This review examines the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of female pattern hair loss and reports no new results.

This review discusses the use of hair analysis for examining stress and reproduction hormone levels in wildlife and highlights the need for more comprehensive physiological validations across species.

Opioid use may lower PSA levels, suggesting a possible role in prostate cancer control; PSA testing is useful for detecting prostate cancer; serum triglycerides are not linked to prostate cancer risk; and higher urethral PSA levels may be associated with local hormone activity.

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 women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

This study found a significant association between higher serum anti-thyroperoxidase (anti-TPO) antibody levels and the occurrence of chronic spontaneous urticaria, suggesting that testing for anti-TPO antibodies alongside primary thyroid markers might be important in managing this condition.

In this study, 35.4% of telogen effluvium patients showed ferritin deficiency and 34.2% had vitamin D deficiency, suggesting these should be included in TE screening; TSH testing should be individualized.

This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

This study found no significant association between serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, TSH, ferritin, zinc, or anxiety scores and trichodynia in telogen alopecia patients.

The document concludes that more research is needed to confirm if blood tests for things like iron and vitamin D are helpful for hair loss from Telogen effluvium.

This review discusses the use of antimüllerian hormone as a marker of ovarian reserve in infertility diagnosis and treatment, noting it reflects oocyte quantity but not health or pregnancy likelihood.

Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.

This review discusses diagnostic approaches for women with diffuse, nonscarring hair loss and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses steroid cell tumors of the ovary, their hormone production, symptoms, and evaluation, emphasizing surgery as the key treatment approach; it reports no new clinical results.

Some overweight or obese men with long-term frontal fibrosing alopecia may have abnormal sex hormone levels.

In this study, the researchers found that a high percentage of young women with alopecia had deficiencies in Vitamin D, zinc, ferritin, and haemoglobin levels, suggesting the importance of testing these factors in such cases.

This case report describes a 70-year-old woman with pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone (PRTH) misdiagnosed as Graves disease, highlighting diagnostic challenges in managing this rare disorder.

This case report highlighted a rare occurrence of both adrenocortical carcinoma and uric acid kidney stones in a 5-year-old boy, with hormonal levels and clinical symptoms returning to normal after treatment and no recurrence over four years, emphasizing comprehensive endocrine evaluations in pediatric ACC management.

This case report describes a girl with familial adenomatous polyposis who exhibited heterosexual precocious puberty due to an adrenal tumor secreting cortisol and androgens; after her adrenalectomy, her hormone levels normalized and symptoms improved, illustrating the link between genetic syndromes and endocrine disorders.

This case report illustrates that high-dose biotin supplementation can cause false thyroid function test abnormalities in vitro, emphasizing the need to assess biotin intake before testing.

This study developed a mathematical model and online tool using serum AMH, androstenedione levels, UML, and BMI to screen for undiagnosed PCOS, particularly useful for Asian populations.

This case report describes a 27-year-old man hospitalized with fatigue, myalgias, weakness, profound weight loss, and abnormal liver function, leading to a diagnosis after chest imaging revealed pneumomediastinum.
