This study found that Korean patients with androgenetic alopecia had higher rates of cardiovascular diseases and related risk factors than those without the condition, with variations by severity and type of hair loss.

This review examines existing plastic surgery techniques for gender affirmation of the lower extremities, noting a lack of outcomes-based literature needed to establish best practices.

This review found that hair antiretroviral concentration may be associated with several factors, including hair type and genetic factors, but not with race/ethnicity or alcohol use.

This study found that children with celiac disease who adhered to a gluten-free diet experienced significant improvements in height, weight, and symptoms like diarrhea and abdominal pain, although cases of abdominal distention increased.

This study found that examining hair morphology provides deeper insights than classification, suggesting a potential population stratification artefact between hair curvature and cross-sectional shapes in the examined admixed African-European sample.

This study introduced a new high-throughput method for analyzing scalp hair morphology and found that quantifying hair form provides more accurate information than traditional classification based on racial categories, challenging the belief that cross-sectional morphology predicts hair curvature.

In this study, men with androgenetic alopecia had lower BMI and waist-to-hip ratios than controls, but no significant association with hypertension or other lifestyle factors was observed.

This study found that stress plays a significant role in altering phenotypic features and body composition among PCOS patients, potentially worsening due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this study, the average force required to pluck hair was significantly lower in malnourished adults, especially those with kwashiorkor, compared to well-nourished individuals.

This study found that osteoporosis is common among Sudanese postmenopausal women, who also showed an increased risk for cardiovascular disease, emphasizing the need for enhanced public health education and preventive measures.

In this study, researchers found that serum dihydrotestosterone levels were significantly lower in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes compared to healthy controls, with 90% of diabetics displaying subnormal levels.

This study found significant gender-based differences in forehead dimensions among 297 participants, with males showing larger vertical measurements, which could inform applications in forensic identification, cosmetic surgery, and anthropological research.

This study found that women with PCOS had higher body fat and worse insulin resistance than non-PCOS women, with body composition influencing metabolic profiles independently of PCOS status.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had a lower heart rate compared to healthy controls and showed disease-severity-related changes in body composition, though the clinical importance of these findings is still unclear.

This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.

In this study of infertile Indonesian women with PCOS, researchers found no correlation between hirsutism, body measurements, and sexual dysfunction scores, but noted that hirsutism may be linked to higher anxiety levels.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, patients with polycystic ovary syndrome self-reported higher hirsutism scores compared to clinician assessments, but only clinician scores correlated with biochemical markers of hyperandrogenism.

This study found that health coaching significantly improved waist circumference, physical activity, and lifestyle in infertile women with PCOS undergoing fertility treatments, although no significant difference was observed in weight change compared to routine care.

This study observed that a health coaching intervention for infertile women with PCOS significantly reduced waist circumference, increased physical activity, and improved lifestyle, although it did not significantly change BMI compared to routine care.

This study assessed the nutritional status of emerging adult women with PCOS and found that while their body measurements were higher than standard, their mean biochemical parameters were within the normal range.

This study analyzed the relationship between clinical and anthropometric factors with the free androgen index to better evaluate polycystic ovarian syndrome, but results are not reported in the abstract.

This article discusses the various administration methods and considerations for testosterone replacement therapy, highlighting the importance of individualized therapeutic monitoring and potential adverse effects, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers developed an LC-MS/MS method to accurately quantify cortisone and cortisol levels in human scalp hair, finding that concentrations decrease predictably along the hair shaft, which could assist in identifying abnormal glucocorticoid exposure.

This study found no significant laboratory differences between Caucasian adults with non-cicatricial alopecia and healthy controls, but reported that affected individuals were significantly younger, suggesting that lifestyle and diet might contribute to early hair loss risk.

This study found that spinach-derived thylakoid supplementation, combined with a calorie-restricted diet, led to more significant improvements in weight loss and insulin sensitivity in obese women with PCOS than calorie restriction alone.

This review discusses various weight loss treatment options for managing PCOS in women, including lifestyle changes, diet, medications, and surgery, but reports no new clinical results.
