Some people with chronic hair loss may have thyroid autoimmunity.

In this study, researchers found that Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients, despite being in euthyroid status, experienced more severe extrathyroidal symptoms compared to healthy controls, and elevated thyroid antibodies were linked to lower health-related quality of life and increased inflammation.

In this study, researchers found varying levels of multiple autoantibody types among thyroid disorder patients, with 84.84% of those with immunological hypothyroidism reporting symptoms like weight gain and lethargy, whereas 81.81% of those with immune hyperthyroidism experienced hair loss.

This study found that individuals with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum levels of retinol-binding protein 4 and increased IgG immunoreactivity against it, suggesting a role in the disease's pathogenesis.

Finasteride significantly reduced tics and obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients with Tourette syndrome.

In this study, alopecia areata was associated with thyroid autoimmunity but not islet autoimmunity, correlating with specific class II HLA haplotypes linked to various autoimmune diseases.

Hair loss is often linked to thyroid problems, especially in women and older people, and screening for thyroid issues is advised for those with hair loss.

This study suggests that vitamin D treatment may be less effective in reducing thyroid autoimmunity for euthyroid men with early-onset androgenic alopecia compared to other men with autoimmune thyroiditis.

This case report describes a young girl with a rare association of anti-SRP positive necrotizing autoimmune myopathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, who responded well to corticosteroid treatment.

This case report demonstrates a strong association between protein-losing enteropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, with symptoms and conditions improving with prednisolone treatment.

This case report from Tishreen Hospital describes the rare presentation of lupus erythematosus tumidus and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction as initial manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

Graves' disease can cause hair loss in children and should be considered when treating pediatric alopecia areata.

This review discusses the challenges in measuring testosterone for assessing androgen excess in women and emphasizes the importance of quality control in laboratory methods, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that anti-Ku-positive patients exhibited heterogeneous muscular features, primarily characterized by necrotizing fibers and vacuolar changes, and suggested that autophagy could be a significant mechanism involved in the pathogenesis.

This study found that late-onset alopecia areata is more common in women and tends to present with milder symptoms, with some patients achieving complete hair regrowth in mild cases.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

Thyroid disease can cause hair loss and treating thyroid problems might help with hair disorders.

This study suggests that hormonal changes may contribute to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, with specific patterns observed in serum hormone levels related to fatigue and sensory dysfunction.

This chapter reviews drugs affecting blood coagulation and details the increased hemorrhage risk associated with warfarin interactions, liver disease, heart failure, and antiphospholipid antibodies but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed that dapsone may be effective for treating pustular psoriasis, as four out of five patients showed improvement after previously failing other treatments.

This study analyzed screening data from 218 alopecia areata patients before starting Janus kinase inhibitors, revealing the importance of pre-treatment screening due to risks of infections like tuberculosis and hepatitis B, with 74.8% of patients proceeding to treatment in real-world settings.

This review discusses the uncertain role of immune factors, particularly autoantibodies, in the development of alopecia areata and emphasizes that identifying key autoantigens could lead to targeted immunotherapies.

This study found that topical clobetasol propionate cream provided a modest improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients, though those with atopy had higher relapse rates after treatment completion.

In this paper, three APS patients were followed over time, showing that the diagnosis and course of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome can evolve, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and potential re-evaluation.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher levels of several autoantibodies compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential autoimmune component to PCOS that might aid in better disease characterization and personalized management.

This case highlights the potential link between type 1 diabetes, pernicious anemia, and alopecia areata universalis, suggesting clinicians should monitor for pernicious anemia in such patients.
