This review reports that anti-androgens, often combined with contraception, are supported for managing PCOS symptoms related to high androgen levels, but uncertainties remain about long-term safety and metabolic effects, indicating a need for future research on various treatment approaches.

This case study of a toy poodle with Cushing syndrome found that after unsuccessful initial treatments, hair growth and symptom alleviation occurred following daily administration of o,p'-DDD, despite initial side effects.

This review discusses the role of gut steroids in communicating with the gut microbiota and their potential implications in treating gastrointestinal disorders and related brain conditions, suggesting new perspectives on steroid molecules as therapeutic agents.

This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.

This study reports that once neoplastic causes are excluded, functional hirsutism can be effectively treated with low-dose dexamethasone, oral contraceptives, and spironolactone.

This review explores the role of Granzyme B in autoimmune skin diseases and highlights its potential as a therapeutic target due to its involvement in impaired barrier function and inflammation.

Machine learning can use blood tests to help predict moderate-to-severe alopecia areata.

This study found a significant association between androgenic alopecia and periodontal disease in men aged 25–44, suggesting the relationship may begin early in adulthood.

This study describes cases of diffuse alopecia and thyroid alterations in sheep, linking selenium and zinc deficiencies to decreased serum T3 and T4 concentrations and related skin conditions.

This study suggests that finasteride treatment may improve pulmonary immune response in mice following trauma and sepsis, indicating potential as a therapeutic option after major trauma.

This study found that uric acid-linked microvascular dysfunction may play a role in alopecia areata, suggesting that targeting endothelial function and uric acid regulation could be a potential management strategy.

This study found that intramuscular injections of a PRP-derivative in healthy beagle dogs did not result in statistically significant changes in lumbar muscle tissue or IGF-1 blood concentration, suggesting the treatment may be safe at therapeutic doses.

This study found that topical corticosteroids are the most supported first-line treatment for pediatric alopecia areata, with contact immunotherapy as the next best option.

This study describes a case where finasteride treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy was associated with gynecomastia in a 62-year-old man, which resolved after the drug was discontinued.

This study found that patients with vitiligo commonly had facial involvement and associated autoimmune thyroid disease, highlighting the importance of monitoring thyroid antibodies and regular follow-up.

This review discusses skin diseases related to contraceptive use, reporting potential issues with oral contraceptives and infrequent reactions to mechanical or barrier methods without new clinical findings.

This article discusses the presence of iron in segmented heterochromia of scalp hair and concludes that it occurs without iron-deficiency anemia, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that a high dose of epidermal growth factor induced hair loss in sheep by causing apoptosis in anagen hair and transitioning the hair cycle to catagen.

In this observational study, researchers found that 55% of participants with hair loss known as Khalitya had serum calcium deficiency, which aligns with both Ayurvedic and modern perspectives linking poor nutrition to hair disorder, highlighting the importance of dietary regulation and stress management.

This study found that both Th1 and Th2 cytokine markers were elevated in the serum and skin of patients with alopecia areata, with Th2 markers more closely linked to disease severity.

This paper discusses potential links between fat distribution, adipocyte dysfunction, and inflammatory markers in PCOS patients, without presenting new clinical data.

In this study, increased corticosterone from chronic stress prolonged hair follicle stem cell quiescence in mice, inhibiting regeneration, but restoring Gas6 expression overcame this inhibition.

In this study, a patient with cystic fibrosis developed iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to impaired clearance of budesonide from concurrent itraconazole use, highlighting the need for regular monitoring in such combination therapies.

This case study observed that long-term itraconazole and budesonide use in a cystic fibrosis patient led to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to inhibited metabolic clearance of budesonide, suggesting a need for regular adrenal insufficiency monitoring in such treatments.

This review highlights the efficacy of transdermal testosterone therapy in improving sexual function in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, though approved formulations and long-term safety data are limited.

In this study, researchers found that overexpression of IGF-1 in transgenic mice stimulated increased vibrissa growth during the first neonatal hair cycle compared to their nontransgenic littermates.

This article discusses methods for diagnosing and managing diffuse hair loss and reports no new results; the authors emphasize systematic evaluation and the importance of psychological support.

The exact cause of growth hormone-responsive alopecia in dogs is unclear.
