This study found that a single injection of autologous cell micrografts significantly improved hair condition in women with androgenetic alopecia six months post-treatment.

This study found that metformin's effect on reducing prolactin levels is less pronounced in women with PCOS compared to control subjects, likely due to higher endogenous testosterone levels, despite improvements in insulin sensitivity in both groups after six months of treatment.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.

This research highlights dermatologists' concerns about the widespread use of sports supplements, noting that nutritional supplements associated with muscle-building and appearance enhancement can lead to dermatological issues like acne and alopecia, while potentially containing harmful substances such as undisclosed anabolic steroids.

This case report presents a 60-year-old woman with virilization and elevated adrenal androgens, where a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy confirmed ovarian steroid cell tumor NOS, and her symptoms resolved post-operatively.

This review covers the clinical features, pathophysiology, differential diagnoses, and therapeutic options for neuroendocrine paraneoplastic syndromes affecting the skin but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses molecular testing for endocrine diseases, highlighting its diagnostic benefits and potential for prevention, particularly in conditions like multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and adrenogenital syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.

This study found that parents identified with cryptic NCCAH through genetic testing are mostly asymptomatic but may experience temporary female infertility and require glucocorticoid stress coverage in specific circumstances.

This review discusses Chrousos syndrome, a rare condition caused by NR 3C1 gene mutations leading to glucocorticoid resistance, and reports no new clinical results; early identification and genetic testing are recommended for diagnosis.

This study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.

This phase 1 study reported that after administering supratherapeutic doses of cortexolone 17α‐propionate, a topical antiandrogen intended for hair loss treatment, there was no effect on the QTc interval, indicating no measurable cardiac safety concerns in the concentration range tested.

The authors suggest that male-pattern hair loss may be linked to neuropathy caused by tension on scalp nerves, potentially worsened by testosterone, and propose electrical stimulation as a temporary treatment.

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

A 72-year-old man with sudden taste issues and hair growth was diagnosed with a severe stomach cancer and died within 5 months.

Teak leaf extract hair tonic was tested for hair growth and safety.

This review discusses hirsutism management guidelines, recommending androgen testing only for women with abnormal hirsutism scores and advocating for combined therapy approaches depending on severity and underlying conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

This study found that Avicennia marina extract significantly inhibited 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human hair dermal papilla cells, suggesting its potential use for treating androgenic alopecia.

This clinical case report identifies xanthomatous hypophysitis in a male patient, highlighting the mismatch between clinical symptoms and MRI findings, which led to a pituitary biopsy and accurate diagnosis instead of unnecessary surgery.

In this study, socially defeated mice showed increased alcohol consumption, and CRF-R1 antagonism selectively reduced drinking in these mice, suggesting a potential treatment target for stress-related alcohol use disorders.

This review discusses the types, causes, and treatments for skin pigmentation disorders, examining clinically tested options including 25 plants, four marine species, and 17 medications.

In this study, researchers developed an herbal shampoo using extracts from multiple plants and observed that specific combinations effectively inhibited bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus species, with certain formulations also being well-received by consumers for color and overall satisfaction.

Most women with excessive hair growth have PCOS; treatment varies and focuses on preventing new hair, with electrolysis as the only permanent removal method.

This article reviews the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome but reports no new clinical findings; it highlights associated health risks and recommended treatments.

The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.

In this case report, authors described a pet golden hamster with a confirmed adrenocortical adenocarcinoma, where laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging enabled antemortem diagnosis, despite the species' rarity for these procedures.

This review examines various skin pigmentation disorders, their causes, and potential treatments, detailing 25 plants, 4 marine species, and 17 clinically tested topical and oral medications for managing these conditions.

This article discusses the role of androgens in metabolic and reproductive health and reports no new experimental results; the focus is on androgen receptor activation by testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone.
