This report describes a 38-year-old female diagnosed with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome Type II after presenting with shock.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

This study found that minoxidil increased plasma renin activity in patients with hypertension through both an adrenergic mechanism related to heart rate changes and a secondary mechanism unrelated to propranolol.

This study concluded that anabolic-androgenic steroids negatively impact male reproductive health, including reduced testosterone production, impaired sperm production, and increased risk of sexual dysfunction and metabolic issues.

This case report concludes that a combination of physical examination, hormonal evaluation, and imaging studies is crucial for identifying malignant adrenal masses, with radical excision and adjuvant therapy improving patient outcomes.

The authors concluded that plasma levels of 3α-diolG, ADTG, and DHTG in women with hyperandrogenic disorders primarily reflect adrenal androgen contributions rather than peripheral action, suggesting a potential index for treatment effectiveness.

In this study, administering dexamethasone rapidly normalized elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.

This review discusses inflammatory and medication-related skin conditions associated with kidney disease and emphasizes the importance of timely referral to nephrology, reporting no new clinical results.

This report of three cases found that diagnosing hypercortisolism during pregnancy can be challenging, but early detection using unbound steroid levels and MRI could prevent severe complications.
