This study provides suggestive evidence that duplications in the MCHR2 gene may be involved in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata.

This meta-analysis found that in postmenopausal women with a history of breast cancer, 8 weeks of vaginal estrogen therapy while on aromatase inhibitors did not result in systemic absorption of sex hormones, suggesting potential safety for treating vulvovaginal atrophy in this context.

This systematic review identified robust biomarkers associated with hidradenitis suppurativa and confirmed potential drugs for repurposing, highlighting key pathogenetic pathways and their links to comorbid disorders.

This study found that sunscreen and moisturizer use was associated with a higher likelihood of developing frontal fibrosing alopecia in the reviewed studies.

This study found that in male mice, microglial changes due to a Parkinson's-like lesion were influenced by sex hormones, with dutasteride treatment preventing some effects.

This study concluded that while CDK4/6 inhibitors, used to treat HR+ HER2- metastatic breast cancer, generally did not worsen health-related quality of life, they were associated with increased patient-reported issues like diarrhea and hair loss upset.

This study found no significant differences in thyrotropin levels among patients with different types of nonscarring alopecia, though racial differences were observed in alopecia areata and telogen effluvium.

This study found that among Japanese full-time employees, cortisol levels in hair were negatively associated with aversive coping and emotional support-seeking tendencies, while dehydroepiandrosterone levels were linked to job confidence.

In this study, Diane treatment in women with androgenetic alopecia led to normalization of hormone levels and improved hair condition, including less greasiness and reduced hair loss.

This study observed that while PrEP was effective among transgender women if taken, adherence was low, especially among those at higher risk.

This meta-analysis estimated that around 80% of patients who had COVID-19 experienced at least one long-term symptom, with fatigue being the most common reported effect.

In this study, adrenalectomy in black rats on a vitamin B-deficient diet restored hair growth and melanin deposition, effects reversed using adrenal cortical hormones.

This study found that finasteride was associated with more reproductive adverse effects, including sexual dysfunction in men and fetal harm in women, compared to minoxidil in reported alopecia cases.

This study describes a new method using high-resolution mass spectrometry for analyzing multiple steroids in human scalp hair, with newborn hair showing the highest steroid concentrations among examined age groups.

In this review and meta-analysis, the authors concluded that 5α-reductase inhibitor therapy is not consistently associated with significant increases in serum testosterone levels in men.

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

This study suggests that hair analysis detecting trace elements like copper and iron may help in screening for diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma and osteoporosis, due to altered element concentrations in patients.

This study reported that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women and identified potential risk factors like frequent β-blocker use and sunscreen application, indicating the need for further research.

In this study, researchers observed that fasting-induced molting in laying hens led to increased thyroid hormones, which may regulate feather molting by affecting hair follicle growth through specific signaling pathways, highlighting molecular changes during induced molting.

This collection from the 2021 Manfred Donike Workshop outlines advancements in doping detection, highlighting new test methods and challenges, with a focus on steroidal substances, peptide hormones, and gene doping analysis.

This study suggests a potential link between hair dye exposure during periconception or pregnancy and certain adverse obstetric and pediatric outcomes, but the evidence remains preliminary and uncertain.

Targeted testing for telogen effluvium patients can save healthcare costs.

This meta-analysis reviewed 25 studies and suggested that herbal interventions could improve reproductive health in women with PCOS, showing benefits across measures such as Body Mass Index, hirsutism, and insulin levels, although results were mixed for fasting glucose and FSH levels.

Hair can show daily calcium changes, linked to body calcium levels and influenced by hormones, and can help assess calcium metabolism issues.

This study found no baseline factors that predicted flibanserin efficacy for HSDD, though low testosterone or use of hormonal contraceptives were associated with reduced efficacy.

This study found that women with PCOS have significantly higher prevalence and levels of thyroid autoantibodies, with these elevated levels suggesting a potential independent autoimmune activation associated with PCOS.

This study found that Traditional Chinese Medicine increased hair follicle numbers and improved hair growth metrics in androgenetic alopecia rodent models, suggesting potential benefits linked to reduced serum testosterone levels.

Transgender women have similar fitness to cisgender women, while transgender men have higher fat and lower strength than cisgender men; hormone therapy affects body composition and strength.

In this study, hair glucocorticoid levels, including cortisol and cortisone, showed varied associations with psychosocial stress factors, influenced by covariates like sex, age, and individual behaviors.

This study found that chromium, inositol, and Omega-3 are beneficial for improving lipid profiles in women with PCOS, and various supplements help alleviate other symptoms.
