This case study suggests that marijuana use may be associated with low TSH levels without causing thyroid dysfunction in humans.

In this study, 25% of alopecia areata patients were found to have autoimmune disorders, with hypothyroidism being the most common, highlighting the importance of screening for autoimmune conditions, particularly thyroid disorders, in these patients.

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 case report, researchers observed that the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab may worsen hypothyroidism in patients, as seen in a 60-year-old woman with metastatic duodenal carcinoma. The authors suggest that thyroid function should be monitored when using VEGF inhibitor therapies due to potential adverse effects.

This case report describes a unique instance where elevated prolactin levels from a pituitary adenoma were associated with hirsutism due to increased dihydrotestosterone, with treatment leading to normalization.

This study reviews current treatments for PCOS and evaluates Tirzepatide as a potential option for its management, suggesting possible benefits for those with obesity and metabolic syndrome but not for those of normal weight.

This case report describes an unusual instance of myxedema in a woman with severe hypothyroidism, presenting with skin findings in atypical locations and improvement following levothyroxine treatment.

This case report describes the use of individualized homoeopathic treatment and dietary modifications to manage hypothyroidism in a 23-year-old woman, resulting in symptom improvement and normalized TSH levels after tapering off levothyroxine.

This meta-analysis found that the prevalence of PCOS among Iranian women varies by diagnostic criteria, with notable rates of associated complications like hirsutism, acne, and menstrual disorders.

This study found that several preservatives, including triclocarban and triclosan, showed potential endocrine-disrupting effects on various nuclear receptors in both in silico and in vitro models.

This article provides a narrative on managing dermatologic side effects from cancer therapies and suggests strategies that oncologists could adopt, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the expression of circadian genes in hair follicles and their potential for monitoring circadian-rhythm-related conditions, reporting no clinical results; the authors suggest combining hair sampling with other assessments for better insight.

This study found no statistical difference in thiol-disulfide balance between telogen effluvium patients and controls, suggesting oxidative stress may not affect telogen effluvium through this mechanism.

This review discusses the potential of a low-dose comprehensive cyclical nutrient therapy for enhancing hair growth and strengthening hair roots, but reports no new experimental results.

This study examined the follicular unit density in the scalp and beard donor areas of Indian men undergoing hair restoration surgery, reporting mean densities of 78.2/cm² and 49.7/cm² respectively, and proposed guidelines for safe follicular unit extraction.

This study reported that frontal fibrosing alopecia predominantly affects postmenopausal women and identified potential risk factors like frequent β-blocker use and sunscreen application, indicating the need for further research.

In this study, researchers observed that fasting-induced molting in laying hens led to increased thyroid hormones, which may regulate feather molting by affecting hair follicle growth through specific signaling pathways, highlighting molecular changes during induced molting.

In this study, post-COVID-19 patients showed substantial multisystem symptoms six to eight months after infection compared to controls, with a higher burden in non-respiratory areas like fatigue and neurocognitive issues, despite respiratory symptoms largely resolving.

This review discusses the uncertain role of immune factors, particularly autoantibodies, in the development of alopecia areata and emphasizes that identifying key autoantigens could lead to targeted immunotherapies.

This literature review provides insights into the multifactorial causes of hair loss, highlighting genetic, hormonal, immune, and environmental factors, and summarizes preventive strategies like balanced nutrition and stress management to promote healthier hair.

This review examines the hormonal causes of hair loss, noting how androgen excess can lead to follicle miniaturization and linking estrogen deficiency and thyroid dysfunction to common alopecia types. It further discusses hormonal treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone.

This study reviewed current knowledge on Traditional Chinese Medicine, finding that Chinese herbs may reduce chronic urticaria activity, psoriasis severity, benign thyroid nodules, and improve β-cell function in diabetes. The authors noted the need for further research and the development of high-quality TCM pharmaceuticals.

The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.

This report from SRUC VS highlighted a suspected case of Schmallenberg virus infection in a calf born to an imported heifer, noting consistent clinical signs and seroconversion in the dam.

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 source reports that telogenic hair loss, while not leading to complete baldness, significantly impacts patients' quality of life due to its effects on their psychoemotional state; no standardized treatment currently exists, so therapy focuses on addressing trigger factors and psychological well-being.

This study by a panel of 13 clinicians led to 22 consensus statements recommending approaches for diagnosing scarring and nonscarring alopecias, suggesting scalp biopsy for suspected scarring alopecias and specific serologic tests for nonscarring types like alopecia areata based on clinical presentation.

This review discusses the complex nature, diagnostic approach, and management strategies of polycystic ovary syndrome, emphasizing the importance of individualized care without presenting new clinical findings.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on androgenetic alopecia, including its epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management, but presents no new research findings.

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.
