Scientists found a new, less invasive way to study body clocks using hair cells, which shows shift workers' body clocks don't match their lifestyles.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.

The study found that women with PCOS have more and larger ovarian follicles and differences in ovarian structure, but these features alone can't always diagnose PCOS.

People with alopecia areata often have lower vitamin D levels, which are linked to more severe and longer-lasting hair loss, but vitamin D receptor levels in the skin don't show the same pattern and don't predict treatment success.

Finasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate and male baldness, improves symptoms of hirsutism in women, but doesn't work for acne, and may delay prostate cancer progression with few side effects.

Different factors like pH, gel type, and chemical enhancers affect how well hydrocortisone gets into hair follicles, and less hydrated skin doesn't work well with the test method.

An 11-month-old boy with Menkes disease had severe brain shrinkage and abnormal blood vessels, and didn't respond well to treatment.

People with vitiligo may have a higher rate of Helicobacter pylori infection, but the infection's severity doesn't affect how severe the vitiligo is.

Exposure to toxic elements like mercury and lead may be linked to autism, and a higher zinc to copper ratio might help protect against it.

Metformin improves early signs of heart disease in women with PCOS and raises apelin levels, but doesn't significantly change artery thickness.

A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.

Mothers and newborns with dental fillings have higher mercury in their hair, but adding fillings during pregnancy doesn't raise mercury levels further.

Drug companies were interested in advertising directly to consumers to make back their money, but most didn't think it would help and were concerned about negative effects.

Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.

Stopping certain drugs can improve skin conditions, arsenicosis affects over half of a Bangladeshi village, males are more vulnerable, and certain treatments are effective for warts, acne, and psoriasis. Smoking and drinking are linked to psoriasis in men, a cream helps with a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't directly cause chronic hair loss in women.

Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug.

Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, early treatment is key for baby herpes and diabetic foot ulcers, a certain vaccine works against genital herpes and HPV in women, more frequent light therapy helps psoriasis, smoking and drinking can worsen psoriasis, a cream clears up a type of skin cancer, and low iron levels don't cause chronic hair loss.
