This case report describes a non-mosaic Turner-Syndrome individual with global cerebral atrophy, significant cognitive impairment, and severe treatment-resistant schizophrenia.

This review found that lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, are beneficial for managing metabolic and endocrine abnormalities in obese patients with PCOS and suggests combining these with anti-obesity agents for enhanced effects.

The study found that while a clinical protocol showed high specificity in detecting scrapie in goats, its low sensitivity suggests many cases might be missed if diagnosis is only based on clinical signs.

This study observed that a CARASIL mouse model demonstrated abnormal behavior, vascular and cellular changes, and upregulation of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, indicating its potential involvement in CARASIL pathogenesis.

In this study, a deficiency in the zinc finger protein Zfp462 in mice led to anxiety-like behaviors and excessive self-grooming, providing a new model for studying anxiety disorders.

This study demonstrated that a ligand-independent action of the vitamin D receptor significantly affects keratinocyte behavior in hair follicles and skin, pointing to its crucial role in maintaining normal hair and skin structures in rats.

This review discusses trichotillomania, its diagnosis, prevalence, potential brain abnormalities, and current treatment options, and offers no new clinical findings.

In this animal study, finasteride significantly improved autism-like symptoms in rats by reversing biochemical markers and enhancing behaviors, potentially due to its antioxidant and anti-androgen effects.

This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This study found that in men with androgenic alopecia, moderate to severe cases were associated with the AA genotype of rs1160312, blood vanadium concentrations, and regular consumption of soy bean drinks.

This study found that VEGF-deficient keratinocytes can form tumors using different aneuploidy and signaling patterns, highlighting VEGF's role beyond angiogenesis in tumor cell growth and survival.

In this animal study, researchers found that the simultaneous deletion of ERBB2 and ERBB3 in mice results in impaired skin differentiation, inflammation, and sebaceous gland alteration, leading to skin lesions, while highlighting potential side effects in cancer therapies targeting these receptors.

In this case study, a 74-year-old woman improved her scalp hair condition by reducing chronic rubbing, leading to hair regrowth without ongoing abnormalities after behavior modification.

This study observed that Ptprq mutant mice exhibit significant abnormalities in hair bundle structure and vestibular dysfunction, suggesting similar issues may contribute to hearing loss and vestibular problems in humans with PTPRQ mutations.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania as a presenting sign in a patient with neurological Wilson's disease, confirmed by genetic testing and copper abnormalities.

This case report describes a patient's psychiatric and medical journey after a cardiac arrest, focusing on managing agitated behavior without medication, leading to significant improvement in cognitive function over a 5-week hospital stay.

In this study, no signs of toxicity were observed in mice and rats given 100 mg/kg of Dunaliella salina daily for three months, while hemoglobin levels increased, suggesting its potential as a safe supplement.

This case report describes two instances of habit tic nail deformities associated with alopecia areata.

In this study, three closely related Siamese cats were diagnosed with feline psychogenic alopecia, indicating the disorder may have a hereditary component.

This review discusses the effects of protein-based cosmetics on hair properties and reports no new research findings, suggesting potential benefits for developing advanced, sustainable hair products.

This case study suggests that early or significant alopecia in young adults may warrant investigation for underlying congenital conditions like trichorhinophalangeal syndrome.

This case report describes the first confirmed instances of X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy/adrenoleukodystrophy in two brothers from Bangladesh, noting their progressive neurological symptoms, MRI findings, and differing disease outcomes over several years of observation.

This paper discusses X-linked ichthyosis and its genetic causes, focusing on biochemical pathways and their role in epidermal differentiation and barrier function, but it presents no new clinical findings.

This study observed that among patients with Myhre syndrome, those with the SMAD4 gene variant p.Arg496Cys experienced fewer symptoms like hearing loss, while those with the p.Ile500Thr variant often had severe aortic hypoplasia, highlighting the diverse symptom progression and genetic factors of this rare condition.

This study identified the transcription factor Elf5 as a novel regulator of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation in skin, with expression elevated in stem/progenitor cell populations, suggesting its potential role in determining cell fate during skin and hair development.

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

In this study, behavioral disturbances were commonly observed with levetiracetam, while somnolence was frequently reported with oxcarbazepine among patients with refractory epilepsy.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing human keratin K8 in the epidermis showed increased progression of skin lesions toward malignancy, suggesting a role for K8 in the development of invasive skin cancer.

This study found that a novel rare variant in ITGB6 may cause intellectual disability, alopecia, and dentogingival anomalies in a specific Pakistani family, highlighting a potential role for ITGB6 beyond enamel formation.

This study characterized hair from a patient with a ribosomopathy and identified distinct differences, including reduced hair thickness and lipid content, compared to family members.
