This study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

This case report describes a 78-year-old male with adenocarcinoma and Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita, highlighting the need to consider malignancy in patients with unexplained excessive hair growth.

In this study, valproic acid treatment did not significantly affect serum biotinidase enzyme activity in children, but was associated with hair loss in some patients, which resolved with biotin supplementation.

This case report describes a patient with lamotrigine-associated drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome requiring prolonged and complex treatment, with observed complications including extensive alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroiditis.

This study found that a more liberal intake of restricted amino acids in patients with methylmalonic acidemia resulted in improved growth and fewer illness episodes.

This case study suggests that low leptin levels in obese hyperandrogenic postmenopausal women might indicate the presence of androgen-secreting tumors.

Women with pituitary adenomas often have reproductive issues, like irregular periods and trouble getting pregnant, but not always breast milk production without pregnancy.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

This case study reports a two and a half-month-old with biotinidase deficiency who showed rapid seizure improvement with biotin treatment after presenting with convulsions and neurological symptoms.

In this case study, a postmenopausal woman with symptoms of virilization was diagnosed with a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, and surgical removal led to a resolution of her hyperandrogenism and related symptoms, highlighting the importance of thorough differential diagnosis in postmenopausal hyperandrogenism.

Gestational diabetes increases risks for mothers and babies, needing early diagnosis and care.

This article reviews the need for multicenter clinical trials to establish reference data for ultrasound screening protocols for Down syndrome and reports no new findings.

This case report highlighted an instance of lichen spinulosus emerging as a new cutaneous sequela in a boy following toxic epidermal necrolysis, responding to treatment with ammonium lactate.

This study found that venous blood ammonia levels, particularly in patients taking valproate combined with other antiepileptic drugs, were significantly elevated compared to those on valproate alone.

This brief report discusses spironolactone used as a treatment for hirsutism in a hyperandrogenic woman, offering no new clinical findings and focusing on its antiandrogenic properties.

This case series observed that ovarian hyperthecosis can manifest with hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women, even when serum testosterone levels are below diagnostic thresholds, suggesting potential gaps in current diagnostic criteria.

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman with achalasia, pangastritis, and hyperthyroidism, highlighting the rare association between achalasia and autoimmune conditions like hyperthyroidism.

This case report describes an adolescent girl with polycystic ovarian syndrome and endogenously elevated androgen levels who developed a hepatic adenoma, suggesting a link between the two conditions.

This study reports that the symptoms and immunological findings in two children with diverse autoimmune-like conditions were ultimately attributed to lysinuric protein intolerance, confirmed by genetic analysis in one child.

In this case series, two cats with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism achieved clinical remission and normal thyroid function following timely diagnosis and targeted treatment with levothyroxine and methimazole, respectively.

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 case report describes three instances where occult ovarian Leydig cell tumors were suspected based on severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, despite negative imaging findings, highlighting that elevated testosterone levels are a crucial diagnostic marker.

This case report presents a 14-year-old girl with type A insulin resistance, illustrating diagnostic processes to differentiate it from type 2 diabetes in the context of pediatric obesity and hyperglycemia.

This study found that enalapril treatment reduced hematocrit levels in posttransplant erythrocytosis patients and increased transferrin saturation index and ferritin levels in those with iron deficiency among long-term renal transplant recipients.

This case report describes a patient with alopecia areata treated with diphencyprone, who experienced both successful hair regrowth and later intense hair shedding, compatible with telogen effluvium, suggesting a possible link between contact dermatitis treatments and telogen effluvium onset.

This study highlights a rare case of ovarian hyperthecosis in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, presenting with polycythemia and severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, with resolution of symptoms following laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.
