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 reports for the first time on the expression patterns of Id2 and Id3 proteins in developing hair follicles, suggesting a significant role for these proteins in hair follicle development and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions.

In this follow-up study, participants with severe androgenic/estrogenic alopecia showed increased hair growth 10 months after ending vacuum therapy and cosmetic emulsion treatment, highlighting the therapies' potential effectiveness.

This study introduces a new device for measuring changes in hair stiffness and lubricity, which can help predict the effects of various hair treatments.

In this study, anal beta-papillomavirus infection was found to be highly prevalent among Slovenian MSM, with higher rates observed in HIV-1 positive individuals and those using alkyl nitrates.

This study identified that androgens increase calcium sensitization in mouse colonic smooth muscle by activating the Rho/Rho kinase pathway, highlighting its role in modulating muscle contractility.

This study found that Anovlar effectively reduced pain in severe dysmenorrhea cases and regulated cycles in oligomenorrhea patients, but some side effects and occasional treatment failures were reported.

This literature review reports prevalent sexual dysfunctions, notably vaginal dryness, in women undergoing endocrine therapy for hormone-dependent breast cancer, highlighting the need for more multidisciplinary research and care to improve patient well-being.

This article reviews Miriam Arbeit's skill-based model for promoting adolescent sexual development, highlighting its focus on adolescents as active participants in their own sexual growth but noting areas for further expansion.

In this study, researchers used a rodent model to uncover key changes in how hair fibers detach, suggesting that the exogen phase should be subdivided based on club fiber status.

This study reports that simultaneous cystoscopy, electroejaculation, transurethral resection of ejaculatory ducts, and seminal vesiculography were safe and effective in diagnosing and treating concurrent hematospermia and anorgasmia.

This case report highlights that a postmenopausal woman experienced virilization due to unintentional transdermal absorption of testosterone from her spouse's topical androgen via shared washcloths, underscoring the importance of considering exogenous androgen exposure in similar diagnoses.

This study found that water-soluble extracts of Illicium anisatum promoted hair follicle elongation in cultured mouse vibrissae, suggesting potential use in hair growth products.

This review discusses the Strīvilāsa, an Ayurvedic manuscript on female health and cosmetic procedures, but reports no clinical results; the authors emphasize its potential significance for Ayurvedic obstetrics and gynecology research.

This study found that testosterone increased the expression of AQP-1, 5, and 7 in the uterus of rats, which may help explain the reduction in uterine fluid volume.

This study found that massaging the skin significantly increases follicular penetration of liposomes in an ex vivo setting, while occlusion only enhanced penetration for rigid liposomes.

Low-dose pulsed electric fields in a rat model shifted hair follicles from resting to active growth, with voltage as the most influential factor.

This study found that VR1 activation in human hair follicles inhibited hair growth by suppressing proliferation and promoting apoptosis, suggesting VR1 plays an important role in hair growth regulation.

Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.

This study developed an efficient method for isolating and enriching multipotent ovine hair follicle stem cells, which may aid in research on the ovine hair cycle and future wool production.

This study found that low androgen levels in rat penile endothelial cells were associated with a decrease in eNOS-expressing extracellular vesicles and reduced nitric oxide production.

Hair feels different when touched and rubs together in various ways.

In this study, VVF was found to be a highly variable and unreliable measure of void space in granular scaffolds, sensitive to various input parameters and less predictive than particle count.

This study found that variations in Kv1 channel gene expression in the electric organ of Sternopygus correlate with sex differences and individual variations in their electric communication signals.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with virilization and an ovarian steroid cell tumor, highlighting the rarity and diagnostic importance of such tumors in this demographic.

A postmenopausal woman's virilization was caused by a rare ovarian tumor that was hard to detect but was successfully treated with surgery.
