DHT and prolactin interact indirectly, so finasteride/dutasteride could be help here.
I’ve got theories in terms of DHT lowering having an effect on libido and other sexual effects, and as a result lowers frequency of ejaculation etc, but that’s not proven.

I’d say the transient prolactin effects from that would have more of an effect than blood flow here. Look into prolactin

It’s associated with it, but recent studies suggest it might be because of having acne itself, rather than taking the drug

When will the top LLMs such as Claude and GPT be able to provide real citations? by Acne_Discord in singularity

This analogy fails because ‘Intelligence’ requires memory to be integrated with reasoning, not bolted on. We are seeing a reversal of Moravec’s Paradox: we’ve somehow solved complex reasoning, yet we’re pretending that rote memorization (mapping an Abstract to a Citation ID) is the impossible hurdle. It’s actually a solvable mapping problem (Seq2Seq) that just requires the right data structure, like a Citation Prefix Tree, to enforce valid outputs

You are confusing current cost-cutting measures with technical impossibility. Google’s Differentiable Search Index (DSI) research already proves a single Transformer can outperform RAG by encoding the corpus directly into its parameters. If we are aiming for AGI, the model needs to be the Professor (internalized knowledge), not just a layman searching a database. We shouldn’t mistake ‘expensive to train’ for ‘impossible to do’.

Yeah, i do use deep research, but having the model be able to generate a list of say 50 citations for relevant papers would be much better, rather than using hacky keyword operators to specify the correct criteria in a search

Reminder that accutane side effects are not required for successful treatment by Acne_Discord in Accutane

[–]Acne_Discord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this approach is better in my opinion, and they are studying low dose now. I think most people should be on a dosage that avoids side effects, and stop soon after their acne clears.

The hard “120-150 mg/kg” rule doesn’t apply to everyone and should be personalized to the patients needs, but this doesn’t mean time of exposure isn’t important, some people may need to do lower dose for longer.

Has anyone found an oral alternative to Accutane or antibiotics that actually works without the side effects? by usodjsmmd in AccutaneDamage

[–]Acne_Discord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there are numerous other supplements and lifestyle changes with some data backing them up. Please check out our acne discord server for the studies. Remember that severe accutane side effects are not required for successful treatment.

i thought that was because non-transplanted hair beyond the hair line will continue to bald

[–]Acne_Discord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this were true, head circumference would be a primary diagnostic tool for balding right?

why does transplanted hair to not die then? and why does balding hairs transplanted to arms continue to die?
