This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

This study measured plasma testosterone glucosiduronate levels and found no overlap in those with hyperandrogenism compared to normal females, despite normal testosterone and dihydrotestosterone levels in half of the affected patients.

In this study, a plasma-fluorescent corticoid test effectively differentiated patients with adrenal insufficiency from those with normal adrenal function based on their response to corticotropin.

This article explores the possibility that veterinarians may test positive for ketamine due to occupational exposure, but it reports no specific new findings.

This study found that while most adolescents with PCOS do not show overt diabetes, over half have insulin resistance, and ethnicity is a significant predictor of type 2 diabetes.

This study found that testosterone therapy increased bone mineral density in older men with low testosterone, and combining it with finasteride may reduce prostate enlargement associated with testosterone treatment.

This study found that a basal 17-hydroxyprogesterone level is effective for screening nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women, with a 4 ng/mL cutoff providing high specificity and positive predictive value.

This study found trilostane to be an effective and generally safe treatment for improving symptoms in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism.

This study analyzed patch test results to identify allergens causing scalp contact dermatitis, finding nickel, cobalt, and balsam of Peru among the most common in the patient population.

This review summarizes current understanding and genetic insights into androgenetic alopecia, female pattern hair loss, and alopecia areata, noting the potential future role of molecular diagnostics, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a green tea extract gel was stable across various temperatures, did not cause eye irritation, and significantly increased eyelash growth compared to a placebo after two months of use in human volunteers.

This study found that transdermal testosterone significantly increased the frequency of satisfactory sexual events in women experiencing SSRI/SNRI-related loss of libido, but did not improve overall sexual self-rating scores.

This study found that honokiol inhibits enzymes related to testosterone degradation in vitro, suggesting its potential as a lead compound for developing antiaging bioactive ingredients for men.

This review discusses the potential of using human hair proteomics for non-invasive diagnostic and forensic applications but reports no new results; the authors highlight areas needing further research.

This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance and strength in older men with low testosterone over 36 months, whether administered alone or with finasteride.

This review discusses strategies for developing semi-solid topical generic products to match the quality of reference-listed drugs, using concepts like quality by design and reverse-engineering, but reports no new results.

This article provides guidelines for molecular genetic testing of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, focusing on quality requirements, methodologies, and variant classification; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that testosterone replacement, with or without finasteride, did not lead to significant cognitive improvements over 36 months in healthy older men without prior cognitive impairment.

This study found that Piper nigrum leaf extract showed in vivo anti-androgenic activity and potent 5α-reductase inhibitory effects, with piperine and (−)-cubebin identified as active components.

This study found that a testosterone patch and gel showed bioequivalent testosterone levels in hypogonadal men, but the patch mimicked a natural circadian profile, while the gel resulted in higher dihydrotestosterone levels.

This study found that intravaginal testosterone significantly improved sexual satisfaction and reduced dyspareunia in postmenopausal women using aromatase inhibitors, with no effect on urinary incontinence.

This review discusses the potential of using high-throughput and high-content screening methods for drug repositioning in rare diseases and reports no new results.

This study found that Cacumen platycladi extract significantly promoted hair growth and reduced dihydrotestosterone levels by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity in an androgen-sensitive mouse model.

This study found that coadministration of 5α-reductase inhibitors with oral testosterone in oil significantly increases serum testosterone levels in medically castrated men compared to testosterone alone, with food intake minimally affecting these levels.

This study found that a 5-mg daily dose of transdermal testosterone cream in postmenopausal women restored testosterone levels to those typical of premenopausal women.

This article reviews guidelines for testosterone replacement therapy in late-onset hypogonadism, emphasizing the need for clear indications and appropriate testing before treatment, but provides no new research findings.

This article discusses the development and testing of comprehensible over-the-counter drug product labels, highlighting the need for improved consumer understanding and calling for further research on label design.

This study identified specific miRNAs and mRNAs involved in the development of secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats, particularly noting a targeted relationship between chi-miR-30e-5p and DLL4.

This review discusses the limitations of serum androgen measurements in diagnosing and treating women with potential androgen-related disorders and the potential role of androgen replacement therapy for those with sexual interest/arousal disorders, reporting no new results.

This study found that combining oral testosterone with dutasteride increased testosterone bioavailability in hypogonadal men while suppressing dihydrotestosterone levels over a 28-day period.
