Among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, this study found that oral contraceptives containing 20 μg ethinyl estradiol had similar effects on androgen levels as those containing 30 μg.

This article emphasizes the importance of using professional judgment when applying educational content to patient care and reports no new research findings.

This study analyzed online information about PCOS and found that while the accuracy of the information was generally high, the readability was poor, suggesting a need for more accessible resources for patients.

This article argues that while evidence-based medicine has provided many benefits, it has also led to negative unintended consequences, and proposes a renewed focus on integrating context and professional expertise to improve patient treatment.

In this rodent study, the researchers found that different hormone therapies affected gut microbiota and goblet cell counts, with notable microbial shifts observed between groups receiving estrogen with and without an orchiectomy, linked to estrogen metabolism.

In this study, EC chemotherapy was found to be noninferior to TC in causing grade 3 or 4 neutropenia among HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer patients, but EC was associated with more other adverse events.

In this study, researchers found that eccrine sweat glands in human scalp skin are morphologically integrated into the pilosebaceous unit, suggesting they form a common homeostatic tissue environment with adjacent structures.

In this case report, a transgender woman with refractory epilepsy began estrogen therapy for gender-affirming purposes, experiencing stable epilepsy and reduced gender dysphoria through ongoing multidisciplinary care, highlighting the importance of careful management for similar patients.

The researchers found that inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase, either genetically or pharmacologically, delayed the onset of chemically induced seizures related to GABA antagonism in experimental models.

Electrical impedance spectroscopy improves biopsy accuracy and efficiency for skin lesions.

This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a rare genetic disorder causing skin and bone changes, with some cases also showing ADHD or developmental delays.

In this narrative review, the authors highlighted that AI-supported electronic health record analysis could help recognize Polycystic Ovary Syndrome/Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome earlier, but also warned that these systems might perpetuate historical biases if not properly validated and interpreted.

This study reported that the Undiagnosed Disease Program at Ghent University Hospital successfully provided definite diagnoses for 18% of referred adults with suspected rare diseases, primarily through genomic technologies.

This study found that an extract from the herbal medicine Ophioglossum vulgatum Linn. showed potential hair growth promotion and increased ATP and catalase activity in cell assays, suggesting its use in treating alopecia.

This case study found that in a male-to-female transgender individual, long-term cyproterone use led to decreased bone mass, which improved with additional oestradiol treatment, highlighting the anabolic role of oestrogens on bone health.

The researchers reported that epitestosterone treatment reduced eicosanoid levels generated by cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases in rabbit liver samples with carrageenan-induced inflammation.

This study found that persistent significant alopecia was a common side effect following FEC-docetaxel chemotherapy, with a 33.4% global incidence, highlighting the need for awareness and potential preventative measures like cooling caps during treatment.

The researchers reported that the novel MBTPS2 variant p.Glu172Asp found in a male proband is likely pathogenic, consistent with osteogenesis imperfecta symptoms and molecular signatures, including disrupted fatty acid metabolism and collagen production.

This study concluded that cyproterone acetate alone produced antiandrogenic effects on the female gerbil prostate, while ethinyloestradiol alone stimulated estrogenic activity, and their combination led to prostatic lesions.
