Thyroid disease can cause hair loss and treating thyroid problems might help with hair disorders.

This review discusses the relationship between SHBG, NAFLD, and PCOS and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight low hepatic SHBG production as potentially significant in PCOS pathogenesis.

This paper presents a case study of a 21-year-old male with thyroid hemiagenesis, where the left thyroid lobe and isthmus are absent, and discusses the anomaly's potential clinical consequences based on existing literature.

This study found that patients with thyroid dysfunction were more likely to experience skin disorders such as chronic idiopathic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia areata compared to a control group.

This case report describes a functional adrenocortical oncocytoma that co-secreted testosterone and cortisol.

This review highlights the role of plant-derived organic selenium compounds, noting their high bioavailability and low toxicity, and provides a comprehensive overview of selenium's uptake in plants and metabolism in humans, offering a theoretical basis for future nutritional research.

This study suggests that low-dose radiotherapy may lead to temporary neurological improvements in some Alzheimer's patients, with 20% showing cognitive improvement at 6 months; it was well-tolerated, though larger trials are needed for confirmation.

This study found that testosterone replacement, with or without finasteride, did not lead to significant cognitive improvements over 36 months in healthy older men without prior cognitive impairment.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance and strength in older men with low testosterone over 36 months, whether administered alone or with finasteride.

This study found that premature hair greying may be associated with low serum ferritin and raised anti-TPO levels.

The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.

This study identified a novel G207E STING mutation associated with severe inflammatory symptoms and suggested that common polymorphisms in TMEM173 and IFIH1 may modify the phenotype in affected individuals.

This report describes a case of a 75-year-old woman whose diagnosis of hypopituitarism led to significant weight gain and improved physical function with treatment, highlighting the potential for overcoming frailty when investigating underlying causes in elderly patients.

This study retrospectively analyzed 3028 patients with telogen effluvium, finding that 6.2% had iron deficiency anemia and vitamin D deficiency was common, especially in women who were more often prescribed vitamin D therapy.

This study found that women with PCOS have significantly higher prevalence and levels of thyroid autoantibodies, with these elevated levels suggesting a potential independent autoimmune activation associated with PCOS.

In this study, a novel homozygous mutation in the STAT5B gene was identified in a 17-year-old boy with growth hormone-refractory growth failure, severe eczema, and autoimmune disease, suggesting a similarity to known STAT5B deficiency phenotypes.

This case report details a patient with autoimmune hypothyroidism who experienced multiple health issues that improved with comprehensive treatment including Thyroxin replacement and other supportive measures.

This case study reported a rare and delayed onset of alopecia in a patient after paclitaxel chemotherapy, potentially influenced by the interaction of thyroid hormones and chemotherapy affecting hair follicle cycles.

Finasteride may cause breast enlargement, low testosterone a risk factor.

This study concluded that thyroid atrophy, alopecia, and hyperkeratosis in sheep are associated with deficiencies in selenium and zinc in serum and liver.

This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism, recommending low-dose oral contraceptives with flutamide over cyproterone-containing preparations, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review article discusses recent updates on the skin manifestations associated with thyroid disease, emphasizing their role as early indicators of thyroid hormone dysregulation.

This study suggests that topically applied thyroid hormones T3 and T4 promote hair growth on human scalp tissues ex vivo, highlighting potential therapeutic use for hair loss conditions like androgenetic alopecia.

This case study reports an instance of adult-onset primary hypothyroidism with goiter in a cat, suggesting potential causes such as dietary iodine imbalance, chronic exposure to thyrotoxic substances, or a congenital form with late manifestation.

This study reports that women with hair loss had significantly lower levels of several biomarkers, including hemoglobin, iron, copper, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and thyroid hormones, compared to healthy controls.

This study describes the case of a 22-year-old female with alopecia areata linked to vitamin D deficiency, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management of deficiency to prevent broader health issues.

This article proposes five different mechanisms for telogen effluvium, supported by clinical findings, based on changes in different phases of the hair cycle.

This study found that the mammalian hairless gene encodes a corepressor protein that interacts with thyroid hormone receptors, providing insights into hair loss syndromes in humans and mice.

This review discusses hormonal influences on hair growth and suggests that understanding hormone-gene interactions may improve treatment of hirsutism and alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review article highlights that obesity is a significant risk factor for several inflammatory skin conditions, such as psoriasis and atopic eczema, contributing to increased overall morbidity among those affected.
