This study reports that the Swedish newborn screening program for phenylketonuria, galactosaemia, and biotinidase deficiency is effective, with high sensitivity and specificity, and lower false positive rates compared to other countries, while genetic variants impact detection and incidence patterns in Sweden.

This study found that glycated proteins in untreated scalp hair may serve as a non-invasive marker for blood glucose control, but its applicability is limited by factors like cosmetic treatments and sample collection challenges.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing human H-ferritin showed mild growth retardation and a temporary hairless phenotype, highlighting H-ferritin's physiological roles.

This study found that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist therapy was independently associated with an increased incidence of non-scarring hair loss, including telogen effluvium and androgenic alopecia, in adults but not alopecia areata.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher insulin resistance and lower serum high-molecular weight adiponectin, which may play a role in the condition's pathogenesis.

This article discusses the various clinical manifestations of kwashiorkor, resulting from severe protein malnutrition, and reports no new research findings.

The GH-IGF-I axis is likely involved in the hormonal imbalances seen in non-obese women with functional hyperandrogenism.

This case report describes a patient with ectopic Cushing's syndrome who experienced fatal complications from COVID-19, highlighting the challenges in managing such patients due to immune response alterations from endogenous hypercortisolemia.

This study shows that measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone concentrations in scalp hair may be a useful noninvasive tool for monitoring treatment in adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This case study highlights the challenges of diagnosing hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women, reporting a patient with androgenic alopecia and high testosterone due to a benign Leydig cell tumor in the ovary; surgery successfully normalized testosterone levels.

This study found that testosterone-enanthate increased red blood cell production and altered iron homeostasis in older hypogonadal men without being affected by finasteride, indicating these effects do not require type II 5α-reductase enzyme activity.

This case study describes a 36-year-old woman with a history of recurrent limb weakness linked to hypokalemia and later diagnosed with Cushing syndrome indicated by elevated cortisol levels and a pituitary mass, which was treated with surgery and radiosurgery.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome and benign prostatic hyperplasia compared to those without the condition.

This study suggests that glycation of hair proteins in diabetic patients may serve as a useful indicator of long-term blood glucose trends and associations with diabetic complications.

This study observed that women with PCOS from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had significantly higher serum PSA levels, which positively correlated with hirsutism, testosterone, and DHEAS levels compared to healthy controls.

PRO-C22 can help diagnose and monitor the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa.

This case report describes ALP elevation in a patient with severe OA that normalized after bilateral knee replacements, highlighting a potential link between OA and ALP levels.

In this study, transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene were highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, leading to severe liver changes and high mortality rates after treatment.

This study, conducted on 17 dogs with hyperadrenocorticism in Germany, concluded that while common symptoms like polyuria and polydipsia were observed in all cases, clinical signs and blood parameters did not significantly correlate with diagnostic test results for the condition.

This case report documented a 32-year-old man's acute pancreatitis following an overdose of finasteride, highlighting the potential for rare but severe side effects from the drug in overdose situations, and suggesting a need for further research into its safety.

This case report highlights a severe kidney injury linked to the combined use of ciclosporin and simvastatin in a patient treated for alopecia universalis.

This study found that elevated beta-hydroxybutyrate levels may worsen the inflammatory immune response in alopecia areata patients and could indicate a poor prognosis with chronic hair loss.

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 letter highlights that septicemia or bacteremic shock can be a complication of enemas in elderly men with prostate infections.

This study suggests that analyzing the composition and modifications of hair proteins may provide new biomarkers for assessing hair health, diseases, and aging.

This case study reports an Asian female with congenital adrenal hyperplasia presenting atypically with polymenorrhagia, who showed improvement with oral dexamethasone, despite no change in hirsutism or clitoromegaly.

This study suggests hair diameter may indicate protein status in children if the sampling location on the head is controlled, noting inconsistencies in past research.

This study developed a rapid method to extract proteins from human hair, revealing phosphorylation on serine and threonine residues in alpha-keratins and matrix proteins.

This case report describes a British toddler diagnosed with Kwashiorkor, highlighting that such malnutrition-related disorders are rare in developed countries due to strong socio-economic support systems.

In this study, a deproteinized bone mineral showed potential to increase DHT production, suggesting an anabolic effect on human periosteal fibroblasts with possible implications for wound healing.
