This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

This case report describes a 10-year-old Shih Tzu diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism, leading to the management of skin issues which initially improved but was followed by neurological symptoms, prompting euthanasia.

This article reviews the evidence regarding the role of sex hormones in occult hyperadrenocorticism and reports no new findings, highlighting the unproven nature of their involvement.

A postmenopausal woman's virilization was caused by a rare ovarian tumor that was hard to detect but was successfully treated with surgery.

This review discusses the various causes of hirsutism other than PCOS, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing potentially life-threatening conditions like androgen-secreting tumors from more benign causes; it reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that trilostane treatment led to complete hair regrowth in three Alaskan malamutes with ACTH-stimulated elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels within 6 months without any recognized adverse effects.

This review discusses the diagnostic challenges of androgen and estrogen-secreting adrenal tumors and highlights that the presence of metastases is the most reliable indicator of malignancy; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the similarities in clinical, endocrine, and ultrasonographic features between PCOS and other disorders with excessive androgen secretion, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis but reports no new clinical results.

This study systematically compared pediatric and adult Cushing's disease patients, revealing more severe and earlier-onset symptoms in males, and distinct gender-specific clinical manifestations.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with Cushing's Disease experienced a complex diagnostic journey; ultimately, a left-side ACTH-secreting microadenoma was identified and treated with gamma knife therapy, normalizing hypercortisolism but resulting in growth hormone deficiency.

In this study, researchers identified a novel genetic variant in the NR3C1 gene in a mother and her son that predicts a truncated protein, leading to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome with mild hyperandrogenic features, although no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established.

This case report details a 7-year-old Shih Tzu with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, where initial trilostane treatment did not improve skin conditions, necessitating a dosage increase.

This study found that KY19382 can effectively promote hair regeneration and follicle neogenesis in mice and human hair models by activating Wnt/β-catenin signalling, suggesting potential use for alopecia treatment.

This review discusses the etiology and clinical findings of atypical hyperadrenocorticism in dogs due to sex steroid imbalance and explores various treatment options, but reports no new results.

This case report describes a rare instance of a patient with anorexia nervosa who was subsequently diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to overlapping symptoms.

This study found that human placenta extract may be a promising pulp-capping material, causing less intense chronic inflammation and thicker dentine bridge formation compared to mineral trioxide aggregate in dogs' teeth.

This study found that storing horse hair follicles in RNAlater® at cool or room temperature for up to a week did not affect RNA integrity, suggesting it allows for flexible sample transport without immediate freezing.

This review covers cell transplantation methods for genitourinary reconstruction, discussing tissue sources and complications but presenting no new clinical findings.

Cats lose fur due to various reasons, including allergies, infections, genetics, hormones, diet, cancer, stress, and some conditions are treatable while others are not.

This study developed a testosterone propionate-induced C57BL/6 mouse model of androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating that high-dose, prolonged testosterone administration inhibited hair regrowth and mirrored human AGA pathology, providing a useful platform for studying hair loss mechanisms and testing therapies targeting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

In this study, RNA integrity in horse hair follicles stored at various conditions in RNAlater® was maintained, showing that storing them at cool or room temperature for up to a week does not compromise RNA quality or concentration.

This article reviews topics from the American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology and American College of Veterinary Dermatology Annual Meeting and contains no new clinical findings.

In this case study, DDS treatment for LABD was complicated by hemolytic anemia and alopecia, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of these potential side effects.

This case report highlights a female patient with familial partial lipodystrophy who showed significant improvement in liver stiffness after starting leptin replacement therapy.

This study demonstrated that lactate dehydrogenase activity is notably high in quiescent hair follicle stem cells within mouse skin using a specific enzymatic activity assay.

This article discusses the applications and proposed benefits of LED low level light therapy for various conditions like acne, wound healing, and pain relief, but provides no new clinical results.

This study reports that a homozygous A1103G mutation in DSG 4 is responsible for localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis in a 2-year-old Chinese girl, resulting in reduced DSG 4 expression and hair defects.

This study identified "HTLV-1-associated lichenoid dermatitis" as a skin condition in HTLV-1-infected individuals, characterized by reactive eruptions associated with increased immunity toward infected CD4+ T cells.
