Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.

Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.

Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.

There is no clear recommendation for using selenium in cancer patients; it may be beneficial to correct low selenium levels before treatment.

Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.

The study suggests that motor neurons created from stem cells of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy show signs of the disease, including changes in protein levels and cell functions.

To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.

The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.

Doctors should know how to diagnose and treat PCOS, which often involves checking for high male hormone levels and using medications to manage symptoms.

A boy with chromosome 13q deletion syndrome developed eye cancer, a woman with breast cancer lost vision due to a rare side-effect of her treatment, a man's vision worsened after using a hair loss drug, and two rare disorders were discussed. Optical Coherence Tomography is useful for diagnosing and monitoring these conditions.

An mFG score of 7 or higher indicates hirsutism in Filipino women, often linked to higher free testosterone levels.

5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.

Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.

Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.

No clear link between hair loss and metabolic syndrome, but some differences in blood pressure and glucose levels.

A baby boy with 13q deletion syndrome had eye cancer, a woman's vision improved after stopping a breast cancer drug, a man developed cataracts from using Propecia, and a rare skin disorder called Lipoid Proteinosis was discussed. Also, a tool called OCT is useful for diagnosing macular diseases.

The document discusses various eye conditions and their treatments, including a rare eye cancer in a baby, vision loss from a cancer drug, cataracts from a baldness treatment, a rare skin disorder, and a specific type of eye disease diagnosed with a special imaging technique.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

The document concludes that managing hirsutism involves identifying the cause, using a scoring system for severity, combining cosmetic and medical treatments, encouraging weight loss, and providing psychological support, while noting the need for more research on drug treatments.

The FDA warned about safety issues with remdesivir and tofacitinib, finasteride is linked to suicidality, potent topical corticosteroids increase osteoporosis risk, henna can cause hemolysis in G6PD deficiency, chemotherapeutic agents can cause adverse reactions, drug interactions are common in cancer patients, ketamine can reduce at-risk drinking, high dose of anticholinergics increases dementia risk in Parkinson's patients, and prenatal exposure to second-generation antipsychotics increases pregnancy complications.
