This case report describes a 47-year-old male with rare total melanonychia linked to vitamin B12 deficiency, whose nail discoloration and constitutional symptoms improved following vitamin B12 supplementation.

This meta-analysis found that dutasteride was more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and improving photographic assessments for men with androgenetic alopecia, while both drugs had similar rates of sexual dysfunction-related adverse effects.

In this study, researchers found a significant prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in Egyptian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with insulin resistance being a key predictive factor.

This case report documented a 32-year-old man's acute pancreatitis following an overdose of finasteride, highlighting the potential for rare but severe side effects from the drug in overdose situations, and suggesting a need for further research into its safety.

In this study, researchers found that patients with new-onset mild alopecia areata had higher levels of oxidative stress markers and reduced antioxidant levels compared to healthy individuals, suggesting that oxidative stress might play a role in the condition.

In this study, overweight women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who took evening primrose oil for 10 weeks experienced significant reductions in BMI, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, alongside hormonal changes such as decreased LH, FSH, and testosterone levels, and increased estrogen.

This study assessed the nutritional status of emerging adult women with PCOS and found that while their body measurements were higher than standard, their mean biochemical parameters were within the normal range.

This study reported a 6.3% prevalence of PCOS among women in a Sri Lankan community, with most cases presenting as oligo/amenorrhea and polycystic ovaries.

In this study, short-term liraglutide treatment led to significant weight loss in obese women with newly diagnosed PCOS and a higher metabolic risk profile compared to metformin.

This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with alopecia mucinosa presenting multiple enlarging facial plaques, indicating a potentially non-benign course despite prior classifications.

This article discusses various hormonal therapies for acne and provides practical treatment guidelines for managing hormonally related acne, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that obese Taiwanese women had a lower incidence of acne than non-obese women, despite having higher serum testosterone levels.

This article presents a dissenting opinion, arguing that the case described by Dr. Molina et al. was diffuse alopecia areata, not acute alopecia areata as claimed, emphasizing the importance of distinct clinical differences.

This case study reports that a virilizing Leydig cell type ovarian tumor in a 40-year-old woman caused hyperandrogenism and virilization symptoms, which improved post-surgery.

This study assessed various androgens' diagnostic effectiveness for hyperandrogenaemia in PCOS using ROC curve analysis, but it reports no specific new results.

This study found that ginger supplementation significantly improved persistent hypothyroid symptoms and may aid in weight and lipid profile management in hypothyroid patients with normal TSH levels.

This study suggests that long working hours may contribute to the development of alopecia among Korean male workers.

This study found that patients with mycosis fungoides have higher levels of cardiovascular risk markers, suggesting an increased cardiovascular risk in this group compared to healthy controls.

This study analyzed gene expression data to identify key genes involved in severe forms of alopecia areata, discovering four immune monitoring genes (LGR5, SHISA2, HOXC13, S100A3) with potential for early diagnosis and better understanding of the disease's biological mechanisms.

This study found that oral probiotic supplementation over 12 weeks may improve hair growth, skin condition, metabolic health, and stress responses in Chinese adults with hair loss and a high risk of metabolic syndrome.

This study found that ethanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) leaves significantly improved lipid profiles and increased body weight in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia rats, suggesting potential anti-hyperlipidemic effects and modulation of body weight through metabolic activity.

In this study, among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, free testosterone was most frequently elevated, highlighting its importance in biochemical assessment and suggesting the need for age-related interpretation of DHEAS levels.

This study found that children with alopecia areata had higher levels of oxidative stress markers but showed no significant differences in depression and suicide tendencies compared to healthy peers.

In this randomized trial, lupus patients taking daily 200 μg selenium supplements for eight weeks showed significant improvements in metabolic markers like CRP, ESR, MDA, and GPX, as well as reduced clinical symptoms such as arthritis and alopecia, compared to those receiving a placebo.

This study suggests that potent topical corticosteroid occlusion may be a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata, although further research is needed on its long-term safety and recurrence.

This study found that adding Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract to a powder shampoo formulation significantly improved antioxidant activity without affecting its cleansing ability, although its clinical effectiveness remains to be tested.

This case report involved a premenopausal woman with rapidly progressing virilizing symptoms caused by a rare sertoliform endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary. Following surgical intervention, her symptoms improved, highlighting the importance of recognizing virilizing symptoms as potential indicators of low-grade ovarian malignancies in similar cases.

This case report describes a 23-year-old woman with an adult granulosa cell tumor of the ovary, whose symptoms and hormone levels improved significantly after surgical removal of the tumor.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing PCOS and its symptoms in transmen, suggesting hormonal fluctuations may lead to symptomatic relief with low dose estradiol.

This study found that steroid hormones influence the quality indicators of fresh and cryopreserved stallion sperm, with testosterone negatively correlated with motility and estradiol positively correlated with survival rate.
