This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher rates of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, with androgen excess contributing to the risk.

This study investigates the potential link between atrial fibrillation and circulating aldosterone levels related to cardiac fibrosis in patients with hypertension.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had a higher serum CRP/albumin ratio compared to healthy controls, and this elevation was linked to disease severity, indicating its potential as an inflammatory marker.

This case report describes a 36-year-old woman with hidradenitis suppurativa whose condition progressed to rapidly fatal squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the potential for aggressive tumor development linked to specific protein markers.

This study observed that patients with pemphigus have a higher incidence of hypothyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, and diabetes compared to the general population.

This study found that serum Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels are significantly elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and can serve as a useful biomarker for diagnosis, especially when ultrasonography is unavailable.

This study observed that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of triglycerides, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, total testosterone, DHEAS, and LH/FSH ratio, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to healthy controls, with these markers varying across different PCOS phenotypes.

This study found that premenopausal women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia may have increased cardiometabolic risk compared to healthy women.

In this case report, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

Hair loss may be linked to cardiovascular health problems.

In this study, researchers observed that hidradenitis suppurativa lesions were associated with reduced collagen and elastin, and increased neovascularization in areas with chronic inflammation.

PRO-C22 can help diagnose and monitor the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study found that in healthy individuals, TGF-β1 levels in platelet-rich plasma are significantly higher when extracted using the buffy coat method compared to the pure method, with additional gender differences observed only in the buffy coat PRP.

In this case-control study, researchers observed that vitamin B12 deficiency was significantly associated with diffuse hair loss and muco-cutaneous pigmentation in patients, suggesting these may serve as clinical markers for dermatologists to consider when diagnosing vitamin B12 deficiency.

This announcement in the Australasian Journal of Dermatology provides no new research findings or study results.

This study found that polymorphism of the SHBG gene (rs1799941) is associated with an increased risk of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Iraqi women.

This study found that 66% of apparently healthy volunteers had some abnormality on biochemical, hematological, or electrocardiographic testing, highlighting the need for pretreatment evaluations in clinical trials.

This review analyzes 873 cases of female hyperandrogenism, primarily attributing it to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and explores sample testing for suspected neoplasms but reports no new clinical findings.

In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This study presents a method using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify biotin in plasma and serum, and explores how high biotin intake can interfere with diagnostic immunoassays that utilize biotin-streptavidin technology, potentially leading to misdiagnosis of endocrine disorders.

This study found that brothers of women with PCOS exhibit elevated DHEAS levels, indicating a potential familial genetic trait, but did not show increased rates of premature balding.

This study suggests that reversible hypopigmentation in homocystinuric patients may result from tyrosinase inhibition by homocyst(e)ine, with in-vitro experiments showing copper sulfate reversing this inhibition.

This study highlights the increasing prevalence of hyperuricemia as a metabolic and vascular disorder due to lifestyle changes, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis of prehyperuricemia to prevent related non-communicable diseases and complications.

This study found that hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with increased serum levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, suggesting its role in the disease's pathogenesis and as a treatment target.

In this study, the researchers observed that subjects with alopecia areata had the highest plasma level of cardiac troponin I, followed by those with androgenetic alopecia, and the lowest levels in individuals without hair loss.

This study describes a co-dominant E410D mutation in keratin hHb6 associated with severe hair loss and extensive papules in homozygous individuals, with variable expression in heterozygous family members.

This case report highlights the need for early diagnosis and treatment of ovarian hyperthecosis to enhance the quality of life and health outcomes for affected patients.

This study found that approximately 75% of women with PCOS exhibited hyperandrogenemia, with free testosterone being the most frequently elevated marker.

In this study, patients with androgenetic alopecia showed no difference in insulin resistance or prevalence of metabolic syndrome but had higher cardiovascular risk due to increased inflammatory markers and lipoprotein(a) levels.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum homocysteine levels, which were positively correlated with BMI and smoking, suggesting it could be an early predictor for AGA diagnosis.
