research Systematic review: interventions in sickle cell disease-related priapism in reducing overall morbidity, recurrence, and side effects
This systematic review found that treatments for sickle cell disease-related priapism are clinically diverse, with etilefrine, pseudoephedrine/etilefrine-5 inhibitors, and finasteride appearing promising, but further research with robust study designs is needed to establish evidence-based practices.
research Hair Cortisol Is a Potential Indicator of Adrenal Insufficiency in Individuals with Sickle Cell Disease
This study suggests that individuals with severe sickle cell disease, indicated by higher hemoglobin S and ferritin levels, may have lower cortisol levels as shown by reduced hair cortisol content.
research Sickle Cell Disease Complications and BMI Percentiles of Pediatric Patients
This study explored the relationship between BMI percentiles and clinical severity in pediatric patients with different hemoglobin genotypes, finding significant BMI differences and associations with pain frequency, particularly noting that patients with HbSS experienced more pain than those with HbSC.
research (PNM-35) Recurrent priapism in a sickle cell disease patient treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists drugs: a case report
In this case report, goserelin, a GnRH agonist, was effective in managing stuttering priapism and improving erectile function in a patient with sickle cell disease, suggesting potential for last-line treatment.

5 / 23 resultscommunity CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
community The pessimism about the Crisp Cas 9 is excessive
CRISPR Cas9 could potentially treat baldness by targeting specific genes in hair follicles without affecting other body functions. There is optimism about its future use, despite ethical concerns and the current reliance on treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community My experience with finasteride and outlook on hairloss
The user started finasteride at 21.5 years old and saw significant improvement in hair volume and maintenance of the hairline, though some recession continued. They are optimistic about future hair loss treatments like CRISPR and are not currently using additional treatments like minoxidil or derma-rolling.
community How far are we from gene editing stem cells and implanting them?
Gene editing for hair loss is not yet viable due to technological and economic challenges. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants remain the most practical options.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
