In this case report, a 10-year-old girl with an adrenal adenoma experienced symptoms like hirsutism and clitoromegaly; after surgical removal of the tumor, her symptoms and biochemical abnormalities resolved over several months.

This review details the prevalence and management of ejaculatory disorders in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia-related urinary symptoms and highlights the importance of preserving peri-montanal tissue during treatment to maintain antegrade ejaculation.

In this study, researchers used a hypospadiac rat model to demonstrate abnormal genital development, similar to human penoscrotal hypospadias, highlighting the model's value for studying penile growth and differentiation.

This article reviews the potential of combining antiandrogenic and antiestrogenic treatments for BPH, highlighting aromatase inhibitors, but presents no new clinical results; further research is needed.

In this case study, researchers observed that steroidogenesis from adrenal androgens in prostate cancer tissues may explain progression in a 74-year-old man with low circulating testosterone.

This study found that lower urinary tract symptoms in older men with benign prostatic hyperplasia negatively impact sexual function and mental health, suggesting the importance of early intervention to improve quality of life.

This study reports the first case of ovarian mature cystic teratoma linked to clinical virilization due to ectopic testosterone production, possibly from overexpression of the enzyme HSD17B5.

This article reviews the role of hormones in human penis development and associated conditions due to hormonal imbalances, but reports no new findings, suggesting hormone replacement can manage some conditions.

In this study, testosterone treatment was found to increase blood pressure in rats, potentially through mechanisms involving sodium and water retention in the kidneys and changes in specific gene expressions in the brain.

This study identified distinct differences between mature and immature hypertrophic scars of the head and neck, with immature scars showing higher TGF-β expression and more pronounced inflammatory reactions.

BPH treatment improved with personalized medicine, new drugs, and less invasive surgeries.

This case report illustrates a rare instance of mixed germ cell tumor in the pituitary with hyperandrogenism, emphasizing the importance of thorough examination and hormone evaluation in identifying hormonal dysfunctions.

This study suggests that skin tumor cells in tuberous sclerosis complex may promote hamartoma morphogenesis by expressing and releasing higher levels of cathepsin B.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study demonstrates that human epidermal stem cells can adapt to environmental temperature changes through mTOR signaling, and prolonged inhibition of mTORC1 supports stem cell maintenance, which may be vital for regenerative medicine.

This letter to the editor references a study on using dihydrotestosterone gel before hypospadias surgery but itself contains no new findings.

This study found that supraphysiological doses of testosterone alter endothelial relaxation pathways in hypertensive rats, with varied contributions from nitric oxide, prostanoids, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, influenced by estrogen and dihydrotestosterone levels.

This case report describes a 15-year-old Japanese girl with juvenile hypothyroidism who developed hypertrichosis and hyperkeratosis due to a keratin plug inhibiting hair growth on her back and arms.

This review discusses various forms and categories of hypertrichosis, as well as methods for managing the condition, but does not report new clinical results.

This case report describes a 58-year-old man with pretibial myxedema and hyperthyroidism, highlighting his cardiac symptoms, exophthalmos, weight loss, and specific dermatological findings over the last four years.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) worsens heart enlargement, and blocking it may help prevent heart issues.

This review suggests that dihydrotestosterone pretreatment may improve cosmetic outcomes in hypospadias repair, but more randomized trials are needed to determine its effectiveness due to currently limited evidence.

In this study, researchers found that bulge cells in mouse hair follicles undergo transient proliferation during early anagen, indicating their role as follicular stem cells. However, another factor beyond dermal papilla proximity may be required to initiate a new anagen phase.

PSA levels help determine prostate size and guide treatment choices for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This editorial discusses the potential progression of voiding symptoms over time in men, focusing on benign prostatic hyperplasia, but reports no new research findings.

This article discusses the causes of hirsutism, identifying increased androgen production and heightened skin sensitivity, and provides no new clinical results.

This study found that Finasteride treatment significantly reduced dihydrotestosterone and epidermal growth factor levels in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue, particularly in the periurethral zone, while Flutamide decreased epidermal growth factor but not dihydrotestosterone.

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

This study investigated the role of the glycoprotein Thy-1 in hypertrophic scar formation using a murine model, finding that Thy-1 knockdown reduced scar size and encouraged functional regeneration by influencing the p38MAPK signaling pathway under high-tension conditions.

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.
