This article provides an overview of diagnosing Cushing's syndrome, emphasizing the importance of assessing clinical signs and the appropriate use of first-line biochemical screening.

This article reviews the evidence regarding the role of sex hormones in occult hyperadrenocorticism and reports no new findings, highlighting the unproven nature of their involvement.

This article reviews existing knowledge on postmenopausal hyperandrogenism and highlights diagnostic challenges, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that low doses of leuprolide effectively suppressed serum estradiol and LH response, while higher doses were needed to suppress testosterone and reduce hair growth in hirsute women.

This study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

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

This case report describes a 10-year-old terrier with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism successfully treated with mitotane.

This report describes two cases of glucocorticoid resistance syndrome highlighting genetic diversity; one patient improved with low-dose dexamethasone despite negative genetic testing, while the other is monitored with a novel NR3C1 variant.

This study found that dexamethasone effectively suppressed DHEAS levels in women with elevated levels using much lower doses than previously thought, without significant adverse effects.

In this study, a dog with alopecia and a Sertoli cell tumor showed hyperprogesteronemia, and its hair regrew after castration, with progesterone levels reducing toward normal.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

This case report describes a 10-year-old Shih Tzu diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism, leading to the management of skin issues which initially improved but was followed by neurological symptoms, prompting euthanasia.

This review examines the clinical features, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of Chrousos syndrome but reports no new experimental findings on this condition.

This review summarizes the clinical features and molecular causes of Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance, highlighting new findings from the characterization of mutations in the NR3C1 gene, but reports no new experimental results.

This study reports that once neoplastic causes are excluded, functional hirsutism can be effectively treated with low-dose dexamethasone, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone.

This case series reported incidents of iatrogenic Cushing's Syndrome linked to high doses of intralesional corticosteroid injections and mesotherapy regimens, highlighting the need for cautious prescription practices and further research on mesotherapy safety.

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 paper reviews the diagnostic criteria, etiological factors, and treatment approaches for PCOS, highlighting the importance of considering metabolic issues such as insulin resistance and obesity, but reports no new findings.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the role of androgens in women's sexual health and highlights the need for further research on androgen replacement therapy to optimize quality of life, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses various hormonal therapies for acne and provides practical treatment guidelines for managing hormonally related acne, but it reports no new research findings.

Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.

This review examines the clinical presentation and management strategies for alopecia areata, focusing on pediatric patients, and highlights the need for addressing its psychological impacts; it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses recent therapeutic advances in treating various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and hair transplant technologies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more pronounced metabolic alterations and higher androgen levels compared to women with eumenorrheic hyperandrogenism, suggesting EuHyperA may be a milder form of PCOS.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

This article discusses various causes of hyperandrogenism in women and highlights diagnostic considerations for conditions such as PCOS, NCCAH, Cushing's disease, and androgen-secreting tumors, without reporting new clinical results.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.

This article reviews endocrine therapies for androgen excess disorders, emphasizing spironolactone, estrogen, and dexamethasone as effective treatments; it reports no new clinical results.
