This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher serum NF-κB levels compared to controls, and these levels correlated with disease severity, suggesting NF-κB as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.

In this study, skin tags in Irish adults with morbid obesity were associated with higher blood pressure, higher HbA1c levels, and a greater prevalence of diabetes and hypertension, suggesting increased cardiovascular risk.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher concentrations of oxytocin, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, and follicle-stimulating hormone compared to healthy controls.

This observational study found that patients with various skin diseases across 17 European countries experience higher levels of perceived stigmatization than skin-healthy controls, particularly those with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, and bullous disorders, with factors such as disease severity and psychological distress influencing stigmatization levels.

This study found that age, pre-pregnancy BMI, and family history of diabetes were independent predictors of gestational diabetes in Iranian women, with selective screening missing few cases among low-risk groups.

This study found that PCOS women with COVID-19 had lower ACE2 levels and higher insulin resistance, suggesting increased cardiovascular risk.

This study found that hyperandrogenemia in Chinese women with PCOS is associated with higher risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity, suggesting it should be prioritized in managing PCOS-related infertility.

This study found that non-Kuwaiti COVID-19 patients in Kuwait had higher odds of death, ICU admission, ARDS, and pneumonia compared to Kuwaiti patients.

This study concluded that PCOS patients, regardless of weight, have significantly lower serum amylin levels than healthy BMI-matched controls, while serum preptin levels did not vary significantly between groups.

In this observational study, researchers found a strong association between higher alcohol and smoking indices and increased severity of male androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that females treated with atypical anti-psychotics had a higher prevalence of probable polycystic ovarian syndrome compared to normal controls.

This study found that patients with chronic migraine who excessively use symptomatic medications had a higher prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders, suggesting these psychiatric diagnoses may influence medication overuse.

This study found that gender, puberty, and BMI significantly affect hair cortisol concentrations in children, suggesting these factors should be considered in future research.

This study found that acanthosis nigricans and skin tags in nondiabetic, obese patients were significantly associated with higher insulin levels, suggesting they may serve as clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia.

This study, assessing PCOS patients, found a significant positive correlation between increased ovarian volume and elevated insulin resistance, suggesting that larger ovaries may indicate a higher degree of insulin resistance.

Ethnicity affects how polycystic ovary syndrome shows up in women, with white women having higher metabolic risks but less diabetes, and South Asian women showing more androgenic symptoms and being younger at presentation.

In this study, hyperandrogenemia in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome was linked to higher blood pressure, independent of factors like age, insulin resistance, obesity, or dyslipidemia.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that Chinese women with PCOS have a high prevalence of mild to moderate NAFLD, particularly when BMI is ≥24 kg/m(2), emphasizing the role of insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities.

In this study, researchers found that severe androgenic alopecia in hospitalized men was associated with a higher likelihood of testing positive for COVID-19.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have elevated cardiovascular risk markers, with levels being higher in obese participants compared to non-obese participants.

In this study, adipose-derived stem cells from superficial adipose tissue showed higher regenerative potential, and more macrophages were found in superficial than deep adipose tissue, potentially influenced by skin microbiota.

This study found that adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity using semaglutide and tirzepatide experienced higher odds of nonscarring alopecia, such as telogen effluvium, compared to those using other GLP-1 receptor agonists, with hair loss potentially linked to physiologic stress from weight loss.

This study found that subclinical hypothyroidism was present in nearly 19% of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, with no significant associations between thyroid dysfunction and most clinical features, but higher prevalence noted in those with hair loss and heavy menstrual bleeding.

This study found a significant correlation between lower triglyceride levels and reduced acne severity among medical students, while no significant association was observed between BMI and acne severity.

This study found no significant differences in fat distribution between Thai women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, though PCOS women with abnormal glucose tolerance showed higher arm fat.

This study reported that almost 25% of women with PCOS were diagnosed with NAFLD, and 32.7% to 44.6% had metabolic syndrome, with higher prevalence in those with both conditions.

This study found that PCOS is common among Iranian women, with phenotypes involving hyperandrogenism exhibiting worse lipid profiles and higher rates of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy women.

In this pilot study of Indonesians, the rs1998076 genetic variant was not significantly linked to androgenetic alopecia, though the GG genotype showed a non-significant trend toward higher odds, while clinical factors like age and hypertension were correlated with increased risk.

This study found that in PCOS patients, a lower TT/DHT ratio is associated with regular menstruation, while higher ratios are linked to insulin resistance, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for metabolic severity in these patients.
