This study introduced a validated LC-MS/MS-based method for profiling long-term steroid concentrations in human scalp hair, offering potential applications in endocrinology research.

This study suggests that many men with premature balding exhibit a hormonal pattern similar to some aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

This study found that LC-MS/MS is a more reliable method than immunoassays for measuring serum 17OHP and androgen levels in women with hyperandrogenism.

In this study, the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment was reported to significantly increase the solubility and isotopic abundance ratios of flutamide, potentially improving its stability and efficacy.

This study reviewed the current understanding of congenital adrenal hyperplasia from 21-hydroxylase deficiency, highlighting the impact of universal newborn screening in reducing mortality and discussing ongoing treatment challenges and future therapeutic prospects.

Among females with nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency, this study found that low-dose glucocorticoid treatment improved fertility outcomes by increasing pregnancy and live birth rates while reducing miscarriage rates.

This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a 77-year-old woman with female pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who showed no improvement with minoxidil and lacked adrenal tumors on imaging.

This study found that diagnosing nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in women based solely on serum 17OHP measurements can lead to false positives, suggesting the need for urinary steroid profiles and genetic testing for confirmation.

This case report describes a patient with alopecia areata treated with diphencyprone, who experienced both successful hair regrowth and later intense hair shedding, compatible with telogen effluvium, suggesting a possible link between contact dermatitis treatments and telogen effluvium onset.

People with cleft lip and palate often have respiratory problems.

Surgery to fix a broken upper arm bone can sometimes lead to nerve damage.

This article discusses the various roles of steroids in vertebrate organ systems and notes several glucocorticoids that were among the Top 200 Drugs by sales in the 2010s, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study developed a sensitive method using LC-ESI-MS/MS for accurate and reliable measurement of nine steroid hormones in children's serum.

Proximal hair cortisol is a reliable tool for diagnosing Cushing's Syndrome.

This review discusses the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids in sports and outlines current methods for detecting urinary steroid doping, particularly testosterone, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study reported that among Filipino elderly patients, xerosis/xerotic eczema was the most common dermatological condition leading to consultation, with inflammatory dermatoses being the predominant category of skin diseases observed from 2014 to 2018 at a tertiary hospital's dermatology service.

Among reproductive-aged women in Iran, this study found that the prevalence of PCOS varied significantly depending on the diagnostic criteria used, with estimates ranging from 7.1% to 14.6%.

This study suggests that ethylene and lignoceric acid (C24:0) may promote cotton fiber and Arabidopsis root hair growth by activating the pectin biosynthesis network.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency as the most common autosomal recessive disorder in humans and highlights the effectiveness of glucocorticoid treatment in reversing related symptoms.

In this study of reproductive-aged women in Tehran, idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome were reported to be prevalent, with rates influenced by the screening methods used.

The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.

This study found that finasteride 1 mg daily decreased 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels and improved hair growth in younger men with androgenetic alopecia, with higher initial hormone levels predicting better response.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher angiotensin converting enzyme activity and insulin resistance compared to controls, suggesting a correlation between these factors.

This study found that cream ingestion increased NFκB activation in women with PCOS, which was associated with insulin resistance and higher ovarian androgen levels, regardless of obesity status.
