The researchers reported a case of a 51-year-old woman with primary hypothyroidism who developed anaphylaxis to intravenous levothyroxine after being unresponsive to oral formulations, highlighting potential allergic reactions to IV treatments in such patients.

This article describes a case of severe hyperandrogenism in a 35-year-old woman where high-resolution imaging ruled out tumors, and treatment with cyproterone acetate normalized testosterone levels.

In this study with diabetic rats, the researchers found that combining Amoxicillin/Clavulanate with metformin may enhance the glucose-lowering effects of metformin, without affecting cholesterol, triglycerides, or certain electrolytes.

This study found that glycolytic metabolism and lactate production are crucial for hair follicle stem cell activation, and manipulating these processes can stimulate the hair cycle.

This study reports that the Swedish newborn screening program for phenylketonuria, galactosaemia, and biotinidase deficiency is effective, with high sensitivity and specificity, and lower false positive rates compared to other countries, while genetic variants impact detection and incidence patterns in Sweden.

This review provides an overview of the prevalence and management of side effects of mood-stabilizing drugs in bipolar disorder patients and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 45-year-old man with a pituitary macroadenoma whose symptoms and tumor size improved significantly after one month of treatment with cabergoline.

This case series highlights the real-world challenges and experiences of US healthcare providers using pegvaliase for phenylketonuria treatment, emphasizing patient education on adverse events and dietary changes, and tailored titration schedules, while reporting that most patients achieved treatment efficacy despite initial adverse events.

This case report describes the rare association of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor and primary hyperparathyroidism in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting the importance of considering rare causes in patients with virilizing symptoms.

This study found that holding abatacept infusions for four weeks or longer before elective hip or knee arthroplasty did not reduce the risk of post-operative infections or readmissions.

This case report describes the effective use of spironolactone for hirsutism in a patient with porphyria cutanea tarda.

Lactium, a milk protein, can help reduce symptoms of skin disorders linked to stress and anxiety without side effects.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

This case report highlights that celiac disease may cause levothyroxine malabsorption in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and a gluten-free diet can lead to improvement in thyroid hormone absorption.

This case report suggests that systemic lupus erythematosus can be a rare cause of severe hypercalcemia, potentially due to stimulating parathyroid hormone receptor autoantibodies.

This case series reports three cats diagnosed with hypersomatotropism due to GH-secreting pituitary adenomas without concurrent diabetes mellitus, highlighting the potential for underdiagnosis in non-diabetic cats.

A liquid protein diet caused hair loss in a young woman.

The study found that prolactin expressed in human scalp hair follicles acts as an autocrine modulator, inhibiting hair growth and promoting hair follicle regression, which may contribute to hair loss in hyper-prolactinemia patients.

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 study observed that discontinuing risperidone reduced elevated prolactin levels and improved hair thinning in a 77-year-old woman, suggesting risperidone-associated telogen effluvium as a consideration in similar cases.

This case report describes a 50-year-old woman who developed drug-induced hepatitis after using spironolactone for androgenetic alopecia, with symptoms resolving upon discontinuation.

This case report describes a 65-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism caused by a non-malignant ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which is a rare cause of virilization.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus and hypothalamic hypopituitarism due to a Rathke's cleft cyst.

This study found that maternal caffeine intake during gestation and lactation can lead to skin lesions like hypotrichosis and alopecia in both mother and offspring rats, irrespective of maternal cortisol levels.

This review explores potential indications for prolactin receptor inhibitors beyond breast and prostate cancers, emphasizing the need for potent antibodies to further research prolactin receptor expression.

This case study reports that medical imaging of the ovaries may not always conclusively identify the cause of postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, as demonstrated by a patient with a rare condition.

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.

In this letter, excessive hair loss due to telogen effluvium was observed as a distressing side effect in the early months of valproate treatment, potentially linked to disruption in biotin metabolism, although the exact mechanism remains unclear.

In this study, metformin improved BMI, menstrual regularity, and symptoms of hyperandrogenism in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, but did not enhance glycemic control.
