research Can plant‐derived phytochemicals provide symptom relief for hair loss? A critical review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Next-Gen Therapeutics for Skin Cancer: Nutraceuticals
Certain spices may help prevent and treat skin cancer, but more human trials are needed.
research Clinical Case Notes. Castleman's disease of the lacrimal gland
The document discusses various eye conditions and their treatments, including a rare eye cancer in a baby, vision loss from a cancer drug, cataracts from a baldness treatment, a rare skin disorder, and a specific type of eye disease diagnosed with a special imaging technique.
research Infundibular protein and RNA microarray analyses from affected and clinically non-affected scalp in male androgenetic alopecia patients
Finasteride helps female-pattern hair loss.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Screening of Euphorbiaceae Plant Extracts for Anti-5α-reductase
Phyllanthus urinaria extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Male Pattern Alopecia
Minoxidil can help thicken hair in some people with male pattern baldness, especially if used early and continuously.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
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.
research Severity of Alopecia Predicts Coronary Changes and Arterial Stiffness in Untreated Hypertensive Men
Men with severe early-onset baldness may have worse heart artery function and stiffer arteries if they have high blood pressure.
research Mapping of cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci in human scalp hair follicles
Researchers identified genes in scalp hair follicles that may affect hair traits and hair loss.
research Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research Regarding prostate-specific antigen: let's not shoot the messenger
The drugs finasteride and dutasteride reduce low-grade prostate cancers but may double the risk of high-grade cancers.
research Androgenic pattern presentation of scarring and inflammatory alopecia
Many people diagnosed with androgenic alopecia might actually have hidden scarring or inflammation.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Expression Level of Prostaglandin D2 Receptor 2 Regulates Hair Regression
Higher levels of the DP2 receptor may lead to hair loss.
research Selections from current literature: androgenetic alopecia: the science behind a new oral treatment
New oral treatment, finasteride, effectively and safely treats common hair loss.
research Female pattern hair loss, biological ageing and the Leiden Longevity study
Women with aging signs and heart issues have higher hair loss risk, which may predict shorter lifespan and affect attractiveness.
research Hereditary, Congenital, and Acquired Alopecias
The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.
research Virilization beyond menopause: an uncommon ovarian tumor in an elderly patient with multimodality imaging and pathologic correlation
Surgery resolved hormone imbalance and symptoms in a rare ovarian tumor case in an elderly woman.
research Dyslipidemia, hormonal profiles, and sleep characteristics in men with androgenetic alopecia: an analysis based on data from the EPISONO study
Men with androgenetic alopecia may have higher triglycerides, suggesting a link to lipid metabolism.
research Spectrum and clinical burden of Unrecognized Dermatologic Diseases in hospitalized adults: A single-centre cross-sectional study
Many skin issues in hospitalized adults go unnoticed, needing better checks and teamwork.
research Lifestyle factors affecting the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia: a literature review
Lifestyle changes can help manage androgenetic alopecia.
research Hội chứng chuyển hoá và các yếu tố liên quan ở bệnh nhân rụng tóc nội tiết tố androgen
Androgenetic alopecia patients have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome.
research Comparing minoxidil-finasteride mixed solution with minoxidil solution alone for male androgenetic alopecia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
The minoxidil-finasteride combination is more effective for hair growth than minoxidil alone.
research Association study reveals a susceptibility locus with male pattern baldness in the Han Chinese population
