The document explains that hirsutism, often caused by hormonal issues, can be managed with treatment to improve both physical appearance and mental health.

Androgen lowering medications don't significantly change HCV-related liver cancer risk in men.

The researchers reported that the rat Hershberger assay reliably detected endocrine-disrupting effects of finasteride, procymidone, and 17α-methyltestosterone, validating the assay's sensitivity for identifying hormonal activity.

This study revealed that Patched receptors establish a Hedgehog signaling gradient in developing hair follicles, which may influence their formation and potentially offer a diagnostic tool for distinguishing Hedgehog-driven tumors.

This study found two recurrent missense mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix in families from Russia and Colombia, supporting their role in this hair disorder worldwide.

HEV light can harm or help skin and scalp, so safe exposure guidelines are needed.

This study found a novel nonsynonymous genetic variant in the hHb1 gene of a family with monilethrix, which differs from ten previously reported pathogenic mutations.

People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.

In this study, researchers examined chronic hepatitis B patients and found that those undergoing interferon therapy reported higher quality of life than those on non-antiviral or nucleoside/nucleotide analogue treatments, despite potential side effects.

This case study reports the first instance of irreversible alopecia universalis occurring during pegylated interferon-ribavirin therapy in a man with hepatitis C infection, without evidence of immunological or thyroid disorders.

This case report describes a 27-year-old kidney transplant recipient with end stage renal failure who developed infections and adverse reactions, ultimately resolving with antiviral treatment targeting HHV6.

This study mapped a spontaneous mouse hair mutation, "hague," to keratin genes on chromosome 15 but found no gene mutations in hague mice.

In this study, HED patients with COVID-19 showed a higher risk of postinfection fatigue and hair loss compared to controls, suggesting they are more susceptible to long-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

FUE successfully restored hair growth in a patient with alopecia from Hansen's disease.

This review discusses the bioactive compounds and biological activities of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. and highlights concerns about its hepatotoxicity, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case study, researchers detailed two Saudi cases of the ultra-rare Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, identifying pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene and reinforcing a strong gene-disease association, which helps clarify the disorder's clinical features and genetic mutations.

This article reviews the clinical signs, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for hyperandrogenism in women, focusing on hirsutism and specifies that cyproterone acetate is effective for severe cases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a human relevant potency threshold for estrogen receptor alpha agonism may serve as a health-protective screening tool, and highlights inference performance as essential for scientific confidence frameworks.

This study found that plasma 3 alpha-diol glucuronide was markedly elevated in women with idiopathic hirsutism, suggesting it may be a marker of peripheral androgen action.

In this case report, veterinarians observed a 16-year-old mare with symptoms including chronic weight loss, pruritus, muscle atrophy, and lameness, which gradually progressed to neurological issues despite initial treatment.

This study by Dr. Manka and colleagues reported that thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating hepatic stellate cells, influencing liver fibrosis progression via TGFβ signaling. They found that TRα signaling might enhance scar-free tissue regeneration, offering potential pathways for targeted liver fibrosis treatments.

This proof-of-concept study reported that a new, ultra-fast, one-step immunohistochemistry method improved the interpretation of Mohs surgery slides, particularly for poorly differentiated tumors.

In this study, researchers identified two de novo germline missense mutations in the hair keratins hHb1 and hHb6 in patients with monilethrix whose parents were not clinically affected.

This study found that Hataedock may alleviate atopic dermatitis symptoms in mice by maintaining skin homeostasis and improving skin barrier formation through the endocannabinoid system.

This review summarizes recent research and patents on 17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3 inhibitors, suggesting their potential in treating androgen-dependent diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that human hair follicle-derived mesenchymal stem cells effectively maintained human embryonic stem cells in an undifferentiated state, comparable to mouse embryonic fibroblasts under standard conditions.

This article explores whether Melampus, a mythological healer, may have intentionally caused the madness of Proetus' daughters through the use of herbs, despite being credited with their cure.

In this study, idiopathic hirsutism was identified as the most common cause of hirsutism among the patients, followed by polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This case report describes the first instance of juvenile hemochromatosis type 2A associated with secondary hypothyroidism, linked to a novel mutation in the HJV gene.

This study demonstrates that a novel autologous hair follicle-derived epithelial sheet can effectively repigment skin in patients with stable vitiligo, offering a potential new treatment option.
