This case study concluded that weight loss is the initial recommended approach for treating secondary hypogonadism, as shown by improvements in testosterone levels and symptoms in an obese 37-year-old patient.

This case report describes a rare presentation of myxedema coma in a 46-year-old woman, initially identified by acute pulmonary embolism, which was managed successfully with thyroid hormone and corticosteroid treatment.

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 case report describes a patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who developed hypertrichosis and eyelash trichomegaly, likely linked to cyclosporine-A and prednisolone therapy, with expected resolution after stopping treatment.

In this study, researchers found that cyclophosphamide treatment unexpectedly reduced splenic melanin deposition in a murine model, whereas this effect was down-regulated more by the normal and dystrophic catagen phase of the hair cycle.

This study suggests that young women with low prolactin levels may face higher cardiometabolic risk, and reducing cabergoline dosage reversed related metabolic disturbances.

In this case study, researchers observed a 5.8-year-old male with peripheral precocious puberty due to a germ cell tumor, marked by elevated human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Treatment normalized hormone levels and arrested the puberty progression, highlighting melatonin's potential role in transitions to central precocious puberty.

This letter to the editor discusses the immune response related to hair loss in a case of atypical drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome but reports no new research findings.

This study found that untreated hirsute patients have lower expression of type 2 17β-HSD mRNA in scalp hairs, indicating potential disturbances in androgen metabolism, compared to treated hirsute patients.

This study suggests that many men with premature balding exhibit a hormonal pattern similar to some aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

This case report describes a 36-year-old woman experiencing telogen effluvium, noting her recent rapid weight loss and injections of chorionic gonadotropin as potential contributing factors.

This source provides a comprehensive review of the causes, diagnostics, and management of primary amenorrhea in pediatric endocrinology and gynecology, emphasizing that with early and accurate diagnosis, fertility may be achievable even when a cure is not available.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This study reported that treating alopecia patients with thyroxin tablets to reduce TSH levels, along with hair growth therapies, improved hair follicle growth and hair structure.

Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.

This case study describes a 54-year-old woman with a rare pattern of asymmetrical hair loss resembling androgenetic alopecia, alongside sparse body hair and near absence of eyebrows and eyelashes, while other ectodermal features were normal.

In this case report, a 7-year-old Labrador with chronic alopecia, weight gain, and dermatitis, was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and treated with levothyroxine and other medications. Improvement, characterized by reduced skin lesions, was observed after two months.

This study showed that the stress hormone CRF inhibits hair growth and induces hair loss by affecting both the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle function.

This study found that older patients with Cushing's syndrome had fewer typical symptoms of hypercortisolism, more comorbidities, and were more often treated conservatively compared to younger patients.

This study observed that in the bald scalps of male patients with androgenetic alopecia, there was a significant downregulation of the PPAR signaling pathway, suggesting reduced adipogenesis potentially influencing hair cycling processes.

In this correspondence, an observed pattern of significant hair shedding occurred four to six weeks after women discontinued chorionic gonadotropin and a 400-calorie diet, ruling out other common causes of telogen effluvium.

This study reported that both phlebotomy and oral contraceptive pills with cyproterone acetate effectively improved insulin resistance and androgenic profiles in women with PCOS, but OCs had more impact on regularizing menstrual cycles.

This case report describes a woman with severe hyperandrogenism due to ovarian tumors, where surgical removal led to dramatic improvement in her diabetes control and reduced insulin requirements.

This case report describes a rare instance of hyperandrogenism and increased hirsutism associated with endometrial cancer in a postmenopausal woman, with symptoms resolving and androgen levels normalizing after a total laparoscopic abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.

This study found that cortisone reductase deficiency is caused by inactivating mutations in the H6PD gene, affecting cortisol metabolism by preventing 11β-HSD1 enzyme function.

This review addresses the physiology, diagnosis, and management of thyroid dysfunction in children, focusing on conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, but presents no new clinical results.

This article reviews the potential male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome, focusing on hormonal alterations and premature androgenic alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings; the authors highlight the need for further studies on adrenal steroids and other factors.

In this study, the researchers observed that antiandrogen treatment with Cyproterone acetate led to atrophy of pilo-sebaceous units and may activate Langerhans cells, contributing to local inflammation.

This clinical case study reports on a postmenopausal woman experiencing hair loss and virilization symptoms, which were ultimately attributed to rare ovarian tumors identified after a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, despite normal imaging results.
