This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This study found that in a mouse model, alopecia areata was associated with changes in heart structure, biochemistry, and gene expression linked to cardiac hypertrophy after ACTH exposure.

This review discusses the clinical features, genetics, and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new research findings.

This study found that in men with sexual dysfunction, use of 5ARI may reduce sexual drive and spontaneous erections without worsening pre-existing erectile or ejaculatory issues.

This review identifies evidence of sexual adverse effects, particularly linked to finasteride, in men using systemic dermatologic medications but reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

Hair growth dysfunction involves various conditions with limited treatment options.

In this case study, a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experienced substantial improvement in musculoskeletal and neurobehavioral symptoms after low-dose testosterone therapy, highlighting its potential role in managing chronic glucocorticoid overtreatment effects.

This review identifies and discusses various endocrine-related causes of hypertension in children and adolescents, emphasizing the role of genetic predispositions and highlighting the need for systematic diagnostic guidelines and genetic sequencing referrals to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum T3 and cortisol levels compared to healthy controls, although both remained within normal ranges, highlighting potential hormonal involvement in the condition. However, no significant differences were observed in T4 and TSH levels.

This case report detailed a unique instance of hypopituitarism in a 65-year-old male presenting with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, attributed to secondary adrenal insufficiency, which improved following appropriate cortisol treatment.

In this study, repeated finasteride administration was associated with decreased social interaction and cognitive deficits in male rats, potentially linked to changes in cholinergic system activity.

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 study determined that nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia has a 2.2% prevalence among hyperandrogenic women in Spain, with basal serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone showing excellent diagnostic performance.

Randomized trials reported that testosterone therapy improved sexual function in postmenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, particularly those who had undergone oophorectomy, with reversible and well-tolerated side effects.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, genetics, and management of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, noting subfertility and hormonal issues without providing new clinical results.

This review discusses the evaluation, clinical presentation, and cutaneous manifestations of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, focusing on differential diagnosis challenges with polycystic ovary syndrome, and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that young women with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia had impaired sexual function and mild depressive symptoms compared to healthy women.

This study observed that adding simvastatin to ongoing metformin treatment reduced certain androgen levels in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and abnormal glucose metabolism, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, insulin resistance was more strongly associated with cardio-metabolic abnormalities than β-cell dysfunction, and they showed different correlations with obesity.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing different causes of adult androgen excess and outlines current screening and management strategies but reports no new findings.

This case report describes the first confirmed instances of X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy/adrenoleukodystrophy in two brothers from Bangladesh, noting their progressive neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and differing disease outcomes over several years of observation.

Many women experience sexual dysfunction, but few seek help, and better treatment and medical training are needed.

Female hair loss patients more likely to have dry eye and gland issues.

This study found that a basal 17-hydroxyprogesterone level is effective for screening nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women, with a 4 ng/mL cutoff providing high specificity and positive predictive value.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for non-classic congenital hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and provides evidence-based recommendations for its treatment and genetic counseling.

This article reviews how various hormones may affect female sexual function and provides recommendations for diagnosing and treating endocrinologic sexual difficulties, but it reports no new clinical results.

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 the genetics and variable phenotypic expression of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors call for further research on long-term health impacts and treatment strategies.
