This editorial comment reports no new clinical findings, instead discussing a study on the effectiveness of combination therapy with doxazosin and finasteride in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that women with PCOS have significantly higher prevalence and levels of thyroid autoantibodies, with these elevated levels suggesting a potential independent autoimmune activation associated with PCOS.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

This study reported that platelet-rich plasma injections led to only temporary improvement in vellus hair characteristics in temporal triangular alopecia, suggesting it may not be an effective long-term treatment.

Patients follow treatment well, but many change medicines; good information helps compliance.

In this study, patients with testicular feminization syndrome showed limited anabolic responsiveness to dihydrotestosterone, potentially due to reduced affinity of nuclear receptor sites for androgenic steroids rather than defective testosterone conversion.

This case report highlights that macro-TSH, a rare condition causing falsely elevated TSH despite normal thyroid hormone levels, can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment; identifying TSH antibodies and fractionation chromatography can prevent incorrect management, as demonstrated in a 19-year-old patient.

This review discusses the free hormone hypothesis for measuring "free" testosterone and critiques its theoretical basis and clinical application, noting it lacks critical empirical testing and has inconsistent utility in assessing androgen status.

This study found that decreased TRPS1 expression in balding dermal papilla cells may impair their signaling ability, contributing to hair follicle miniaturization in androgenic alopecia.

This study found that a 5-mg daily dose of transdermal testosterone cream in postmenopausal women restored testosterone levels to those typical of premenopausal women.

In this study, researchers found that both the EU-TIRADS and Bethesda systems exhibited high specificity but suboptimal sensitivity for predicting thyroid nodule malignancy in patients who underwent surgery, with Bethesda system showing particularly high specificity in this postoperative population.

In this study, researchers developed a chemiluminescence assay kit for detecting free testosterone, showing it performed well and met clinical demands with low cost and automation; free testosterone levels differed in patients with various diagnoses, suggesting its diagnostic relevance for diseases such as prostate malignancy.

This study suggests that stress may worsen Tourette syndrome symptoms in mice by increasing allopregnanolone synthesis, with findings supporting finasteride as a potential treatment to manage symptom fluctuations.

This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of temporal triangular alopecia in a pediatric patient experiencing asymptomatic hair loss, emphasizing its nonprogressive nature and poor prognosis for regrowth.

In this study, researchers found that shorter CA repeats in the ERbeta gene are correlated with PSA expression, and PSA immunoexpression is associated with increased disease-free survival in breast cancer.

This case report documents successful virilization, including penile length increase, in a boy with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome using high-dose testosterone combined with anastrozole.

This study suggests that in an ex vivo rat glaucoma model, TSPO activation is involved in Allopregnanolone synthesis and may help prevent retinal damage, with TSPO agonists as potential therapeutic agents.

This study developed a high-throughput method that identifies bioactive chemicals influencing DHT production in prostate cancer cells, with potential nutraceutical candidates including fucoxanthin, phenethyl caffeate, and Curcuma longa L. extract.

This study suggests that the negative impact of high-dose Finasteride on male reproductive function may be mitigated by concurrent administration with TU.

This study reports on biofeedback treatment for dysfunctional voiding in three adult cases, providing insights into this condition when diagnosed beyond childhood.

This study found that lower testosterone levels in male COVID-19 patients were associated with greater disease severity and longer hospital stays.

In this study, stress experienced by transmen during early stages of gender transition was associated with reduced nocturnal blood pressure decline and increased C-reactive protein levels.

This study showed that men with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum levels of testosterone and DHT compared to controls, but no difference in PSA levels.

A new mutation in the TRPS1 gene caused Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome in a 17-year-old, highlighting the need for genetic testing.

This study highlights that variations in clinical outcome reporting can undermine the validation of NTCP models for RIA, stressing the need for a standardized and objective scoring system.

This study found that screening for prostate cancer did not significantly reduce prostate cancer-specific mortality in a meta-analysis of five randomized controlled trials, although one trial reported a benefit in a specific age subgroup.

This study highlights that traumatic anserine folliculosis is a benign condition often seen in young males, which can be diagnosed without invasive biopsies using clinical examination and dermoscopy.

The study found that Temporal Triangular Alopecia often starts in early childhood, mainly affects the left side of the scalp, and has no effective treatment except surgery.

This study provides a guideline for the safe and effective use of testosterone in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, recommending systemic transdermal testosterone for appropriate candidates while highlighting the importance of informed consent and monitoring due to unestablished long-term safety.
