This case report uncovered that hidden dexamethasone in a dietary supplement caused misleading Cushingoid symptoms and lab results, underscoring the risk of undisclosed ingredients in supplements.

This study found that hair cortisol concentrations in rhesus macaques were not significantly correlated with hair growth rate, suggesting that cortisol-mediated inhibition of hair growth does not explain higher cortisol levels within the non-stress range.

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.

In this study, a literature review found that corticosteroids were effective and safe for treating Alopecia Areata by stimulating hair follicles and extending the anagen phase, based on data from 2010 to 2022.

This study found that recombinant type III collagen may aid skin aging management by promoting fibroblast proliferation and migration, with a modest impact on inflammatory marker IL-6, though it did not significantly affect TNF-a secretion in vitro.

In this study, three pediatric patients with alopecia areata and high levels of certain viral antibodies experienced excellent outcomes following treatment with a combination of corticosteroids, minoxidil, inosine pranobex, valacyclovir, and light-emitting diode therapy.

In this study, pair housing of rhesus macaques after intrafacility transfer reduced some undesirable behaviors and diarrhea compared to single housing, although no cortisol level differences were observed.

This case study reports a rare instance of a virilizing androgen-only secreting adrenal cortical adenoma in a 13-year-old, with symptom resolution after surgical removal.

This report details a 6-year-old girl with adrenocortical cancer presenting with voice changes, weight gain, and excessive hair growth, successfully treated with surgery and medication, with symptoms resolved after 6 months.

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.

High-dose corticosteroids can significantly regrow hair in severe alopecia areata.

In this study on patchy alopecia areata treatment involving 20 patients, TCA (triamcinolone acetonide) injections showed a significantly better response and minimal side effects compared to superficial cryotherapy.

This study found that in mice, chronic stress elevates corticosterone levels, which suppresses hair growth by keeping hair follicles in a prolonged resting phase.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

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 study found that intradermal minoxidil 5% alone and with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide significantly reduced alopecia areata dermoscopic findings, while standard intralesional corticosteroids remain the main first-line treatment for patchy alopecia with less than 50% scalp involvement.

This study suggests that individuals with severe sickle cell disease, indicated by higher hemoglobin S and ferritin levels, may have lower cortisol levels as shown by reduced hair cortisol content.

This study demonstrated that cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone are preserved in archaeological human hair, allowing for the analysis of ancient stress and reproductive hormone patterns.

This case report describes a young woman with an adrenal oncocytic tumor of uncertain malignant potential, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance due to possible malignancy.

This study found that a hair growth rate of 0.75 cm/month better matches retrospective cortisol timelines and identified factors influencing hair cortisol content in children and adolescents.

This study found a weak negative correlation between inhaled corticosteroid dose and hair cortisol levels in children with asthma, suggesting that hair cortisol measurement may reflect adrenal function in these children.

This study found significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in black children compared to white children aged 1-4 years, suggesting racial differences in cumulative stress as measured by hair cortisol.

This study found low concordance between distal and proximal hair cortisol concentrations during early pregnancy, particularly when measured with different assay methods.

Hair cortisol measurement is a promising, non-invasive tool for monitoring cortisol exposure over time.

This study investigates the potential role of the corticotropin-releasing hormone system in the pathogenesis of lichen planus but does not report new clinical results, emphasizing the need for further exploration.

Proximal hair cortisol is a reliable tool for diagnosing Cushing's Syndrome.

Incorrect injection of corticosteroids for alopecia areata can cause skin problems.

This study established a stable cell line for CRF1 receptor screening, which can be used to develop functional cosmetics and modulators potentially affecting hair re-growth.

This study presents an algorithm that may help physicians diagnose female hair loss by synthesizing patient history, clinical examination, and various diagnostic tests.
