In this survey study, 44% of epidermolysis bullosa patients who tried cannabinoids reported effective symptom management, particularly pain relief, but concerns about cost, stigma, and accessibility remain significant. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings and optimize cannabinoid therapies for EB.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study developed new immortalized keratinocyte cell lines lacking COL7A1 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, providing a valuable model to explore the biology and treatment options for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa.

In this case report, researchers describe a 17-year-old African male with an overlapping condition of juvenile dermatomyositis and systemic scleroderma, highlighting the importance of thorough history-taking and physical examination for accurate diagnosis and suggesting early referral to a pediatric rheumatologist to prevent severe outcomes.

This report describes a boy with ectodermal dysplasias who was genetically diagnosed due to newly discovered TSPEAR gene variants, which have now been associated with this condition.

This study found that small proline-rich proteins modify the biomechanical properties of cornified cell envelopes in rodent forestomachs, potentially affecting the tissue's ability to withstand mechanical stress.

BOOST is a promising, easy-to-use treatment for diabetic foot ulcers that improves healing by reducing inflammation and promoting blood vessel growth.

This study in rats with a portocaval shunt observed severe ultrastructural damage to the inner ear, associated with zinc deficiency and symptoms resembling liver cirrhosis in humans.

This study suggests that the adrenal gland may contribute to prostate cancer treatment resistance and indicates potential steroid production or dependency in ovarian cancer.

This study found that mice lacking both vitamin D and calcium-sensing receptors in epidermal keratinocytes are predisposed to developing squamous cell carcinoma as they age, due to impaired oxidative stress response and reduced DNA repair capabilities.

In this case report, a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome also had mononeuritis multiplex, and the authors suggest that an autoimmune mechanism may be involved based on steroid responsiveness and electrophysiological findings.

This report describes a rare case of porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus in a 64-year-old woman, successfully treated with CO₂ laser, highlighting its potential occurrence in older adults.

This study found that citrullinated proteins, which are implicated in rheumatoid arthritis, were abundant in outer membrane vesicles from Porphyromonas gingivalis but nearly absent in mutants, validating their approach to citrullinated peptide identification.

This case report highlights a 60-year-old patient's diagnosis with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, diarrhea, weight loss, brittle nails, alopecia, and skin changes, which showed improvement with treatment.

This abstract contains no research findings and pertains only to website navigation and policies.

This case report describes a 23-year-old man with scurvy, characterized by perifollicular hemorrhages, gum disease, and other symptoms due to a diet low in fresh fruits and vegetables.

This case report details a rare large epidermal cyst over the sacrumcoccygeal region in an elderly patient, which was successfully removed surgically.

This study found that 13% of women who underwent ultrasound imaging showed suggestive signs of polycystic ovaries, but ultrasound findings alone are insufficient to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome.

This case series highlights that diagnosing ovarian Leydig cell tumors can be challenging, and expert sonography is crucial for accurate identification, as imaging modalities like CT, MRI, and PET-CT may fail to detect them.

This article describes the structure of ovine interdigital sinuses using scanning electron microscopy, highlighting features such as dense secretory material, hair presence, and classical apocrine secretion characteristics.

This study describes the diagnosis and successful management of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome in a 78-year-old man, highlighting improvement in symptoms and endoscopic findings after treatment with prednisone and supportive therapies.

This study found moderate to poor agreement among observers assessing ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries, suggesting the need for standardized training modules to improve consistency.

This study identified that the enzyme CYP2B12 is skin-specific and likely plays a role in the metabolism of arachidonic acid, a key component in lipid signaling within sebaceous glands.

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

Fibroblasts from healthy donors can prevent changes seen in recessive epidermolysis bullosa simplex.

This article discusses ovarian steroid cell tumors, which can produce testosterone and manifest symptoms like hirsutism, emphasizing surgery as the primary treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report highlights a 21-year-old woman with seizures, mental retardation, spastic diplegia, and ichthyosis consistent with Sjogren-Larsson syndrome, and emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis when additional symptoms are present.

In this study, researchers analyzed skin tumors from patients with CYLD cutaneous syndrome and found that loss of CYLD function is linked to changes in cellular signaling pathways, particularly NF-κB signaling, and leads to increased secretion of specific extracellular matrix proteins.

This case report describes a 54-year-old woman with familial dyskeratotic comedones who experienced slight improvement in her skin lesions after three months of treatment with topical retinoids and urea cream.

This case report describes a 56-year-old male with chronic watery diarrhea, hyperpigmentation, and alopecia, in whom colonoscopy revealed multiple polypoidal lesions from the distal transverse colon to the rectum.
