In this study, researchers found that 24.7% of female medical students were diagnosed with PCOS, significantly affecting their academic success and social interactions due to symptoms like BMI abnormalities and acne, suggesting that educators should enhance support and awareness to address these challenges.

This study found that US adults with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia most preferred a hypothetical adjunctive therapy that prevents glucocorticoid-induced weight gain over other potential benefits.

This study found that ethnic Indian women with PCOS are dissatisfied with the medical support and information they receive at diagnosis, impacting their quality of life, especially concerning weight and mental health.

This study reported that a significant number of young women in Pakistan may unknowingly have PCOS, with many experiencing irregular periods, weight gain, and increased cravings potentially linked to dietary habits.

This study found that while Sudanese women had good awareness of hormonal contraceptives, they lacked knowledge about emergency contraceptives and non-family planning benefits, with side effects like hair loss influencing their attitudes.

This review concludes that polycystic ovary syndrome can significantly impact aspects of health-related quality of life in adolescent girls, especially body image and interpersonal functioning.

This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness and safety of various treatments for polycystic ovary syndrome including finasteride, flutamide, and metformin, but does not provide specific new results.

This study observed that lifestyle modifications resulting in weight loss improved menstrual irregularity and hormonal balance among infertile obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome, although changes in total testosterone and estrone were not significant.

This study found that cultural hair care practices, such as frequent head baths and the use of Hibiscus leaf powder, may help prevent hair loss in Malayalam girls compared to Andhra girls.

This study found that adults with type 2 diabetes or obesity using semaglutide and tirzepatide experienced higher odds of nonscarring alopecia, such as telogen effluvium, compared to those using other GLP-1 receptor agonists, with hair loss potentially linked to physiologic stress from weight loss.

This narrative review suggests that the association between weight-loss medications and telogen effluvium is primarily due to metabolic changes from rapid weight loss, rather than a direct pharmacological effect on hair follicles.

This study found that GLP-1 receptor agonists are linked to a 40% increased risk of non-scarring alopecia in adults, mainly due to weight loss-induced micronutrient deficiencies, with semaglutide and tirzepatide showing the highest hair loss signals.

In this commentary, the authors discuss emerging evidence primarily from pharmacovigilance data and retrospective studies indicating a potential association between GLP-1 receptor agonists, like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and hair loss, although causality remains unproven, prompting recommendations for patient monitoring and further research.

This study reported that among 95 women with polycystic ovarian syndrome at a tertiary care hospital in India, menstrual irregularities were the most common issue, affecting 86.3% of participants, with many also experiencing hyperandrogenic symptoms, obesity, and infertility.

This paper emphasizes the importance of holistic and compassionate management of obesity and PCOS in adolescent girls, advocating for improved healthcare prioritization and environmental reform to address complex challenges during adolescence.

This review explores the potential benefits of using medicinal plants as an alternative or supplementary therapy for improving reproductive and metabolic health in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but reports no new results.

This review reports that lifestyle modification, including diet and exercise, is essential for managing PCOS, while pharmacological and complementary treatments address specific symptoms like menstrual irregularities and insulin resistance.

In this study, researchers observed a high prevalence of ferritin and vitamin D deficiency in women with acute telogen effluvium, highlighting the importance of laboratory screening for these deficiencies, while also noting a correlation between ferritin levels and hair loss severity.

In this study, researchers found that the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib helped normalize tissue-specific autoimmunity in APECED patients by reducing inflammation and immune cell accumulation, but it was also linked to subclinical side effects like anemia and weight gain.

In this study, young female medical students at King Saud University reported a higher prevalence of physician-diagnosed PCOS compared to similar Western populations, and hirsutism was notably associated with the condition, highlighting the need for early screening and health education.

This review summarizes recent research into the effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists on skin processes, noting potential benefits for wound healing but also potential cosmetic concerns like facial fat loss and decreased collagen, highlighting the need for more clinical studies to clarify their dermatological impact.

This study found that among users of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, semaglutide and tirzepatide were associated with higher incidences of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium, with rapid weight loss identified as a potential contributor to telogen effluvium.

In this study, researchers conducted a large genome-wide association meta-analysis and found 30 significant genetic loci linked to the risk of dermatophytosis, shedding light on the roles of keratin biology, skin barrier defects, immune dysfunction, and obesity in the disease.

This review discusses the dermatologic manifestations and management of polycystic ovary syndrome, underscoring the need for mechanism-based, personalized treatments and integrated mental health support, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights the multiple physical and psychological impacts of polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive-aged women and underscores the importance of early medical evaluation and lifestyle changes for effective treatment.

This study found that hair shedding occurs in seven out of ten users of GLP-1 receptor agonists in real-world settings, a much higher prevalence than in clinical trials, which affects treatment adherence, especially among women experiencing significant weight loss.

This study found that tofacitinib and baricitinib, when administered with unorthodox weight-stratified dosing in pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AA, showed comparable efficacy and tolerability, though baricitinib's efficacy decreased with non-standard dosing.

This study investigates the complex impact of bariatric surgery on skin disorders, reporting improvements in conditions like acanthosis nigricans and psoriasis, while new issues such as xeroderma and alopecia may also emerge postoperatively.

This study found that serum amino acid profiles changed significantly following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in patients with obesity, and identified serum leucine levels as an independent risk factor for postoperative alopecia.

This study surveyed individuals and found that awareness and understanding of thyroid disorders, particularly symptom recognition and the importance of early detection, are low, highlighting the need for targeted public health initiatives to improve knowledge and management.
