In this systematic review, an increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit was associated with testosterone therapy, especially within the first year, and factors like serum testosterone levels and therapy specifics were linked to erythrocytosis development, highlighting the need for further research to guide clinical practice.

In this study, anemia was commonly observed in exercising women, especially those with heavy menstrual bleeding, and the authors recommend using a simple screening tool involving haemoglobin testing.

This case report describes a 42-year-old woman with Rhupus, a rare overlap syndrome of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting challenges in diagnosis due to non-specific clinical criteria and documenting specific symptoms such as inflammatory arthritis, malar rash, and hematological abnormalities observed during follow-up.

This article presents four case reports of men with porphyria cutanea tarda and hepatitis C, highlighting associations with polysubstance abuse, primarily alcohol.

This case report describes a 47-year-old male with rare total melanonychia linked to vitamin B12 deficiency, whose nail discoloration and constitutional symptoms improved following vitamin B12 supplementation.

In this study, iron deficiency anemia was prevalent among female patients, primarily due to heavy menstrual bleeding linked to uterine fibroids, and was often treated successfully with intravenous iron.

This case report describes the first known instance of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell ovarian tumor causing pulmonary embolism and erythrocytosis in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its potential role as a rare cause of hypercoagulable state.

This study found that women with symptoms of oligomenorrhoea and/or hirsutism are more likely to have polycystic ovaries and less favorable biochemical and clinical markers compared to asymptomatic women.
