This study suggests that individuals with severe sickle cell disease, indicated by higher hemoglobin S and ferritin levels, may have lower cortisol levels as shown by reduced hair cortisol content.

This study suggests that CTHRC1, a protein expressed in cardiac fibroblasts, may improve wound repair and prevent cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction by activating a specific signaling pathway.

This study developed a simple method to prepare highly concentrated, resting platelet-rich plasma suitable for cell therapy, effectively preventing clotting while maintaining platelet reactivity and minimizing hemorrhage risk.

This study found that post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium is strongly associated with elevated oxidative stress marker sRAGE and reduced antioxidant marker HO-1, suggesting potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring.

In this study of women with hirsutism or androgenic alopecia, diverse underlying endocrine disorders including polycystic ovaries and various enzyme deficiencies were detected, often associated with elevated testosterone levels.

This study found that oligo-amenorrhea/menstrual irregularity in women is associated with an increased risk of overall cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and myocardial infarction, while evidence linking hyperandrogenism or polycystic ovaries to cardiovascular disease remains mixed or unexplored.

This study found that total testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index may help distinguish menstrual irregularities from increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents.

This article reviews the history and challenges of warfarin use and suggests that monitoring genetic and environmental factors could improve individualized dosing and safety, but no new results are reported.

This study explored biochemical biomarkers in post-COVID-19 patients experiencing acute telogen effluvium, finding sex differences in blood characteristics and varying D-dimer levels by age, with elevated D-dimer showing correlations with inflammation markers.

This study found that renin and d-dimer levels were significantly higher in PCOS patients, particularly those also infected with COVID-19, compared to non-PCOS women.

This case report presents a young girl with both alopecia areata and immune thrombocytopenic purpura, suggesting a previously unreported association possibly involving cross-reactive antibodies between glycoproteins.

This study found no correlation between lipid markers and androgenetic alopecia severity, but noted a potential link between lower HDL levels and more severe alopecia in women.

This review discusses the mechanisms behind alopecia during anticoagulation therapy and current treatments but reports no new clinical results.

This study observed changes in the electrical and viscoelastic properties of erythrocytes, as well as hemostatic system activation, in women with alopecia following COVID-19 infection, potentially contributing to alopecia development and informing treatment strategies.

This systematic review identified several factors contributing to increased cardiovascular risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, including insulin resistance, obesity, inflammation markers, and microbiota alterations linked to elevated trimethylamine-N-oxide levels.

This study found that plasma cardiac troponin I levels were highest in subjects with alopecia areata, potentially indicating increased heart remodeling and a need for close cardiovascular monitoring in these individuals.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia patients exhibited more nailfold capillary abnormalities, suggesting a potential link between microcirculation issues and the condition.

In this study of women aged 18-45 from an endocrine referral group, researchers found that while clinical hirsutism severity is independently associated with biochemical hyperandrogenism, the relationship is modest and suggests different biological aspects are at play.

In this preclinical study, researchers found that combining equal ratios of high molecular weight keratin intermediate filaments and low molecular weight keratin-associated proteins from human hair led to the most extensive fibrinogen precipitation, suggesting potential for developing effective hair protein-based hemostatic materials.

This study found that improved testosterone measurement using LC-MS/MS in women with PCOS revealed a stronger correlation between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance than previously detected.

This case study highlights that vitamin B12 deficiency can cause reversible hyperpigmentation, illustrated by a vegetarian female patient whose skin lesions improved after treatment.

This case report describes Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in a patient without underlying conditions, occurring after pneumatic compression for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, with spontaneous resolution upon stopping compression.

This study found that women with androgenic alopecia had a higher prevalence of polycystic ovarian morphology and higher androgen levels compared to controls, suggesting a strong association with PCO.

In this study, women with PCOS were found to have higher BMI, insulin resistance, and homocysteine levels, which are key predictors of the condition.

In this study, the AA genotype of C2 polymorphism was more frequently observed in Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus than controls, indicating it may be a risk factor for the disease.

This case report highlights a 17-year-old girl with overlapping features of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura and systemic lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the critical importance of early diagnosis and intensive therapy including plasma exchange.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia exhibited higher levels of cardiovascular risk markers, with hs-CRP identified as a significant independent predictor of cardiovascular disease risk.

This review explores the similarities between polycystic ovary syndrome and hemochromatosis in terms of iron overload and suggests that addressing gut dysbiosis might help manage iron levels in these conditions.

This review discusses diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and highlights the challenges and risks of misdiagnosing women with other hyperandrogenism causes; it reports no clinical results.

This study found that women with symptoms of oligomenorrhoea and/or hirsutism are more likely to have polycystic ovaries and less favorable biochemical and clinical markers compared to asymptomatic women.
