In this case report, a novel heterozygous mutation in the insulin receptor gene was identified in an adolescent girl with type A insulin resistance syndrome, characterized by excessive hair growth and skin changes, and her mother.

This study found that minoxidil significantly reduces systemic blood pressure and vascular resistance in patients with hypertension, but does not alter pulmonary vascular resistance or exacerbate pulmonary hypertension.

In this case study, the authors identified a circulating low molecular weight inhibitor that may contribute to insulin resistance in a woman with acanthosis nigricans and polycystic ovary syndrome.

In this study, researchers found that quiescent stem cells resist immune attack due to downregulated antigen presentation, which may help explain the immune evasion of early cancer-initiating cells.

In this study, insulin resistance was observed at similar rates in non-obese women with idiopathic hirsutism, those with PCOS, and healthy controls.

This study found that women with PMS were more likely to use suppression rather than reappraisal for emotion regulation, and increased suppression was linked to higher skin conductance levels in these women.

This meta-analysis reported no significant improvement in muscle strength or mobility with glucocorticoid treatment for progressive muscular dystrophy but observed an increase in adverse effects like acne and emotional irritability.

This article reviews the concept of caloric restriction and its potential anti-aging effects, highlighting animal studies and a human experiment in Biosphere II, but notes significant challenges for its application in humans.

This study found that cognitive working memory training may help reduce symptoms of hair-pulling disorder and improve neurocognitive functions in affected individuals.

This study found that the SUCCESS education programme did not increase the step count at three months for women with PCOS, highlighting the need for further evaluation over a longer duration.

This study found that mice lacking REDD1 experienced an expansion of dermal white adipose tissue through both hypertrophy and hyperplasia, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for skin adipogenesis regulation.

Traditional Persian medicine helped a woman with resistant hyperthyroidism improve and stabilize her condition.

Jockeys using diuretics without potassium supplements can face health problems.

This review discusses the presence of undeclared substances, including androgenic steroids, in sports supplements and emphasizes potential health risks, without providing new results; it advises caution and consultation on supplement use.

This study demonstrated that Forsythiaside A improved survival and reduced neurological deficits in rats with cerebral ischemic injury, potentially through activating Nrf2 and reducing ER stress pathways.

This study found that blue laser irradiation reduced ATP levels and cell viability in mouse skin by increasing oxidative stress through the production of reactive oxygen species.

This study in male mice found that testosterone provides strong protection against skin necrosis after ischemia, working through its estrogenic and androgenic derivatives to enhance skin survival and revascularization, with 17β-estradiol being notably more effective than dihydrotestosterone.

This review discusses the similarities between myotonic dystrophy and aging, highlighting the role of cellular senescence in its pathophysiology, and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note potential anti-aging therapy applications.

In this study, researchers explored how hypoxic preconditioning affects the survival and oxidative stress resilience of nestin-expressing hair follicle stem cells and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, focusing on changes in gene expression for HIF1α, BDNF, and VEGF.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) worsens heart enlargement, and blocking it may help prevent heart issues.

Adding diltiazem to a beta blocker can cause dangerously slow heart rates.

This study found that high levels of μ-crystallin in skeletal muscle are associated with greater fat metabolism and a shift in gene expression towards slower muscle function.

This study found that oral contraceptives effectively suppressed hyperandrogenemia in most patients with hyperandrogenic-insulin-resistant acanthosis nigricans syndrome, though GnRH-a therapy was beneficial for those not responding initially.

This study found that KrasG12D mutant cells are typically cleared from adult pancreas tissues through mechanisms involving the EphA2 receptor, suggesting its role as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer.

This review explores the complex relationships between ferroptosis, anastasis, and chemoresistance in cancer therapy, highlighting the potential of combining ferroptosis with immunotherapy to overcome resistance and improve personalized cancer treatments.

This study showed that spironolactone effectively reduces morbidity and mortality in moderate to severe heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but its benefits in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction are less clear.

This case report presents a 14-year-old girl with type A insulin resistance, illustrating diagnostic processes to differentiate it from type 2 diabetes in the context of pediatric obesity and hyperglycemia.

This narrative review highlights that endurance, skill-oriented athletes, and physique-oriented competitors such as bodybuilders face accelerated degradation of fillers and botulinum neurotoxin due to elevated basal metabolic rates and other factors, and raised concerns about psychological conditions like body dysmorphic disorder in these populations.

Minoxidil effectively controls blood pressure in severe cases, but may cause fluid retention and edema.

This study found that human epidermal stem cells can adapt to small temperature variations via mTOR signaling, and that prolonged mTORC1 inhibition supports stem cell maintenance.
