This review discusses female hyperandrogenism, detailing diagnostic criteria and treatment options without reporting new study results; it emphasizes improving health and quality of life for affected women.

In this case report, a 60-year-old woman with alopecia areata and type 1 diabetes experienced hypoglycemic seizures after starting baricitinib, though reducing the dose alleviated these episodes; the study highlights the need for caution and glucose monitoring when using JAK inhibitors in at-risk patients.

This case report describes a rare and atypical presentation of primary hypothyroidism with myxedema in a two-year-old boy, highlighting the importance of recognizing unusual symptoms for timely treatment.

This case report describes a woman with virilization syndrome who experienced a reduction in androgen levels and reversal of alopecia after removal of a Leydig cell tumor from her ovary.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

This case study reported that sudden hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women may indicate hormonally active ovarian tumors such as Leydig cell tumors, which can be effectively treated with surgery.

This case report suggests that isolated amylase deficiency can lead to failure to thrive in children, and pancreatic enzyme supplementation may improve associated symptoms.

This review discusses severe insulin resistance syndromes, highlighting their diagnostic challenges, potential novel therapies like leptin replacement, and suggests metformin and lifestyle changes in its absence; no new clinical results are reported.

This report details a case of extensive leukotrichia induced by dasatinib in a patient with refractory chronic myelogenous leukemia.

In this case report, purpura was associated with lithium treatment at therapeutic levels, highlighting the importance of monitoring for symptoms of intoxication even when lithium concentrations appear normal.

This case report describes a patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who developed hypertrichosis and eyelash trichomegaly, likely linked to cyclosporine-A and prednisolone therapy, with expected resolution after stopping treatment.

This case report describes a 60-year-old woman with an ovarian Leydig cell tumor leading to elevated testosterone levels and hirsutism, highlighting the need to consider androgen-secreting tumors in similar postmenopausal cases.

In this study, levothyroxine therapy showed no significant effect on blood sugar level changes in children with growth hormone deficiency in Saudi Arabia.

This case study reports that an infant with maple syrup urine disease developed acrodermatitis dysmetabolica due to low isoleucine levels, and increasing the isoleucine dose improved the condition.

This study reports that in women with non-tumor hyperandrogenism, a decrease in serum testosterone from insulin-sensitizing therapy like metformin may indicate a low likelihood of having an androgen-secreting tumor.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

This case study of a 2-month-old boy with maple syrup urine disease highlights the dangers of restricting branched-chain amino acid intake, as it led to acrodermatitis dysmetabolica-like skin eruptions and hair loss, later resolved with careful dietary adjustments and monitoring.

This study found that in overweight or obese women with PCOS and insulin resistance, those with lower baseline prolactin levels exhibited a greater decrease in insulin resistance after 6-8 months of metformin treatment, compared to those with higher prolactin levels.

This report presents two cases of Berardinelli–Seip syndrome, emphasizing the role of genetic analysis and comprehensive care in managing the variability and complications of this rare condition.

This case report describes a successful outcome for a fetus with a neck mass attributed to unnecessary maternal PTU treatment for transient hyperthyroidism, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and careful management.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

The woman's rare combination of diseases suggests an unknown factor may predispose individuals to multiple endocrine diseases.

This study observed that an overdose of levothyroxine in a hypothyroid infant led to rapid hair loss, which improved after reducing the medication dose.

In this case report, a 70-year-old woman with a history of autoimmune hypothyroidism experienced alternating hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism over a decade, highlighting the potential role of thyrotropin receptor autoantibodies in these fluctuations.

This study found that Ldh activity in hair follicle stem cell-mediated squamous cell carcinoma is not necessary for tumorigenesis, as its modulation did not affect the cancer's development or characteristics.

A woman experienced fluctuating thyroid conditions and eye disease, but her symptoms improved with treatment.

This study highlights emerging research on lactate's biological roles in skin health, emphasizing its function as a signaling molecule that regulates skin barrier and immunity, and notes its therapeutic potential for skin conditions such as tumors and inflammatory diseases.

This case report highlights a rare instance of severe multi-organ involvement following a single dose of methotrexate for ectopic pregnancy, requiring intensive care but ultimately successfully treated with leucovorin and supportive care.

This case report suggests that long-acting injectable risperidone may induce hirsutism in some patients, and clinicians should monitor for this potential side effect when prescribing this antipsychotic.
