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 article reviews emerging opportunities and challenges in male reproductive medicine, including advancements and unmet needs in erectile dysfunction, androgen deficiency, and fertility, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found no general elevation in androgen levels among men predisposed to balding, despite a correlation with the free-to-total testosterone ratio; no link was observed with acne.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

Glycerin in hand cream can cause allergic skin reactions.

This study demonstrates that keratinocyte cell lines derived from cultured hair follicles can fully differentiate in organotypic skin models, offering a minimally invasive alternative to obtaining keratinocytes for research.

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.

Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.

The document explains various skin conditions in cats and how to diagnose and treat them.

This review summarizes recent findings on scalp involvement in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, highlighting diagnostic methods and their underlying histopathological, immunopathological, and clinical features, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with an ovarian Leydig cell tumor leading to elevated testosterone levels and hirsutism, highlighting the need to consider androgen-secreting tumors in similar postmenopausal cases.

This review summarizes how common polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes may influence aging-related symptoms and diseases in men, but it reports no new clinical results.

A male patient developed frontal fibrosing alopecia after antiandrogen therapy for prostate cancer.

This case report presents the first evidence of significant antigen presenting cells around hair follicles in a patient with alopecia due to active systemic lupus erythematosus.

In this study, finasteride treatment for male pattern baldness improved hair loss and reduced prostate size, while increasing testosterone levels and altering steroid hormone ratios without affecting gonadotropin levels.

This study found that the novel dot-block method can effectively measure early- and advanced-glycation products in hair, suggesting its potential for monitoring diabetes progression and other chronic conditions.

In this study, saw palmetto supplements showed varied effects on cell growth in vitro and did not significantly inhibit growth in the hamster flank organ model despite a notable trend.

This case report indicates that contact dermatitis on the face can result from using a bleaching ointment containing ammonium bisulfite during hair-dyeing.

This article explores evidence for a rational strategy in the endocrine and metabolic management of patients with excess body hair or scalp loss and reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the late presentation of myotonic dystrophy but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers reported that a newly developed interferon-γ release assay for cell-mediated immunity to SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid peptides demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity, making it a robust tool for routine diagnostic tests and potentially useful in predicting clinical outcomes after pathogen re-exposure.

Finasteride may cause breast enlargement, low testosterone a risk factor.

This Mendelian randomization study reports that lifelong increased free testosterone in males was associated with improved bone mineral density and body composition but increased risks of prostate cancer, hypertension, and several other conditions.

The researchers reported that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in antioxidant enzyme activity in their offspring's epididymis, potentially affecting sperm maturation.
