This study highlights the complexity of diagnosing scalp fungal infections, emphasizing how clinical evaluation, trichoscopy, and cultural samples are essential in distinguishing tinea capitis from similar conditions like piedra, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis, due to overlapping symptoms like scaling and hair changes.

This study outlines a multidisciplinary approach to investigate primary amenorrhea, emphasizing the necessity to consider medical history, physical examination, and potential hormonal or anatomical causes, and recommends early referral in cases of chromosomal abnormalities or persistent amenorrhea following the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

This study found that tildacerfont treatment in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia reduced androgen levels and improved markers of testicular function, suggesting potential benefits for male reproductive health.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study reported that hair microscopy can help diagnose rare pediatric neurological diseases, as specific hair characteristics were linked to conditions like giant axonal neuropathy, Griscelli syndrome, and Menkes disease.

This case study suggests that long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency, warranting further investigation.

This study highlights that stress-induced activation of the HPA axis in human hair follicles can lead to hair growth arrest, but variability in follicle response complicates potential therapeutic approaches.

This review discusses the role of neuroactive steroids in physiological processes and their potential involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders, but it reports no new experimental findings.

This study observed that pregnant women experienced an increase in hair cortisol concentrations, with primiparae having significantly higher levels in the last trimester compared to multiparae.

This review discusses the pathogenesis of hypothyroidism related to stress and examines potential Ayurvedic treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study reported that mice with more diverse gut microbiota showed higher hair levels of certain hormones and 1-AG compared to those with less diverse microbiota, though plasma differences were more complex and varied by stress and sex.

In this study, researchers identified CENPV as a new CYLD interacting partner that localizes to primary cilia and regulates acetylated tubulin levels, offering insights into the pathogenesis of skin appendage tumors.

This study reported that analyzing hair cortisol levels using a validated online SPE LC-MS method provided a way to assess long-term hormone secretion in 114 healthy volunteers, with a median hair cortisol value of 4.76 pg/mg.

This study found that adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa had lower hair cortisol concentrations compared to healthy and psychiatric controls.

This study found that basal serum cortisol levels are not significantly related to the form or duration of vitiligo in patients, suggesting their inadequacy in diagnosing subclinical adrenal insufficiency.

This study found that blocking neurosteroid synthesis in the brain of pregnant sheep elevated HPA axis activity, suggesting neurosteroids play a vital role in moderating stress response.

This study found that inhibiting 5αR1 with dutasteride leads to peripheral insulin resistance and increased body fat in men, which may have implications for its use in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study observed fluctuations in hair cortisol levels in rabbits, indicating their HPA axis activity responded similarly to surgical and environmental stressors, suggesting potential anthropomorphic evaluations of stress.

This research letter observed that patients with severe atopic dermatitis showed normal serum cortisol levels after hospitalization despite continued use of potent topical corticosteroids, though poor adherence may lead to overestimations of actual medication use.

This paper describes the hGRα gene structure and its expression, focusing on the functional properties of the longest GRα isoform, but reports no new results.

This study suggests that human scalp hair follicles express erythropoietin and its receptor, up-regulating receptor expression under hypoxic conditions, and may mimic another hypothalamus–pituitary axis equivalent involving the TRH-TSH system.

This study suggests genetic and clinical heterogeneity in keratosis pilaris atrophicans, with variations in inheritance patterns, severity, and response to treatment among 21 individuals observed.

This study developed and validated a method using hair samples to simultaneously detect bisphenols and parabens, enabling the quantification of these endocrine disruptors in a hospital population’s hair.

This review discusses genetic mutations associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the importance of cardiovascular monitoring in management.

This review discusses the role of lncRNA Xist in cell growth regulation and disease development, particularly cancer, and reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses how dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) may exert its biological effects through multiple receptors and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of corticotropin-releasing hormone in human skin, focusing on its regulation, receptors, and functions, and highlights parallels with the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; it reports no new research findings.

This study provides evidence that psychoemotional stress inhibits hair growth in mice by affecting the brain-hair follicle axis, with specific neuropeptides and treatments modulating this effect.

This study found that normal human epidermis expresses TSH and may be an indirect target of TSH signaling, with expression regulated by endocrine controls of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis.

This review discusses the role of stress mediators in skin diseases and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest further research in skin psychoneuroimmunology.
