This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had increased oxidative stress and microinflammation, contributing to hair loss, due to elevated levels of specific serum biomarkers compared to controls.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

This study measured plasma testosterone glucosiduronate levels and found no overlap in those with hyperandrogenism compared to normal females, despite normal testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in half of the affected patients.

This study found that thyroid volume was increased in PCOS patients with insulin resistance, with potential influences from TSH and LH levels on these changes.

This report describes a rare case of painless thyroiditis induced by prolonged off-label use of Lugol’s solution in a 59-year-old woman.

This chapter reviews the causes and underlying steroid pathways of hirsutism and virilization in women, detailing relevant conditions and laboratory assays without reporting new clinical results.

This randomized controlled study reported that combining Ecklonia cava with Diane-35 significantly improved weight, waist circumference, hormonal balance, and inflammation markers in women with polycystic ovary syndrome over three months compared to Diane-35 alone.

This study reports that dogs with dermatoses linked to hypothyroidism displayed a significant incidence of specific haematological and biochemical alterations, such as elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels and reduced thyroid hormones, compared to healthy dogs, with Labrador Retrievers showing the highest breed predisposition.

This study observed that topical application of palmitate or oleate accelerated the onset of the hair growth phase in mice, whereas glycolysis end product lactate delayed it, suggesting metabolic regulation as a promising approach for influencing hair growth.

In this study, freezing gamma-irradiated amniotic fluid increased hair follicles and accelerated the transition to the anagen stage in rats, suggesting potential for treating hair loss safely and effectively.

In this study, mouse hair follicle stem cells cultured in mouse embryonic fibroblast/keratinocyte serum-free medium exhibited the highest proliferative ability and stronger osteogenic differentiation potential, similar to hair follicle dermal papilla cells.

This case report describes a 28-year-old woman with facial, abdominal, and thigh hirsutism who showed little improvement after 5 months of Metformin and spironolactone treatment.

This study found that pectin lyase-modified red ginseng extract may promote hair growth by enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, along with inhibiting testosterone-induced 5-alpha-reductase in human hair dermal papilla cells.

Several companies launched new hair care ingredients in 2011 to improve conditioning, color retention, combability, and heat protection.

This study found that pregnancies with gestational diabetes in a Midwestern U.S. cohort demonstrated elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting a common relationship between impaired glucose tolerance and hyperandrogenemia across diverse ethnic backgrounds.

This review describes and compares the efficacy of bioregenerative therapies, specifically mesenchymal stem cells and platelet-rich plasma, for treating osteoarthritis, suggesting they may offer a less invasive and more effective alternative to surgery and conventional therapies.

This study introduced a high-viscosity epoxy photoresist to enhance the fabrication of complex microstructures with monolithic integration and mechanical stability, enabling advancements in two-photon 3D printing for creating functional micro-mechanical devices.

This study successfully developed and optimized ethanol-free microemulsion systems for the transdermal delivery of finasteride, showing that the predicted optimal formulations had physicochemical characteristics close to estimated values, without significant damage to treated hair fibers.

In this study, germ-free male mice showed altered levels of certain neuroactive steroids in the brain and periphery, suggesting microbiota may influence neuroendocrine pathways that support brain functioning.

In this study, researchers developed a silk fibroin-based hydrogel with added curcumin and pluronic F127, which displayed antibacterial properties against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and showed potential for skin tissue regeneration, without cytotoxicity.

In this study involving South African breast cancer patients, researchers identified certain genetic variations in cytochrome P450 and other enzymes potentially linked to differences in tamoxifen treatment outcomes, suggesting a need for more comprehensive pharmacogenomic studies to optimize therapy in African populations.

This study aims to evaluate whether a subset of patients experience undetected hypothyroidism, termed the "famine response," during rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery, which may impact weight loss outcomes. Results are not reported in this abstract.

This study found that late-onset hypogonadism is relatively common in male patients with long COVID, even among those under 50, and serum free testosterone measurement can help reveal this condition.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This case study reports the first known instance of hepatic adrenocortical carcinoma in a virilized young woman, highlighting the importance of comprehensive evaluation to identify ectopic adrenal tumors.

This study found that among women with PCOS, higher HOMA-IR levels were associated with acanthosis nigricans, and increased DHEA-SO4, FAI, and FI values were linked to hirsutism.

This case study describes a 41-year-old woman with a solitary thyroid nodule who underwent successful right hemithyroidectomy after initial suspicion of malignancy from ultrasound, later confirmed as benign colloid goiter via FNAC, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation in thyroid conditions.

In this case study, a 41-year-old woman with a solitary thyroid nodule was found to have a benign colloid goiter after biopsy, and she successfully underwent right hemithyroidectomy with good postoperative recovery and management of symptoms using various supportive medications.
