Human prostate cells produce more WISP1/CCN4 when there's not enough oxygen.

In this study, researchers identified two potential urinary biomarkers, testosterone–glucuronide and 11α-hydroxyprogesterone, along with four candidate biomarkers, to help understand and diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study found that the CTLA-4 gene polymorphism (rs733618) has no association with polycystic ovarian syndrome in the studied population.

The authors propose that higher testosterone levels in hospitalized COVID-19 patients might be associated with worse outcomes.

Finasteride lowers PSA levels in men, certain factors increase testicular cancer risk, and current guidelines for penile cancer may lead to unnecessary surgeries.

This case study suggests that early or significant alopecia in young adults may warrant investigation for underlying congenital conditions like trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.

This study suggests that decreased SHBG levels and increased FAI, free testosterone, and DHEAS concentrations are effective in diagnosing PCOS in epidemiological studies of women of reproductive age.

Toxic Shock Syndrome progresses quickly, often involves multiple organs, and is linked to Staphylococcus aureus toxins, with treatment options available but diagnostic challenges remaining.

This study found that gender-affirming hormone therapy in transgender men increased acne and male pattern hair loss, while in transgender women, it led to melasma and female pattern hair loss.

This case report identifies a 23-year-old man with congenital triangular alopecia, a non-scarring alopecia characterized by preserved follicles and vellus hair, for which unnecessary interventions should be avoided.

This study found that hypogonadism in men can be a reversible risk factor for torsades de pointes (TdP), with testosterone replacement potentially preventing TdP recurrence.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone treatment in female rats altered anterior pituitary gland gene expression, with significant repression of prolactin and inhibition of GnRH receptor gene expression, suggesting specific hormone production changes.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher concentrations of oxytocin, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, and follicle-stimulating hormone compared to healthy controls.

This review covers recent advances in prostate cancer risk assessment, diagnosis, and treatment but does not report new clinical results; further studies on androgen deprivation therapy's cardiovascular risks are particularly noted.

This study reports that prostate volume, operation time, resected tissue weight, and smoking increase risks of blood loss and fluid absorption during PK-TURP, while finasteride treatment and surgeon experience may reduce these risks.

This study identified TGFβ-2 as a potential driver of progenitor cell loss in hair follicles from early androgenetic alopecia scalps, suggesting its role in the condition's molecular disturbances.

The researchers reported a case of falsely elevated testosterone in a teen, due to immunoassay interference, demonstrating that liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry provides more accurate testosterone measurement, emphasizing the need for thorough analysis when clinical results are inconsistent.

This study found that long-term finasteride therapy in men with BPH worsened erectile dysfunction and reduced testosterone levels, while these effects were not observed with tamsulosin.

This study found that hair steroid analysis effectively detected increased hormone levels from both a single testosterone dose and laboratory-induced stress, revealing individual context factors like relationship status also impact hair hormone concentrations.

This pilot study found that Optical Coherence Tomography can non-invasively resolve hair follicle density and hair shaft and follicle diameters in patients at varying stages of hair loss.

This case report describes a 42-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who developed extensive impetiginized pityriasis amiantacea potentially linked to her anti-TNF-α therapy with golimumab. Discontinuing the drug and other treatments led to significant clinical improvement within a month.

This article lists the clinically important interactions and skin reactions of several drugs and substances, including THA, FK506, tamoxifen, tamsulosin, tartrazine, tea tree oil, temazepam, and temozolomide, but provides no new clinical results.

This letter to the editor on postpartum telogen effluvium does not include new research findings or data.

This study found that combining cyproterone acetate with testosterone enanthate was highly effective in suppressing spermatogenesis, suggesting potential as a reversible male contraceptive method.

This study found that early treatment with estradiol or dihydrotestosterone significantly reduced prostate adenocarcinoma development in Lobund-Wistar rats, while later treatments were ineffective.

This article lists online educational resources from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons but reports no new research findings.

This study found that acupressure on specific points improved health-related quality of life and reduced total testosterone levels and clinical symptoms in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome compared to controls.

Trichoscopy helps tell different hair loss types apart using specific scalp and hair patterns.
