In this case report, a rare association between Cushing's syndrome caused by ectopic ACTH from cervical cancer is documented, highlighting the diagnostic challenges, treatment complexity, and high morbidity and mortality, with the patient succumbing to septic shock post-surgery.

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

This case report describes a 30-year-old male with a late diagnosis of Kallmann's syndrome, highlighting the necessity of hormonal therapy to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures despite the patient's acceptance of his physical appearance.

This study found that 76.19% of patients with acquired hypoparathyroidism had mucocutaneous manifestations, with common features including loss of hair and xerotic skin.

In this case report, an embryonal cell carcinoma of the testicle was associated with polycythemia and markedly elevated hormone levels without secondary sexual characteristics, which were restored after treatment.

This case report describes a 60-year-old man with a rare 46, XX karyotype who presented with cerebellar infarct and polycythaemia, leading to further endocrine investigations after adrenal gland enlargement was found.

This case study reports the rare occurrence of widespread soft-tissue calcification in a young patient with SLE, suggesting that 99mTe-phosphate compounds could help diagnose this complication.

This report presents two cases where dermatologists identified internal malignancies—small cell lung cancer and stage IIB cervical cancer—through paraneoplastic skin manifestations.

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.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This report is the first to associate Cronkhite-Canada syndrome with multiple myeloma, describing regenerative pseudopolyps in a 58-year-old woman rather than true adenomatous polyps.

This case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, reporting a patient with androgenic alopecia and high testosterone due to a benign Leydig cell tumor in the ovary; surgery successfully normalized testosterone levels.

This case report highlights that in severe illnesses like sepsis, myxedema coma can occur with less elevated TSH levels than typical for primary hypothyroidism, likely due to inflammatory cytokines affecting TSH secretion, even when central lesions are absent.

This case study describes an extremely rare instance of androgen-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma in a patient with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

In this study, researchers reported significantly higher serum calprotectin levels in alopecia areata patients compared to controls and that these levels were associated with the disease's severity, type, duration, and nail involvement, suggesting calprotectin as a potential marker for inflammation in these patients.

This study demonstrated radiocalcium uptake in skin, eye, cartilage, and mucous glands, with the highest concentration in the hair follicle's keratogenous zone.

This study found that normalizing mineral ion levels in vitamin D receptor-ablated mice prevented hyperparathyroidism, rickets, and osteomalacia, but alopecia persisted, indicating a separate role for the receptor in hair growth.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

This case report presents a rare instance of recurrent ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to PBMAH, coinciding with the development of a pheochromocytoma, highlighting the need for thorough reevaluation in similar recurring cases.

This study found that NGAL expression increased in calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation in vitro and was highly elevated in psoriasis-like skin conditions and skin cancers, suggesting a role in skin hyperplasia and homeostasis.

This article reviews the essential role of vitamin D in bone health and its various clinical applications but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the case of a patient on long-term renal dialysis with high serum vitamin A levels likely due to inadequate removal during dialysis, highlighting the need to reassess vitamin A supplementation in such patients.

This case report describes ALP elevation in a patient with severe OA that normalized after bilateral knee replacements, highlighting a potential link between OA and ALP levels.

This article discusses the potential for hypervitaminosis A in patients with chronic renal disease undergoing dialysis, highlighting the risks associated with low-dose vitamin A supplementation, and reports no new clinical results.

This article compares two rare genetic diseases, vitamin D-dependent rickets type 1 and type 2, focusing on their similar presentations of hypocalcemia and rickets in infancy, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study details a 56-year-old man with initial misdiagnosed Addison's disease who was later found to have hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and secondary hypothyroidism.

This case report describes how a 68-year-old woman's hyperandrogenic symptoms improved and testosterone levels normalized after the surgical removal of an occult Leydig cell tumour.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with severe hypercortisolism developed acute adrenal insufficiency after starting ketoconazole treatment, highlighting the need for cautious dosing and close monitoring of adrenal function, particularly in patients with prior glucocorticoid exposure.

This article reviews the role and clinical applications of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and parathyroid hormone-related peptide in dermatology, with a focus on psoriasis treatment, and reports no new experimental findings.
