Skin problems can indicate different diseases inside the body.

In this study, a patient with cystic fibrosis developed iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to impaired clearance of budesonide from concurrent itraconazole use, highlighting the need for regular monitoring in such combination therapies.

This case report describes a 75-year-old carpenter with unexplained weight loss, fingernail loss, and discoloration of the palms and soles, whose diagnostic investigations revealed hypertrophic pangastritis and enteritis.

This study found that obese patients had higher prevalence and severity of skin conditions like acanthosis nigricans and infections compared to those with normal BMI, which could help detect metabolic syndrome early.

This study found that deleting the CD98hc protein in mouse skin impairs wound healing and homeostasis, resembling aging effects, due to disrupted integrin signaling pathways.

This letter to the editor raises the possibility of a new medical entity characterized by symptoms such as poikiloderma, hyperpigmentation, alopecia, malformed bones, lymphedema, and decreased cortisol, but provides no clinical results.

This study reports that even minimal improvements in SLE-related fatigue and skin symptoms are meaningful to patients, supporting the content validity of the FACIT-Fatigue scale for measuring these effects.

This case report describes a 40-year-old woman with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome whose symptoms, including gastrointestinal issues and skin changes, improved significantly with corticosteroids, co-infection treatment, and nutritional counseling.

This article reviews the clinical complications and increased mortality risks associated with Cushing's syndrome but does not present new clinical data; it emphasizes the need for prompt treatment to mitigate these risks.

In this study, the researchers observed significant metabolic dysregulation in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly involving lipid metabolism and the downregulation of AMPK-related genes.

This case report describes a 68-year-old patient with mild Sars-Cov2 infection who developed rapidly progressing bullous and necrotic skin lesions leading to osteomyelitis.

This article reports a case of rhabdomyolysis in a patient two hours after consuming the freshwater fish Mylossoma duriventre, suggesting a possible link to Haff disease from an unidentified toxin.

This study found that nutritional deficiencies are common in Egyptian patients with rheumatic diseases, particularly among the elderly, and should be routinely monitored regardless of disease type or duration.

In this study of patients with obesity, the most common skin disorders observed were acanthosis nigricans, skin tags, and stretch marks, emphasizing the impact of obesity on dermatological health.

This case study describes a 31-year-old man with myotonia and a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and androgenic alopecia, who presented with arm and leg weakness.

This case study observed that long-term itraconazole and budesonide use in a cystic fibrosis patient led to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to inhibited metabolic clearance of budesonide, suggesting a need for regular adrenal insufficiency monitoring in such treatments.

In a mouse model of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, this study found that inhibiting the protein S100A8 with paquinimod alleviated hair loss and reduced oxidative stress and ferroptosis, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for managing this side effect in chemotherapy patients.

This case report highlights a new manifestation of lipodystrophy in HIV patients: excess fat deposition in the anterior neck, which may have implications for treatment strategies.

This study found that skin changes in morbidly obese individuals are associated with underlying metabolic disturbances but are not currently valuable as independent tools for assessing metabolic risk or treatment response.

In this case report, a 42-year-old male diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome presented symptoms like chronic diarrhea, significant weight loss, skin hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and nail dystrophy, with endoscopic findings revealing numerous gastrointestinal polyps.

This study observed that partial autotaxin deficiency in mice protects against diet-induced obesity and systemic insulin resistance, suggesting the ATX-LPA pathway negatively affects skeletal muscle insulin signaling and mitochondrial function during obesity.

In this case study, a man with necrolytic migratory erythema and a glucagonoma experienced decreased plasma glucagon levels and reduced metastases after treatment with dimethyltriazenoimidazole carboxamide.

This study examined older adults undergoing chemotherapy and found that nutritional-inflammatory biomarker ratios were significantly linked to cognitive impairments, treatment side effects, and quality of life indicators, suggesting these lab measurements might help identify high-risk individuals for intervention.

This review discusses the challenges patients face after critical illness and suggests that individualized rehabilitation starting in critical care can potentially improve long-term outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This case study describes a 30-year-old woman with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome from adrenal carcinoma, who showed significant health improvement and normalized tests 18 months after left adrenalectomy.

In this case report, the rapid clinical improvement of a 2-month-old rescued kitten with severe malnutrition-related ascites after nutritional intervention highlights the importance of nutritional assessment in diagnosing ascites in young felines.

This case report highlights that repletion of various micronutrients, including thiamine, significantly improved heart failure symptoms and cardiac function in a malnourished patient with vitamin deficiencies.

This review highlights the role of dermatologists in detecting early cutaneous signs of obesity-related metabolic syndrome, which may enable earlier treatment to prevent long-term consequences; it reports no new clinical results.

This report describes two cases where acquired zinc deficiency was associated with skin symptoms like hair loss and eczema, suggesting a recognizable syndrome in zinc-deficient patients.

This study found that P144 (Disitertide) significantly reduced collagen deposition and improved muscle organization in a rabbit model of post-radiotherapy fibrosis, suggesting potential antifibrotic effects.
