This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

This study found that early adolescent girls who perceive themselves as undergoing pubertal changes report more intense and variable moods, with hormone activity and perceived pubertal status independently predicting mood fluctuations.

This review discusses the hormonal and pathological factors contributing to gynecomastia and premature thelarche in children but presents no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for careful evaluation.

This study observed that serum levels of oestradiol, testosterone, and androstenedione increase rapidly with the onset of puberty and continue to rise after menarche, with anovulatory cycles being common in early postmenarchal girls.

This study concluded that Buserelin can effectively inhibit gonadal activity in children with central precocious puberty over 18 months, potentially improving final height predictions with prolonged treatment.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This article discusses the introduction of the term 'prepubertal pattern hair loss' to describe hair thinning in children under 10 without physical abnormalities, and reports no new clinical findings.

This case describes a 14-year-old girl whose symptoms of hirsutism and virilization were attributed to an ovarian Sertoli-Leydig tumor, with improvement following surgical removal.

This study found an association between higher phthalate exposure and increased incidence of precocious puberty in girls, suggesting a need to reduce children's exposure to these endocrine disruptors.

In this case report, the authors describe a partial androgen insensitivity syndrome patient with a novel AR gene mutation, highlighting challenges in gender assignment decisions for infants with partial AIS.

This study found that prepubertal Hispanic girls with idiopathic premature adrenarche did not show differences in 5 alpha-reductase or 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities compared to controls.

Pubic hair transplantation can improve self-esteem in those with sparse pubic hair.

In this study, researchers found that oestrogen did not increase adrenal androgen secretion in children with premature adrenarche or in adolescents with gonadal dysgenesis undergoing oestrogen replacement therapy.

The document concludes that pediatricians play a vital role in supporting adolescents through puberty and should enhance their competence in this area.

This review discusses therapeutic options for pubertal induction in congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, focusing on recombinant gonadotropins, and highlights the need for larger randomized trials to determine optimal treatment strategies.

Young and adult hamsters both respond similarly to testosterone and finasteride treatments, but young hamsters aren't good for testing the inhibitory activity of a specific enzyme.

This chapter reviews the male accessory sex glands in rats and their responses to hormonal influences, detailing common spontaneous changes and effects of compounds, but it provides no new experimental findings.

This study used micro-CT to visualize preputial vessel distribution in a congenital hypospadias rat model, revealing that vessels at the preputial junction with good circulation were well-suited for vascular pedicle flaps in surgery.

This study found that autophagy in the preputial glands of mice plays a crucial role in regulating lipid and fatty acid metabolism, as well as pheromone production.

This study identified multiple mutations in the 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene among male pseudohermaphrodites in the Dominican Republic, suggesting they do not share a common ancestry.

This study found that combining fructose and DHT in rats successfully mimicked the clinical phenotypes of non-lean PCOS, providing a novel rodent model for this condition.

This review concludes that preoperative hormonal stimulation with testosterone or DHT may help increase penile length and glans circumference, easing hypospadias surgery and potentially reducing postoperative complications.

The authors discuss BPH treatment options and highlight that while medications can manage symptoms, recent minimally invasive procedures may offer promise for elderly males who are not surgical candidates or wish to avoid surgery.

This study found that blocking androgen receptors inhibits testicular descent in rats more effectively during the early stages of gubernacular outgrowth than inhibiting 5a-reductase.

This article reviews the characteristics, diagnosis, and management of premature adrenarche and suggests it may predict future ovarian hyperandrogenism in some adolescents; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that inhibiting autophagy in mouse preputial glands alters lipid metabolism, delays aging-related duct changes, and reduces pheromone production, indicating autophagy's critical role in gland homeostasis and cell breakdown during secretion.

This article reviews the diagnostic challenges of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents, discussing criteria, symptoms overlap with normal puberty, and treatment strategies, but it reports no new clinical findings.
