This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing different causes of adult androgen excess and outlines current screening and management strategies but reports no new findings.

This study found that DHHC13 is crucial for hair anchoring and skin barrier function, with its deficiency in Zdhhc13(skc4) mice leading to cyclic alopecia and skin abnormalities due to cornifelin deficiencies.

This study observed that five out of fourteen individuals aged 13-16 years, who were homozygous for the p.C282Y mutation related to hemochromatosis, had increased liver and phlebotomy-mobilized iron levels.

This review examines androgen status in male and female obesity and its influence on the metabolic syndrome, but reports no new clinical results.

This case report highlights how a thorough history and examination led to the diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis in a patient initially suspected to have diverticulosis, improving symptoms with phlebotomy treatment.

This study identified that in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis, the c.736T > A LIPH mutation is associated with a mild phenotype, while the c.742C > A mutation may lead to severe baldness.

In the phase 3 CAPItello-291 trial, capivasertib combined with fulvestrant significantly increased progression-free survival in patients with advanced breast cancer with specific genetic alterations, but the authors highlight that managing side effects like diarrhea, rash, and hyperglycemia is crucial for optimizing treatment adherence and outcomes.

This case report highlights lichen planus pigmentosus in a 60-year-old man, which was linked to previously undetected hepatitis C infection and liver cirrhosis, suggesting a need for hepatitis C testing in patients with similar dermatological manifestations.

This study identified a novel keratin-associated protein, KAP24.1, which is specifically expressed in the human scalp and located in the hair cuticle.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.

This study reports the first case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome, highlighting successful management of severe subglottic stenosis with serial endoscopic balloon dilations in a 2-month-old female.

This review covers the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to P450c21, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that US adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia most preferred a hypothetical adjunctive therapy that prevents glucocorticoid-induced weight gain over other potential benefits.

This review discusses the antimicrobial and protective effects of hesperidin and hesperetin against various toxicities, with potential mechanisms explored, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that the PPARγ modulator NAC-GED-0507-Levo may protect hair follicles from chemotherapy-induced damage, potentially offering a strategy to address irreversible hair loss in cancer patients.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

This abstract announces the third annual conference of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons in Mumbai in 2011 and reports no new clinical findings.

CaBP1 and CaBP2 are necessary for proper hearing and neurotransmission in the ear's inner hair cells.

This study found that several genes, including capping protein, palladin, VEGF, and HSPC-related clones, might cooperatively influence the aggregation, proliferation, and cycle control of dermal papilla cells, potentially affecting hair follicle behavior.

In this study, researchers observed that IRES/Cap translation initiation increased during caloric stress across cell differentiation states and also unexpectedly rose during normal differentiation processes in mice, with lower IRES/Cap being linked to higher stem cell potential, mediated by PTBP1, a RNA processing protein.

In this study, HPH-15, a newly synthesized compound, demonstrated potential in reducing skin fibrosis in a mouse model by targeting underlying pathogenic mechanisms and exhibited a good safety profile, warranting further clinical trials for fibrotic skin disorders like systemic sclerosis.

This study concluded that adding 5% topical Procapil to PRP therapy provided better outcomes for androgenetic alopecia than PRP alone, as assessed by dermatologist evaluations and patient satisfaction.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the hairless gene among a non-consanguineous Chinese family with congenital atrichia, illustrating phenotypic variations due to founder or modifier genes.

Keratin-associated proteins are crucial for hair strength and structure.

This study describes the ongoing HABIT study in Taicang, China, which aims to identify risk factors and the relationship between cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases among 10,357 adults, by collecting and analyzing long-term data on health, lifestyle, and biological specimens. Results are not yet available.

This case report highlights that women with nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia should be aware of the risk of having a child with classical CAH if their partner also carries a severe mutation.
