This study found that eflornithine 15% cream reduced unwanted facial hair growth more effectively than a placebo in women with hirsutism, but hair growth returned to pretreatment levels within 8 weeks of stopping treatment.

This article reviews the effectiveness of adrenal cortex compounds E and F in treating various connective tissue disorders and reports no new clinical findings.

This study highlights that prolonged voriconazole use is linked to an increased risk of aggressive cutaneous malignancies like squamous cell carcinoma, necessitating careful monitoring of drug levels to manage adverse effects.

This paper discusses polycystic ovary syndrome with a focus on androgen excess as the primary symptom and notes that insulin resistance may contribute to it in many patients, but provides no new research findings.

This article reviews the diagnostic criteria and prevalence of PCOS, emphasizing its status as the most common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age, with no new clinical results reported.

This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment approaches for cutaneous manifestations of PCOS, reporting on various treatment options without presenting new clinical results.

This study describes the first case of female pseudohermaphroditism due to a novel homozygous glucocorticoid receptor gene mutation, indicating possible pre- and postnatal virilization in affected females.

This study reported that the prevalence of atopic dermatitis in cats was higher than previously suggested, with severe nonseasonal pruritus most common, and certain breeds were predisposed.

This study discusses the use of oral contraceptives as a treatment for hyperandrogenism, showing improvement in hirsutism and acne for many women and possibly providing metabolic benefits with certain formulations.

This article provides an updated overview of the diagnosis and management of tinea infections but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that 62% of neutered dogs with hair cycle arrest experienced partial to complete hair re-growth after melatonin treatment, but hair re-growth was not consistently linked to normal sex hormone levels.

This report describes a paraneoplastic alopecia in four cats associated with internal malignancy, confirming previous findings of a syndrome linking ventral alopecia and metastatic carcinomas.

This study found that the combination of spironolactone and finasteride significantly improved hirsutism scores more than spironolactone alone in women, with similar side-effect profiles between treatments.

This study suggests that 5α-reduced glucocorticoids may have anti-inflammatory potential and could serve as biomarkers for liver inflammation in metabolic disease, with implications for drug development.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This study suggests that combination drug therapy with spironolactone and either oral contraceptives or dexamethasone effectively manages unresponsive hirsutism, with eight of nine patients achieving satisfactory clinical responses.
