This study found that Geranium Sibiricum L extract may promote hair growth by increasing cell proliferation and migration while modulating cytokine expression in human dermal papilla cells under stress conditions.

Intramuscular triamcinolone and pulse therapy with oral predonine are effective for alopecia areata with manageable side effects, but better relapse prevention is needed.

In this study, cedrol was found to reduce lipid accumulation in the liver and adipose tissues of dexamethasone-treated mice by antagonizing glucocorticoid receptors, suggesting its potential utility in treating dexamethasone-induced lipid metabolism disorders.

This study developed a novel ferritin-based delivery system (LR@Fn) that effectively co-delivers RG108 and LLY283 for hearing loss treatment in animal models, reducing hair cell loss and synaptic damage more effectively than dexamethasone.

This case report highlights a 17-year-old female with Kartagener's syndrome and ectodermal anomalies, such as alopecia and dental issues, suggesting a possible novel syndromic variant, with genetic testing recommended to distinguish it from a dual diagnosis.

This study reviewed evidence suggesting that systemic corticosteroids, particularly in pulse regimens like dexamethasone and betamethasone oral mini-pulse, effectively slow vitiligo progression and support repigmentation, while offering a favorable safety profile compared to continuous therapy.

In a mice model of atopic dermatitis, this study reported that a formulated cromolyn sodium oleate gel significantly reduced scab size and provided better healing than dexamethasone, with fewer adverse effects.

This study found that therapy significantly reduced serum IgM levels in dogs with severe dermatitis, but not in those with mild dermatitis, highlighting the effect of treatment on immune response in severe cases.

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 observed that tannic acid significantly reduced hair shedding by 56.2% over seven days in human participants when used as a coating for controlled release of active compounds to hair follicles.

This case study details the successful treatment of macrophage activation syndrome with dexamethasone and cyclosporine in a 36-year-old woman with adult-onset Still's disease, highlighting the critical importance of timely aggressive treatment.

In this prospective study of 135 women with hirsutism, researchers reported that treatment approaches varied, with oral contraceptives, dexamethasone, and metformin widely used, and emphasized a holistic approach including lifestyle changes and mental health support to effectively manage the condition.

This case report highlights that insulin resistance in PCOS can occur even in underweight patients, as demonstrated by a 24-year-old woman who improved her menstrual cycle, acne, and hirsutism with metformin and dexamethasone over 6 months.

This case report details a postmenopausal woman whose hyperandrogenism was attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia, ultimately resolved with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

This case report highlights that in severe illnesses like sepsis, myxedema coma can occur with less elevated TSH levels than typical for primary hypothyroidism, likely due to inflammatory cytokines affecting TSH secretion, even when central lesions are absent.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with alopecia totalis initially treated with minoxidil experienced hypertrichosis, which reversed upon stopping the medication; hair regrowth on the scalp was achieved with tofacitinib after minoxidil discontinuation.

This report describes a complex case of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism with virilization and concurrent rare ovarian tumors, highlighting the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in diagnosing and managing such challenging scenarios.

This study found that OR-101, a selective JAK3/TEK inhibitor, was associated with dose-dependent improvements in hair growth in humanized mice with alopecia areata, suggesting its potential as a treatment option.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This case report describes a 45-year-old Malian woman with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, highlighting its uncommon occurrence among individuals of African descent and detailing her treatment with prednisone and other adjunct therapies.

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.

In this study, recombinant type III collagen was found to promote fibroblast proliferation and migration, suggesting potential anti-aging and repairing effects, although it was only effective in significantly inhibiting IL-6, not TNF-α, secretion.

The authors concluded that while increased androgens in men may link androgenetic alopecia with severe COVID-19, further research on a larger population is needed to verify this association.

This case report suggests that genetic evaluation for glucocorticoid resistance, such as the NR3C1 gene variant, is crucial for proper diagnosis and management of patients showing atypical signs of hypercortisolism.

This case report details a patient with myasthenia gravis and a malignant thymoma whose rising liver function tests, initially thought to be related to antibiotic use, were ultimately attributed to thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity.

This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this literature review, researchers compiled evidence on repurposed synthetic radioprotective agents, including metformin and simvastatin, that have demonstrated potential in mitigating the side effects of radiotherapy in cancer treatment.

In this case report, a 13-year-old girl with pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus experienced rare ischemic vaso-occlusive retinopathy as a first symptom, and early interventions improved her visual acuity and fever but did not fully restore vision.

This study reported that an anti-hair loss shampoo containing six active ingredients activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells in vitro.

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.
