In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

This study developed and validated a comprehensive method using mass spectrometry to profile sex (pro)hormones in plasma, with results showing reliable calibration and detection of 31 analytes in samples from pre- and postmenopausal women and men, while addressing potential over- or underestimations in analyte concentrations.

In this study, the researchers used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome exhibit a central fat distribution pattern despite not having increased overall fat compared to controls, suggesting this method's potential utility in diagnosing and monitoring PCOS.

This systematic review and meta-analysis reports that patients with alopecia areata have significantly higher serum levels of IL6 and CRP, and lower levels of vitamin D, compared to healthy controls.

Evaluate and manage androgen excess in women with a systematic approach, considering both physical and psychological impacts.

This case study describes hair loss as a potential late complication of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, observed in a 7-year-old girl who developed Telogen effluvium 73 days post-diagnosis.

This report presents two cases where dermatologists identified internal malignancies—small cell lung cancer and stage IIB cervical cancer—through paraneoplastic skin manifestations.

This review discusses the role of anti-Müllerian hormone in polycystic ovary syndrome and its male equivalent, but reports no new clinical findings; it suggests further investigation is needed into male relatives' reproductive function.

This review discussed the cutaneous manifestations of APECED, highlighting chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo, while emphasizing the importance of early detection and monitoring for accurate diagnosis and patient care in various populations.

The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This review discusses recent advancements in understanding and managing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, including improvements in screening, diagnostics, and potential genetic and cell-based treatments, but reports no new clinical findings.

This chapter reviews the perioperative management and evaluation processes for bariatric surgery, emphasizing candidate selection, surgical risk reduction, and optimizing outcomes, and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of PCOS and chemotherapy-induced menopause who was found to have a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor causing postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 28-year-old female with CAH, emphasizing that large, hormonally active, or painful myelolipomas should be surgically removed.

This case report emphasizes the importance of recognizing non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a cause of hyperandrogenism and the need for genetic counseling given potential familial implications.

In this case report, researchers identified Vitamin A toxicity as the cause of refractory hypercalcemia in a nonverbal patient, emphasizing the difficulty of diagnosing this rare condition due to its nonspecific symptoms.

This review highlights therapeutic options for inducing puberty in males and females with delayed puberty, emphasizing the need for larger trials to establish the best approaches.

This article discusses the potential role of oral DHEA, available as a 'dietary supplement' in the US, in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, calling for clinical trials to assess its safety.

In this case report, researchers observed that the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab may worsen hypothyroidism in patients, as seen in a 60-year-old woman with metastatic duodenal carcinoma.

This case report describes a patient with an ovarian steroid cell tumor that initially presented as non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the difficulty in differential diagnosis with hyperandrogenism and the importance of close clinical monitoring.

This case report highlights the challenge of differentiating between non-classical adrenal hyperplasia and steroid cell tumors of the ovary in a patient presenting with hyperandrogenism.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This case report highlights that a patient with resistance to thyroid hormone was misdiagnosed as having Graves’ disease, leading to unnecessary radioactive iodine treatment.

This case report highlights that Sheehan's syndrome can still occur in developed countries due to factors like migration and delayed diagnosis, with diabetes insipidus sometimes masked by adrenal insufficiency.

This case study suggests that genetic susceptibility to PCOS and rare syndromes, such as Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome Type 1, should be considered in young men with unexplained hyperandrogenism.
