This study found that the severity of female pattern hair loss in premenopausal women was associated with clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, but not with biochemical parameters.

This case report describes a 34-year-old woman with pituitary stalk interruption syndrome, highlighting the need for long-term follow-up due to potential progression from isolated hormonal deficiencies to pan-hypopituitarism.

In this case study, the patient increased daily calorie intake and added resistance training, resulting in a 35% increase in resting metabolism and a 5-pound loss of body fat over six weeks.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing and managing hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation of both clinical signs and biochemical markers without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that the most likely cause of hypercalcemia in a patient with symptoms of hypervitaminosis A and a history of chronic vitamin A ingestion was vitamin A toxicity.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This case report illustrates that false-positive antibodies for Ehrlichia species may occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, complicating diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that genes encoding mouse high-glycine/tyrosine proteins show distinct spatial and temporal expression patterns in hair follicles, suggesting diverse protein distribution during hair growth cycles.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with an adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary, whose symptoms and hormone levels improved significantly after surgical removal of the tumor.

This study found that plasma protein binding significantly contributes to the shifts in glucocorticosteroid concentration ratios among blood, saliva, and hair, challenging prior assumptions about enzyme inactivation as the main factor.

This article reviews the endocrine changes in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, highlighting hypoleptinemia as a potential mediator, but does not present any new clinical results.

This study explored proteomics to investigate protein changes during protein synthesis and keratinization in maturing wool fiber, but the relationship to fibre development remains largely unknown.

In this study, a syndrome of zinc deficiency was observed in adults receiving intravenous feeding, with zinc supplementation improving symptoms except for delayed hair regrowth.

This study found that men with early-onset androgenic alopecia are less responsive to the cardiometabolic effects of bromocriptine compared to men with normal hair growth.

This study found that repeated plateletpheresis had no significant effect on whole blood cells and plasma proteins in donors, maintaining levels within a normal range.

This case report details an instance of acute kidney injury associated with increased oxalate levels likely due to systemic absorption of glycolic acid from hair straightening agents, exacerbated by untreated psoriasis.

In this study, hyperandrogenemia was observed in 78.2% of Greek women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with testosterone being the most commonly elevated androgen and acne the most frequent clinical feature.

This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study reported a 34-year-old woman presenting with secondary amenorrhea, hirsutism, and obesity showed elevated testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone levels, leading to the exclusion of nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia as a diagnosis.

This article reviews the challenges in studying keratin proteins and emphasizes the potential of modern proteomic techniques to advance their research, but it reports no new findings.

This study found that oral collagen peptides increased the expression of genes related to epidermal and hair cycle development in hairless mouse skin.

This study found higher serum prolactin levels in patients with psoriasis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata compared to controls, and prolactin levels correlated with disease severity in psoriasis and alopecia areata but not vitiligo.

This case report describes a boy with hypothalamic hamartoma experiencing pubertas precox and gelastic seizures, where leuprorelin therapy's effect on pubertas precox was controversial, but valproic acid effectively managed gelastic seizures.

This case report highlights how persistent hyperphosphatemia, albeit often overlooked, can precede clinical acromegaly symptoms in women, complicating diagnosis due to overlapping features with oral contraceptive use and polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, researchers found that serum granulysin levels might serve as a novel marker for disease activity in acute alopecia areata, being significantly associated with broader bald skin areas, poorer prognosis, and co-existing allergic disorders.

This letter discusses the inadequacies of current fiber analysis methods and definitions, highlighting the significant differences between crude fiber and dietary fiber but does not provide new research findings.

In this study, plasma levels of MSH and cortisol in patients with alopecia areata did not show significant changes compared to healthy controls.

This case study describes two postmenopausal women with severe androgen excess symptoms, diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis and stromal hyperplasia, emphasizing the challenges in differentiating these benign conditions from androgen-secreting tumors and the importance of surgical and histopathological evaluation for correct diagnosis and management.

This study found that hair proteomics may serve as a promising, non-invasive biomarker source for stress-associated psychopathology, showing high accuracy in distinguishing patients with non-suicidal self-injury disorder from healthy controls.

This research highlights dermatologists' concerns about the widespread use of sports supplements, noting that nutritional supplements associated with muscle-building and appearance enhancement can lead to dermatological issues like acne and alopecia, while potentially containing harmful substances such as undisclosed anabolic steroids.
