This journal exclusively publishes detailed, peer-reviewed content on dermatologic surgery but reports no new clinical results itself.

This review explores the association between alopecia and thyroid autoimmune disease, also highlighting a linked increased risk of thyroid cancer, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that the anchorage of the arrector pili muscle to the extracellular matrix is likely mediated by α5β1 integrin, with α1β1 integrin involved in muscle cell-cell adhesion.

This case report presents a patient with idiopathic isolated ACTH deficiency and testicular germ cell tumor, with alopecia areata as an initial symptom, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

This case report describes a 46-year-old male whose alopecia areata preceded and resolved with treatment for stage IVB classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, highlighting AA as a potential indicator of underlying malignancy, although such cases are rare and not well-characterized.

This study suggests that reptilian claws grow differently from mammalian claws, with continuous epidermal growth rather than a proximal matrix zone for cell proliferation.

This study reviewed pathology reports of patients with multiple myeloma and found that skin biopsies commonly show graft-versus-host disease, drug-related lesions, and Sweet's syndrome, especially related to transplantation timing.

In this study, 1.9% of patients at a dermatology outpatient department were diagnosed with alopecia areata, with the most common affected age group being 20-40 years.

This study found that dutasteride affected spinal bone formation in curdlan-treated SKG mice, while DHT treatment reduced osteoblast differentiation in vitro, suggesting that DHT inhibition might unexpectedly increase spinal ankylosis progression in ankylosing spondylitis patients.

This study reported that patients with alopecia areata or alopecia totalis/universalis have a slightly increased overall cancer risk compared to controls, with specific increases in thyroid, bladder, and prostate cancers depending on the alopecia type.

This case report highlights the importance of suspecting underlying malignancy, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, in patients with diffuse hair loss and other cutaneous symptoms.

This review discusses surgical approaches and new advancements in sternum reconstruction, emphasizing innovative techniques and materials, but reports no new clinical results.

The book is a detailed guide on hair and scalp diseases, useful for dermatopathologists.

This study suggests that the absence of alpha5(IV)/alpha6(IV) chains in certain subepidermal basement membrane spots may relate to interactions with melanocytes in human skin.

This review discusses the role of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ affecting skin physiology and suggests a complex interaction between adipocytes and the skin as part of the broader endocrine system, but provides no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers investigated GAGs from the marine invertebrate Microcosmus exasperatus, finding that its polysaccharides possess antitumoral properties without affecting anticoagulant activity. The unique composition shows potential for cancer treatment when combined with existing therapies in future studies.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had a slightly decreased overall cancer risk, with significantly lower risks for some cancers but higher risks for lymphoma, breast, kidney, and urinary bladder cancers.

This study found that thyroid-stimulating hormone receptors are functionally expressed in various skin cells, implying potential physiological and pathological roles in skin, especially in conditions like autoimmune diseases.

This study found that acne and androgenic alopecia were prevalent in women with "true" keloids, suggesting hormonal imbalances may contribute to keloid formation.

This review details common symptoms of rheumatic diseases and how to differentiate them from other conditions based on patient history and physical examination.

This case report describes an 87-year-old woman diagnosed with type 3 autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome, highlighting the importance of recognizing and managing coexisting autoimmune conditions.

This article reviews dermatological manifestations of endocrine diseases in dogs, such as hypothyroidism and hyperadrenocorticism, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case study reports a peculiar variant of an epidermal cyst in a patient, featuring unique characteristics like brownish, lumpy contents resembling bone marrow.

This study identified a genetic locus associated with idiopathic scoliosis in females, which might influence spinal gene expression and was previously linked to protection from early-onset alopecia.

This article is a self-assessment by Rosa Angela Ragni and Kenneth Smith, reporting no new results.

This study found that nuclear androgen receptor expression was enhanced by dihydrotestosterone in rat gubernacular mesenchyme, but this did not affect muscle morphology or matrix composition during fetal development.

This narrative review found a strong association between alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid diseases, suggesting routine thyroid function and autoantibody screening could be beneficial for certain patients with extensive, recurrent, or early-onset alopecia areata.
