This review discusses current anti-inflammatory treatment options for calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) and highlights the lack of crystal-targeted therapies, emphasizing the need for more research to guide treatment.

Phenobarbitone can cause severe and sometimes fatal skin reactions.

This study found that stress hormones, particularly CRF, can inhibit hair growth and induce hair loss by affecting human dermal papilla cells and hair follicles, suggesting a functional HPA axis in these cells.

This study found that human hair follicles can function like a peripheral hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, synthesizing cortisol in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation.

This study concluded that qiviut cortisol can be used as a measure of HPA axis activity in muskoxen, with hair growth phase and body region affecting cortisol levels.

Alopecia areata may involve stress-related changes affecting hormone receptors, leading to reduced cortisol production.

This report describes a 3-year-old boy with a potential new neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by unilateral alopecia, ipsilateral hemimegalencephaly, and intractable seizures.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus and hypothalamic hypopituitarism due to a Rathke's cleft cyst.

This case study describes a severe instance of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome induced by gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, exacerbated by combined use of betamethasone and anabolic steroids, in an HIV-positive patient on cobicistat-containing therapy.

In this case report, a 36-year-old woman was diagnosed with iatrogenic Cushing Syndrome caused by topical steroid use, leading to skin ulcers, diabetes, and anemia. Her condition improved after discontinuing the steroids and receiving appropriate treatment.

This review of DAVID syndrome cases found that ACTH deficiency often preceded by sinus infections or alopecia is linked to specific NFKB2 gene mutations, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to prevent complications.

This case report describes a woman with HIV who developed iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency due to the interaction between fluticasone and ritonavir, highlighting the need for careful management of corticosteroid use in patients on protease inhibitors.

This case report details a 26-year-old woman with a rare large functional adrenal myelolipoma, characterized by elevated hormone levels and requiring surgical intervention.

This case study reports an Asian female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting atypically with polymenorrhagia, who showed improvement with oral dexamethasone, despite no change in hirsutism or clitoromegaly.

This study found that corticotropin-releasing factor influences cytokine expression related to hair growth in human dermal papilla cells and suggests CRF receptor antagonists could be potential treatments for stress-induced hair loss.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This theoretical review analyzes how stress affects hair loss through hormonal and neural pathways, indicating that knowledgeable hairdressers could help in early detection and guide clients toward medical interventions, highlighting a potential collaboration between aesthetic care and medical treatment for stress-induced alopecia.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.

This case report highlighted a rare instance of Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer, demonstrating diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high risks of morbidity and mortality, with less than 10 cases documented overall.

This review examines the hormonal causes of hair loss, noting how androgen excess can lead to follicle miniaturization and linking estrogen deficiency and thyroid dysfunction to common alopecia types. It further discusses hormonal treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

In this study, stress hormone CRF was found to inhibit hair growth, suggesting that the HPA axis is functional in human dermal papilla cells and contributes to hair loss under stress conditions.

This case report describes a 65-year-old woman with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency who developed panhypopituitarism, including late-onset secondary hypoadrenocorticism, affecting her respiratory and renal function.

This study showed that the stress hormone CRF inhibits hair growth and induces hair loss by affecting both the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle function.

This review discusses the role of the CRH–ACTH–cortisol axis in skin function and its potential link to stress-related skin and hair conditions, and reports no new experimental results.

This study reports a case of a woman with Cushing's disease whose initial complaint was hair loss, a rare presenting symptom, despite multiple dermatological signs like easy bruising and violaceous striae being more indicative of the condition.

This article discusses the complexities of diagnosing pituitary dependent hyperadrenocorticism in dogs and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting issues with varied symptoms and episodic hormone secretion complicating diagnosis.

This article presents a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and myelolipoma in a 56-year-old woman, describing her symptoms and characteristics without offering new clinical results.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

This study observed that the development of the pars intermedia in long-tailed macaques is closely associated with changes in skin pigmentation during pre- and postnatal periods through melanocyte-stimulating hormone and ACTH activity.
