This review discusses the role of sex hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, in melasma pathogenesis and suggests that progesterone in oral contraceptives may help prevent melasma by regulating melanocyte proliferation.

This case report details a patient with myasthenia gravis and a malignant thymoma whose rising liver function tests, initially thought to be related to antibiotic use, were ultimately attributed to thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity.

This study found that a novel proniosomal gel formulation of CoQ10 improved antioxidant levels and provided better skin protection against UV radiation compared to a conventional CoQ10 gel in animal models.

This review analyzes the potential mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may exacerbate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and suggests a connection via ACE2 and androgen receptor pathways; it reports no new clinical results.

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

This review discusses emerging evidence on azathioprine's efficacy and safety for severe alopecia areata, reporting sustained response in many patients but emphasizing the need for controlled trials.

This review discusses the side effects and monitoring guidelines for commonly prescribed systemic acne treatments and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that Staphylococcus aureus delays wound healing by utilizing quorum sensing to impair lipid metabolism in keratinocytes, an effect not observed with commensal Staphylococcus, highlighting the impact of agr-dependent virulence factors in this process.

In this retrospective review, tofacitinib treatment was associated with clinically significant hair regrowth in most adolescent patients with alopecia areata, though limitations suggest further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

In this case report, a 45-year-old man with treatment-resistant androgenetic alopecia experienced hair regrowth during oral bicalutamide treatment but also suffered adverse effects leading to discontinuation, highlighting the need for further studies on the safety and role of androgen receptor blockade in hair loss.

This review highlights that isotretinoin effectively treats acne by addressing its pathogenic mechanisms, although managing its teratogenic risk and side effects through structured monitoring is crucial for safe use.

The source does not provide an abstract for this letter to the editor, so specific results regarding the long-term efficacy and safety of dutasteride for male androgenetic alopecia are not reported.

This article discusses the potential effects of exogenous testosterone, highlighting that its impact on prostate cancer progression, cardiovascular health, and behavior remains uncertain and needs further investigation.

This study found that high doses of ethyl acetate extract from Tridax procumbens can have specific toxic effects in rats, including organ damage and significant changes in some serum biochemical parameters.

This study observed that testosterone therapy in transgender men enhances both physical and mental health, is safe in the short and middle term with proper follow-up, and highlights the need for endocrinologists to provide gender-affirming care despite its limited presence in medical education.

This study on diabetic rats reported that Ziziphus spina-christi ethanol leaf extract significantly reduced blood glucose levels and improved liver and kidney function, suggesting possible benefits in managing diabetes symptoms in this animal model.

Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.

This study found that long-term finasteride therapy in men with BPH worsened erectile dysfunction and reduced testosterone levels, while these effects were not observed with tamsulosin.

This article discusses laboratory and physical markers that may help detect androgenic anabolic steroid abuse in athletes and reports no new primary research results.

This study assessed mice's hematology and serum enzymes under sodium arsenite toxicity and observed that Aegle marmelos fruit extract reduced liver and kidney damage, mitigating the toxin's effects by maintaining normal enzyme levels when both were administered together.

This case report highlights a 53-year-old woman who developed acute hepatitis after taking shou-wu-pian for eight months, suggesting that Chinese herbal preparations can sometimes cause liver damage.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This study found that long-term dutasteride therapy in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia worsened erectile dysfunction, reduced testosterone levels, and increased blood glucose and lipid profile, indicating negative metabolic impacts.

This study found that both ethanol and aqueous extracts of Lepidium sativum seeds improved insulin signaling and reduced obesity-related metabolic changes in high-fat diet-fed rats, suggesting potential as a dietary supplement.

This case-control study in Missan Province, Iraq, found that married women with PCOS had higher rates of obesity and menstrual irregularities, along with elevated testosterone, LH, and insulin levels, compared to healthy controls, highlighting significant hormonal and metabolic complications.
