This case report describes the first known instance of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell ovarian tumor causing pulmonary embolism and erythrocytosis in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its potential role as a rare cause of hypercoagulable state.

This case study describes a 21-year-old man who experienced a hemorrhagic stroke potentially linked to finasteride and minoxidil use for androgenic alopecia, emphasizing the need for thorough medication history in young stroke patients.

This review examines AAS-related deaths and finds that anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse may lead to severe cardiac abnormalities, contributing to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in young athletes and bodybuilders.

Patients with multiple superficial venous thrombosis are at greater risk for serious complications like cancer and recurrent blood clots.

This study found that, in mouse tail epidermis, stem cells rapidly activate and regenerate new progenitors to repair wounds, with mechanisms affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

This report describes two cases of stroke associated with finasteride use for male-pattern hair loss, suggesting a potential link to thrombosis due to increased estrone and estradiol levels.

In this study, hirsutism in women with PCOS was strongly associated with hyperandrogenism and metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not effective markers for hyperandrogenism.

This review outlines the major health consequences of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse, with a focus on sexual and reproductive issues, and suggests management prioritizes cessation and relapse prevention due to lack of robust randomized trials.

This review discusses how androgens may regulate wound healing and inflammation, noting that testosterone appears to inhibit healing and promote inflammation, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report suggests that dutasteride may be a potential cause of cerebral venous thrombosis, as observed in a 25-year-old male presenting with headache and diplopia that improved after discontinuing the drug.

The authors report a case of cerebral venous thrombosis induced by finasteride use without other triggering factors.

This study found that combining fructose and DHT in rats successfully mimicked the clinical phenotypes of non-lean PCOS, providing a novel rodent model for this condition.

In this study, researchers developed a new method called Enriched-GF, which enhances growth factor recovery from platelet concentrates through a combination of glass bead activation, freeze-thaw cycling, and calcium stimulation, outperforming conventional methods by providing higher and more consistent yields for regenerative medicine applications.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had increased insulin resistance compared to controls, suggesting a potential link between inflammation, stress axis activation, and insulin resistance in this population.

In this study, researchers in Baghdad observed that women with PCOS who tested positive for CagA-IgG, a marker for H. pylori infection, showed significantly elevated insulin resistance and fasting blood sugar levels, regardless of metformin treatment, compared to controls.

This review discusses the role of finasteride preoperatively in reducing bleeding and complications during TURP and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize its potential benefits based on existing studies.

The guideline provides healthcare professionals in South Africa with instructions for comprehensive, multidisciplinary gender-affirming care, including HIV prevention and treatment for transgender and gender diverse individuals.

This study reported that recombinant human hair keratins, K37 and K81, showed higher purity and enhanced fibrin clot formation compared to traditional extracts, reducing bleeding time and blood loss in rat injury models.

In this study, conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, adverse events during blood donation were observed in 0.42% of donors, predominantly affecting first-time male donors, and were mostly vasovagal reactions such as giddiness and sweating.

This study found that methanolic leaf extract of Plumbago zeylanica L. demonstrates strong thrombolytic and antioxidant activities and shows promise as a source of such agents.

This study found that the n-hexane fraction from Leea indica leaves significantly increased hair growth in mice and showed potential as a natural treatment for alopecia.

In this study, dogs diagnosed with demodicosis achieved full recovery after a single dose of fluralaner, with clinical improvement supported by negative skin scraping results by day 28, and hematobiochemical parameters normalizing over the treatment period.

In this study using rabbits, HA2 hydrogels made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid and polysaccharide promoted wound healing better than other treatments, reducing inflammation and scar formation.

This study evaluated a new composite material made from PLA, ALG, ZnS, and HT for blood-contacting applications, finding it improved surface characteristics and displayed anticoagulant properties and high biocompatibility with no genotoxic effects on blood and skin cells.

This report describes the successful treatment of multiple extrapulmonary disorders from Rhodococcus equi pneumonia in a foal, emphasizing the importance of thorough diagnosis and targeted treatment.

This study found that the hydroalcoholic extract of the Dorema aucheri plant, especially at a 5% concentration, enhanced diabetic wound healing in male rats, improving re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and neovascularization more effectively than other tested concentrations.

This study reported that newly developed quaternary ammonium chitosan/carboxymethyl starch/alginate sponges effectively inhibit bacterial growth and promote rapid hemostasis in wound management after tooth extraction in animal models, showing significant promise for clinical use in preventing complications like dry socket.

This study found that steroid hormones influence the quality indicators of fresh and cryopreserved stallion sperm, with testosterone negatively correlated with motility and estradiol positively correlated with survival rate.

This study introduces a tabletop technique demonstrating that endogenous biomagnetic fields from human hair can induce red blood cells agglutination and Rouleaux formations.

In this study, researchers investigated the effects of Aqueous Artocarpus heterophyllus seed extract on testosterone enanthate-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in adult Wistar rats, using three different dosages to assess its potential as an alternative therapy. Results are not reported in this abstract.
