This report details a 6-year-old girl with adrenocortical cancer presenting with voice changes, weight gain, and excessive hair growth, successfully treated with surgery and medication, with symptoms resolved after 6 months.

This study found that St. John's wort treatment for two weeks induced finasteride metabolism and reduced its plasma exposure in healthy men.

This study found that sebum excretion is not increased in women with female pattern hair loss, suggesting nonandrogenic factors may contribute to hair loss in some women without hirsutism.

This study found that variations in sleep patterns, free testosterone, and 5-alpha-reductase type 1 activity are associated with changes in sebum excretion in women, which may contribute to variability in acne studies.

This study found that GnRH-A treatment significantly reduced hirsuties scores in women with mild idiopathic hirsuties but did not affect hair growth rate or diameter.

This study found that the combined use of sugarcane fibre and keratinolytic enzymes reduced hairball excretion in cats.

This study found that the Abyssinian and Sphynx breeds have significantly higher felinine:creatinine ratios in their urine compared to several longhaired cat breeds, suggesting hair growth may influence felinine production.

This study reported on the excretion levels of pantothenic acid in patients experiencing achromotrichia and alopecia but did not present new clinical results.

This study suggests that epidermal turnover could be a regulated mechanism of iron excretion, with systemic iron levels influencing keratinocyte behavior and differentiation markers in the skin.

This study found that diagnosing non-classical 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency solely based on elevated serum or urinary 5-ene-steroids may not be reliable.

This study observed a tendency for patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia to have more androgen receptors in their scalp than healthy controls, though this difference was not statistically significant.

This case report describes the rare association of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor and primary hyperparathyroidism in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting the importance of considering rare causes in patients with virilizing symptoms.

This review explores the biomechanical factors and signaling systems, like Wnt, involved in the pathophysiology of psoriatic nail lesions and reports no new results.

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.

In this study, miliacin combined with polar lipids significantly stimulated IGF1 production, increased the renewal of keratinocytes, and enhanced collagen thickness in a hair follicle model.

This article discusses current non-hormonal and topical treatments for androgenic hair loss but reports no clinical results; the authors highlight micrograft reimplantation as the only method that produces noticeable hair density improvements.

In this case report, a 74-year-old woman initially diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia was later found to have secondary alopecia neoplastica due to morpheaform basal cell carcinoma of the scalp, illustrating the importance of recognizing subtle clinical features to prevent delayed treatment and potential local destruction.

This study explored how Australian patients and their carers perceived autologous stem cell interventions, highlighting factors like illness experience and unrealistic expectations that influenced their decision-making in an unregulated market.

This case report discusses how trichomegaly, an adverse effect of the cancer therapy drug erlotinib, might serve as a marker of positive tumor response and potentially aid in treating madarosis.

This commentary discusses the potential of natural volatiles in medical aromatherapy, highlighting their ability to synergize with other drugs and modulate biological processes, but reports no new results.

This study reported the development of two highly sensitive ELISA assays to detect banned substances finasteride and dutasteride in human urine, offering better sensitivity than existing HPLC/MS/MS methods.

This review discusses the role of glucocorticoids in treating severe inflammatory disorders and highlights their potential adverse effects, recommending dosage management to minimize these risks; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found evidence that polythelia pilosa, previously excluded from classification, should be reintroduced as it marks true aberrant mammary structures in men and hirsute women.

This article reviews the use of hair analysis in forensic and environmental toxicology for detecting potentially toxic elements and drugs, but it reports no new research findings.

This review outlines the factors affecting skin greasiness and sebum production, highlighting measurement challenges but reports no new clinical findings; further research may guide sebosuppressive treatments for acne.

This review discusses zinc's role as an essential trace element in human nutrition, particularly its importance in total parenteral nutrition, and reports no new clinical results.
