research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Patterns of ovarian morphology in polycystic ovary syndrome: a study utilising magnetic resonance imaging
The study found that women with PCOS have more and larger ovarian follicles and differences in ovarian structure, but these features alone can't always diagnose PCOS.
research Untargeted metabolomic approach to study the serum metabolites in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Certain metabolites may help diagnose and predict polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Full investigation of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) presenting to four different clinical specialties reveals significant differences and undiagnosed morbidity
Many women with PCOS have undiagnosed health issues and show different symptoms based on the clinic they visit.
research Does a male polycystic ovarian syndrome equivalent exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Serum vitamin D level is related to disease severity in pediatric alopecia areata
Low vitamin D can worsen pediatric alopecia areata.
research Lack of effect of spironolactone on hair shaft diameter in hirsute females
Spironolactone did not make hair thinner in women with excess hair growth.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Skin and Hair Disease
Antiandrogen therapies are beneficial for treating skin and hair conditions related to androgen levels.
research Investigation of the relationship between serum hormones and pilonidal sinus disease: a cross‐sectional study
Higher prolactin levels in women may be linked to pilonidal sinus disease.
research Presence of a Deletion Mutation (c.716delA) in the Ligand Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor in an Indian Patient with Vitamin D-Dependent Rickets Type II
A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.
research The Optimal Indication for Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Late Onset Hypogonadism
Testosterone replacement therapy should be used for men with low testosterone levels and symptoms of hypogonadism, after careful diagnosis and considering individual needs.
research Lipid Profile and Metabolic Syndrome Status in Patients with Oral Lichen Planus, Oral Lichenoid Reaction and Healthy Individuals Attending a Dental College in Northern India - A Descriptive Study
Patients with oral lichen planus or oral lichenoid reactions had worse cholesterol levels and a higher risk of obesity compared to healthy individuals.
research Prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Slovak women with polycystic ovary syndrome and its relation to metabolic and reproductive abnormalities
Vitamin D deficiency is common in women with PCOS and linked to some metabolic problems, but not the main cause of their metabolic issues.
research The influence of obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
research Effect of a low-starch/low-dairy diet on fat oxidation in overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
A low-starch/low-dairy diet may help overweight women with PCOS lose weight and improve metabolism, but more research is needed.
research The investigation and management of severe hyperandrogenism pre- and postmenopause: Non-tumor disease is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome and typically responds to insulin-sensitization with metformin
High levels of male hormones in women without tumors are linked to metabolic problems and can be treated with metformin.
research Prevalence of hyperprolactinaemia in female premenopausal blood donors
A small number of premenopausal female blood donors had high prolactin levels, often due to stress, and retesting is recommended to prevent misdiagnosis.
research A pure, monolayer culture of Merkel cells from sinus hair follicles of the rat
Adding fetal calf serum helps Merkel cells survive and change shape.
research The effect of alfacalcidiol and metformin on metabolic disturbances in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Metformin effectively improves metabolic symptoms in women with PCOS, while alfacalcidiol does not have a significant impact.
research Three cases of androgen‐dependent disease associated with myotonic dystrophy
Women with myotonic dystrophy might get diseases related to male hormones because their body tissues are extra sensitive to these hormones.
research Evaluation of insulin resistance in idiopathic hirsutism compared with polycystic ovary syndrome patients and healthy individuals
Insulin resistance is not more common in idiopathic hirsutism patients than in healthy individuals.
research Ratio of ovarian stroma and total ovarian area by ultrasound in prediction of hyperandrogenemia in reproductive-aged Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome: A diagnostic test
Ultrasound measurement of the ovarian stroma to total area ratio is not a reliable single predictor of high male hormone levels in Thai women with PCOS, but works better when combined with clinical signs.
research Ozenoxacin suppresses sebum production by inhibiting mTORC1 activation in differentiated hamster sebocytes
Ozenoxacin reduces sebum production, helping manage acne.
research Serum brain‐derived neurotrophic factor and vitamin D: Two concordant players controlling depression among alopecia areata and vitiligo patients: A case–control study
Low levels of BDNF and vitamin D are linked to higher depression in alopecia areata and vitiligo patients.
research Prenatal Androgenization of Ewes as a Model of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Prenatally androgenized ewes can model increased hair diameter in women with PCOS.
research A Model for Predicting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using Serum AMH, Menstrual Cycle Length, Body Mass Index and Serum Androstenedione in Chinese Reproductive Aged Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study
A model using hormone levels, cycle length, and BMI can help identify PCOS in Chinese women but isn't for screening teens.
