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 report describes a case of a 75-year-old woman whose diagnosis of hypopituitarism led to significant weight gain and improved physical function with treatment, highlighting the potential for overcoming frailty when investigating underlying causes in elderly patients.

This case report from a pediatric setting highlighted how an 11-year-old with Hashimoto thyroiditis experienced atypical manifestations such as short stature, pubertal issues, and hair loss after starting levothyroxine therapy, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care to improve health outcomes.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with hypothyroidism was found to have Hashimoto thyroiditis after presenting with hair loss, short stature, and pubertal disturbances; the study emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and personalized thyroid hormone therapy for better outcomes.

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 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 study observed that among 81 children with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, girls were more affected than boys, with symptoms like neck swelling, fatigue, and hair loss frequently occurring, and most cases requiring treatment with levothyroxine.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

This review highlights the potential of integrating non-surgical hair restoration treatments, such as nutraceuticals and PRP injections, into plastic surgery practices, especially for female patients, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that hormone replacement therapy and autoimmune diseases may be more common among women with frontal fibrosing alopecia compared to those with androgenetic alopecia.

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 study reported that platelet-rich plasma therapy combined with intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was beneficial for patients with alopecia totalis, helping them reduce reliance on oral immunosuppressants.

This veterinary case study of a dog with myxedema coma found clinical and pathologic changes including severe thyroid atrophy and marked atherosclerosis consistent with the diagnosis.

This case report describes severe hypothyroidism exacerbated by nephrotic syndrome in a 62-year-old woman, with a diagnosis of membranous nephropathy linked to significant proteinuria.

This case report describes a rare instance of generalized hypertrichosis in a 1-year-old boy linked to secondary exposure to topical minoxidil, highlighting the need for a broad differential diagnosis.

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

This review concluded that no treatments for postpartum alopecia have been studied adequately to support their effectiveness, based on significant limitations in the available research.

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.

This study found that the prevalence of alopecia areata in Japan increased from 2012 to 2019, with allergic diseases as common comorbidities and a need for more effective treatments, particularly for severe and pediatric cases.
