A cheap stainless steel container from a retail store can store liquid nitrogen effectively for 8-12 hours, offering a cost-effective alternative to specialized medical containers.

This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with idiopathic scoliosis in females, which might influence spinal gene expression and was previously linked to protection from early-onset alopecia.

This case series suggests a possible, though likely very rare, association between vaccinations and hair loss, calling for further research in more defined populations.

This study characterized the inflammatory response in a murine burn model, revealing similarities to human burns and supporting the model's use in testing therapies for burn complications.

This review discusses the variety of skin conditions linked to eating disorders and emphasizes that resolving these skin issues often requires treating the underlying disorder.

The type of zinc in a dog's diet affects hair growth and health.

The study observed that finasteride reduced fertility in male Sprague-Dawley rats by impairing the formation of copulatory plugs, an effect considered specific to rats and not applicable to species without this reproductive feature.

This review discusses the skin conditions linked to eating disorders and emphasizes that treating the underlying disorder often improves these dermatological symptoms.

Finasteride temporarily lowers male rat fertility without affecting libido.

This article describes an organized diagnostic approach for identifying nonscarring and scarring alopecias to aid family physicians in making accurate in-office diagnoses, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study examined how different forms of dietary zinc affect the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair to evaluate coat condition.

This study examined how the form of dietary zinc affects the dimensions, weight, and zinc content of dog hair, which are considered indicators of coat condition.

This review discusses zinc's role in dog metabolism and suggests that zinc from amino acid chelates might be better absorbed than from inorganic sources, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses zinc's role in dog nutrition, emphasizing that zinc absorption may be improved when provided as an amino acid chelate rather than an inorganic source, but reports no new results.

Treatments for hair loss include hormone modifiers, minoxidil, and hair transplant surgery.

In this study, jaw wiring led to significant weight loss in patients with severe obesity, but two-thirds regained weight after the wires were removed.

This study concluded that spironolactone may be an effective therapy for a subgroup of hirsute patients, as it reduced plasma testosterone and improved certain hair growth measures.

This study identifies a mechanism where dsRNA activates TLR3 to induce RA production, promoting hair follicle regeneration in mice and suggesting a potential role in human tissue regeneration.

This review discusses common psychodermatologic conditions and provides practical diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations but reports no new results; the authors emphasize the challenge of treating patients who lack insight into their psychiatric symptoms.

The conclusion suggests that treatments targeting root causes of chronic diseases may be developed by focusing on gene expression and lifestyle factors.

This study suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair, which typically appears at or after puberty, may be androgen dependent and could progress to male pattern baldness.

This study explored the challenges faced by both clinicians and women with polycystic ovary syndrome in managing the condition, highlighting issues with treatment options, misinformation, and differing expectations in care.
