research An Attempt to Assess the Magnitude of Endogenous Androgen Production in a Case of the Adrenogenital Syndrome
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Repigmentation of Gray Hair After Thyroid Hormone Treatment
Gray hair regained color after thyroid hormone treatment.
research Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Diabetic Neuropathy May Be Involved in the Development of Neuropathic Pain via a Reduction in Neurosteroid Synthesis
Mitochondrial problems in diabetic nerve damage might cause pain by lowering the production of certain nerve-related steroids.
research Effect of Finasteride on Behavioral Arousal and Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in Fetal Sheep
Finasteride may affect fetal brain development and increase arousal, but more research is needed for safety confirmation.
research Connexin 43 Expression in the Testes During Postnatal Development of Finasteride-Treated Male Rat Offspring
Finasteride treatment changes Cx43 in rat testes, possibly causing fertility issues.
research Factors Driving Unique Urination Phenotypes of Male and Female 9-Week-Old C57BL/6J Mice
Testosterone significantly affects urination differences between male and female mice.
research Surgery And Laser
Various skin conditions like cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and basal cell carcinoma can be effectively treated with antihypertensive agents, NB-UVB phototherapy, and imiquimod cream respectively. Vaccines are effective against genital herpes and HPV-16 infection. Early intervention is crucial for conditions like diabetic foot ulcers and neonatal herpes. Certain dyes can cause hand dermatitis, and there's a link between smoking/drinking and psoriasis in men. No direct link was found between low iron levels and chronic hair loss in women.
research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice
Prolactin slows down hair growth in mice.
research Primary Scarring Alopecias
The document concludes that primary scarring alopecias cause permanent hair loss, have unpredictable outcomes, and lack definitive treatments, requiring personalized care.
research Hepatic Adenoma in an Adolescent With Elevated Androgen Levels
A teenage girl with high androgen levels and PCOS developed a rare liver tumor, suggesting a possible link between high androgens and the tumor's growth.
research Immediate and Delayed Complications of Dexamethasone Cyclophosphamide Pulse Therapy
DCP therapy causes side effects like weakness, flushing, headaches, and taste changes, but less frequently causes hypertension and diabetes.
research Abiraterone and Spironolactone in Prostate Cancer: A Combination to Avoid
Don't combine abiraterone and spironolactone for prostate cancer treatment as it may worsen the disease.
research Pharmacodynamic Evaluation: Endocrinology
The conclusion is that endocrinology significantly impacts medicine with various common medications used for treatment.
research Medical Practice: Therapy and Adverse Reactions
Blood pressure drugs can cause skin lupus, but it improves after stopping the drug. The glycoprotein D vaccine works against genital herpes in some women, and the HPV-16 vaccine reduces HPV-16 infection and related diseases. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. A cream called imiquimod effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Iron supplements don't necessarily help with chronic hair loss in women.
research Internal Medicine: Retrospective Review of 120 Patients Over a 10-Year Period
Certain drugs can cause skin lupus, but stopping the drug usually helps. Vaccines work against smallpox, genital herpes, and a type of human papillomavirus. More frequent light therapy clears psoriasis faster. Certain treatments work for psoriasis and dermatitis. A specific cream effectively treats a type of skin cancer. Low iron levels aren't directly linked to chronic hair loss.
