This study found that in first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) provided similar progression-free survival to doxorubicin with significantly less cardiotoxicity.

This study compared letrozole and clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and found that while clomiphene led to more follicles, monofollicular development and endometrial thickness were higher with letrozole, and pregnancy rates did not significantly differ between the two treatments.

This case report by the researchers observed a complete remission of lichen planopilaris in a 58-year-old woman after treatment with the JAK-1 inhibitor abrocitinib, although they noted that concurrent topical therapy might have contributed to this outcome.

In this study, copper-doxorubicin liposomes with multidose therapy reduced systemic toxicity compared to ammonium sulfate-loaded doxorubicin liposomes, while combinatorial strategies further enhanced tumor regression and accumulation.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing PCOS and its symptoms in transmen, suggesting hormonal fluctuations may lead to symptomatic relief with low dose estradiol.

This study found that a low-dose intermittent finasteride regimen significantly reduced hirsutism scores in adolescent girls with PCOS or idiopathic hirsutism, with similar efficacy but potentially safer and less expensive than continuous administration.

This study found that patient-reported outcomes were similar between neoadjuvant endocrine therapy and chemotherapy in premenopausal breast cancer patients, but future perspective was significantly better with endocrine therapy.

In this study, proxalutamide significantly reduced the 30-day hospitalization rate by 91% compared to placebo in men with COVID-19 treated in outpatient settings.

This letter highlights that levonorgestrel intrauterine devices may lead to fewer systemic side effects, like acne, compared to its oral administration due to lower systemic levels of progestogens.

In this randomized trial, lupus patients taking daily 200 μg selenium supplements for eight weeks showed significant improvements in metabolic markers like CRP, ESR, MDA, and GPX, as well as reduced clinical symptoms such as arthritis and alopecia, compared to those receiving a placebo.

This review discusses therapies for skin lesions in lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical results, focusing on defining and managing refractory disease.

In vitro, this study found that PTX and HU SF-FA NLCs showed greater cytotoxicity and apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells than pure paclitaxel, suggesting promise as a targeted drug delivery platform.

In this pilot study, finasteride increased testosterone/dihydrotestosterone and progesterone/dihydroprogesterone ratios in normal ovulatory women but did not alter ovulation or gonadotropin secretion.

This chapter explores the promising use of low-power laser irradiation for post-hysterectomy reconstructive care, emphasizing enhancements like a flexible fiber optic module, to potentially improve genitourinary rehabilitation in cervical cancer patients.

This case study reports the first known instance of isolated sub-acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus potentially induced by long-term nitrofurantoin therapy, with effective treatment using topical steroids and hydroxychloroquine.

In this retrospective chart review, researchers observed that estrogen monotherapy effectively suppressed testosterone levels below 50ng/dL in all transfeminine patients studied, particularly those using injectable formulations, though the small sample size and ongoing data collection limit these findings.

In this study, researchers analyzed lurasidone's risk profile for treating schizophrenia and bipolar depression, identifying unlisted adverse reactions like hypersexuality, restless leg syndrome, thrombocytopenia, and telogen effluvium, which show probable or possible correlations with the drug.

This study found that combining letrozole with metformin was more effective at inducing pregnancy in women with PCOS compared to letrozole alone, while OCP and metformin significantly improved menstrual regularity and reduced hyperandrogenic symptoms.

This study documented the progression of exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German shorthaired pointers and found generally poor responses to therapies, including immunomodulatory drugs and a TNF-α inhibitor.

In this case study, a 36-year-old female with severe lupus enteritis and intestinal pseudo-obstruction showed significant clinical improvement after treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, and cyclophosphamide, highlighting the complexities and challenges in diagnosing and managing atypical lupus manifestations.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with microsatellite stable adrenocortical carcinoma who showed a promising 36-month response to pembrolizumab, including structural and biochemical improvements, with primary adrenal insufficiency as a major side effect.

This report discusses electroacupuncture as a complementary treatment for PCOS and suggests it may improve symptoms by enhancing ovulation and reducing testosterone and LH levels, but does not present new clinical results.

In this case report, a rare form of chronic cutaneous lupus, lupus erythematosus profundus, was treated effectively with topical and systemic therapies, leading to improvement and healing of ulcerations, though resulting in atrophic scars and macules.

This study found no differences in ovarian function between renal transplant recipients treated with either cyclosporin A or azathioprine and prednisone, although excessive hair growth was common in both groups.

This study found that intraovarian PRP treatment in women with low ovarian reserve was associated with significant increases in serum AMH levels in some patients, typically within four weeks.

In this case report, a 53-year-old woman with Little-Graham-Piccardi-Lassueur-Syndrome responded well to a treatment regimen of hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and other therapies, effectively halting the progression of this rare dermatosis characterized by alopecia and hyperkeratotic eruptions.

In this study, a 49-year-old female with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma experienced an abscopal effect following pulse electric field ablation, suggesting potential as an adjunct to systemic immunotherapy for liver tumors.

This study suggests that fractional infrared technology may effectively improve cervical skin laxity by enhancing dermal thickness without adverse effects in a small pilot group.
