In this case report, a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of her hyperandrogenism after detailed hormonal and imaging investigations, which was successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to symptom improvement and normalized testosterone levels.

This case report details an 80-year-old woman with circle hair potentially linked to acquired ichthyosis from multiple myeloma, where a prescribed topical treatment led to clinical improvement.

This study demonstrates that warming hands can restore normal blood flow in patients with systemic sclerosis, making their response to cooling similar to that of healthy controls.

This study found that temporary or permanent leukotrichia may occur after intense pulsed light therapy for hair removal, likely due to differing thermal effects on melanocytes and hair follicle cells.

This review describes the various cutaneous manifestations of essential thrombocythemia and how treatments like hydroxycarbamide, interferon-alfa, and anagrelide may lead to skin complications, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study suggests that selective photothermolysis of sebaceous glands using free electron laser pulses may offer a novel approach to treating acne by causing targeted thermal damage without affecting the epidermis.

This study reported common skin changes and symptoms associated with thyroid disorders, such as dry skin in hypothyroidism and warm, soft skin in hyperthyroidism, and noted urticaria as a frequent autoimmune association in hypothyroid patients.

This study found that the novel dermal cooling system was an effective and safe treatment for reducing pigmentation in benign pigmented lesions in Asian patients, with minimal side effects.

This study found that phototherapy was more effective for patients with the multiple or totalis types of alopecia areata, with whole-body phototherapy potentially benefiting those with refractory universalis type.

This review examined photothermal hydrogels, biomedically innovative materials responsive to near-infrared stimulation, which hold promise for enhancing infection control and tissue regeneration. The authors highlighted their unique properties, construction methods, and potential applications while also discussing existing challenges and future research directions.

Intense pulsed light with radiofrequency showed mixed results in improving quality of life for hidradenitis suppurativa patients, with no clinical improvements.

Some people have severe allergic reactions to anthelminthic drugs, but these are often due to the parasites, not the drugs.

This study presents two adolescent cases of ovarian hyperthecosis, a rare cause of severe hyperandrogenism, highlighting management strategies involving gonadotropin suppression and hormone replacement after excluding androgen-producing adrenal and ovarian tumors.

This case report describes a rare instance of dermographic urticaria triggered by an 810 nm diode laser for hair removal, with symptoms managed effectively by pre-treatment with levocetirizine.

The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.

This article reviews the biological and physical principles of laser hair removal and reports that current laser systems do not consistently achieve permanent hair follicle destruction across treated areas.

This case report highlights two instances of suspected human herpesvirus 6 reactivation in patients with existing psychiatric disorders, underscoring the need for further research into the relationship between viral reactivation and psychiatric conditions.

This case report highlights that in severe illnesses like sepsis, myxedema coma can occur with less elevated TSH levels than typical for primary hypothyroidism, likely due to inflammatory cytokines affecting TSH secretion, even when central lesions are absent.

This study found that specific and nonspecific skin changes can serve as important indicators for diagnosing thyroid diseases, even in patients who appear clinically normal.

This case study reported hyperandrogenism in non-obese triplet sisters with one sister's hyperthyroidism masking its clinical and biochemical signs until treatment increased her androgen levels and hirsutism.

This report presents two cases where dermatologists identified internal malignancies—small cell lung cancer and stage IIB cervical cancer—through paraneoplastic skin manifestations.

This article reviews skin toxicities caused by radiation in metastatic cancer patients and discusses preventive measures, highlighting that current interventions lack robust supporting data.

This study reported that cortisone, testosterone, and thyroxine replacement therapy increased energy and hair growth, while decreasing cold sensitivity, in the absence of tumor recurrence.

In this case study, a 19-year-old woman with Henoch-Schönlein purpura, potentially triggered by hepatitis B vaccination, experienced improved symptoms after correcting low vitamin D levels and undergoing tonsillectomy, demonstrating these interventions may benefit similar patients.

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 case report, a 70-year-old woman with a history of autoimmune hypothyroidism experienced alternating hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism over a decade, highlighting the potential role of thyrotropin receptor autoantibodies in these fluctuations.

In this study, captive gray seals exhibited increased resting metabolic rates and elevated thyroid hormone levels during the final stage of molting, with more pronounced changes in juveniles.

A 73-year-old woman's unusual hair loss and growth led to the discovery of a rare condition causing too much testosterone, which improved after her ovaries were removed.

This study describes a postmenopausal woman's diagnosis with ovarian hyperthecosis, confirmed by a GnRHa test normalizing testosterone, highlighting hormone therapy as a therapeutic option when surgery is not feasible.
