This study suggests that leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin membranes may aid postoperative healing in endoscopic skull base surgery, with some patients showing reduced crusting and low rates of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

This study observed no teratogenic effects of oral decongestants and surprisingly favorable neonatal outcomes in Swedish women who used them during pregnancy.

This study found that IGF-1 likely plays a crucial role in regulating hair growth and alopecia, with balding scalp follicles secreting less IGF-1 than nonbalding counterparts.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy may have benefits and is generally safe, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.

This case report highlights that hair loss, though common in the general population, may be a rare presenting symptom of Cushing's disease, as observed in a woman with multiple dermatological signs of the condition.

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 case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

In this study, the ChatGPT-5 model accurately answered 76.47% of questions on the Polish endocrinology specialty exam, surpassing the 60% passing threshold, yet its role in clinical decision-making remains uncertain, highlighting the need for further research.
