research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Update on Diagnosis and Treatment
The conclusion is that early diagnosis and a multi-system treatment approach are crucial for managing PCOS and its associated health risks.
research Comparison of Diane 35 and Diane 35 plus finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism
Diane 35 plus finasteride is more effective in reducing hair growth and androgen levels, but may decrease libido.
research 1 Androgens
Testosterone is made by Leydig cells, is active when not bound to proteins, and works by binding to receptors in muscles and other tissues.
research Microarray analysis of androgenetic and senescent alopecia: Comparison of gene expression shows two distinct profiles
The conclusion is that androgenetic alopecia and senescent alopecia have unique gene changes, suggesting different causes and potential treatments for these hair loss types.
research Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions
Minoxidil can reduce functions related to androgen receptors.
research A descriptive study of alopecia patterns and their relation to thyroid dysfunction
Hair loss is often linked to thyroid problems, especially in women and older people, and screening for thyroid issues is advised for those with hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss from genetics and hormones can be treated with drugs or surgery.
research Abietic Acid from Resina Pini of Pinus Species as a Testosterone 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor
Abietic acid from pine resin can effectively inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research Serum 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide is decreased in nonhirsute women with acne vulgaris
Women with acne have lower levels of a specific hormone marker than women without acne.
research The clock gene brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) is involved in hair growth
A gene called BMAL1 plays a role in controlling hair growth.
research Female pattern hair loss may be triggered by low oestrogen to androgen ratio.
Low estrogen compared to androgen may cause female hair loss.
research Effect of Citrullus colocynthis Schard on Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Citrullus colocynthis fruit extract and its compound may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Editor’s picks January 2021
PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.
research An Occult Leydig Cell Tumour in a Postmenopausal Woman Presenting with Alopecia and Hirsutism: A Case Report
Surgery successfully treated a hidden ovarian tumor causing hair loss and excess hair growth in a postmenopausal woman.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, certain gene mutations cause skin diseases and could be treated by targeting those mutations, skin wrinkling may relate to lung aging due to genetic factors, and oxidative stress affects hair loss but can be reduced in low oxygen.
research Finasteride in The Treatment of Female Androgenic Alopecia
Finasteride may help postmenopausal women with hair loss but is not effective for all and should be used cautiously in premenopausal women.
research Targeting receptor–regulator interactions
New treatments for cancer and skin disorders show promise in disrupting harmful cell interactions and promoting hair growth.
research Chaperones as thermodynamic sensors
New cancer treatments show promise in reducing tumor growth and improving skin regeneration in mice.
research A new way to restore tumour suppressor function
New treatments may restore cancer-blocking proteins, slow prostate cancer, identify drug targets, and potentially regrow hair.
research Why are men with premature alopecia at higher risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia? And what about prostate cancer?
Men with early hair loss may have a higher risk of enlarged prostate and possibly prostate cancer due to shared hormonal factors.
research Prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia
The document suggests more research is needed to understand the link between baldness and prostate cancer.
research Pattern Baldness: Its Genetics Revisited
Pattern baldness is likely caused by a dominant gene influenced by testosterone levels, making it more common in men.
research Dyslipidemia in patients with androgenetic alopecia. Statins, finasteride or both?
Alopecia patients have higher heart disease risk; statins and finasteride may help.
research Temperature-responsive detachable microneedles integrated with minoxidil nanoparticle for effectively promoting hair regrowth
A new microneedle system with minoxidil nanoparticles effectively promotes hair regrowth with fewer side effects.
research La alopecia androgénica femenina: ¿cuáles son las principales preguntas de mis pacientes?
Female androgenetic alopecia affects many women, is reversible with treatment like Minoxidil, and has significant psychological impacts.
research Relatório de Estágio realizado na Farmácia Santiago
The internship highlighted the pharmacist's important role in health education and community engagement.
research Developmental origin of polycystic ovary syndrome - a hypothesis
The hypothesis suggests that PCOS may start early in life due to genetic and environmental factors, influencing future reproductive and metabolic problems.
