research Intralesional Injection of Triamcinolone Acetonide, Methotrexate and Vitamin D in Treatment of Alopecia Areata: A Narrative Review
Methotrexate and vitamin D3 are potentially more effective and safer than triamcinolone for treating localized alopecia areata.
research Comparative Efficacy and Adverse Clinical Events of Methotrexate versus Azathioprine with Steroid Mini Pulse Therapy in the Management of Moderate to Severe Alopecia Areata: A Tertiary Centre Based Interventional Study
Methotrexate with steroids is slightly more effective than azathioprine with steroids for treating severe alopecia areata.
research Crystal structure of steroid reductase SRD5A reveals conserved steroid reduction mechanism
The structure of SRD5A reveals how it reduces steroids, aiding drug design for related health conditions.
research Cirmcumscribed juvenile pityriasis rubra pilaris in a 5-year-old-girl treated with topical keratolytic and steroid
A 5-year-old girl with a rare skin disorder was effectively treated with skin creams instead of oral medication.
research Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Therapy
PRP injection therapy shows promise for treating hair loss, increasing hair count and thickness with minimal side effects.
research Calcineurin-based immunosuppression in renal transplantation : focus on efficacy, the role of steroids, and the cardiovascular risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Systemic Steroids With or Without 2% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Steroids help hair regrowth, and minoxidil slows post-steroid hair loss, but effects are temporary.
research Tinea genitalis: a new entity of sexually transmitted infection? Case series and review of the literature
Sexual activity can spread T. interdigitale, needing quick antifungal treatment to avoid permanent scarring.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Inhibition of Human Steroid 5β-Reductase (AKR1D1) by Finasteride and Structure of the Enzyme-Inhibitor Complex
Finasteride helps treat hair loss and prostate enlargement by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Effects on Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase Gene Expression of Thai Rice Bran Extracts and Molecular Dynamics Study on SRD5A2
Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.
research Selective induction of apoptosis in the hamster flank sebaceous gland organ by a topical liposome 5-α-reductase inhibitor: A treatment strategy for acne
A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Effect of finasteride on ovulation induction in nonresponder (hyperandrogenic) polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women
Finasteride helps induce ovulation in nonresponder PCOS women.
research HIV infection mimicking autoimmune disorder
A girl with symptoms like an autoimmune disorder actually had HIV and a fungal infection, which was hard to diagnose and treat, leading to her death.
research Comparative Study between Topical Steroid alone versus Combined Fractional Erbium:YAG laser with Topical Steroid in Treatment of Alopecia Areata
The combination of laser and topical steroids is more effective for treating alopecia areata than topical steroids alone.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation/Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
