    TLDR Maintaining anticoagulation is crucial for patients with antiphospholipid syndrome.
    The document reviewed various books and included letters to the editor, with notable medical case studies. One case involved a 34-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who developed skin necrosis after stopping warfarin, emphasizing the importance of maintaining anticoagulation in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Another case described a lupus erythematosus patient experiencing non-scarring alopecia, treated successfully with hydroxychloroquine. Additionally, a Finnish study found 3.1% of 360 patients allergic to phenol-formaldehyde resins, and an animal trial showed core peptide (CP) reduced type IV hypersensitivity. The book "Physical Signs in Dermatology" was highlighted for its clinical utility, though noted as expensive and best suited for early dermatology trainees. Upcoming dermatology events were also mentioned.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
