This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for firm diagnostic criteria.

This study found that androgenic alopecia at an early age was associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer, contrary to assumptions about androgens' role.

This study found that women with acne resistant to conventional treatments had significantly higher levels of testosterone, DHEA‑S, prolactin, and LH, suggesting potential underlying hormonal disorders.

This review examines the benefits and potential risks of androgen replacement therapy for male hypogonadism but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for careful risk assessment, especially in older men.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This study found that coadministration of 5α-reductase inhibitors with oral testosterone in oil significantly increases serum testosterone levels in medically castrated men compared to testosterone alone, with food intake minimally affecting these levels.

This study found that male pattern hair loss may be associated with differences in serum levels of androstenedione, cortisol, 17 beta-estradiol, and luteinizing hormone, compared to controls.

This study found no significant difference in polycystic ovary syndrome prevalence between lesbian and heterosexual women seeking artificial insemination, nor in their fertility rates.

In this meta-analysis, researchers found that moxibustion combined with oriental herbal medicine may improve pregnancy rates and other outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to western medication alone; however, the evidence is limited by the poor quality of included studies.

This study observed that electro-acupuncture reduced global DNA methylation and DNMT3b expression in a PCOS-like rat model, suggesting a role of hypothalamic DNA methylation in PCOS development and treatment.

This review discusses metformin's use in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on benefits during pre-conception and pregnancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 50-year-old woman who developed drug-induced hepatitis after using spironolactone for androgenetic alopecia, with symptoms resolving upon discontinuation.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.

This study suggests that the AndroCoV clinical scoring system may be a more sensitive and cost-effective tool for diagnosing COVID-19 compared to RT-PCR-SARS-CoV-2 tests, potentially reducing diagnostic delays and false negatives.

This study highlights the need to prioritize early prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus by focusing on early pathophysiologic mechanisms such as insulin resistance, rather than hyperglycemia, as conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and polycystic ovarian syndrome are early indicators of future diabetes risk.

In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.

This study found that a 400-mg dose of oral testosterone with dutasteride increases serum testosterone levels for 8–10 hours in hypogonadal men, with the nanomilled formulation unaffected by food, suggesting a practical twice-daily therapy option.

This study found that the total testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio correlates with a negative metabolic profile in both women with PCOS and healthy women.

This review discusses the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing identifying potentially life-threatening pathologies, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that Rumex japonicus Houtt. root extract promoted hair growth by enhancing cell proliferation and preventing apoptosis in human dermal papilla cells and HaCaT cells, as well as in a mouse model.

This study found that ginger supplementation significantly improved persistent hypothyroid symptoms and may aid in weight and lipid profile management in hypothyroid patients with normal TSH levels.

This study found that an oral testosterone formulation normalized serum testosterone levels and significantly reduced SHBG in men with experimentally induced hypogonadism after nine days of treatment, suggesting potential efficacy for testosterone deficiency.

In this study, researchers found an inverse association between baldness and testicular cancer, suggesting androgen activity may influence cancer risk.

In a clinical trial, this study found that a modified slow-release oral testosterone formulation improved pharmacokinetics, delaying serum testosterone peaks and reducing serum DHT compared to immediate-release formulations, especially when combined with finasteride.

This scoping review suggests there is a relationship between polycystic ovarian syndrome and vaginal microbiome dysbiosis, potentially linked to decreased Lactobacillus and increased pathogenic species.

This study concluded that antimullerian hormone levels are not generally effective for distinguishing late onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia from all hyperandrogenic polycystic ovary syndrome subtypes, except one specific subtype.

This article reviews infertility diagnosis and initial management for advanced practice clinicians, emphasizing the role of midwives and advanced practice nurses, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that lower-dose ethinyl estradiol formulations and progestin-only contraceptives may offer safer options for managing PCOS in obese women due to minimal metabolic effects.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.
