420-450 / 1000+ results research Gene Expression Signatures and ALADIN Score Correlate with Response of Alopecia Areata Patients to Treatment with JAK Inhibitors
The ALADIN score can predict how well patients with alopecia areata will respond to JAK inhibitor treatments.
research Arecaceae
Chewing betel nut may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, and saw palmetto can improve urinary symptoms in BPH with fewer side effects but may cause bleeding and allergic reactions.
research Hormonal Contraception for Adolescents
Hormonal birth control pills are commonly used by teens but often fail due to incorrect use.
research Hair Restoration: History and Evolution of Techniques
Hair restoration techniques have evolved from large punch grafts to microfollicular unit transplants, with future advancements potentially including hair cloning.
research Skin Surgery: Volumes I and II
The document suggests improvements for a hair and scalp disease book and recommends a two-volume skin surgery reference for dermatologists.
research Spatial Transcriptome Profiling Reveals TGFβ-2 in Hair Follicle Progenitor Cells Is a Potential Driver of Androgenetic Alopecia
TGFβ-2 may cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Coincidental Epigenetics or Post-Finasteride Syndrome?
The conclusion is that more research is needed to understand if the drug finasteride causes Post-Finasteride Syndrome or if it's due to individual genetic makeup.
research National Lipid Association Recommendations for Patient-Centered Management of Dyslipidemia: Part 2
The guidelines suggest lifestyle changes, diet adjustments, and personalized medication to manage dyslipidemia and reduce heart disease risk.
research Overweight and Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Childhood obesity is rising globally due to various factors, and early prevention and healthy lifestyle changes are crucial.
research Testosterone and Doping Control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Current Evaluation of Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.
research Capture of Endothelial Cells Under Flow Using Immobilized Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor
A surface with VEGF can specifically capture endothelial cells from flowing fluids.
research Assessing Diagnostic Skill in Dermatology: A Comparison Between General Practitioners and Dermatologists
Dermatologists are more accurate than general practitioners in diagnosing skin conditions, especially skin cancer.
research The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Evolutionary Paradox: A Genome-Wide Association Studies-Based, In Silico, Evolutionary Explanation
The research suggests that the global distribution of PCOS is likely due to historical human migration and that genes affecting PCOS may have different impacts on males and females.
research Novel De Novo Pathogenic Variant in the ODC1 Gene in a Girl with Developmental Delay, Alopecia, and Dysmorphic Features
A 32-month-old Caucasian female was identified with a heterozygous de novo nonsense mutation in the ODC1 gene, leading to a new pediatric disorder characterized by developmental delay, alopecia, and other symptoms such as macrosomia and macrocephaly. This mutation resulted in elevated ODC protein and polyamine levels in red blood cells. The case confirmed similar symptoms observed in a transgenic ODC1 mouse model. The mutation was identified through whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. The patient might benefit from treatment with α-difluoromethylornithine, an FDA-approved drug.
research Salivary Gland Function in Persons with Ectodermal Dysplasias
People with ectodermal dysplasias often have reduced saliva production and should get saliva tests.
research Current Evaluation of Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.
