This review discusses the etiology, diagnosis, and management strategies for hirsutism, noting that serious underlying disorders are rare and emphasizing targeted treatment to manage testosterone's effects.

This study observed that male human hair follicles metabolized dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA) more intensively than skin did and found altered DHA metabolism in follicles from balding individuals.

This review examines how genetic variants associated with polycystic ovary syndrome affect reproductive success differently in men and women, supporting the theory that intralocus sexual conflict may explain its persistence.

This review examines the potential of swellable microneedles in drug delivery and diagnostics, highlighting innovations and challenges in their use for chronic disease treatment, but noting that issues like physiological responsiveness and long-term stability still require research.

This article reviews the challenges in treating PCOS, noting the potential benefits of insulin sensitizers on ovulatory function and pregnancy outcomes, and calls for more long-term studies on metabolic interventions.

In this case report, a 57-year-old Japanese woman with alopecia areata, associated with myasthenia gravis and thymoma, showed significant improvement after undergoing thymectomy and receiving high doses of glucocorticosteroids.

This study found that in rheumatoid arthritis patients, inflammatory macrophages activate steroid metabolism to increase glucocorticoid and androgen production, which helps suppress inflammation and attenuate hyperproliferation in synovial fibroblasts, with notable disturbances seen in postmenopausal women due to diminished inactive steroid precursors.

In this study, 55.6% of granuloma annulare patients improved on hydroxychloroquine, with a higher prevalence of thyroid disease observed in the patient cohort.

This review discusses various nonfollicular scalp conditions causing secondary scarring or permanent alopecia and highlights the importance of specific diagnoses and treatments but reports no new results.

In this case report, etanercept was observed to effectively resolve symptoms of refractory acrodermatitis continua suppurativa Hallopeau after previous treatments had limited success.

Mutations in the hHb6 gene cause the hair disorder monilethrix.

This study observed that oclacitinib, combined with oral glucocorticoids, achieved rapid and lasting clinical remission in four dogs with refractory juvenile-onset ischaemic dermatopathy, suggesting oclacitinib's potential as a useful immunosuppressive treatment in such cases.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This study found that both metformin and rosiglitazone improved ovulation and insulin sensitivity in women with PCOS, with rosiglitazone showing a more pronounced increase in adiponectin levels.

This study found that Annurca apple polyphenolic extracts reprogram hair follicle metabolism in mice, enhancing mitochondrial activity and keratin production while inhibiting some metabolic pathways.

This review discusses metformin's use in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on benefits during pre-conception and pregnancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that maternal Nano-Se supplementation in cashmere goats improved antioxidant status and promoted secondary hair follicle development in fetuses at 110 days.

This study found that altered amino acid metabolism, specifically involving glutamic and aspartic acids, promotes neurovascular reactivity in rosacea, suggesting a potential metabolic target for treatment.
