Women with scarring alopecia have a lower quality of life and more anxiety and depression than those with non-scarring alopecia.
research Obesity and the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Obesity worsens Polycystic Ovary Syndrome symptoms, and weight loss is a key treatment.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Development of a Core Set Questionnaire by the European Society of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus (EUSCLE)
The European Society of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus created a questionnaire to standardize patient assessment and improve care for cutaneous lupus.
research Towards a consensus on how to diagnose and quantify female pattern hair loss – The ‘Female Pattern Hair Loss Severity Index (FPHL-SI)’
New method measures female hair loss: Female Pattern Hair Loss Severity Index (FPHL-SI).
research Antiandrogen Treatment with Spironolactone and Linestrenol Decreases Bone Mineral Density in Eumenorrhoeic Women with Androgen Excess
Taking spironolactone and linestrenol for androgen excess can lead to lower bone density in young women.
research Minoxidil Treatment of Malignant Hypertension
Minoxidil helps treat severe high blood pressure.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research The Pharmacokinetics of 2.5- to 10-mg Oral Doses of Minoxidil in Healthy Volunteers
This document studied minoxidil in healthy volunteers. Minoxidil is quickly absorbed and eliminated from the body.
research Efficacy and Safety of Oral Minoxidil 5 mg Once Daily in the Treatment of Male Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia: An Open-Label and Global Photographic Assessment
Oral minoxidil 5 mg daily increases hair growth safely in men with hair loss, with minor side effects.
research Lifestyle and Physiological Factors Associated with Facial Wrinkling in Men and Women
Age, smoking, and lower BMI increase facial wrinkles; men wrinkle more than women, except in old age; pale skin and certain hormonal factors can protect against wrinkles.
research Androgenetic alopecia and risk of coronary artery disease
Balding people may have higher heart disease risk.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Treatment of Eyebrow Hypotrichosis Using Bimatoprost: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Vehicle-Controlled Pilot Study

research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
