This study developed a detailed classification system for functional androgenization in females that may enhance diagnosis and personalized treatment by identifying individual dysfunctions.

This report describes two prepubertal children with autoimmune gastritis, highlighting the need to screen paediatric patients with organ-specific autoimmune diseases for co-existing conditions.

This study suggests that hair loss in Chesapeake Bay retrievers is a breed-specific syndrome characterized by unique histological features and abnormal steroid production, possibly influenced by familial factors.

This article discusses the importance of oral and maxillofacial surgeons understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of acne vulgaris, but it presents no new research findings.

This review evaluates therapies for hyperandrogenism, highlighting cyproterone acetate as the preferred treatment due to its potency and tolerability in managing symptoms in women.

This article discusses the minimal research on hair growth physiology and highlights Dr. Masumi Inaba's contributions to understanding androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new experimental results.

This study found that treatment with the pure antiandrogen Flutamide did not affect the estrous cycle or plasma levels of most hormones in female rats, supporting its potential use for treating hirsutism, acne, and alopecia in women.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

In this review, the authors aim to improve the differential diagnosis between hyperandrogenic PCOS and NCAH, which could lead to more personalized treatment strategies for patients experiencing hyperandrogenism.

This study explored the immune environment of the hair follicle's bulge region and suggested that its unique signaling may prevent melanoma formation by lacking necessary proinflammatory signals for full oncogenic transformation, indicating potential strategies for melanoma prevention by replicating this immune-privileged environment.

This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.

This review discusses factors influencing hair pigmentation and the etiology of canities, noting the lack of clarity in underlying mechanisms and calling for further research on treatment options.

This study found that the count of CAG trinucleotide repeats in the androgen receptor gene may be associated with acne in female patients without hyperandrogenism.

This case report indicates that HAIR-AN syndrome can lead to severe hyperandrogenism with virilisation signs in women after excluding tumoral causes and identifying signs of insulin resistance.

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.

This case report describes a testosterone- and cortisol-secreting adrenocortical oncocytoma causing hirsutism in a 23-year-old woman, highlighting adrenal oncocytomas as an important consideration for differential diagnosis.

This review discusses the similarities in clinical, endocrine, and ultrasonographic features between PCOS and other disorders with excessive androgen secretion, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis but reports no new clinical results.

This study presents evidence that specific thymus-derived peptides affect human hair follicle growth, identifying thymulin as a potential hair growth stimulator despite interindividual response variations.

Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.

This article discusses the diagnostic approach to symmetrical alopecia in dogs, particularly focusing on conditions affecting the endocrine glands and hair follicles, without presenting new research results.

This review discusses the unique challenges of diagnosing and managing polycystic ovarian syndrome in adolescents and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that while GPT-4 shows high accuracy and efficiency in clinical decision making, physicians' critical thinking and lifelong learning skills remain essential, particularly in addressing and interpreting AI errors in medical settings.

This study found that chronic stress may inhibit hair follicle growth and melanogenesis in mice through modulation of the central HPA axis, with C57BL/6 mice appearing most sensitive to these effects.

This article reviews the causes and management of hirsutism, reports no new results, and emphasizes that prolonged pharmaceutical treatment is necessary for improvement.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

This review highlights Stephen Rothman's influential role in transforming dermatology into a rigorous scientific discipline but does not report new clinical research outcomes.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism and suggests that combination treatment, including androgen suppression and cosmetic methods, is most effective, but notes that its pathogenesis remains unclear.

This chapter reviews hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets, covering its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options, but reports no new research findings.

This report details the case of an 11-year-old girl with APECED syndrome carrying a unique homozygous mutation in the AIRE gene, the first of its kind documented.

This study describes the case of a Filipino woman with virilisation, where a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumour was identified and removed, normalizing her testosterone levels.
