In this study, researchers identified a novel genetic variant in the NR3C1 gene in a mother and her son that predicts a truncated protein, leading to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome with mild hyperandrogenic features, although no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established.

This review discusses the interplay between polycystic ovary syndrome, aging, and fertility in women, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight pathways and interventions needing further research.

This study indicates that higher thyroid-stimulating hormone levels may be linked to post-COVID-19 hair loss in women, while ferritin levels showed no significant correlation.

In this study, the authors propose that drugs like trazodone and antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine, which can induce priapism, may help restore libido synaptic circuits, offering potential treatment for post-finasteride syndrome and post-SSRI sexual dysfunction.

A thorough initial check-up is essential before sperm banking to ensure the best chance of preserving good quality sperm.

This study reports that incomplete information in a reverse supply chain can lead to efficiency losses, but a two-part tariff contract for the remanufacturer may improve performance by eliciting private information from collectors.

Hair cortisol is a reliable long-term stress marker during pregnancy.

This study found no evidence of androgen deficiency or decreased peripheral androgen action in men with persistent sexual symptoms after finasteride use, but identified links to depressed mood and abnormal brain function.

This study found that male pattern hair loss may be associated with differences in serum levels of androstenedione, cortisol, 17 beta-estradiol, and luteinizing hormone, compared to controls.

This study reports a case of a woman with Cushing's disease whose initial complaint was hair loss, a rare presenting symptom, despite multiple dermatological signs like easy bruising and violaceous striae being more indicative of the condition.

This study found that low levels of ferritin and iron were common among women with diffuse hair loss, suggesting these tests could be useful in evaluating such patients.

Women with epilepsy should be monitored for reproductive issues, which can be caused by epilepsy or its treatments, especially when using valproate.

This article reviews acromegaloid facial appearance syndrome and presents a case in a 57-year-old woman, emphasizing the need for more cases to understand its clinical features and inheritance patterns.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and diagnostic challenges of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to manage symptoms effectively, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that lowering serum DHT levels with 5 mg finasteride daily did not significantly alter serum gonadotropin levels in healthy young men after 28 days.

This review outlines the major health consequences of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse, with a focus on sexual and reproductive issues, and suggests management prioritizes cessation and relapse prevention due to lack of robust randomized trials.

This review discusses the psychiatric and sexual comorbidities of PCOS, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to manage sexual dysfunction due to high prevalence rates found in recent studies.

This review discusses the profound impact of obesity on skin physiology and dermatologic conditions and reports no new experimental results, recommending awareness and treatment strategy development for obesity-associated dermatoses.

This study demonstrated that stress-derived neurosteroid THDOC shifts from inhibiting to activating the HPA axis under stress, presenting potential therapeutic targets for stress-related disorders.

This review explores the biological functions of vitamin D, highlighting how deficiency may increase the risk of various diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers found that in late pregnancy, the neuroactive progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone inhibits HPA axis responses to immune challenges via an opioid-mediated mechanism.

Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.

This review summarizes research on androgens' roles in female reproductive function, noting their impact on IVF outcomes and the development of PCOS, and highlights the need for mechanism-based therapies.

This study defined menstrual phase-specific reference intervals for circulating androgen levels in young women, highlighting that anovulatory females showed higher androgen, LH, and FSH levels compared to ovulatory females.

This review discusses how various nutrients, such as flavonoids, probiotics, and omega-3 fatty acids, may support brain health by targeting stress-related pathways, potentially offering protective effects against neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders through their roles in oxidative stress reduction and neuroinflammation regulation.

In this study, socially defeated mice showed increased alcohol consumption, and CRF-R1 antagonism selectively reduced drinking in these mice, suggesting a potential treatment target for stress-related alcohol use disorders.

This study found that mice lacking sPLA2-IIE had distinct skin abnormalities, particularly affecting hair follicles, highlighting the differing roles of sPLA2 isoforms in mouse skin.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

This review emphasizes the potential of repurposing topical L-thyroxine for skin ulcers and telogen effluvium and highlights the need for further exploration of its use in dermatology.

This study suggests that hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic men is associated with altered sex-steroid metabolism, indicated by lower testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone levels compared to cirrhosis alone.
