research α-spinasterol from Melandrium firmum attenuates benign prostatic hyperplasia in a rat model
α-spinasterol from Melandrium firmum can help reduce prostate enlargement.
research Complications with Hair Transplantation
Hair transplant complications are rare with good planning and technique, but risks include infection, bleeding, and patient dissatisfaction.
research Lisinopril-Induced Alopecia: A Case Report
Lisinopril, a heart medication, probably caused hair loss in a patient, which stopped after switching drugs.
research Anti-androgenic therapy with finasteride in patients with chronic heart failure – a retrospective propensity score based analysis

research Ishige sinicola extract stimulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation via the bone morphogenetic protein 2/runt-related gene 2 signalling pathway
Ishige sinicola extract helps bone-building cells grow and mature, which could aid in treating osteoporosis.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Hair Loss and Hirsutism Management
Low-level light therapy, possibly combined with other treatments, may become a leading hair loss treatment, while hirsutism often worsens with age and lacks preventive options.
research Trichotillomania Triggered by Vitamin D Deficiency and Resolving Dramatically With Vitamin D Therapy
A girl's hair-pulling condition improved greatly after she started vitamin D treatment.
research A review on Hair Loss & Damage
The article concludes that understanding the causes of hair loss and using continuous treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help manage it, despite potential side effects.
research 698 Clinical analysis in young patient with persistent sexual dysfunctions after finasteride assumption to prevent male pattern hair loss
Finasteride for hair loss may cause long-lasting sexual side effects in young males.
