This review outlines the diverse clinical presentations of cutaneous metastases in breast cancer patients and emphasizes the importance of biopsy for accurate diagnosis, but reports no new results.

This study found that using trait prevalence-informed priors may improve the prediction accuracy of appearance traits in Bayesian models, but their application is limited by sparse knowledge on trait prevalence.

In this study, researchers found that differences between self-ratings and assessor ratings of facial appearance vary by age and ethnicity, and these discrepancies, along with assessor ratings of skin features, are predictive of menopausal status across ethnic groups.

This study found that individuals with Alopecia Areata experience significantly higher social appearance anxiety compared to healthy controls, driven more by appearance-related concerns than by general anxiety or depression, highlighting the importance of targeted psychosocial assessments in their routine care.
