This study investigated the efficacy and safety of a gel combining topical calcipotriol and steroid for alopecia areata. It found the combination worked similarly to steroids alone in reducing hair loss, but with fewer side effects.

This study found that redhaired individuals exhibit higher calcidiol levels compared to non-redhaired individuals, suggesting a possible evolutionary adaptation for vitamin D photosynthesis in low UV-B environments in Europe.

Calcipotriol may effectively treat hair loss in alopecia areata, working better in children than adults.

This review discusses cyclosporine A's mechanisms of action and side effects compared to tacrolimus in renal transplantation, but it reports no new experimental results; the authors highlight implications for cardiovascular risk management.

This study found that a single topical application of calcipotriol ointment did not affect systemic calcium levels in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.

In this study, the authors reported that in rat skin affected by localized calciphylaxis, although regeneration occurs and some connective tissue remains, the regenerate resembles scar tissue with reduced hair presence and lacks restored elastic fibers.

In this study, histologic analysis of rat skin with localized calciphylaxis indicated that although the skin showed potential for regeneration, the result was incomplete and resembled scar tissue with diminished hair presence.

This study found that topical calcipotriol lotion resulted in hair regrowth in 59.1% of alopecia areata patients, with better response observed in those with lower serum vitamin D levels.

This report describes almost complete resolution of calcinosis and healing of associated ulcers in an 83-year-old woman with localized scleroderma after repeated intralesional steroid injections.

This case report observed a subepidermal calcified nodule on the face of a 15-year-old boy, thought to originate from hair follicles, with calcium being eliminated through the skin.

This study found that both topical calcipotriol and narrow band ultraviolet B phototherapy improved hair regrowth and vitamin D3 levels in alopecia areata patients.

This review discusses topical calcineurin inhibitors for cutaneous lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for more comparative studies with corticosteroids.

This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.

This case report details a 13-year-old Thai boy with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, who presented with cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery calcification and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

This commentary discusses whether topical steroids or topical calcineurin inhibitors are better for treating scalp atrophy caused by steroid use in patients with scarring alopecia, but specific results or conclusions are not provided.

This study reported that topical calcipotriol led to complete scalp hair regrowth in three patients with alopecia totalis, with no relapse observed for 6 months post-treatment.

This case report describes a Labrador retriever with arthrosis whose symptoms improved after sequential treatments including corticosteroids and tetracycline, leading to the resolution of dermatitis and nodular tumors.

This article reviews the role and clinical applications of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and parathyroid hormone-related peptide in dermatology, with a focus on psoriasis treatment, and reports no new experimental findings.

This historical observation found that parathyroid extract treatment in newborn rats led to a condition resembling scleroderma, characterized by skin hardening, calcium deposition, and possible necrosis.

This case study reports the rare occurrence of widespread soft-tissue calcification in a young patient with SLE, suggesting that 99mTe-phosphate compounds could help diagnose this complication.

In this study, an 8-year-old girl with dermatomyositis and extensive calcinosis showed complete clearance of calcinosis and good disease control after treatment with a combination of corticosteroids, methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, pamidronate, and intravenous immunoglobulin.

This study evaluated a new computer-aided detection system for identifying Breast Arterial Calcification in mammograms, achieving 70% accuracy, but highlighted the need for a larger dataset to explore its relationship with cardiovascular diseases.

This article presents an update on a family with Coats' plus disorder, documenting additional symptoms and two new similar cases, and reviews literature suggesting a link to dyskeratosis congenita for potential molecular insights.

This study reports that citrulline, uniquely found in the inner root sheath of hair follicles, can be specifically detected with the carbamido diacetyl reaction, resulting in a bright orange color.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor in lampreys, which lack bones and hair, binds 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and may function to induce enzymes for detoxifying substances.

In this case report, a four-year-old girl was diagnosed with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, manifesting as diffuse alopecia, frontal bossing, hypoplastic teeth, and skin-colored papules, due to a genetic mutation causing resistance to 1.25-dihydroxy vitamin D.

This review discusses the regulation of the MiT-TFE family transcription factors, particularly TFEB, through phosphorylation-mediated subcellular localization and reports no new clinical results.
