This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher aldosterone levels and blood pressure compared to controls, suggesting a possible link between AGA and hypertension.

This study reports that women with polycystic ovary syndrome, especially those with a hyperandrogenic pattern, are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease compared to other PCOS patients, likely due to related metabolic comorbidities.

This paper proposes integrating Aesthetic Health Psychology into aesthetic medicine to enhance ethical practice and improve patient-reported outcomes by using a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework.

This chapter reviews the complex relationship between PCOS and sexual dysfunction, highlighting its fundamental role as a biopsychosocial manifestation rather than a secondary complication, and calls for comprehensive, patient-centered care; it reports no new clinical results.

This review found that androgenetic alopecia may be associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and mental health impacts, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for systemic conditions.

This abstract provides a narrative overview of polycystic ovary syndrome, discussing its symptoms and related health issues, and does not include new research findings.

This article reports that the rise in erectile dysfunction among young men may be linked to mental health issues and societal pressures, with online communities often encouraging risky substance use like anabolic steroids and finasteride, which can exacerbate psychological and physical health problems.

This study found no significant difference in serum Vitamin D levels between children with alopecia areata and healthy controls, nor was there any correlation between Vitamin D levels and the severity, duration, or pattern of the condition, or nail changes.

This study highlights a close link between metabolic syndrome, characterized by conditions like obesity and hypertension, and various inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in their pathogenesis and could be a target for new therapies.

This study suggests an association between metabolic syndrome and androgenic alopecia severity, though this association was not statistically significant.

This study found that intrauterine PRP infusion is a safe and effective treatment for patients with refractory thin endometrium and implantation failures, with the improvement primarily driven by the angiogenic cytokines in PRP.

This study used a novel extraction method to detect and measure mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids in hair follicles, concluding these steroids may serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing conditions related to steroid excess or deficiency, such as Cushing’s syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This review critically evaluates the evidence for SARMs' tissue selectivity and suggests their clinical benefits over traditional androgens are not yet well-supported by robust evidence, underscoring the need for further head-to-head trials.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and challenges in recognizing polycystic ovary syndrome, noting varied phenotypes and the absence of consensus on renaming the condition; it reports no new findings.

This study confirmed that methimazole use is associated with agranulocytosis, pyrexia, exposure during pregnancy, and hyperthyroidism, while also identifying new safety signals like premature birth and septic shock that require further investigation.

In this study, a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis found a causal link between alopecia areata and hypothyroidism, indicating that each condition may influence the other, while no similar relationship was observed between androgenetic alopecia and hypothyroidism.

This study observed that testosterone therapy in transgender men enhances both physical and mental health, is safe in the short and middle term with proper follow-up, and highlights the need for endocrinologists to provide gender-affirming care despite its limited presence in medical education.

This article emphasizes the need for physicians to gain expertise in obesity care, detailing comprehensive assessments as critical for effective management, but provides no new research findings.

Inclusive and affirming healthcare is essential for improving transgender individuals' quality of life and health.

This study measured plasma testosterone glucosiduronate levels and found no overlap in those with hyperandrogenism compared to normal females, despite normal testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in half of the affected patients.

This article discusses PCOS in adolescents and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term health complications, noting increasing adolescent obesity may worsen symptoms.

This article discusses the structure of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene and reports no new experimental results.

This article discusses treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting that medical interventions like finasteride and minoxidil can halt and partially reverse hair loss in mild to moderate cases, especially when combined with surgery.

This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This article reviews the use of cross-sex hormonal therapy in transmen and reports that it is reasonably safe, suggesting monitoring should be frequent initially but can be less frequent over time.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of PCOS in adolescents, noting that the persistence of hyperandrogenism and oligomenorrhea is required for diagnosis, while genetic studies suggest involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.

This study reports that in women with non-tumor hyperandrogenism, a decrease in serum testosterone from insulin-sensitizing therapy like metformin may indicate a low likelihood of having an androgen-secreting tumor.

This study found that higher Lnk expression in PCOS patients may contribute to insulin resistance by inhibiting insulin signaling pathways.

This review summarizes the current knowledge on polycystic ovary syndrome, including its features, diagnosis, and treatment, and highlights the need for further research to fill existing knowledge gaps.
