research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for managing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia effectively.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Toxicologic studies with the hypotensive agent minoxidil
Minoxidil is mostly safe, but high doses can cause electrolyte imbalances and heart issues in dogs.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Testosterone therapy in women: Myths and misconceptions
Testosterone therapy is beneficial for women's health and does not cause masculinization or liver damage, and it protects the heart and breasts.
research Multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies: adverse effect surveillance and management
The document concludes that managing side effects of MS therapies is crucial for treatment success and patient adherence.
research Effects of strain and age on ear wound healing and regeneration in mice
Young C57BL/6 mice heal better than BALB/c mice, and older mice heal faster but regenerate worse.
research Fetal wound healing using a genetically modified murine model: the contribution of P-selectin
P-selectin is not the only factor that prevents scarring in fetal wound healing in mice.
research 312 CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted genome editing for correction of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa using iPS cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research Abstracts
Get head MRI for babies with achondroplasia early, use free immunoglobulin light chains to detect certain neurodevelopmental disorders, and video calls work for speech therapy in patients with facial anomalies.
research Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Pregnancy
Women with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia may have a higher risk of fertility issues and miscarriages, and should get genetic counseling.
research A brief report on PCOS: and its inducing model
PCOS causes hormonal imbalance, leading to symptoms like irregular periods and infertility.
research The Distribution of Preputial Vessels in Different Severity of Rat Congenital Hypospadias Model: Imaging study using Micro-Computerized Tomograph
The junction of the inner and outer prepuce with good blood flow is best for vascular pedicle flaps.
research The Distribution of Preputial Vessels at Different Severity of Rat Congenital Hypospadias Model
Micro-CT helps identify suitable areas for surgical procedures based on blood vessel distribution in hypospadias-affected rats.
research 314 Molecular genetic dissection of ILVEN leads to successful targeted therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
research 316 Specialized ribosomes in human dermal fibroblast senescence
Specialized ribosomes affect aging in human skin cells.
research 313 Different polyamine levels in the vertex and occipital hair of pattern hair loss patients
People with pattern hair loss have higher polyamine levels in the top of their head compared to the back.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.

research Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity in hair follicle, a prognostic marker of response to the minoxidil treatment in patients with androgenetic alopecia: a review
Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity may predict minoxidil treatment success for hair loss.
research Improved cutaneous wound healing after intraperitoneal injection of alpha‐melanocyte‐stimulating hormone
Injecting alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in mice improved skin healing and reduced scarring.
research Epidemiology, diagnosis and management of hirsutism: a consensus statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society
Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.
research ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 108: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
