930-960 / 1000+ results research Telocytes of the male reproductive system: dynamic tissue organizers
Telocytes help organize male reproductive tissues and their changes can lead to diseases.
research Clinical manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS causes hormonal imbalances, irregular periods, and can lead to infertility, obesity, and mental health issues.
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 Effect of phlebotomy versus oral contraceptives containing cyproterone acetate on the clinical and biochemical parameters in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a randomized controlled trial
Blood removal and birth control pills both helped with hormone levels in women with PCOS, but birth control was better for regular periods and blood removal had fewer side effects.
research Assessing dutasteride-associated sexual dysfunction using the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System
Dutasteride is linked to a higher chance of sexual dysfunction, especially in younger males and the elderly.
research Punch Transplantation in “Early” Androgenetic Alopecia
Early transplantation helps avoid embarrassment and allows relaxed transplant sessions, but be cautious with young patients with thinning hair.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Stress of Discovery
Hair loss discovery causes stress; talking to dermatologists helps.
research Chest Hair Used as Donor Material in Hair Restoration Surgery
Chest hair can be used for scalp hair transplants when there's not enough scalp hair.
research Alopecia and hirsutism*
The document says that hair loss in women is often due to androgenic alopecia, similar to male baldness, and that hirsutism is treated with hormonal and cosmetic methods.
research Dermoscopic assessment of microneedling alone versus microneedling with platelet-rich plasma in cases of male pattern alopecia: A split-head comparative study
Microneedling alone is as effective as microneedling with platelet-rich plasma for male pattern baldness.
research Hair growth effect of traditional Chinese medicine BeauTop on androgenetic alopecia patients: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial
BeauTop improves hair growth in androgenetic alopecia patients.
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 Hyperuricemia is associated with androgenetic alopecia in men: A cross‐sectional case‐control study
High uric acid levels link to male pattern baldness, especially in young men.
research Diagnosis of an indistinct Leydig cell tumor by positron emission tomography-computed tomography
A PET-CT scan successfully located a hard-to-find Leydig cell tumor in a woman with hormonal symptoms.
research The trichotillometry: a technique for hair assessment
Trichotillometry is a reliable method to measure hair strength and assess hair loss treatments.
research Lonely Hair Sign: Not Specific for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Hair diameter diversity is a key sign for diagnosing and managing male pattern baldness.
research Beneficial uses of Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis)
Breadfruit is nutritious and has potential health and medicinal benefits, but is currently underused.
research Facile General Injectable Gelatin/Metal/Tea Polyphenol Double Nanonetworks Remodel Wound Microenvironment and Accelerate Healing
New injectable hydrogels with gelatin, metal, and tea polyphenols help heal diabetic wounds faster by controlling infection, improving blood vessel growth, and managing oxidative stress.
research Distribution of polyamines may be altered in different scalp regions of patients with hair loss
Hair loss patients may have different polyamine levels in various scalp areas.
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 Entrepreneurship in Off-Label Drug Prescription: Just What the Doctor Ordered!
The conclusion is that off-label drug use can lead to important medical discoveries and improve patient care.
research Planning for Maximum Coverage in Surgical Hair Restoration
Walter P. Unger suggests using advanced hair transplant techniques for broader coverage, as they provide natural results and use donor tissue efficiently, while also recommending personalized planning due to the unpredictable progression of baldness.
research Scalp Reduction
Scalp reduction can effectively treat male pattern baldness, with most patients satisfied and few complications.
research Platelet‐rich plasma with low dose oral minoxidil (1.25mg versus 2.5mg) along with trichoscopic pre‐ and post‐treatment evaluation
Combining platelet-rich plasma therapy with low dose oral minoxidil improved hair growth in men with hair loss, with slightly higher satisfaction at the higher minoxidil dose.
research MendelVar: gene prioritization at GWAS loci using phenotypic enrichment of Mendelian disease genes
MendelVar is a tool that helps identify important genes by combining GWAS data with Mendelian disease information.
research Cue masking and cultural signals: Testing context-specific preferences for bald(ing) leaders
Baldness and shaved heads change how traits are seen but don't really affect leader preferences.
research Surgical hair restoration
Surgical hair restoration involves moving hair from a non-balding area to a balding area, with the transplanted hair not subject to male pattern baldness. Medications can slow hair loss and regrow some hair, but successful treatment needs careful planning, skill, and ethical responsibility due to progressive hair loss and limited donor hair.
