This review discusses the cardiovascular risks and events associated with anabolic-androgenic steroid use, suggesting the need for further research on some effects.

In this case report, a rare instance of ACTH-independent hypercortisolism in a patient with long-standing Addison's disease led to the discovery of an adrenal cortical adenoma, successfully treated with adrenalectomy, underscoring the importance of considering functional adrenal tumors in such atypical biochemical scenarios.

This case report describes the improvement of papulo-pustular acne in a 27-year-old woman through individualized homoeopathic treatment with Kalium bromatum, placebo, and lifestyle advice, highlighting its potential usefulness in acne management.

This study found that among 161 men with androgenic alopecia and "M"-shaped hairlines, sleeping position influenced the asymmetry of hairline recession, while the direction of combing showed no significant effect.

In this case study, a 40-year-old male on finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss developed a stroke due to carotid artery blockage, with potential drug interactions impacting coagulation and blood pressure posited as contributing factors.

This case study describes a rare instance of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus on the chin, highlighting the effectiveness of using dermoscopy and reflectance confocal microscopy for accurate diagnosis and monitoring, which led to significant lesion improvement with corticosteroid and immunomodulatory treatment over 19 weeks.

In this case study, researchers reported a rare instance of trichofolliculoma on the scalp in a 31-year-old male with constriction band syndrome, marking the first known association with amniotic band syndrome.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of inverted follicular keratosis, emphasizing the importance of histopathology for accurate differentiation from malignancies.

This case report from a German study detailed a 2-year-old girl with virilization and precocious puberty due to a rare ovarian steroid cell tumor, finding that post-surgery, her elevated hormone levels normalized within a week, and ongoing follow-up showed no need for chemotherapy.

This case study documents a rare concurrent presentation of herpes zoster and alopecia areata in a 24-year-old male, highlighting transient alopecia as a cutaneous complication of varicella zoster infection and suggesting further research into the virus's effect on dormant hair follicles.

This case report highlights the need to assess postmenopausal women with hirsutism for hyperandrogenism causes, as exemplified by a Leydig cell tumor coinciding with primary hyperparathyroidism.

In this case series, Xiang Chen reported instances of nail damage and hair loss following herpes zoster, noting the need for further exploration into the mechanisms and potential risk factors such as tuberculosis infection and kidney transplantation.

This study found that male hairlines naturally exhibit significant rightward asymmetry, suggesting that embracing this asymmetry in hair transplant procedures may result in more natural-looking outcomes.

This study found that fractional radiofrequency microneedling may be as effective and safe as intralesional corticosteroid injections for treating patchy alopecia areata, with potentially fewer side effects.

This case study reported transient localized hypertrichosis in a 26-year-old woman following cast removal from a forearm fracture, which resolved on its own after 5 months, suggesting that similar incidents of hair growth after trauma may have a benign and temporary course.

This case report describes a 62-year-old female patient with onycholysis whose condition recurred despite taking Coix seed extract, although both initial and recurrent symptoms resolved with its use, suggesting limited efficacy and warranting further study.

This study examined a case of postmenopausal virilization in a woman and found that despite normal imaging, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy revealed rare ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors as the source of hyperandrogenism, with symptoms resolving post-surgery.

In this case report, the authors describe the diagnosis and management of a rare case of hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, attributed to coexisting ovarian Leydig cell and Brenner tumors, with improvement in symptoms following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

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.

In this case study, an 11-month-old cat developed non-pruritic hair loss in the dorso-lumbar area after a road accident, with histopathological examination revealing post-traumatic changes such as absence of hair follicles and pyogranulomas.

In this case report, a benign trichoadenoma was identified in a 42-year-old man as a skin-colored nodule on the cheek, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis and differentiating it from similar conditions like pilomatricoma and sebaceous cyst.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with signs of virilization and high testosterone levels was found to have an ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the importance of systematically investigating such symptoms in postmenopausal women to determine the underlying etiology and prevent poor prognosis.

This clinical trial found that combining 678 nm helmet-type low-level laser therapy with topical minoxidil 5% significantly increased hair density and patient satisfaction in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to using minoxidil alone. Both treatments were well tolerated.

This case report describes successful wound healing in a patient with chronic gout and tophaceous ulcers following platelet-rich plasma therapy, highlighting its potential effectiveness in treating non-healing wounds.

This case report highlights the diagnosis of Parry Romberg syndrome in a 52-year-old man within a primary care setting, emphasizing the importance of awareness and team discussion among family physicians for rare conditions.

In a study of 147 patients with androgenic alopecia, those who received hair transplantation combined with platelet-rich plasma injections experienced better hair regrowth and smaller areas of hair loss compared to those who only had hair transplantation.

This narrative from Vijaya, a breast cancer patient, shares her personal experience with diagnosis, treatment, and support, highlighting the importance of emotional resilience and support groups.

This study found that inadequate thickness of deep dermal tissue in pigs is a key factor leading to fibrosis, with fibrosis likely serving a compensatory function for skin thickness.

This case report describes a 15-year-old girl with trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type 1 and a rare non-ossifying fibroma in her femur, suggesting a potential link between the genetic condition and bone lesions.

In this study, researchers identified and characterized three specific enzymes in root hair cells that play crucial roles in controlling root hair growth by affecting cell wall properties during expansion.
