Children with alopecia areata should only get thyroid screening if they have Down syndrome, a family history of thyroid disease, atopy, or signs of thyroid problems.

This study examined the relationship between sympathetic nerve endings and alopecia using direct and indirect immunofluorescence on human tissue samples, reporting no new clinical results.

In this study, Pomeranians with non-illness, generalized alopecia did not exhibit adrenal or pituitary abnormalities, suggesting a breed-specific hormonal pattern as a potential cause rather than a functional adrenal anomaly.

This population-based study found a significant association between alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid diseases, including Hashimoto's and Graves' disease, confirming a higher prevalence of these conditions in individuals with alopecia areata.

In this case report, a pancreatic adenocarcinoma with liver and omentum metastases was found in a cat, whose clinical signs included anorexia, diarrhea, lethargy, and non-pruritic glistening alopecia.

This study identified a new S100 fused-type protein, scaffoldin, in reptiles and birds and suggests that SFTP-positive epithelia serve as scaffolds for the growth of various skin appendages, indicating a common evolutionary origin.

This paper reviews the evolution of skin appendages and keratin-associated proteins among amniotes, proposing a model for their genetic divergence without new experimental results.

In this study, forced expression of the transcription factor cDermo-1 in chicken dermis led to the formation of ectopic feather buds and enhanced feather growth, demonstrating its role in initiating skin appendage development.

In this study, young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata were found to generally have higher body circumference measurements, particularly in the upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk, compared to healthy controls, suggesting potential markers for the disease and aiding personalized diagnosis and treatment approaches.

This study confirms previous observations that benign lipogenic lesions may contain eccrine/apocrine glandular components, potentially due to adipocytic proliferation entrapping glandular structures.

This study found that individuals who had undergone an appendectomy showed a higher incidence of alopecia areata, with a hazard ratio of 2.27, suggesting that appendectomy may impact gut microbiome and immune regulation related to hair health.

This study found that ossification in trichilemmal cysts may be more common than previously thought, often associated with cyst wall rupture, and reports a novel case of ossifying TC with extramedullary hematopoiesis.

This case report discusses a young woman who developed bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head after corticosteroid treatment for alopecia areata, underscoring the risk of this complication in patients undergoing such therapy.

This retrospective cohort study found that individuals with alopecia totalis or universalis have a higher prevalence of systemic autoimmune diseases, particularly endocrine diseases and inflammatory bowel disease, compared to those with patchy alopecia areata.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata have a significantly higher prevalence of thyroid disorders and elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid auto-antibodies compared to healthy individuals, with a 4.7 times greater risk of thyroid dysfunction among alopecia areata patients.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical history, high suspicion for early diagnosis, and continuous long-term follow-up.

This study found that alopecia areata is significantly associated with thyroid autoimmunity, but not with clinical or subclinical thyroid disease, in the Pakistani population.

In this study, overexpression of YAP1 was found to promote adipogenic differentiation of goat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by up-regulating LATS2 expression and activating the Hippo pathway's negative feedback loop.

In this study, alopecia areata was associated with thyroid autoimmunity but not islet autoimmunity, correlating with specific class II HLA haplotypes linked to various autoimmune diseases.

This study found that 76.19% of patients with acquired hypoparathyroidism had mucocutaneous manifestations, with common features including loss of hair and xerotic skin.

This review discusses the hypothesis of supranormal adaptation related to the evolution of the distal radius and wrist anatomy, reporting no new experimental findings.

This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old male with GAPO syndrome, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy, who sought dental treatment for missing teeth.

This case report describes a 9-year-old Thai girl with Satoyoshi syndrome, where oral corticosteroid therapy significantly improved her painful muscle spasms and alopecia.

This article emphasizes the importance of using professional judgment when applying educational content to patient care and reports no new research findings.

In this observational study, researchers found a significant association between alopecia areata and thyroid abnormalities, though not with diabetes mellitus, highlighting the importance of evaluating and managing these conditions holistically in affected patients.

This chapter discusses atypical endocrinopathies affecting the hair and skin in small animals and provides treatments but does not present new research results.

This report presents personal observations of alopecia areata in twins with autoimmune thyroiditis and suggests a possible link, though it does not provide new clinical results.
