This letter reports three cases of diffuse hair loss linked to hyperprolactinaemia but does not present new research findings.

This study found that men with Cushing syndrome often experience significant hypogonadism, with 65% reporting reduced libido and erectile dysfunction, indicating a need for screening in those with gynecomastia or hypogonadism.

This paper discusses the complex relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperprolactinemia, noting a decrease in prolactin levels following bromocriptine treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that female patients with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum prolactin levels compared to healthy controls, which contrasts with previous findings linking higher prolactin to hair loss.

This study found that women with acne had higher rates of hyperandrogenism and obesity, and higher androgen levels and BMI were linked to increased acne severity.

Type 2 diabetes in youth is increasing, with high treatment failure rates and more severe than Type 1; certain drugs can lower lipid levels effectively with varying side effects, and apples may benefit heart health like statins but with fewer side effects.

This study found that Iraqi male bodybuilders abusing anabolic androgenic steroids experienced significant changes in sex hormones, liver and kidney function, and lipid profiles compared to non-AAS-using controls.

In this study, an Egyptian cohort with PCOS showed a high prevalence of skin issues like hirsutism and acne compared to controls, with hirsutism linked to higher androgen levels, while other factors also influenced acne and alopecia.

This case report describes a unique instance where elevated prolactin levels from a pituitary adenoma were associated with hirsutism due to increased dihydrotestosterone, with treatment leading to normalization.

This case study observed that discontinuing risperidone reduced elevated prolactin levels and improved hair thinning in a 77-year-old woman, suggesting risperidone-associated telogen effluvium as a consideration in similar cases.

This study found that parenteral administration of cyproterone acetate was more effective than high-dose oral treatment in reducing facial hair diameter and improving dermatological parameters in patients with severe hirsutism, despite similar androgen suppression.
