This study found that obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenism increase the risk of depression and food cravings in women with PCOS, exacerbating obesity and metabolic syndrome.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the Black Sea Region had higher levels of androgens, obesity, and insulin resistance, increasing their risk of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy women.

In this study, AA patients and healthy controls showed no significant difference in carotid intima-media thickness, but AA patients had higher diastolic blood pressure and fasting blood glucose levels, indicating potential cardiovascular risks.

This study found that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of depression, tension induction, and impaired stress coping strategies compared to healthy controls, with these psychological issues correlating with hyperandrogenism but not with central obesity or insulin resistance.

This study found that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia had an 18% higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases compared to control subjects, with certain subtypes showing a more pronounced increase.

This study found that metabolic syndrome is more common in individuals with androgenic alopecia compared to those without, and that free androgen index could help identify those with the syndrome.

This study found that genetic variants linked to hypothyroidism significantly increased the risk of developing alopecia areata, suggesting a causative connection between the two conditions.

This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata have significantly lower serum ferritin levels than those without hair loss, suggesting a potential link between these types of alopecia and decreased iron stores.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have a higher prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and increased androgen bioavailability may be involved alongside metabolic factors.

This review discusses the clinical features of trichotillomania and the challenges in its diagnosis and treatment, reporting no new clinical findings while highlighting the need for specialized therapy and better therapeutic options.

This article reviews evidence suggesting that vitamin D may help manage Hashimoto’s thyroiditis by affecting immune pathways and improving thyroid function, though more research is needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential.

This study concluded that heterozygosity for CYP21 mutations is associated with higher mean and free testosterone levels in women but does not significantly increase their risk of developing clinically evident hyperandrogenism.

This study identified four new genetic loci associated with acne risk and highlighted key pathways involved in its genetic predisposition, potentially explaining 9.4% of acne's phenotypic variance.

This study found no significant association between vitamin D levels and alopecia areata in patients when gender was accounted for, but vitamin D levels were lower in patients with nail involvement.

This study found that serum zinc levels were lower in PCOS subjects compared to normal controls, suggesting zinc may play a vital role in PCOS pathophysiology.

This study found an association between atopic dermatitis and autoimmune diseases in both adults and children, with women more likely to experience these complications, but further research is needed due to limited participant numbers.

This report describes a rare case of painless thyroiditis induced by prolonged off-label use of Lugol’s solution in a 59-year-old woman.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata were more likely to experience hearing loss compared to healthy individuals, potentially due to damage to follicular melanocytes involved in the autoimmune process.

This study determined that men taking finasteride 1 mg/day exhibited significantly reduced sperm production and morphology compared to controls, although there were no notable changes in hormonal, sexual, or psychological function.

This study found that patients with vitiligo in the United States had higher rates of autoimmune conditions, infections, and skin cancer compared to matched controls, with higher vitiligo prevalence in Asian and Hispanic populations.

This study observed that Nigerian women with PCOS have significantly higher levels of myocardial biomarkers (MYO, cTnI, CK-MB), indicating potential chronic, subclinical myocardial injury in this population.

This study found that patients with trichodynia associated with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of substance P in both tissue and serum compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential role for this neurotransmitter in the condition's pathogenesis.

This study found no significant difference in serum Vitamin D levels between children with alopecia areata and healthy controls, nor was there any correlation between Vitamin D levels and the severity, duration, or pattern of the condition, or nail changes.

The researchers in this study identified molecular mechanisms involved in frontal fibrosis alopecia, highlighting immune response and fatty acid metabolism, and developed a four-gene diagnostic model showing high accuracy in distinguishing affected individuals from controls.

This study found that all examined biomarkers and clinical features were elevated in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, particularly ANA and Anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, but no single biomarker was sensitive or specific enough for diagnosis.

In this study, patients with premature graying of hair had lower levels of zinc, magnesium, and Vitamin B12 compared to healthy controls.

This study found that women with post-adolescent acne experience marked menstrual irregularities, polycystic ovaries, androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome, but insulin resistance and dyslipidemia may not significantly contribute to their acne's pathogenesis.

This article reviews various hypotheses on the pathogenesis of vitiligo and aims to evaluate potential provoking factors, but presents no new clinical findings.

The woman's rare combination of diseases suggests an unknown factor may predispose individuals to multiple endocrine diseases.

This study reported that almost 25% of women with PCOS were diagnosed with NAFLD, and 32.7% to 44.6% had metabolic syndrome, with higher prevalence in those with both conditions.
