This review discusses the cosmetic and health implications of hirsutism and highlights its potential link to serious underlying disorders, but it presents no new clinical findings.

In this review, researchers reported that anorexia nervosa leads to widespread medical complications across all body systems, particularly at low body weights, and these complications are primarily treated through nutritional rehabilitation with a multidisciplinary team approach.

This review discusses diagnosis and management strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome in teenagers and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing tailored approaches considering symptoms, psychological well-being, and fertility needs.

This chapter reviews genetic defects in female sexual differentiation, focusing on 46,XX disorders of sex development and the impact of genetic factors and sex steroids on development, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses hypopituitarism's bidirectional relationship with COVID-19 due to metabolic comorbidities and pituitary risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that while iron depletion through phlebotomies is safe for women with functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, it does not improve their cardio-metabolic profile and may reduce non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity.

This review discusses how COVID-19 may affect gonadal function and potential gender differences, but reports no clinical results; it highlights possible mechanisms and new treatment approaches from recent literature.

The study observed that women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia experience more impaired sexual functions and are more often homosexually or bisexually oriented than those with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This review discusses the controversial non-inflammatory alopecia known as alopecia X, highlighting its unknown etiology and the variable effectiveness of various proposed treatments, but reports no new results.

Hair cortisol analysis can help diagnose stress-related conditions but needs more refinement for widespread use.

In this study, researchers developed an LC-MS/MS method to accurately quantify cortisone and cortisol levels in human scalp hair, finding that concentrations decrease predictably along the hair shaft, which could assist in identifying abnormal glucocorticoid exposure.
