In this case report, a 66-year-old postmenopausal woman with hyperandrogenism and alopecia underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which revealed rare synchronous ovarian tumors causing virilization, highlighting the importance of surgical exploration despite normal imaging.

This study found that thymus transplantation in athymic mice resulted in T-cell-driven hair follicle depigmentation and loss, without multiorgan autoimmune disease, highlighting mechanisms of tissue-specific tolerance.

In this case study, a man with necrolytic migratory erythema and a glucagonoma experienced decreased plasma glucagon levels and reduced metastases after treatment with dimethyltriazenoimidazole carboxamide.

This case report describes a woman with virilization syndrome who experienced a reduction in androgen levels and reversal of alopecia after removal of a Leydig cell tumor from her ovary.

This study found that a thyroid hormone receptor ẞ subtype-selective thyromimetic was effective in promoting hair growth in mouse and monkey models when applied topically.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

This article discusses hyperthyroidism in children, highlighting Graves' disease as the most common cause, and underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and intervention to mitigate morbidity; no new clinical results are reported.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

In this study, mouse models of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome showed that growth issues in small embryonic thymuses were linked to mesenchymal cells, which could be corrected by substituting with normal mesenchyme.

In this observational study, researchers found that mini-pulse oral corticosteroids effectively reduced hair loss in alopecia areata patients who did not respond to topical therapies, though early-onset patients and those with hypothyroidism were less likely to benefit.

In this study, dogs with adrenal-dependent hypercortisolism showed a decrease in the prevalence of systemic hypertension from 79% to 25% after a year of trilostane treatment or adrenalectomy, with blood pressure normalization observed by three months post-surgery in hypertensive dogs.

This study observed that human growth hormone treatment in osteoporosis patients appeared to improve skin thickness and restore dermal structures towards normal without stimulating hair, sebum, or melanin.

In this case study, a 33-year-old male with subclinical hypothyroidism underwent a nine-month Ayurveda-based treatment regimen, resulting in significantly reduced TSH levels and a 70% reduction in symptom severity.

In this case study, a 55-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with hepatic cortisone reductase deficiency after initially suspected 21-hydroxylase deficiency was ruled out.

This article reviews the skin, hair, nail, and mucosal changes linked to various pediatric endocrine disorders but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that mutations in the hairless gene in mice disrupt hair follicle integrity during catagen, leading to baldness due to disintegrating epithelial structures and loss of normal dermal papilla.

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

Surgery successfully treated a hidden ovarian tumor causing hair loss and excess hair growth in a postmenopausal woman.

This study reports that once neoplastic causes are excluded, functional hirsutism can be effectively treated with low-dose dexamethasone, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone.

This case report describes a 14-year-old girl with congenital hypotrichosis who experienced improved hair density and thickness after 3 months of treatment with oral minoxidil.

In this animal study, topical diazoxide treatment led to increased hair thickness and follicle growth in bald stumptailed macaques without causing notable systemic side effects.

This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with male pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who was diagnosed with an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor and successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

This study found that despite the persistence of aberrant double-negative T-cells, functional immune-competence was maintained after thymic transplantation in a patient with a rare FOXN1 mutation.

This study found that testosterone, finasteride, and castration in rats decreased serum thyroxin levels, with testosterone also affecting body and prostate weights.

This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.

This review covers the diagnosis and management of childhood Graves disease, emphasizing treatment options such as antithyroid medications, radioiodine therapy, and surgical thyroidectomy, and highlights the necessity for lifelong follow-up.

This case report describes a 37-year-old female with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia who presented with severe acne, progressive hair loss, and primary infertility, managed with prednisolone.

This study examined postmenopausal hyperandrogenism related to ovarian disease and found that specific biochemical markers can help differentiate between tumorous and non-tumorous cases, with a good level of sensitivity and specificity, supporting surgical intervention for resolution.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hair loss attributed to ovarian stromal hyperplasia; surgical removal of the ovaries normalized testosterone levels and resolved symptoms.

This article describes the PHAT technique for lip and facial rejuvenation but reports no new clinical findings; the technique aims to improve skin quality and enhance surgical outcomes.
