research Minoxidil Therapy in Refractory Hypertension Analysis of 155 Patients
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure effectively but may cause side effects.
research A randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical study of hair regeneration using adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract in androgenetic alopecia
ADSC-CE treatment safely increases hair density and thickness in androgenetic alopecia patients.
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 Mesotherapy for local fat reduction
Mesotherapy might help reduce fat in specific areas for those close to their ideal weight, but more research and care are needed to ensure safety.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Critical Role of ATP-P2X7 Axis in UV-Induced Melanogenesis
ATP increases melanin production in skin after UV exposure, with the P2X7 receptor being crucial for this process.
research Cicatricial alopecia
Permanent hair loss from cicatricial alopecia is treated by reducing inflammation and managing symptoms, but regrowth in scarred areas is unlikely.
research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research An Update on Drug-Induced Pigmentation
Some drugs can cause skin and hair color changes, often reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Topical use of systemic drugs in dermatology: A comprehensive review
