Most men with lichen planopilaris had it confirmed by biopsy and often had thyroid issues, sexual dysfunction, or prostate cancer, hinting at a link with hormonal problems.

This review discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the endocrine system and reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need to investigate endocrine damage during and after COVID-19 infection.

This article discusses the importance of interpreting laboratory data and performing physical assessments to support pharmacists in clinical decision-making and patient consultations, but reports no new empirical findings.

This article highlights the need for dermatologists to define evidence-based standards to provide high-value care and reduce unnecessary testing, as recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology.

This article discusses the diagnostic approach to focal alopecia in dogs, focusing on distinguishing between pruritic skin disease and inflammatory or non-inflammatory causes; it presents no new experimental results.

In this study, zinc deficiency, iron depletion, and thyroid abnormalities were commonly observed in female pattern hair loss patients, suggesting the benefit of testing for these conditions.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor, but not its ligand, regulates genes involved in hair cycle progression, suggesting a role in integrating hormone signaling pathways for hair and epidermal functions.

This study analyzed screening data from 218 alopecia areata patients before starting Janus kinase inhibitors, revealing the importance of pre-treatment screening due to risks of infections like tuberculosis and hepatitis B, with 74.8% of patients proceeding to treatment in real-world settings.

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 review highlights the eye and skin manifestations of endocrine-related metabolic diseases but provides no new clinical results.

This review emphasizes the potential of repurposing topical L-thyroxine for skin ulcers and telogen effluvium and highlights the need for further exploration of its use in dermatology.

Hormones significantly affect skin health, with vitamin D playing a key role.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and highlights the need for comprehensive clinical assessment, but does not report new clinical findings.

This article reviews the historical development of understanding the hair growth cycle, particularly anagen, catagen, and telogen phases, and reports no new clinical findings.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

In this study of patients with obesity, the most common skin disorders observed were acanthosis nigricans, skin tags, and stretch marks, emphasizing the impact of obesity on dermatological health.

In this study, researchers identified loss of function variants in the HR gene as likely causes of the distinct roaning hair coat seen in lykoi cats.

This study found that PCOS patients with menstrual disorders exhibited hormonal changes and higher fasting glucose levels, despite no significant differences in insulin resistance markers.

This study found that young women with PCOS had normal thyroid function but showed alterations in lipid metabolism, which may predispose unmarried women in this group to cardiovascular diseases.

This study found a strong association between thyroid disorders and dermatological conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia areata, and melasma, suggesting a benefit to including thyroid function tests in routine investigations for these conditions.

In this study, sensorineural hearing loss was significantly more frequent in patients with alopecia areata compared to healthy controls, suggesting a relationship between the autoimmune condition and hearing function.

In this mouse study, severe selenoprotein deficiency in epidermal cells was linked to skin abnormalities, disrupted hair follicle development, and progressive alopecia, highlighting the role of selenoproteins in skin and hair health.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This article reviews dermatological manifestations of endocrine diseases in dogs, such as hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism, but reports no new clinical findings.

These guidelines recommend testing thyroid function in patients with obesity due to common hypothyroidism, and highlight that weight loss is crucial for addressing hormonal imbalances, with only modest weight loss benefits from treating endocrine disorders.

In this study, a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis found a causal link between alopecia areata and hypothyroidism, indicating that each condition may influence the other, while no similar relationship was observed between androgenetic alopecia and hypothyroidism.

This study suggests that low serum iron and ferritin levels may be associated with telogen effluvium in patients presenting with hair loss.

This study found that laboratory testing practices for alopecia areata vary among international hair experts, with the majority routinely conducting thyroid function and complete blood count tests, yet exhibiting diverse approaches toward testing for other conditions or before prescribing systemic therapy.

In this study, researchers examined the prevalence of comorbid conditions among 402 alopecia areata patients, finding that hypothyroidism was notably more frequent in women, while hyperlipidemia was more common in men, with overall thyroid function testing suggested for these patients.

This study suggests that female patients with alopecia areata, especially those with nail abnormalities and atopic diseases, may have higher rates of coexisting autoimmune diseases.
