This study observed that SARS-CoV-2 shedding significantly decreased after remdesivir treatment, irrespective of RT-PCR cycle threshold values, suggesting early de-isolation might be possible in severe COVID-19 cases.

This study found that lambertianic acid from Platycladus orientalis leaves may protect against dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by reducing atrophy-related proteins without affecting cell viability.

This review outlines various dermatologic adverse events associated with targeted therapies and immunotherapies, emphasizing the need for collaboration between dermatologists and oncologists to manage these effects effectively; it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, different types of catagen in the C57BL/6 mouse model exhibited varying effects on hair follicle melanocytes and melanin distribution, with spontaneous and dexamethasone-induced catagen showing pigment incontinence, while cyclophosphamide-induced catagen retained dendritic melanocytes but increased ectopic melanin.

This study found that combining flutamide with an oral contraceptive significantly reduced hirsutism, acne, and seborrhea in patients after seven months, without significant side effects.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for non-classic congenital hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, and provides evidence-based recommendations for its treatment and genetic counseling.

In this study, a novel mutation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene was identified in a young woman, impairing glucocorticoid signaling and leading to generalized glucocorticoid resistance.

This study found that homozygous mutant mice with a hypomorphic CD18 mutation developed a chronic inflammatory skin disease resembling human psoriasis, potentially implicating additional genetic factors in disease susceptibility.

In this study, administering dexamethasone rapidly normalized elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.

This study concluded that a 26-year-old woman had autosomal dominantly inherited hereditary cortisol insensitivity, leading to increased adrenocortical cortisol and androgen secretion, which caused clinical symptoms unlike in her male relatives.

This study found that cyproterone acetate, given with ethinyl oestradiol, significantly reduced hirsutism in women after 12 months, although improvements reversed once cyproterone acetate was stopped.

This study identified altered expression of MMP-19 in the skin's epidermal layers during diseases like psoriasis and eczema, implying a role in disease processes.

This review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.

This report suggests that clinically inapparent sweat gland tumors might influence hair loss in a specific patient case.

This study found that low doses of leuprolide effectively suppressed serum estradiol and LH response, while higher doses were needed to suppress testosterone and reduce hair growth in hirsute women.

This study found that substance P may be involved in the pathogenesis of acne by increasing the expression of certain cytokines and receptors in cultured sebocytes.

In this study, ectoderm-targeted transgenic mice with glucocorticoid receptor overexpression exhibited multiple epithelial defects, suggesting the role of NF-kappaB and p63 dysfunction in ectodermal dysplasia syndromes.

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.

This study found that anionic HSES achieved high complexation efficiencies with various steroids, significantly enhancing their solubility, while specific β-cyclodextrin thioethers showed selective binding to testosterone and estradiol.

This study found that dexamethasone-loaded Eudragit® L 100 nanoparticles displayed controlled drug release depending on pH levels, with minimal toxicity to human fibroblasts.

This study reports that once neoplastic causes are excluded, functional hirsutism can be effectively treated with low-dose dexamethasone, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone.

This article discusses various causes of hyperandrogenism in women and highlights diagnostic considerations for conditions such as PCOS, NCCAH, Cushing's disease, and androgen-secreting tumors, without reporting new clinical results.

This review highlights that while dexamethasone may reduce mortality in severe COVID-19, no other drugs have proven effectiveness for treatment, emphasizing the need for clinical trials of existing medications.

This report examines efforts to enhance the efficacy of topical steroids for alopecia areata using penetration-enhancing vehicles and exceptionally high concentrations, noting systemic steroids often lead to relapses and toxicity.

This review discusses hormonal influences and treatment considerations in female acne, particularly highlighting the role of androgens in persistent or resistant cases, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses factors affecting fertility in both men and women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes individualized preconception management but reports no new clinical results.

This case study diagnosed a cat with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, confirmed by specific hormonal tests and post-mortem findings of adrenal hyperplasia and a pituitary adenoma.

This study found that combining topical and oral pulse corticosteroid therapy for severe alopecia areata in children led to long-lasting hair regrowth, especially in AA plurifocalis, with no serious side effects reported.

This study found that dexamethasone treatment reduced cell viability and growth factor expression in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting it inhibits hair growth.
