research COVID-19 and hypopituitarism
COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.
research Evolving approaches to profiling the microbiome in skin disease
New technologies help us better understand how skin microbes affect skin diseases.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Pityrosporum species as a cause of allergy and infection
The yeast Pityrosporum ovale can cause skin allergies and infections, and antifungal treatments like ketoconazole are effective against it.
research Polymeric nanocapsular baicalin: Chemometric optimization, physicochemical characterization and mechanistic anticancer approaches on breast cancer cell lines
Baicalin nanocapsules greatly enhance its anticancer effects on breast cancer cells.
research Pathophysiology of the Behçet's Disease
Behçet's Disease may be caused by genetic and environmental factors leading to abnormal immune responses, and stress management and new treatments could improve patient outcomes.
research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Crystalline Cataract and Uncombable Hair
The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research Basic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. What endocrine systems could be implicated?
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research Chemical Mechanism of the Covalent Modification of 5.alpha.-Reductases by Finasteride as Probed by Secondary Tritium Isotope Effects
Finasteride modifies 5-alpha-reductases through a two-step process, affecting inhibitor potency and possibly causing side effects.
research Endoplasmic reticulum stress at the crossroads of progeria and atherosclerosis
A defective protein in progeria causes cell death and atherosclerosis, but a treatment targeting cell stress may reduce these effects.
research The Diagnosis and Management of Hirsutism
The article explains how to identify and treat excessive hair growth in women, which can be distressing and may signal other health problems.
research Unlocking Dithranol’s Potential: Advanced Drug Delivery Systems for Improved Pharmacokinetics
Advanced delivery systems can make dithranol more effective and less irritating for treating psoriasis.
research Nanotechnological reprogramming of the pathological skin microenvironment in scar formation and atopic dermatitis
Nanotechnology could improve treatment for scars and atopic dermatitis by targeting skin issues more effectively.
research The Impact of LED Therapy on Skin: The Review
LED therapy is safe and effective for improving skin health and appearance.
research Hair Tonic Lotion with Cumaru Extract for Psoriasis Care: in vitro Development and Characterization
A hair tonic with cumaru extract may help improve scalp psoriasis naturally.
research Iron-Deficiency Anemia During Childhood
Children need early diagnosis and treatment for iron-deficiency anemia to prevent learning problems and promote health.
research Clinical Snippets
Melanoma risk tools need improvement, a gene mutation causes a hair disorder that might be treated by managing cell stress, a potential therapy for a skin-ear disorder involves blocking cell channels, skin wrinkling may indicate lung aging regardless of smoking, and oxidative stress might contribute to common baldness.
research Drug Eruptions
Any medication can cause skin reactions, some due to allergies and others due to dosage or genetic factors.
research Possible role of autophagy activation in stimulation of regeneration
The document suggests that activating autophagy might help with regeneration by removing old and damaged cells.
research Refractory shock following ingestion of topical minoxidil solution
A man experienced life-threatening shock after swallowing hair growth solution.
research A Comprehensive Review on Metabolic Syndrome
Managing metabolic syndrome needs both lifestyle changes and medical treatments.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
research Protoporphyrin IX: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Protoporphyrin IX is useful in cancer treatment but can cause health problems if not properly regulated.
research Sex differences in COVID-19: the role of androgens in disease severity and progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research THE DISEASE SPECTRUM, EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND ETIOLOGY OF TOXIC-SHOCK SYNDROME
