In this case report, a 4-year-old with neurofibromatosis type 1 experienced significant reduction in an inoperable periorbital plexiform neurofibroma and visual improvement following treatment with selumetinib.

This study found that a hair tonic made from sweet potato leaf extract demonstrated strong antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur in vitro, comparable to 2% ketoconazole, suggesting its potential as an antidandruff treatment.

This study found that one year of finasteride treatment significantly reduced PSA levels and prostate volume in men with elevated PSA and negative prior biopsy, potentially aiding prostate cancer diagnosis.

This study found that monoclonal antibodies can identify specific immunological characteristics of hair fibrous proteins, with some antibodies reacting only with hair proteins and others showing broader activity with skin and epithelial cells.

This study found that orally administering the CCR5 inhibitor Maraviroc improved hair loss in 4 out of 5 mice with alopecia areata and also reduced the development of the condition, evidenced by decreased CCR5+ T-cell infiltration in treated mice.

This study found that fetal canine hair follicle-derived stem cells exhibited pluripotency markers, suggesting potential for therapeutic applications in hair and skin repair.

This case study describes a pregnant woman who developed a pruritic rash with follicular lesions containing yeast-like organisms, resistant to conventional acne treatments.

This study found that the androgen precursors DHEA and androstenedione stimulated androgen-sensitive parameters in the sebaceous glands of the skin in castrated male hamsters.

This study found that freezing PRP at -80 °C for up to a year maintains most growth factor levels, with EGF and IGF even higher than in fresh samples.

This case report suggests that topical minoxidil 5% may cause erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, as observed in a patient whose symptoms improved after discontinuing the medication and recurred upon re-administration.

This study found that HIF-P4H-2 function in FoxD1-lineage cells is crucial for normal hair follicle development and homeostasis in mice, implicating disrupted HIF, TGF-β, and Notch signaling pathways in associated defects.

In this study, physiological skin changes like linea nigra (84.4%) and striae distensae (78.4%) were most common in pregnant women, while pathological changes were shown to be significantly associated with gravida and gestational age.

In this case study, a 36-year-old male with symptoms of keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei and frontal fibrosing alopecia tested negative for a specific mutation, highlighting genetic testing's potential to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes in these similar conditions.

This study found that the prevalence of dermatological manifestations in COVID-19 patients was 1.7% in Sri Lanka, with various types of skin lesions reported.

This study found that the absence of Hif-p4h-2 in specific mouse skin cells disrupted hair follicle development, leading to hair loss due to irregular keratin formation and pathway signaling.

This case report highlights the importance of considering frontal fibrosing alopecia in young women, emphasizing early diagnosis to preserve hair and limit inflammation.

The researchers reported that using Natesto® testosterone gel improved erectile function and mood in hypogonadal men over a 90-day period.

This study found that dutasteride treatment in pregnant mares significantly increased progesterone concentrations but did not alter gestational length or neonatal outcomes.

This study reports the first case of mandibuloacral dysplasia syndrome associated with MTX2 gene mutation in the Chinese population, expanding the known spectrum of MTX2 mutations.

In this study, researchers analyzed English primary care data and found that long-COVID symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive, and mobility impairments persisted at 6–12 months after infection, though these effects were generally less pronounced following the later pandemic wave.

In this study, cutaneous features like hair loss, malar rash, and photosensitivity were identified as key indicators of disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus.

In this study, researchers used advanced RNA sequencing techniques to discover that communication between specific fibroblast and myeloid cell populations may play a role in acne keloidalis, and found that corticosteroid injections could significantly reduce disease activity and gene expression related to these cells.

This meta-analysis found that treating male androgenetic alopecia with 5α-reductase inhibitors increases the risk of sexual dysfunction, with a statistically significant risk for finasteride but not for dutasteride.

This study found that patients with hypothyroidism at a tertiary hospital in South India most commonly exhibited skin dryness (xerosis/ichthyosis) and swelling of the feet (pedal oedema).

This study observed that dermatological disorders such as diffuse alopecia and pruritus were common among hematology patients, indicating the importance of dermatology consultations in their management.

In this study conducted at the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Ward, 65% of hospitalized pediatric cancer patients developed dermatological lesions, predominantly alopecia and mucositis, possibly due to the administration of plant alkaloid chemotherapy, consistent with existing literature.

In this pilot study, a 12-week topical treatment with a lotion containing magnetized saline water significantly increased hair count and hair mass index while activating autophagy in the scalp of 20 Caucasian men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia.

This review discusses the complex pathophysiological and clinical aspects of COVID-19, including dermatological findings and their association with SARS-CoV-2 infection but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that in hidradenitis suppurativa, MMP-induced matrix alterations may contribute to inflammation by releasing active peptides and inflammatory factors in the extracellular matrix.

This review summarizes hair growth aspects, treatment options, and management strategies for hirsutism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, without presenting new clinical findings.
