This study reported common skin changes and symptoms associated with thyroid disorders, such as dry skin in hypothyroidism and warm, soft skin in hyperthyroidism, and noted urticaria as a frequent autoimmune association in hypothyroid patients.

This study found no direct relationship between low serum ferritin and chronic diffuse telogen hair loss in women, questioning the usefulness of serum ferritin measurement and iron supplementation for managing this condition.

This study found that combining low-dose spironolactone with metformin provided greater clinical benefits and improved treatment compliance in women with PCOS compared to either drug alone.

In this study, male rats exposed in utero to low-dose chemical mixtures had permanent reproductive tract alterations, suggesting additive effects even at doses below individual adverse levels.

This study reports that sequential high- and low-dose prednisolone therapy effectively promotes complete hair regrowth in 62% of children with severe alopecia areata, while minimizing severe side effects.

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.

In this case-control study, researchers observed that women with female pattern hair loss exhibited significantly lower serum IGF-1 levels than controls, while IGFBP-3 levels showed no significant difference, suggesting a potential role for IGF-1 in the condition.

This study found that low serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with non-scarring alopecia in women from Punjab, Pakistan, suggesting that assessing ferritin could help identify iron deficiency as a modifiable factor in hair loss.

This study found that all four treatments—flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA—significantly reduced hirsutism, but EE-CPA and flutamide appeared most effective, with varying effects on androgen levels and side-effect profiles.

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 flutamide, finasteride, ketoconazole, and EE-CPA all significantly reduced hirsutism scores, hair diameter, and hair growth rate in women with hirsutism over 12 months.

This study reported that mice on a phenylalanine-deficient diet showed symptoms such as weight loss, gastric dilation, and thymic depletion, which echo human phenylalanine deficiency manifestations.

This study found that METTL1 is upregulated in papillary thyroid cancer tissues and promotes cancer cell proliferation and metastasis through its tRNA methyltransferase activity.

This review discusses the multifactorial causes of female sexual dysfunction and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation before considering androgen therapy.

In this study, researchers found that overt hyperthyroidism was the most prevalent thyroid disorder among patients, especially in women, and it was characterized by classic symptoms like high pulse rate and weight loss, highlighting the importance of early identification and management to prevent complications.

This study found that 87% of patients with stage IIA and IIB melanoma treated with low-dose alpha-interferon reported cutaneous side effects, with the most common being hair loss.

This study found that both high-dose and low-dose finasteride significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women after 12 months, with the lower dose being safe and cost-effective.

This review explores the significant impacts of hormonal changes within normal physiological ranges and suggests examining low-dose effects from chemicals disrupting hormonal activity; it presents no new clinical results.

This article presents a case of giant cell arteritis occurring in a patient with de Quervain's thyroiditis but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that participants with normal hemoglobin but low ferritin experienced significantly more symptoms like restless leg syndrome, dizziness, and shortness of breath compared to those with normal ferritin.

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

People with vitiligo may have a lower risk of heart disease.

This study observed that levothyroxine therapy in men with autoimmune hypothyroidism was less effective at reducing thyroid antibodies and hormone disruptions in those with early-onset androgenetic alopecia compared to those without hair loss.

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.

This study by Dr. Manka and colleagues reported that thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating hepatic stellate cells, influencing liver fibrosis progression via TGFβ signaling. They found that TRα signaling might enhance scar-free tissue regeneration, offering potential pathways for targeted liver fibrosis treatments.

In this study, researchers found that the thyroxine receptor agonist TDM10842 accelerated the onset of anagen, a hair growth phase, in C3H mice, potentially through activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin and Hedgehog pathways, with Pclaf playing a key role in this process.

This review addresses alopecia areata, emphasizing its autoimmune nature, unpredictable course, and lack of preventive or curative treatments, while noting standard and emerging therapies such as topical steroids and Janus kinase inhibitors.

This study examined 142 patients with subclinical thyroid disorders and found a high incidence of comorbidities like renal diseases. Researchers reported that good medication adherence was associated with better quality of life, indicating a significant relationship between adherence and quality of life.

This case study describes a previously unknown association of the PIBIDS complex with autoimmune thyroiditis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a five-year-old Indian child.
