This source critically examines the limitations of using BMI to assess obesity in women, especially during reproductive, pregnancy, and postmenopausal stages, and discusses more precise alternative methods for evaluating obesity in line with sex-specific healthcare needs.

This study reports a rare case of amyloid-associated alopecia, confirmed through histologic analysis, as a scalp manifestation in a patient with primary systemic amyloidosis.

In this study, researchers developed a computational method called iEdgePathDDA that prioritizes anticancer drug candidates by analyzing changes in gene interactions, demonstrating superior performance compared to existing methods across colorectal, breast, and lung cancer datasets.

This case report describes a 69-year-old man diagnosed with stage 3 acute kidney injury secondary to new IgG kappa light chain multiple myeloma, where treatment with bortezomib-based therapy showed potential for kidney function salvage.

Minoxidil showed a 30% success rate for hair growth in a study, and various skin treatments were effective, but some had limitations or side effects.

This study found that mutant glucocorticoid receptors have defective transcriptional activity and dynamic motility issues in the nucleus, likely due to impaired interactions with nuclear molecules necessary for gene activation.

A 7-year-old dog with a rare autoimmune disease was euthanized due to severe anemia and poor prognosis.

This review discusses the characteristics of benign biphasic ovarian neoplasms called adenofibromas and reports no new clinical findings.

This case study of a toy poodle with Cushing syndrome found that after unsuccessful initial treatments, hair growth and symptom alleviation occurred following daily administration of o,p'-DDD, despite initial side effects.

This review discusses evidence on androgen sensitivity as a potential factor in COVID-19 disease severity, suggesting that androgen receptor interactions could influence virus entry and progression, and reports no 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 found that spironolactone reduced testosterone production and urinary 17-ketosteroid excretion, leading to a decrease in hair growth rate and a change in hair texture in women.

This case study of a cat with pancreatic carcinoma and paraneoplastic alopecia found that removing the internal tumor reversed hair loss, but symptoms reappeared as the cancer metastasized.

This study found that surface modified nanoparticles showed increased skin permeation and improvement in allergic contact dermatitis, independent of the follicular pathway.

This study found that women with PCOS who have an exaggerated 17-hydroxyprogesterone response to buserelin exhibit more severe hyperandrogenemia, increased insulin secretion, and reduced insulin sensitivity.

St. John's Wort can cause dangerous high blood pressure if taken with certain foods.

This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism over 6 months and was well tolerated.

This review reports that 100 mg/day spironolactone improved hair growth more than placebo and was more effective in reducing hair growth than finasteride and low-dose cyproterone acetate, but its effectiveness for acne remains unclear due to small sample sizes.

This article discusses the challenges in diagnosing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, a low-methionine diet significantly improved the health and physical traits of cystathionine β-synthase-deficient mice, contrasting with negative effects on mice with partial deficiency.

This review discusses various anti-androgen treatments for hirsutism, including androgen receptor blockers and inhibitors, and emphasizes the role of diagnosis in selecting the most appropriate therapy, but reports no new clinical results.

This review examines the role of cyclodextrins in improving the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of steroid drugs but does not report new experimental findings.

This study demonstrated that elevated glucocorticoid levels in transgenic mice led to pancreatic exocrine cells transforming into hepatocyte-like cells, resulting in pancreatic dysfunction.

This review discusses adrenal gland disease in ferrets, exploring its signs, potential contributing factors, and current treatment options, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that cutaneous adverse reactions to bortezomib and lenalidomide are more frequent than reported, impacting patients' quality of life and may require dermatological consultation for proper management.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

This study reports that diffuse alopecia of the scalp developed in some women during or after using oral contraceptive drugs, suggesting a potential link between the medication and hair loss.

This study found that bee venom promoted hair growth in mice and inhibited a key enzyme involved in testosterone conversion, suggesting its potential as a 5α-reductase inhibitor and hair growth promoter.

This study reports that combination therapy with oral steroids, anthralin, and minoxidil yielded effective cosmetic responses in 80% of patients with treatment-resistant extensive alopecia areata.
