This review describes two cases of young women with primary amenorrhea and hyperandrogenemia, suggesting that adrenal tumors should be considered in patients with significantly elevated circulating testosterone levels.

This article discusses various causes of hyperandrogenism in women and highlights diagnostic considerations for conditions such as PCOS, NCCAH, Cushing's disease, and androgen-secreting tumors, without reporting new clinical results.

This case report details a diagnostic challenge in a postmenopausal woman with severe hyperandrogenism where distinguishing between adrenal and ovarian causes was complicated by elevated 17-OH Progesterone and asymmetric ovarian enlargement; pending surgical pathology is expected to guide further management.

This study demonstrated that a newly developed polypeptide-protein hydrogel with vascularization and antibacterial properties promoted tissue regeneration and hair follicle formation in infected wound healing.

This study found that MDP hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing and improved tissue formation in diabetic mice compared to a standard clinical hydrogel and control buffer.

This article reviews the clinical complications and increased mortality risks associated with Cushing's syndrome but does not present new clinical data; it emphasizes the need for prompt treatment to mitigate these risks.

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.

This review highlights how diabetes affects stem and progenitor cells through altered signaling and homeostasis, impacting tissue function and complicating diabetic therapy efforts; new clinical results are not presented.

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 describes a functional disorder in the ovary, known as stromal hyperplasia, characterized by the proliferation of ovarian stroma and luteinization of stromal cells, which is linked to excessive androgen production and elevated testosterone levels.

This study observed that insulin-dependent diabetes induces specific molecular changes in the keratin structure of hair, potentially offering a new way to study diabetic complications through easily accessible tissues.

This study found that total testosterone, DHEA-S, and free androgen index may help distinguish menstrual irregularities from increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents.

This case report identifies necrolytic migratory erythema associated with a glucagonoma in a 40-year-old man, presenting with distinct skin lesions, weight loss, and diarrhea.

This case report describes an obese young adolescent girl with PCOS who presented with high testosterone levels and severe hyperinsulinemia, successfully treated with continuous combined oral contraceptives.

This case report describes a 69-year-old man diagnosed with stage 3 acute kidney injury secondary to new IgG kappa light chain multiple myeloma, where treatment with bortezomib-based therapy showed potential for kidney function salvage.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with severe hyperandrogenaemia linked to both an ovarian androgen-secreting tumor and HAIR-AN syndrome, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing polycystic ovarian syndrome.

This article discusses the FDA's decision not to approve 5α-reductase inhibitors for prostate cancer prevention, citing an increase in high-grade tumors but no mortality evidence, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the importance of androgen production and metabolism in hyperandrogenism, the use of specific serum markers for diagnosis, and the need for improved assays for clinical testing, but reports no new results.

This study found that in female dogs, exposure to free fatty acids increased androgen production, suggesting a potential link to factors characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study measured plasma testosterone glucosiduronate levels and found no overlap in those with hyperandrogenism compared to normal females, despite normal testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in half of the affected patients.

This study established a mouse model for Cushing's syndrome due to a specific Crh mutation, which may help explore the effects of glucocorticoid excess and evaluate treatments for corticosteroid-induced osteoporosis.

Hair glycation can indicate long-term blood sugar trends in diabetics.

This study developed a simple method to prepare highly concentrated, resting platelet-rich plasma suitable for cell therapy, effectively preventing clotting while maintaining platelet reactivity and minimizing hemorrhage risk.

This report describes a rare case of elevated serum DHEAS levels in a postmenopausal woman, linked to an ovarian sex cord-stromal tumor rather than the adrenal glands, challenging common assumptions about androgen sources.

This article reviews the challenges of fasting and dietary regimens in producing sustained weight loss and reports no new research findings or results.

This article discusses the potential role of oral DHEA, available as a 'dietary supplement' in the US, in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, calling for clinical trials to assess its safety.

This case report examines the long-term impact of extensive anabolic-androgenic steroid use on metabolic and cardiovascular health, highlighting adverse effects to guide primary care for this patient group.

In this study, treating prolactinoma with cabergoline normalized prolactin levels and affected some androgen-related parameters, but did not significantly improve hirsutism in affected women.

This article discusses the potential use of hair fibers to noninvasively measure polyamine concentrations as a marker of tumor growth, but reports no new clinical findings.

A rare pancreatic tumor caused a woman's male-like features, treated successfully with surgery and medication.
