research An Update on Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is a genetic disorder with two forms, causing symptoms like early puberty and severe acne, but can be identified through screening and treated with glucocorticoids.
research Endocrinology and Auxology of Siblings with Non-Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Siblings with signs of virilization should be tested for non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which does not affect adult height but may impact fertility and well-being if untreated.
research Gonads
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of male and female gonadal disorders is crucial for effective treatment and better patient outcomes.
research Clinical Impact of Molecular Diagnostics in Endocrinology
Molecular diagnostics help identify genetic defects causing endocrine diseases, improving diagnosis and treatment options.
research Severe Impact of Late Diagnosis of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia on Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, and Function: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Late diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia can greatly affect physical development, gender identity, and sexual health.
research Nonclassic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Pathophysiology, Genetics, and Management
Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder causing hormone imbalances, affecting fertility and requiring personalized treatment.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and NC-CAH: Distinct Characteristics and Common Findings. A Systematic Review
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is common in women with conditions like anovulation, hirsutism, hair loss, and type 2 diabetes, and it can lead to health risks like heart disease, obesity, insulin resistance, and depression. Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (NC-CAH) is also discussed.
research Genetic Screening of Non-Classic CAH Females with Hyperandrogenemia Identifies a Novel CYP11B1 Gene Mutation
A new mutation in the CYP11B1 gene was found in a woman with mild hyperandrogenemia, a rare cause of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research The Pediatric Origins of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Early signs of PCOS in girls, like irregular periods and polycystic ovaries, suggest a need for early diagnosis and intervention to prevent further health issues.
research The Biology and Clinical Application of Systemic Glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
research Sexual Dysfunction in Men Taking Systemic Dermatologic Medication: A Systematic Review
Some men taking finasteride for hair loss may experience sexual problems like erectile dysfunction and decreased sex drive, which can persist even after stopping the medication.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research Diagnosis and Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
The document concludes that managing PCOS involves treating symptoms, regulating periods, and reducing health risks, with specific medications for fertility and metabolic issues.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research Association of Estrogen Receptor Gene Variants (ESR1 and ESR2) with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Tunisia
Certain gene variants in estrogen receptors are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, mainly affecting metabolism, in Tunisian women.
research Hirsutism: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and combined treatments are key for hirsutism management, and weight loss may help overweight patients.
research Common Variants in the Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Gene Influence SHBG Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain SHBG gene variants, like rs727428, are linked to higher testosterone levels in women with PCOS.
research Oral Contraceptive Pill Treatment Alters Gene Expression of Inflammatory Markers in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Women
Birth control pills change the activity of certain inflammation and blood clotting genes in women with PCOS.
research The Eye and the Skin in Endocrine Metabolic Diseases
Diabetes can lead to blindness and skin problems, and managing blood sugar and blood pressure is crucial to prevent these complications.
research Targets to Treat Androgen Excess in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.
research Effect of a Low-Starch/Low-Dairy Diet on Fat Oxidation in Overweight and Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
A low-starch/low-dairy diet may help overweight women with PCOS lose weight and improve metabolism, but more research is needed.
