This study found that 27% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome reported perceived scalp hair thinning, which was associated with factors like advancing age, subjective hirsutism, disturbed sleep, smoking, abnormal glucose tolerance, and meal skipping.

This article discusses telogen effluvium, emphasizing the importance of understanding its natural progression and highlights the need for a detailed patient evaluation but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, withdrawal from progesterone and treatment with finasteride were associated with increased signs of depression-like behavior in female mice, suggesting decreased allopregnanolone levels may play a role.

In this study, dementia caregivers showed lower hair cortisol levels than controls despite reporting higher perceived stress, providing weak support for the Perseverative Cognition Hypothesis and suggesting complex effects of caregiving stress.

In this study, researchers examined thyroid function and autoantibody levels in patients with alopecia areata and vitiligo, finding similar rates of thyroid dysfunction and autoantibody presence in both groups, with no significant differences based on ethnicity or gender.

This case study describes a 15-year-old girl with a Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor who showed high androgen levels and steroidogenic responses similar to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome before surgery.

In this case study, a 62-year-old woman with severe hyperandrogenism underwent a clomiphene test, which suggested an ovarian origin for her condition, leading to the discovery of a Leydig cell tumor after a bilateral oophorectomy.

In this study, oral minoxidil treatment significantly increased serum VEGF levels and improved hair growth measures compared to a control group, suggesting its potential as an effective approach for promoting hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia.

This analysis of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial found that finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk by nearly 25% and enhances the PSA test's ability to detect prostate cancer and high-risk diseases.

This study found a significant correlation between age and androgen alopecia levels in male patients with COVID-19, and it suggests an association between gender and androgen alopecia prevalence in this hospitalized group.

This study found that trichothiodystrophy can be diagnosed prenatally in the second trimester using an endoscopically-guided fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being the most reliable test.

In this study, it was found that higher test anxiety negatively correlated with lower OSCE performance among medical students at Taif Medical College, with female students experiencing a greater impact than males.

In a rat model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that low-level laser treatment significantly accelerated hair regrowth without affecting the efficacy of chemotherapy.

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 study found that trilostane treatment led to complete hair regrowth in three Alaskan malamutes with ACTH-stimulated elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels within 6 months without any recognized adverse effects.

This study concluded that both vaginal TEST and Estring may be effective for treating vaginal dryness in breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitors, with adverse events being rare and manageable.

This study found that progesterone implantation in castrated male rats mitigated stress-induced increases in corticosterone levels and protected against spatial memory impairment and increased exploratory behavior.

In this study involving patients with Multiple Sclerosis, higher hair cortisol levels and being Black were linked to poorer cognitive performance, while increased perceived stress and depression were associated with greater fatigue, highlighting distinct associations between objective and subjective stress measures and MS-related outcomes.

This study focused on developing and validating standardized methods to reliably assess hair growth and scalp health in androgenetic alopecia, finding significant differences in hair parameters such as vellus and terminal hair counts, density, and thickness between affected and standardized areas.

In this case report, a 55-year-old postmenopausal woman was diagnosed with ovarian hyperthecosis as the cause of her hyperandrogenism after detailed hormonal and imaging investigations, which was successfully treated with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, leading to symptom improvement and normalized testosterone levels.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This study found that surgical removal of adrenal glands resolved clinical signs of adrenocortical tumors and hyperplasias in ferrets, but cortisol levels were not excessively high.

This study found that combined Myo-inositol and D-chiro-inositol therapy improved metabolic and hormonal parameters, including weight, hormone levels, and skin conditions, in women with PCOS after 6 months.

This study found that in female patients with androgenic hair loss and hirsutism, complex hormonal disturbances include elevated cortisol and thyroid hormone imbalances, rather than elevated androgen levels alone.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

This case report illustrates that high-dose biotin supplementation can cause false thyroid function test abnormalities in vitro, emphasizing the need to assess biotin intake before testing.

This case report suggests that the progestogen-only pill may cause false-positive aldosterone/renin ratio results in primary hyperaldosteronism screening, indicating it should be omitted before testing.

This study observed that certain changes in facial "heart representation areas," like eyebrow hair whitening and loss, are associated with cardiovascular issues and may correspond with increased Cardiac Troponin I levels.

This article discusses the diagnosis and management of autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome, emphasizing the importance of excluding other causes and integrating psychiatric consultation, but it reports no new clinical results.

Lowering 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases anxiety and depression in proestrous rats.
