This review discusses the disproportionate negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with chronic medical conditions and calls for strategies to protect these vulnerable populations.

This review highlights therapeutic options for inducing puberty in males and females with delayed puberty, emphasizing the need for larger trials to establish the best approaches.

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

In this study, researchers emphasized the need for standardized definitions and improved methodologies in assessing LC prevalence, suggesting that future research explore prospective cohorts to refine estimates and examine long-term health outcomes.

This paper reviews obesity diagnosis and screening methods, emphasizing BMI's practicality in low- and middle-income countries, but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, six types of cold-pressed oils commonly found in the Polish market were analyzed for their health-promoting compounds and antioxidant activity, revealing them as valuable sources of bioactive compounds like polyunsaturated fatty acids, tocopherols, sterols, and polyphenols, without exceeding recommended deterioration parameters.

This study found that female patients in Finnish specialized health care with a history of doping use exhibited high rates of psychiatric and substance use disorder morbidity, with less than half of those using anabolic androgenic steroids showing atypical red blood cell parameters.

This article reviews the potential applications, benefits, and limitations of platelet-rich plasma in medical practice and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing the need for standardized preparation and treatment protocols.

This narrative review emphasizes the significant improvements in mental well-being linked to gender-affirming treatments while highlighting the need for ongoing research into hormone therapy's long-term effects and its impact on transgender individuals' reproductive health.

This abstract provides a narrative overview of polycystic ovary syndrome, discussing its symptoms and related health issues, and does not include new research findings.

This study observed that in vitro exposure to dihydrotestosterone worsened COVID-19 spike protein-induced endothelial injury, while spironolactone showed potential in reducing this effect, suggesting a rationale for further evaluation in treating COVID-19.

This review suggests that combining treatments such as oral supplements, topical minoxidil, and high-platelet plasma may be effective for addressing telogen effluvium after COVID-19 infection, which affects about 30% of patients.

This study found that a combination of natural compounds (escin, bromelain, ginkgo biloba, and sage miltiorrhiza) reduced platelet adhesion to activated endothelium in laboratory settings by inhibiting adhesion molecule transcription and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, potentially preventing initial steps of the coagulation cascade.

This study found that cyclosporine-A might significantly increase the risk of cerebral venous and arterial thrombosis in patients with aplastic anemia.

This study found that pregnant women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus have a higher prevalence of serum markers for hereditary and acquired thrombophilia compared to those without the disease.

This case study identified non-criteria antiphospholipid syndrome as a potential underlying cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome in a patient, emphasizing the need for its consideration, especially in cases with multiple thromboemboli and thrombocytopenia.

Patients with multiple superficial venous thrombosis are at greater risk for serious complications like cancer and recurrent blood clots.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have significantly higher plasma levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor and other hemostatic markers compared to age- and BMI-matched healthy controls.

This study found that elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome had higher PRU rates, and ticagrelor showed greater antiplatelet efficacy compared to clopidogrel in this population.

Prasugrel is better than clopidogrel at preventing heart damage and improving blood flow in small heart vessels during heart artery procedures.

This review discusses hypersensitivity reactions to anticoagulants, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and exploring various diagnostic and management options, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that thrombocytopenia is a common side effect of valproic acid, affecting up to 54% of elderly patients, but it is under-investigated despite significant therapeutic consequences.

This case study highlights the need for individualized assessment and discussion for athletes with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura due to the lack of definitive guidelines on safe participation in contact sports, noting a low bleeding risk when platelet counts are above 50,000.

This chapter reviews drugs affecting blood coagulation and details the increased hemorrhage risk associated with warfarin interactions, liver disease, heart failure, and antiphospholipid antibodies but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights potential links between inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis and hypercoagulable states, but notes that more research is needed to understand these connections and their clinical implications.

Propylthiouracil, a thyroid medication, can cause skin blood clots and immune-related blood vessel inflammation.

In this study, researchers optimized a method for preparing platelet-rich plasma to improve light transmittance aggregometry testing in coronary artery disease patients on clopidogrel and ticagrelor, finding distinct differences in platelet aggregation and volumes among these patients compared to healthy controls.

This study reports that erythematous, infiltrated plaques can develop in patients receiving subcutaneous heparin therapy, indicating a possible delayed hypersensitivity reaction to heparin or its constituents.

This review examines the gender-specific challenges in preventing and treating venous thromboembolism in women and highlights the need for further research on safe and optimal treatment strategies.

This case report observed that a 20-year-old female with recurrent DVTs experienced reversible alopecia with various anticoagulants, except fondaparinux which allowed long-term treatment without this side effect.
