research BH06: Clinical trial of combination therapy with oral hydroxychloroquine and topical tacrolimus versus oral finasteride and topical tacrolimus in frontal fibrosing alopecia
research Randomized control trial to study the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma as intraoperative holding solution in hair restoration surgery: A pilot study
Using platelet-rich plasma in hair restoration surgery significantly improves hair density after 6 months and is safe to use.
research The “NOMINAL” trial: Clinical efficacy, cosmetic acceptability, and local tolerability of topical 5% minoxidil lotion without propylene glycol: A 6-month, multicentre, real-life, prospective, assessor-blinded study in 196 subjects with hair loss.

research Controversies: Is Finasteride Safety Data Adequately Reported in Published Trials?
Finasteride safety data in trials may be underreported or misrepresented.
research The Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Hair Regrowth: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial
Platelet-rich plasma injections significantly improved hair regrowth and thickness in patients with hair loss.
research A phase IIA randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to study the efficacy and safety of the selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), MK-0773 in female participants with sarcopenia
MK-0773 safely increased muscle mass but did not improve muscle strength or function in elderly women with sarcopenia.
research HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in transgender women: a subgroup analysis of the iPrEx trial
PrEP for HIV is less effective in transgender women mainly due to low adherence to the treatment.
research Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials and cohort studies of mycophenolate mofetil in lupus nephritis
Mycophenolate mofetil is safer and more effective than cyclophosphamide for treating lupus nephritis.
research Addressing continuous data for participants excluded from trial analysis: a guide for systematic reviewers
The conclusion is that the risk of losing significance in meta-analysis results increases with smaller effects and more missing data, and using the median standard deviation for imputation is recommended.
research Antagonism of NMDA receptors as a potential treatment for Down syndrome: a pilot randomized controlled trial
Memantine may slightly improve memory in people with Down syndrome, but more research is needed.
research Efficacy of betamethasone valerate foam formulation in comparison with betamethasone dipropionate lotion in the treatment of mild‐to‐moderate alopecia areata: A multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, investigator‐blinded trial
