This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This study found that biallelic LSS mutations lead to congenital hypotrichosis and cataracts, with each tissue-specific loss of function observed in mouse models.

This article describes the first reported case of isolated linear discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp, suggesting it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of linear scarring alopecia.

HGF combined with ADA is highly accurate for diagnosing tuberculous pleural effusion, especially in younger females.

This study found significant differences in serum lipoprotein (a) and triglyceride levels between men with androgenetic alopecia and those with normal hair, suggesting a need for dermatologists to monitor lipid profiles in these patients.

Farudodstat may effectively treat alopecia areata without harming hair follicles.

In this study, researchers observed that testicular 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency in an inbred Arab population in Israel leads to genital ambiguity at birth and progressive virilization after puberty.

In this case report, a 7-year-old girl with severe alopecia areata and high baseline IgE levels achieved complete hair regrowth after 48 weeks of dupilumab therapy, with observed decreases in IgE levels and no significant adverse effects beyond a mild initial allergic reaction.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher serum dihydrotestosterone levels than healthy controls, supporting its use as a reliable biomarker for early detection of the condition.

This study found that a basal 17-hydroxyprogesterone level is effective for screening nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women, with a 4 ng/mL cutoff providing high specificity and positive predictive value.

This study found that long-hair follicular unit excision for hairline restoration resulted in high patient satisfaction, with a 93% graft survival rate and improved quality of life scores postoperatively.

This study found that a low dose of flutamide, both alone and combined with an oral contraceptive, effectively reduced hirsutism in women, with the combination showing more lasting effects post-treatment.

This study found that ZDHHC13 deficiency in mice is associated with abnormal liver function, lipid metabolism issues, and impaired mitochondrial function, highlighting ZDHHC13's regulatory role in liver metabolism.

This case report documents a 63-year-old with Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome who developed choroidal melanoma alongside multiple lid folliculomas, marking the first known association of these conditions.

This review discusses the timing and management of dyslipidemia screening and intervention in pregnancy and highlights the need for lipid profile assessments each trimester; it reports no clinical results.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.

This study observed wide clinical diversity among five patients with the same VDR gene mutation causing vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, suggesting involvement of a nuclear accessory factor and a nongenomic action of the vitamin.

This study found that HIF-P4H-2 function in FoxD1-lineage cells is crucial for normal hair follicle development and homeostasis in mice, implicating disrupted HIF, TGF-β, and Notch signaling pathways in associated defects.

This study identified a distinct gene near the hairless locus on chromosome 8p that is responsible for hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family.

This case report describes a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed Degos disease and non-scarring alopecia, highlighting dermoscopy's role in diagnosis and treatment prognosis.

This study found that CD1a-restricted CD4+ T cells responsive to lysyl-phosphatidylglycerol were more frequent in the blood of atopic dermatitis patients, suggesting a potential role in the disease's Th2-mediated pathology.

This study utilized 3D ultra-high frequency ultrasound to effectively detect different disease phases of alopecia areata by visualizing hair follicle structures and identifying unique pathological signs, offering a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool that surpasses conventional methods.

Lower testosterone levels in men may be linked to a higher risk of severe coronary artery disease.

Woman has discoid lupus, frontal fibrosing, and androgenetic alopecia.

This review reported that home-use laser and intense pulsed light devices effectively reduce hair with significant efficacy and safety, showing 80% hair reduction one year post-treatment, although results can vary for darker skin types and compared to professional devices.

This study reports that riboflavin may increase enzymatic activity in a GCDH-deficient patient with specific mutations, but doesn't fully normalize urinary organic acid levels.

This study found that the total testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio correlates with a negative metabolic profile in both women with PCOS and healthy women.

In this study, distinct clinical responses and long-term resistances were observed in two pediatric patients with vitamin D-dependency type II, associated with abnormalities in their skin fibroblast interactions with 1,25-(OH)2D3.

This case report describes the rare association of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor and primary hyperparathyroidism in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting the importance of considering rare causes in patients with virilizing symptoms.

The researchers reported that inhibiting 11β-HSD1 activity in human dermal papilla cells may reduce the negative effects of glucocorticoids on hair growth, suggesting potential treatment for stress-related hair loss.
