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

This review discusses the role of zebrafish as a model for studying human hereditary pigmentary disorders and reports no new experimental results, emphasizing their genetic similarities and the genetic tools available.

This research highlights the importance of considering hypothyroidism in dogs for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent potentially life-threatening complications, given its relative commonality compared to other diseases causing dermatological changes or obesity in these animals.

This case report highlights that Sheehan syndrome, though rare in developed countries, can occur and underscores the importance of detailed history taking to uncover the cause of atypical presentations.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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 narrative review discusses advancements in the understanding and treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis as a manifestation of celiac disease and reports no new research results.

This review discusses biotinidase deficiency, noting that biotin treatment from birth can prevent symptoms, but acknowledges the complexity and need for further understanding due to late-onset cases with varied clinical findings.

This review explores the potential impact of hormonal changes during aging on benign prostate hyperplasia-related urinary symptoms and metabolic syndrome, highlighting the hypothesis of a male PCOS-equivalent but reports no new clinical results.

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.

This study reported that a novel cell culture medium gel significantly increased hair counts and reduced hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia over a six-month period.

This review discusses the pathogenesis of melasma, including genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, and highlights potential avenues for new treatments and preventive strategies, but reports no new experimental findings.

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 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 identified several rare genetic variants related to insulin resistance in women with PCOS, highlighting the potential for monogenic conditions in patients with extreme or atypical phenotypes.

This report describes a 38-year-old female diagnosed with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome Type II after presenting with shock.

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.

This study found that low-dose radioactive iodine therapy for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer produced short-term adverse effects like loss of taste, xerostomia, and hair loss, which were self-limiting.

This review discusses the causes and management of hirsutism, recommending low-dose oral contraceptives with flutamide over cyproterone-containing preparations, but reports no new clinical findings.

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.

In this case study, a 7-year-old girl was diagnosed with Isolated Premature Pubarche after presenting with pubic hair growth and normal hormonal and bone age assessments.

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 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 study evaluated a polyherbal hair oil formulation that included hibiscus flower and other plant extracts, suggesting it may increase hair growth, reduce hair loss, and provide dandruff protection.

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.
