research Cutaneous Signs in COVID-19 Patients: A Review
COVID-19 can cause different skin symptoms that may help with early diagnosis and show how severe the disease is.
research Androgen Sensitivity Gateway to COVID-19 Disease Severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research Sex Differences in COVID-19: The Role of Androgens in Disease Severity and Progression
Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.
research Are the Cutaneous Manifestations During or Due to SARS-CoV-2 Infection/COVID-19 Frequent or Not? Revision of Possible Pathophysiologic Mechanisms
Skin problems in COVID-19 patients are rare and may be due to the body's complex immune response or blood clotting issues.
research Clinical and Histopathological Features and Potential Pathological Mechanisms of Skin Lesions in COVID-19: Review of the Literature
COVID-19 can cause various skin lesions, which may result from the virus and immune response, and are not directly linked to illness severity.
research COVID-19: Understanding Inter-Individual Variability and Implications for Precision Medicine
The conclusion is that individual differences in COVID-19 severity are influenced by factors like age, sex, race, and genetics, which are important for personalized medicine.
research Are Sex Discordant Outcomes in COVID-19 Related to Sex Hormones?
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with men often faring worse, and targeting related pathways could offer treatment options.
research The Role of Androgens in COVID-19
Higher androgen levels might make COVID-19 worse, especially in men.
research Redefining Hormone Resistance in Prostate Cancer
The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.
research Spironolactone: An Anti-Androgenic and Anti-Hypertensive Drug That May Provide Protection Against the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in COVID-19
Spironolactone might help protect against severe lung problems in COVID-19 patients.
research Repurposing Existing Drugs for COVID-19: An Endocrinology Perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Relationship Between Betacoronaviruses and the Endocrine System: A New Key to Understand the COVID-19 Pandemic—A Comprehensive Review
Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.
research Testosterone Target Therapy: Focus on Immune Response, Controversies, and Clinical Implications in Patients with COVID-19 Infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
research The Probable Destructive Mechanisms Behind COVID-19 on Male Reproductive System and Fertility
COVID-19 may harm male fertility and damage the reproductive system.
research The Immune Response to COVID-19: Does Sex Matter?
Men and women get COVID-19 at similar rates, but men tend to get sicker and have a higher risk of dying, while women usually have stronger immune responses and vaccine reactions.
research Targeting Host Cell Proteases as a Potential Treatment Strategy to Limit the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the Respiratory Tract
Blocking enzymes that help the virus enter cells could be a promising way to treat COVID-19.
research Basic Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Implications for Endocrine Systems
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy May Be a More Effective COVID-19 Prophylactic Than Therapeutic Strategy
