This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

This study found that females with chronic diffuse hair loss, including chronic telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss, had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to controls, suggesting a strong association between decreased iron stores and hair loss.

Risankizumab effectively treats and maintains skin clearance in moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Dermatologists should know about cosmetic science and aesthetics because patients care about skin appearance and health.

In this study, mannosylerythritol lipids from soybean oil notably increased fibroblast and papilla cell viability, suggesting potential as a hair growth agent.

This review discusses the roles of platelets in hemostasis and wound repair, the preparation methods for platelet concentrates, and their therapeutic applications in medicine and dentistry, reporting no new clinical results.

This review summarizes existing literature on the safety of commonly used dermatologic medications during pregnancy but does not present new clinical findings, aiming to assist physicians with prescribing decisions.

In this retrospective case series, cats with cutaneous lymphocytosis showed a primarily reactive condition with prolonged survival, while dogs exhibited more diverse presentations and clinical outcomes, indicating a complex disease nature.

Tracking invalid extraction rates can improve hair transplant outcomes by assessing surgeon skill.

This review discusses the potential of marine-derived polysaccharide nanofibers as advanced wound dressings, highlighting their regenerative advantages in addressing inflammation, oxidative stress, and other healing barriers. However, it notes that clinical translation is limited by challenges in standardization, evidence, safety, and production scalability.

This review reports that Dang Gui (Radix Angelica sinensis) possesses bidirectional immunoregulatory effects, enhancing immune cell proliferation and function, and may benefit immune-related diseases such as cancer and anemia. It also evaluates regulatory and safety aspects, aiming to guide future research and clinical use.

This meta-analysis of animal studies found that alkaloids have potential anti-influenza and anti-inflammatory effects, correlating with improved viral titers and survival rates, though they did not effectively reduce TNF-α and IL-6 levels. Extensive further studies are needed to confirm these findings before considering clinical application.

This study analyzed changes in the microbiota during antler velvet regeneration in sika deer and found significant differences in microbial community composition between 15 and 30 days post-pedicle casting, highlighting the potential roles of specific bacteria in wound healing and tissue regeneration.

The researchers investigated the phytochemical content and pharmacological properties of Fissistigma oldhamii and found multiple compounds, primarily in roots and stems, that may contribute to the plant's traditional anti-inflammatory uses in China, including potential antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial effects.

This study identified six species of ectoparasitic insects infesting domestic goats in Bulgaria, with Linognathus stenopsis being the most prevalent across the surveyed farms.

In this study, wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana with responsive root hairs efficiently acquired phosphorus under low-phosphorus conditions compared to mutants, suggesting an adaptive advantage in nutrient-limited environments.

This review examines biological reasons for sex-based differences in COVID-19 outcomes, noting that females exhibit stronger immune responses, potentially explaining lower severity and mortality compared to males.

This study found that among men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, treatment with the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride for three months significantly reduced levels of dihydrotestosterone and estradiol, hormones involved in prostate enlargement, without altering follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone levels.

This study concluded that while sex-related biological factors may influence COVID-19 outcomes, they do not fully explain the differences in mortality between women and men, underscoring the need for a gendered, intersectional approach to understanding health inequities and risk factors.

This study found diverse and distinct microbial communities in dry and wet habitats of Duku plants, with varying relative abundances linked to plant health and soil nutrient interactions.

This analysis found that females have a higher lifetime risk of alopecia areata across various regions and time periods, with increased risk associated with higher socio-demographic index levels.

This animal study observed that dihydrotestosterone increased arterial stiffness and decreased estrogen receptor expression in female mice, potentially impacting cardiovascular health in contexts of androgen use.

This study found that male volunteers with baldness had significantly decreased levels of gonadotropin hormones LH and FSH compared to healthy men, suggesting potential treatment targets for androgenetic alopecia.

This study observed a significant decrease in gonadotropins (LH and FSH) among men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting their potential role as treatment targets for male baldness.

This review examines nutrient-responsive dermatoses in companion animals and reports no new results, highlighting that improved diet quality can enhance skin and hair coat health.

This study examines hair loss rates during pregnancy and lactation, suggesting a connection between hair loss and unmet daily nutritional requirements.

This study suggests a link between hair loss experienced during pregnancy and lactation and inadequate daily intake of certain nutrients.

This study reported that acute thallium poisoning, investigated through three forensic cases involving both intentional and accidental overdoses, resulted in severe symptoms including neurological damage, multiple organ failure, alopecia, and, in two cases, death, emphasizing the extreme toxicity of thallium compounds.
