This study found that surgical normalization of testosterone in hyperandrogenic women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumors did not significantly change body weight or insulin sensitivity after 12 months.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

In this study, researchers found that Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients, despite being in euthyroid status, experienced more severe extrathyroidal symptoms compared to healthy controls, and elevated thyroid antibodies were linked to lower health-related quality of life and increased inflammation.

This article lacks an abstract and reports no new findings.

This article explains that proliferating trichilemmal tumors, originating in the hair follicle, can exhibit low-grade malignant potential, and recommends wide excision to minimize recurrence risk, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a woman with virilization syndrome who experienced a reduction in androgen levels and reversal of alopecia after removal of a Leydig cell tumor from her ovary.

This study found that over half of the patients experienced varying degrees of hair loss after acromegaly surgery, with female patients and those with severe postoperative growth hormone deficiency more commonly affected.

This study reports on a 46-year-old female with a high hairline who underwent hairline-lowering surgery using bone-tunneling suture fixation, achieving an average of 2 cm reduction, equivalent to transplanting up to 3,000 hair grafts, with satisfactory results for both patient and surgeons.

This study found that thyroid dysfunction was significantly more frequent in patients with alopecia areata compared to a control group, even when they lacked symptoms of thyroid issues, supporting the need for routine thyroid screening in this population.

In this study, managing laryngectomy patients during the COVID-19 pandemic requires special precautions due to their unique respiratory challenges, emphasizing the need for protective equipment and postponement of non-essential procedures to reduce infection risks for patients and health care providers.

In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

A woman's high testosterone levels were caused by a rare ovarian tumor, not the initially diagnosed condition.

In this study, researchers found varying levels of multiple autoantibody types among thyroid disorder patients, with 84.84% of those with immunological hypothyroidism reporting symptoms like weight gain and lethargy, whereas 81.81% of those with immune hyperthyroidism experienced hair loss.

In this case report, researchers observed that the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab may worsen hypothyroidism in patients, as seen in a 60-year-old woman with metastatic duodenal carcinoma. The authors suggest that thyroid function should be monitored when using VEGF inhibitor therapies due to potential adverse effects.

This study observed that an overdose of levothyroxine in a hypothyroid infant led to rapid hair loss, which improved after reducing the medication dose.

This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

This case report describes a 55-year-old woman with alopecia areata whose condition improved rapidly and did not recur after the surgical resection of a thymoma, suggesting a potential immunological link between alopecia areata and thymoma that warrants further investigation.

This study demonstrated that thyroid hormone receptors play a crucial role in hair growth and skin health, as mice lacking these receptors showed impaired hair cycling and wound healing.

This retrospective study of 500 female patients with telogen effluvium found that those with hypothyroidism had more severe hair loss compared to those with normal thyroid function or hyperthyroidism, highlighting the importance of thyroid function testing in these cases.

In this case report, a shift from Hashimoto's thyroiditis to Graves' disease was observed in a 62-year-old woman, highlighting the rare transformation from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism over 20 years, possibly due to changes in antibody activity, according to the researchers.

This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with male pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who was diagnosed with an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor and successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

This review discusses key aspects and challenges of thyroid ultrasound interpretation but reports no new clinical findings, noting the necessity of experience and theoretical knowledge in this field.

The author reports that using Total Excision Techniques in hair transplant surgeries increased graft yield by at least 50%, with minimal scarring in the donor area.

In this study, a 15-year-old girl presented with symptoms suggesting thyrotoxicosis, and through various diagnostic tests, silent thyroiditis was ultimately diagnosed after negative scintigraphy, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in thyroid disorders.

This article emphasizes the importance of thyroid function monitoring and management in women, particularly for those planning pregnancy or postpartum, but reports no new clinical results.

The microstrip technique for hair transplantation is effective and discreet for patients needing fewer than 1500 grafts.

This systematic review suggests that current evidence does not support routinely discontinuing gender-affirming hormone treatments before surgery, especially testosterone and spironolactone, due to limited data on related perioperative risks.

In this case study, a 37-year-old woman with alopecia areata and associated endocrine disorders experienced significant improvement in hair regrowth, anxiety, and menstrual regularity following four months of individualized homeopathic treatment.

In this case report, a post-menopausal woman with symptoms such as hirsutism and elevated testosterone underwent surgery, which revealed hormonally active ovarian cellular fibromas, leading to symptom resolution and normalized hormone levels; the authors suggest further exploration of these tumors' hormonal effects.

This case report highlights a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor as the cause of androgen excess in a 36-year-old woman and underscores the importance of thorough preoperative workup to avoid unnecessary surgery.
