This study investigated the gene Col19a1, finding its expression is specific to certain cells during hair follicle development in mice, suggesting its potential role in hair follicle morphogenesis.

This study observed that heavy draft horses with verrucous pastern dermatitis showed significantly increased expression of keratins K6 and K16, suggesting a phylogenetically conserved keratin expression pattern in response to skin inflammation and proliferation.

This study found no significant difference in burn healing between rats treated with carboxytherapy and a control group.

This review discusses various treatment options for hidradenitis suppurativa based on disease severity but reports no new clinical findings.

This review highlights current evidence showing that hormonal changes significantly influence skin aging, with estrogen decline during menopause having a major impact on women's skin health, while testosterone decreases contribute to aging in men.

In this case report, researchers described a postmenopausal woman with virilization symptoms who was diagnosed with a Leydig cell tumor in her ovary, and symptoms improved following tumor removal. The authors highlighted the diagnostic challenge of differentiating such cases from age-related hormonal changes.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing PCOS and its symptoms in transmen, suggesting hormonal fluctuations may lead to symptomatic relief with low dose estradiol.

In this case study, biotin supplementation was reported to interfere with free testosterone assay results, leading to falsely low readings in a postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism.

This report discusses the challenges of interpreting bone mineral density in transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy and highlights the lack of guidelines for assessing fracture risk or BMD results in this population.

This study reported that platelet-rich plasma injections led to improvement in hair growth for patients with androgenic alopecia, with better results seen in women compared to men.

This study reports that using stamps to mark scalp incisions with gentian violet ink and a barrier film improved incision symmetry and maintained slot visibility for hair graft insertion in the frontal region.

This study found that the incidence of hyperkalemia is low among transgender, gender nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming individuals, particularly those under 45, but increases with age.

This study found that testosterone more accurately predicts PCOS diagnosis than 11-oxyandrogens, which were linked with hirsutism severity and showed varying responses to contraceptive and metformin treatments.

This study in Basra province sheep reported that zinc and copper deficiencies were linked to various clinical signs and affected oxidative stress and antioxidant levels.

This study identified several rare genetic variants related to insulin resistance in women with PCOS, highlighting the potential for monogenic conditions in patients with extreme or atypical phenotypes.

In this case report, researchers observed that the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab may worsen hypothyroidism in patients, as seen in a 60-year-old woman with metastatic duodenal carcinoma. The authors suggest that thyroid function should be monitored when using VEGF inhibitor therapies due to potential adverse effects.

This case presentation reported worsening hyperglycemia in a diabetic male patient after starting finasteride, suggesting that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may induce hyperglycemia through insulin resistance and liver disturbances in some individuals.

In this case report, researchers highlight a 57-year-old HIV patient on ritonavir who developed Cushing’s syndrome from over-the-counter intranasal fluticasone, underscoring the risks of drug interactions and the importance of counseling patients about potential steroid ingredients in OTC products.

In this study, researchers found that transgender men exhibited impaired autonomic modulation during sympathetic stimulation compared to cisgender women, potentially due to testosterone treatment affecting cardiac autonomic modulation.

This study found that US adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia most preferred a hypothetical adjunctive therapy that prevents glucocorticoid-induced weight gain over other potential benefits.

This paper reviews current and developing treatments for severe alopecia areata but reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the need for standardized treatment protocols.

Men have worse COVID-19 outcomes than women due to genetic and hormonal differences.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with microsatellite stable adrenocortical carcinoma who showed a promising 36-month response to pembrolizumab, including structural and biochemical improvements, with primary adrenal insufficiency as a major side effect.

This case series highlights the risk of iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency among immigrant patients using over-the-counter medications from other countries, which often contain hidden glucocorticoids marketed as vitamins, prompting clinicians to perform thorough medication histories for accurate diagnosis and management.

This case report illustrates a rare instance of mixed germ cell tumor in the pituitary with hyperandrogenism, emphasizing the importance of thorough examination and hormone evaluation in identifying hormonal dysfunctions.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with a Rathke’s cleft cyst presenting with Cushing disease, highlighting the need to evaluate hormonal hypersecretion in atypical pituitary lesions.

In this case report, an 80-year-old woman experienced elevated alkaline phosphatase levels due to the use of Viviscal hair supplements. Her levels returned to normal after discontinuing the supplement, highlighting the need for clinicians to consider supplements as potential causes of abnormal lab results.

This case report documented the management of a 46-year-old female with Marine-Lenhart syndrome, combining antithyroids with minimally invasive sclerotherapy to achieve euthyroidism and reduce thyroid nodule size by 58%.

This case study reported that a 40-year-old woman with Graves' disease developed severe thrombocytopenia after starting methimazole, suggesting a rare but serious risk of methimazole-induced immune thrombocytopenia and underscoring the need for close monitoring.
