This case report highlights a rare instance of gastric trichobezoar, or "Rapunzel syndrome," associated with trichotillomania, characterized by hair accumulation in the stomach of a patient.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome often experience isolation, helplessness, resilience, and grief, suggesting a need for better support during diagnosis and treatment to improve wellbeing.

This review discusses trichotillomania, including its diagnosis and management, and emphasizes the importance of a psychiatry-dermatology liaison alongside behavioral therapy and pharmacological options.

In this study, inducible whole-body Acly-knockout mice revealed that ACLY is essential for skin homeostasis, as its deficiency led to increased sebum production and skin abnormalities, indicating a vital role for cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis in preserving skin barrier integrity and systemic lipid regulation.

This paper explores the mechanisms causing depression in women with PCOS and suggests that lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and weight loss, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants, can help manage PCOS-induced depression.

This protocol outlines a nationwide study to investigate the prevalence of metabolic and reproductive abnormalities, anxiety, and depression in Brazilian women with polycystic ovary syndrome, aiming to inform public health strategies.

This case report describes a 6-year-old boy with Bloom syndrome characterized by distinct facial skin changes, delayed development, and a high frequency of sister chromatid exchanges.

This article reviews the psychiatric conditions associated with HIV, highlighting the bidirectional relationship and management challenges but presents no new research findings.

In this literature review, it was reported that mental health disorders may both contribute to and be exacerbated by various types of hair loss, and an interdisciplinary treatment model is recommended for effective diagnosis and patient care.

This review discusses psychological treatments for alopecia, finding limited but positive effects on mental health, quality of life, and possibly hair growth; however, more research is needed to establish intervention efficacy.

This article discusses various hair and nail abnormalities linked to paraneoplastic conditions and cancer treatments, emphasizing their potential role in diagnosing and managing internal malignancies and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews various hair abnormalities in adolescents and young adults and emphasizes the importance of timely diagnosis and education for optimal patient outcomes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study examined aging hair follicle stem cells in mice and found that inflammation reduction in dermal white adipose tissue can stimulate regenerative behavior, highlighting its role in hair follicle aging.

This review discusses the causes of hair shaft abnormalities and highlights the role of cosmetic products in treating hair disorders, though it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that cathepsin L deficiency in mice led to significant abnormalities in hair follicle development and cycling, including disrupted hair shaft outgrowth and premature hair growth phase entry.

This study found that NIH hairless mice exhibit abnormalities in hair growth and immune-related pathways, with Pik3r1 and Pik3r3 identified as key genes for further investigation.

This study found that estazolam improved PTSD-like behavior deficits in an animal model, which was linked to increased allopregnanolone levels in specific brain regions.

This review introduces an integrated view of hair follicle behavior, highlighting a Yin Yang model of regulation and suggesting glycans as key elements in hair follicle growth control, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study suggests that inhibitors of steroidogenic enzymes may have therapeutic potential for certain behavioral disorders linked to dopaminergic hyperfunction, despite concerns about their endocrine impacts.

This study found that early life stress significantly affects hedonic sensitivity to high-palatable food by altering gonadal hormones in prenatally-stressed male and female rats, with sex-dependent changes in reward-related behaviors and neurochemistry.

This study analyzed skin from 538 knockout mouse mutants and identified 50 with epidermal phenotypes, providing valuable insights into genetic conditions and systemic effects related to skin abnormalities.

This review highlights that children with adrenal disorders may experience neurological and psychiatric symptoms, with potential long-term cognitive and behavioral effects from excess glucocorticoids.

This case report describes a 3-year-old male with X-linked ichthyosis and associated neurologic abnormalities, identifying an unusual cortical development malformation and suggesting that abnormal hair banding may assist diagnosis.

This study found that administering Neem ethanol extract to pregnant and lactating rats did not cause developmental abnormalities or toxicity in the offspring at tested doses.

This study found that acute sleep deprivation enhanced 5α-reductase expression and activity in the rat prefrontal cortex, and finasteride treatment reduced associated psychosis- and mania-like behaviors.

This case report details a 28-year-old male who developed trichotillomania following a traumatic brain injury, highlighting diagnostic challenges in distinguishing overlapping psychiatric and compulsive behaviors, and underscores the importance of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment approach.

This study reports that despite rescuing neurulation and skin barrier defects, Grhl3 gene overexpression in mice leads to hearing impairment, hair loss, and other developmental abnormalities, highlighting low tolerance for Grhl3 dysregulation.

This review discusses the role of TGF-β signaling in stem cell recruitment and tissue regeneration, indicating that abnormalities in TGF-β activation contribute to various major diseases and suggesting avenues for therapeutic intervention.
