This case report describes a 39-year-old woman whose dermatomyositis-systemic lupus erythematosus overlap syndrome symptoms resolved after switching to tofacitinib.

This review summarizes recent research on the molecular properties and functions of L-PGDS and PGD2, but reports no new findings, highlighting their pathophysiological roles and guiding future studies.

This review discusses the enzyme levels involved in dihydrotestosterone formation in androgenetic alopecia patients and reports no new results; the authors suggest these differences may lead to better treatments for men and women.

This study identified a heterozygous de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene causing a new disorder characterized by overgrowth and developmental delay, and suggests that DFMO treatment may help manage elevated ODC activity and putrescine levels.

This study found that melatonin, when administered to Wistar rats prior to and after radiation exposure, reduced oxidative stress markers and histopathological damage in skin tissue compared to radiation alone, suggesting it may effectively prevent and treat radiation-induced skin injury.

This study observed that the active metabolite minoxidil sulfate promotes vascular relaxation by enhancing potassium permeability, which may inform understanding of minoxidil's antihypertensive and hair growth effects.

This study demonstrated that biochemical analysis of proteins from fetal skin biopsies is feasible, potentially enhancing prenatal diagnostic capabilities for protein-related disorders.

This study concluded that among men with normal testosterone levels, a small increase in serum dihydrotestosterone may reduce symptoms of hypogonadism, suggesting its potential diagnostic use after ruling out hypogonadism.

This study reports that adding androgen deprivation therapy to salvage radiation therapy for patients with non-metastatic biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy improves progression-free survival, particularly in those with higher post-prostatectomy PSA levels.

This study in a rat model found that dietary rehabilitation with a high protein diet reversed symptoms of kwashiorkor, suggesting a role for free radicals in its development.

This review compiles existing research on ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) as a biomarker for myocardial ischemia, highlighting current gaps in understanding its formation and detection, with no new clinical results reported.

This study found that high-dose pterostilbene potentially reduced prostate hyperplasia and had strong antioxidant effects in male rats with benign prostatic hyperplasia, suggesting it might be more effective than vitamin C and resveratrol in similar contexts.

In this study, biochemical and clinical hyperandrogenism in PCOS were found to be distinct entities with no strong androgen correlation to clinical symptoms like acne or hirsutism.

In this study, the brown skin of guinea pigs exhibited higher levels of certain biochemical markers related to melanogenesis compared to black and white skin, with distinct differences in ascorbic acid utilization and protein concentrations observed between regions.

This study found that severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was related to other clinical signs of hyperandrogenism like hirsutism and acne, but not to biochemical measures of hyperandrogenism.

In this case-control study, individuals with alopecia areata showed significantly elevated levels of inflammatory markers IL-4, IFN-γ, and CRP, as well as reduced serum Folate and Ferritin, suggesting the condition's multifactorial pathophysiology involves immune activation, systemic inflammation, and micronutrient deficiencies.

In this study of women aged 18-45 from an endocrine referral group, researchers found that while clinical hirsutism severity is independently associated with biochemical hyperandrogenism, the relationship is modest and suggests different biological aspects are at play.

In this study, researchers explored the hormonal and biochemical factors linked to alopecia in women, highlighting how various factors such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and stress may influence hair loss patterns, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach in trichological practice.

In this study, the researchers reported that both dandelion and safflower extracts protected against liver and kidney damage caused by thioacetamide in rats, with safflower being more effective than both silymarin and dandelion.

This study found that women with familial hirsutism in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, exhibited elevated androgen levels and insulin resistance compared to controls, suggesting a significant hereditary and hormonal basis for the condition.

This study found that the uric acid to creatinine ratio had excellent diagnostic ability for polycystic ovary syndrome, with significant associations to metabolic and hematologic changes in PCOS patients.

This study explored biochemical biomarkers in post-COVID-19 patients experiencing acute telogen effluvium, finding sex differences in blood characteristics and varying D-dimer levels by age, with elevated D-dimer showing correlations with inflammation markers.

This study demonstrated that prolonged use of commercial hair dyes caused significant increases in liver enzymes and bilirubin levels, and evident cellular injury in the skin and liver tissues of Albino rats, indicating potential toxicity.

This review discusses advancements in hair transplantation techniques and treatments for androgenic alopecia, highlighting the role of finasteride, minoxidil, and emerging stem cell research, but reports no clinical results.

This study reported a case where individualized homeopathic treatment notably reduced hair fall and promoted hair regrowth over nine months in a 40-year-old man with androgenic alopecia, while also improving his confidence and body image.

In this study, females with 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency exhibited decreased body hair, normal sebum production, and delayed menarche, suggesting a role for DHT in hair growth and menstrual function.

Hair follicles have unique proteins that vary by species and are influenced by nutrition.

This study found that women with PCOS and factors like primary infertility, familial history of type 2 diabetes, and specific lipid profiles tend to have less favorable fertility treatment outcomes.

In this study of White cashmere goat ewes and their offspring in Tibet, selenium and vitamin E supplementation improved antioxidant capacity and serum biochemical indices and enhanced secondary hair follicle development in lambs, but did not significantly alter fecal microbiota composition.
