This case report describes a young woman with an adrenal oncocytic tumor of uncertain malignant potential, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance due to possible malignancy.

This study found that hair cortisol levels in black-tailed prairie dogs, influenced by factors like predation risk and lactation, were associated with reproductive success, supporting the Cort-Adaptation hypothesis.

This review discusses nonclassical 21-hydroxylase deficiency as the most common autosomal recessive disorder in humans and highlights the effectiveness of glucocorticoid treatment in reversing related symptoms.

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.

Hyperandrogenism in women often causes acne and excess hair, treatable with lifestyle changes and medications.

This study found that hair cortisol concentrations in sheep were significantly increased by extensive brushing or dexamethasone treatment, suggesting that external factors may affect its reliability as a chronic stress measure.

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

This review discusses the clinical features, genetics, and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency, a common type of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and reports no new research findings.

In this study, a 7-year-old male ferret was diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism complicated by dilatative cardiomyopathy, chronic active hepatitis, and renal disease, following symptoms including progressive hair loss and severe dehydration.

In this case report, a 10-year-old girl with an adrenal adenoma experienced symptoms like hirsutism and clitoromegaly; after surgical removal of the tumor, her symptoms and biochemical abnormalities resolved over several months.

This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, focusing on its diagnosis, differential diagnoses, and individualized treatment approaches to improve patient health and quality of life, and reports no clinical results.

This study found a partial positive association between adulthood stressor exposure and hair cortisol levels, but noted inconsistent results across two studies, reflecting variability seen in previous research.

This case report describes a patient with an ovarian steroid cell tumor that initially presented as non-classical adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the difficulty in differential diagnosis with hyperandrogenism and the importance of close clinical monitoring.

This study found evidence suggesting that hypertrichosis may be an adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids in children, although it does not always resolve after stopping treatment.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing different causes of adult androgen excess and outlines current screening and management strategies but reports no new findings.

In this case report, a 14-year-old cat was diagnosed with both hyperaldosteronism and hyperprogesteronism linked to a large adrenal tumor, highlighting the importance for clinicians to consider these concurrent conditions in similar cases.

This article reviews the clinical complications and increased mortality risks associated with Cushing's syndrome but does not present new clinical data; it emphasizes the need for prompt treatment to mitigate these risks.

In this study, a novel mutation in the glucocorticoid receptor gene was identified in a young woman, impairing glucocorticoid signaling and leading to generalized glucocorticoid resistance.

This review discusses how ophthalmic findings can reveal key endocrine disorders and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the eye's role in diagnosing and managing systemic diseases like diabetes and Graves' ophthalmopathy.

This review examines the evaluation and management of hirsutism and hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women and reports no new clinical findings.

This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This review highlights that children with adrenal disorders may experience neurological and psychiatric symptoms, with potential long-term cognitive and behavioral effects from excess glucocorticoids.

This study reported that pulverizing hair samples significantly improves the precision of testosterone measurement, with higher testosterone concentrations observed in men than in women.

This abstract is incomplete and does not provide new research findings or conclusions.

This study systematically compared pediatric and adult Cushing's disease patients, revealing more severe and earlier-onset symptoms in males, and distinct gender-specific clinical manifestations.

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.

This case report discusses a patient with VHL-associated paraganglioma, highlighting the importance of genetic testing and monitoring in those with VHL disease, due to high mutation penetrance and associated risks.

In this study, researchers identified a novel genetic variant in the NR3C1 gene in a mother and her son that predicts a truncated protein, leading to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome with mild hyperandrogenic features, although no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established.

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.
