This letter describes a case where severe pruritus without visible skin disease was a presenting symptom of hyperthyroidism in a 43-year-old woman, highlighting a less common association with the condition.

This report suggests a potential link between hyperprolactinemia and alopecia in women with autoimmune thyroid disease and emphasizes the importance of considering other causes in diagnosis.

This article discusses the health care process for patients with hyperthyroidism, emphasizing the critical role of nurses in educating patients and their families, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrated that elevated glucocorticoid levels in transgenic mice led to pancreatic exocrine cells transforming into hepatocyte-like cells, resulting in pancreatic dysfunction.

In this study, insulin resistance was observed at similar rates in non-obese women with idiopathic hirsutism, those with PCOS, and healthy controls.

This case report describes a rare instance of Hashimoto thyroiditis evolving into Graves' disease, emphasizing the potential for such transitions and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

This study observed that among rheumatoid arthritis patients, 22% had thyroid dysfunction, with hypothyroidism as the most common, and weight gain and cold intolerance were significant predictors.

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 post-menopausal woman with severe hirsutism whose high testosterone levels decreased after gonadotropin suppression, indicating residual hormone-producing tissue responsive to gonadotropins.

This case study from Boston University details a 35-year-old woman diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treated with dexamethasone, leading to normalized androgen levels and successful conception.

In this case report, a 21-year-old woman diagnosed with ACTH-independent Cushing syndrome showed improvement in symptoms, including a more regular menstrual cycle and lower hirsutism, after starting treatment with ketoconazole, although she developed hypertension.

This case report describes a 64-year-old postmenopausal woman with hirsutism due to a rare case of bilateral diffuse ovarian Leydig cell hyperplasia, leading to normalized testosterone levels and improved glycaemic control following surgery.

This integrative review analyzed nutritional interventions for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and found that treatments such as micronutrient supplementation, anti-inflammatory diets, and lifestyle changes may help manage symptoms, though the effectiveness varied among studies.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges of thyroid storm, emphasizing the importance of a thorough history and review of systems to differentiate it from other conditions.

This article reviews the pathophysiology and causes of androgen-mediated hair growth in hirsutism but does not report any clinical outcomes; treatment aspects are discussed separately.

Follicular dystrophy in immunocompromised patients may be linked to medication or viral factors and can improve with treatment changes.

This study found that human hair follicles can function like a peripheral hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, synthesizing cortisol in response to corticotropin-releasing hormone and adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation.

In this case study, the researchers reported that treating a woman with type B insulin resistance using rituximab, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide greatly reduced her insulin needs, but her hyperandrogenic state persisted, suggesting ovarian hyperthecosis.
