In this case study, authors reported that a 43-year-old female patient initially showed persistently high testosterone levels due to immunoassay interference, later verified as normal using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), highlighting the need to consider assay artifacts in diagnosing hyperandrogenism without clinical signs.

This study found that certain plasma protein ratios, specifically AGRN/HSPG2 and DECR1/FKBP1B, were significantly associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata, indicating potential causal relationships but reverse causality was not supported.

This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

This chapter discusses androgen receptors and protein synthesis in the prostate, reporting that DHT-dependent receptor protein translocation increases protein-synthesizing activity after androgen injection in rat models.

This case report describes a rare instance where a child with nonketotic hyperglycinemia developed an acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption, likely due to combined zinc and branched chain amino acid deficiencies.

The study found that women with hyperandrogenic PCOS have higher levels of AKT1 and AKT2 proteins in their cells, which may lead to cell dysfunction.

This case report describes severe hypothyroidism exacerbated by nephrotic syndrome in a 62-year-old woman, with a diagnosis of membranous nephropathy linked to significant proteinuria.

This study suggests that young women with low prolactin levels may face higher cardiometabolic risk, and reducing cabergoline dosage reversed related metabolic disturbances.

This article discusses the case of a patient on long-term renal dialysis with high serum vitamin A levels likely due to inadequate removal during dialysis, highlighting the need to reassess vitamin A supplementation in such patients.

This case report describes proguanil-related hematologic toxicity in a patient on peritoneal dialysis, suggesting that this malaria prophylaxis should be avoided in chronic kidney disease due to proguanil accumulation.

This study concluded that PCOS patients, regardless of weight, have significantly lower serum amylin levels than healthy BMI-matched controls, while serum preptin levels did not vary significantly between groups.

This article reviews current therapies for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in chronic pancreatitis, highlighting the challenges in achieving optimal enzyme dosing and the potential need for treatment even in asymptomatic patients.

This article reports a case of rhabdomyolysis in a patient two hours after consuming the freshwater fish Mylossoma duriventre, suggesting a possible link to Haff disease from an unidentified toxin.

This study found that while micronutrient abnormalities are common among patients receiving home parenteral nutrition, serious consequences from these abnormalities are rare.

This article discusses a serious side effect associated with a potentially widely used cosmetic product but reports no new experimental results.

This case report describes an 8-year-old Russian Blue cat with bilateral adrenal carcinomas secreting high levels of progesterone, showing symptoms similar to hypercortisolism.

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

This study presents a case of a 24-year-old man who developed mild transaminitis and rhabdomyolysis within 24 hours of starting valproic acid for seizures, with symptom resolution following drug cessation.

This case study describes a six-month-old boy diagnosed with Netherton syndrome, featuring ichthyosiform erythroderma and alopecia, possibly linked to aminoaciduria.

In this study, pemphigus vulgaris patients treated with high-dose prednisolone developed symptoms similar to those seen in corticosteroma, such as weight gain and muscle weakness, with increased risks of arterial hypertension and glucose metabolism disorders after 6 months of therapy.

This case report describes an infant with congenital hyperinsulinism linked to a genetic mutation in the ABCC8 gene, illustrating challenges in managing persistent hypoglycemia despite medical interventions, leading to a near-total pancreatectomy.

This study found that in patients with AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing targeted therapy, a positive serum albumin change rate was significantly associated with better treatment outcomes, suggesting the value of dynamic albumin monitoring and nutritional support during treatment.

Higher CRP levels suggest chronic inflammation is linked to bladder-related urinary symptoms in men with enlarged prostates.

This study found that Epiprofin acts as a negative regulator of parathyroid hormone transcription, with potential implications for controlling PTH production in hyperparathyroidism.

This study suggests that feeding pregnant mares protein blocks with urea is as effective as hand-fed protein supplements in supporting hair follicle development and protein status.

In this case report, a 14-year-old girl with nephrotic syndrome developed large edematous striae distensae due to high-dose steroid use and rapid body size increase from edema fluid accumulation.

In this study, 48% of women with androgenetic alopecia showed hypothyroidism or hyperprolactinemia after TRH stimulation, suggesting these conditions may influence androgen metabolism and contribute to hair loss.

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 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.
