This study found that premature hair greying may be associated with low serum ferritin and raised anti-TPO levels.

This review suggests that, among non-hormonal treatments for menstrual irregularities in adolescents with PCOS, metformin is the most effective and cost-efficient option, particularly in overweight adolescent girls.

In this study, subclinical hypothyroidism in women with PCOS was linked to changes in the thyroid-prolactin axis and a lack of correlation between TSH and AMH, while gonadotropin levels and ovarian morphology remained unaffected, indicating the need for further prospective research.

This study found that scalp cooling resulted in visible hair retention in 53% of breast cancer patients undergoing Epirubicin/Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel treatment, with factors like hair bulb diameter, shaft diameter, and anagen rate significantly predicting outcomes.

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.

Tailored medication preparation and ongoing education are crucial for effective treatments.

This study found that metformin's effect on reducing prolactin levels is less pronounced in women with PCOS compared to control subjects, likely due to higher endogenous testosterone levels, despite improvements in insulin sensitivity in both groups after six months of treatment.

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.

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 review discusses the hormonal impact on hair growth and the relationship between endocrine disorders and hair changes, reporting no new clinical results.

This paper reviews delusional infestation, its characteristics, and treatment options, highlighting a case study of a man with a strong belief in a nonexistent lice infestation and recommending low-dose antipsychotics for primary cases.

Different medications can cause serious side effects in some people.

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 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.

This case report describes a rare conversion from Hashimoto's thyroiditis to Graves' disease in a 23-year-old male, requiring a shift from levothyroxine to methimazole and eventually radioactive iodine therapy.

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 correspondence outlines a research aim to evaluate the usefulness of laboratory testing for telogen effluvium to assist in forming evidence-based treatment guidelines, though results are not provided in the abstract.

The researchers reported that COVID-induced telogen effluvium can occur after both severe and mild infections, potentially presenting earlier than other causes, and necessitates specific patient management due to its psychological impact.

This study reported that alopecia areata following COVID-19 vaccination is rare, occurring mostly after the first dose and associated with several vaccine types, particularly Pfizer.

This review discusses the roles of hormonal pathways in regulating male sexual function, particularly highlighting the impact of testosterone, and reports no new research findings.

This review highlights that the epidermis acts as an endocrine organ, synthesizing and responding to hormones such as corticosteroids and Vitamin D, impacting processes like hair growth and immune response, and participating in regulating endocrine balance.

This consensus paper reviews expert opinions on treating telogen effluvium but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher levels of several autoantibodies compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential autoimmune component to PCOS that might aid in better disease characterization and personalized management.

This chapter reviews the complex relationship between PCOS and sexual dysfunction, highlighting its fundamental role as a biopsychosocial manifestation rather than a secondary complication, and calls for comprehensive, patient-centered care; it reports no new clinical results.

In this case report and literature review, researchers observed that black hairy tongue syndrome can be improved by dietary restrictions and local care, identifying factors like antibiotics, malignancies, and certain medications as common triggers, with resolution achieved by eliminating these factors when possible.

This case study reported on a 30-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2, highlighting rare co-occurrence with alopecia universalis and emphasizing the importance of recognizing non-endocrine symptoms for early diagnosis and management of autoimmune endocrinopathies.

This review discusses possible medication-induced hair loss and the need to exclude other confounding factors like stress and illness; it reports no new clinical findings and emphasizes careful assessment before attributing hair loss to medications.

This article reviews the hormonal and medication-related factors associated with acne development but does not present new research findings.

Birth control pills and anti-androgen medications help manage hair growth, acne, and hair loss in women with PCOS.

This article reviews stress and anxiety, noting that stress can be a normal response to life pressures but can also lead to health issues; it emphasizes that, in addition to modern management, mindfulness meditation may reduce stress and improve well-being.
