In this prospective case-control study, researchers found that women with any phenotype of polycystic ovary syndrome exhibited increased retinal nerve fiber layer and choroidal thickness compared to healthy controls, with changes correlated to body mass index.

This study conducted physical examinations on fifty women with hirsutism, focusing on virilization signs, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that in PCOS women, polycystic ovarian morphology is linked to more severe hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance, especially in those who are overweight or obese.

This study found that overweight women with polycystic ovary syndrome carrying the HSD3B1 1245C allele had an increased presence of female pattern hair loss compared to those with the wild-type genotype.

This review discusses central serous chorioretinopathy, detailing its etiology, associated factors, diagnostic imaging, and therapeutic options, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that both 0.01% and 0.03% bimatoprost gel and 2% minoxidil gel significantly improved eyebrow density in individuals with hypotrichosis, with no significant difference between the treatments, although the highest bimatoprost concentration showed a more favorable response.

This review highlights that hyperandrogenism is a crucial factor for diagnosing PCOS during adolescence, while traditional criteria like polycystic ovarian morphology may be misleading.

This case report described a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism whose symptoms improved after a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, revealing bilateral ovarian hyperthecosis.

In this study, researchers suggest that digital microscopy using visible light could offer a more objective approach to diagnosing hirsutism by quantifying terminal hair, with future research needed to assess its usefulness in women with the condition.

This review discusses the effects of mineralocorticoid receptor overexpression in mice skin, reporting no new data but highlighting its link to epidermal atrophy, early barrier formation, eye issues, and hair loss.

This study found that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, higher age, obesity, hirsutism, and having children were independently associated with increased metabolic risk.

This report discusses a case of an intradermal nevus in a 42-year-old woman and provides no clinical findings beyond a biopsy showing hyperkeratosis and cellular pigmentary changes.

This study found a significant correlation between metabolic syndrome components, particularly waist circumference and hypertension, and female pattern hair loss.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl whose allergic conjunctivitis went underdiagnosed and undertreated, resulting in poor prognosis due to the challenges associated with her young age and inability to verbally communicate symptoms.

In this study, hirsutism in women with PCOS was strongly associated with hyperandrogenism and metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not effective markers for hyperandrogenism.

This study suggested that differences in hair follicle development, indicated by the frequency of underdeveloped hairs, significantly contribute to the variation in hair loss severity among Japanese individuals with the LIPH c.736T>A mutation.

This review of periocular tinea in children found that eyelash loss and prolonged misdiagnosis are common, highlighting the need for considering fungal infections in cases refractory to standard treatments.

This review discusses adverse effects of cosmetic products and procedures on the ocular surface, including mild discomfort to severe vision-threatening conditions, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses risk factors for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, emphasizing tamsulosin and other α1 blockers, and underscores the importance of preoperative screening to mitigate surgical complications, but it reports no new results.

This study found that bimatoprost, when applied daily at a 0.03% concentration, promoted significant hair growth in C57/black 6 mice, including earlier and faster regrowth of shaved fur.

This study found that postadolescent males with acne vulgaris had a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to controls, but acne severity was not significantly associated with metabolic syndrome occurrence.

This study identified novel compound heterozygous mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with congenital hypotrichosis, suggesting overlap between localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis and monilethrix.

This retrospective study found that a hairline-lowering technique effectively advanced the female hairline by an average of 2.1 cm with high patient satisfaction and minimal complications over 20 years.

This study reports that periocular pigmentation may occur with the use of travoprost for treating alopecia areata of the eyelashes.

This study found that patients with the MITF p.E318K variant are more likely to develop multiple primary melanomas and dysplastic nevi with uncommon dermoscopic patterns compared to non-carriers.

This study found that the fuzzy mutation in mice is linked to both structural hair defects and accelerated hair follicle cycling, influencing the regulation of hair cycle phases such as catagen and anagen.

This study demonstrates that mouse eyelashes can effectively model human eyelash growth to analyze morphology, development, and the effects of growth-stimulatory agents like bimatoprost.

This study found that girls with polycystic ovary syndrome and longer SHBG and AR gene repeats experienced greater improvements in lipid and androgen levels after one year of metformin treatment.

This study identified specific genetic variants as the cause of visual impairment and non-syndromic alopecia in two brothers, reinforcing the link between PDE6H variants and achromatopsia and LPAR6 variants and alopecia.

This study suggests that idiopathic hirsutism may involve higher local androgen synthesis despite normal serum androgen levels, challenging its categorization as idiopathic.
