Lower family income is linked to more stress in parents and more behavior problems in children.

Hair cortisol concentration partly reflects HPA axis regulation but doesn't capture all its complexities.

In this study, researchers observed that loneliness was positively linked to higher hair cortisol levels among African American men but not women, suggesting a potential sex-specific association between loneliness and stress-related physiological pathways.

This study observed significant differences in skin fungal communities between healthy and alopecic cynomolgus macaques, suggesting certain microorganisms may be associated with alopecia in these primates.

In this study, researchers found distinct gene expression patterns in Standardbred trotters capable of racing barefoot, suggesting a genetic basis for hoof strength and identifying specific genes involved in hoof biology, which could enhance equine performance and wellbeing through targeted genetic research.

Discrimination during pregnancy affects newborn stress hormone levels.

This review discusses the potential and limitations of using hair cortisol as a measure of chronic stress, noting that its effectiveness depends on recognizing patterns rather than absolute cortisol levels.

This review observed limited evidence of clinically significant benefits from treatments for acute central serous chorioretinopathy, which often resolves spontaneously, but identified PDT and micropulse laser as the most promising for further trials.

This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This study using high-performance liquid chromatography reported that mice with more diverse gut microbiota had higher levels of specific compounds in hair compared to those with less diversity, with stress affecting certain plasma levels.

This study analyzed 19 articles and found that vitamin D significantly improved the hormonal profile in women with PCOS, with greater effects observed after 8-week interventions compared to 12-week ones.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing different causes of adult androgen excess and outlines current screening and management strategies but reports no new findings.

This study found that individuals with androgenetic alopecia experience significantly higher symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress compared to controls, along with reduced self-esteem and life satisfaction, highlighting the importance of addressing psychological well-being in clinical treatments.

This study assessed the combination of compound glycyrrhizin and conventional treatments for alopecia areata and found it effective for promoting hair regrowth while being safe with mild adverse effects, based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

This case report describes a pregnant woman diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome, likely due to an adrenal tumor, whose condition worsened during hospitalization, resulting in heart failure, sepsis, and shock.

This study shows that Covid-19 infection significantly impacts the emergence of new-onset hair diseases, with a notable association reported between having Covid-19 and developing hair issues.

This study found that while 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride had many serious, unresolved adverse drug reactions, some were not listed in the existing product information.

This study found that various dietary supplements positively impacted hair density and were well-tolerated among patients with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting they may be useful adjuncts or alternatives to standard treatments.

This study found that older steers had higher hair cortisol concentrations compared to younger steers, suggesting age affects chronic stress biomarkers in beef cattle.

This study explored how excessive sugar consumption detrimentally affects skin health by promoting processes like glycation and inflammation, concluding that a low-glycemic index diet could help prevent and manage skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis.

The researchers reported that certain physical characteristics of hair shafts, such as length and color, may influence mtDNA read counts and degradation state when analyzed by massively parallel sequencing.

This review discusses the applications and potential of Bioengineered Artificial Skin Substitutes in cosmetics and pharmacology research, with no new clinical findings reported.

This study examined postmenopausal hyperandrogenism related to ovarian disease and found that specific biochemical markers can help differentiate between tumorous and non-tumorous cases, with a good level of sensitivity and specificity, supporting surgical intervention for resolution.

This study found that LC-MS/MS assays provided more reliable and precise steroid measurements in human serum compared to traditional immunoassays, particularly at lower concentrations.

This study found that measuring certain steroids in hair can help diagnose and monitor congenital adrenal hyperplasia in Indonesian patients, offering a simple noninvasive method for developing countries.

This study found that piglets' rapid growth during nursery and lactation was linked to changes in microbiota composition and increased cortisol conversion, highlighting critical early life factors influencing adult microbiota establishment.
