This study suggests that polycystic ovary syndrome symptoms are uncommon among women with metabolic syndrome, indicating it may represent only a specific subset within the broader context of metabolic syndrome.

This study found that 58% of men aged 30-50 had androgenic alopecia, with disease severity increasing with age and many being candidates for medical treatment or hair transplantation.

In this study, the prevalence of clinical polycystic ovary syndrome among high school girls in Isfahan, Iran was reported at 3%, with a note that hormonal assessments might uncover higher rates.

This study observed that dental erosion was common among adolescents in Pasto, Colombia, with dietary habits like frequent juice consumption and snacking on artificially flavored lemon products linked to increased risk.

This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

In these studies, among 326 geriatric patients in Ottawa, the most common skin complaints were actinic keratoses, eczema, benign tumors, and malignant tumors.
