This case report highlighted two instances of bezoar disease: a massive gastric trichobezoar in a teenage girl and multiple gastrointestinal phytobezoars in an adult man, underscoring the importance of CT imaging for diagnosis and the effectiveness of surgical intervention for removing large or multiple bezoars.

This study demonstrated that gene-corrected 3D skin constructs from RDEB patient-derived iPSCs, grafted onto immunocompetent mice, showed normal collagen VII expression after two months.

This case report describes the first known instance of a testosterone-secreting steroid cell ovarian tumor causing pulmonary embolism and erythrocytosis in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its potential role as a rare cause of hypercoagulable state.

This case study presented by the researchers describes the effective use of topical calcipotriene ointment in treating a 6-year-old girl with en coup de sabre scleroderma, resulting in normalization of the sclerotic skin, hair regrowth, and improved pigmentation.

This study found that administering calcium blockers verapamil or nimodipine significantly preserved auditory function and hair cell survival in Cx26-cKO mice, suggesting potential protective effects for other inner ear disorders.

This study found that while no predictive factors for response to vismodegib were identified, longer treatment duration was associated with a lower risk of relapse in basal cell carcinoma patients.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is frequently misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for careful differentiation to avoid unnecessary treatments.

This report describes a 66-year-old woman's diagnosis of porphyria cutanea tarda, suggested by her painless blisters on sun-exposed areas, pink urine, and elevated urinary porphyrins.

This study introduced Scd3-Cre mice, which enabled sebocyte-specific manipulation, revealing that sebaceous lipid depletion impaired water repulsion, thermoregulation, and the ocular surface, resembling Meibomian gland dysfunction.

In this study, researchers identified PSENEN mutations that can lead to a form of Dowling-Degos disease, characterized by follicular hyperkeratosis and an increased susceptibility to acne inversa, especially in the presence of certain trigger factors.

This case report describes the occurrence of eruptive vellus hair cysts in twin patients, adding to the literature on this dermatological condition.

This study reports that dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis of epidermal cysts by making small puncta visible, which are often missed during standard visual examinations.

This study found that super-enhancers in squamous cell carcinoma stem cells are distinctly different from those in normal skin stem cells, with ETS2 playing a crucial role in promoting tumor growth.

This study found that mutations in the TRPV3 gene can cause a broader range of symptoms in Olmsted syndrome than previously recognized, including severe palmoplantar keratoderma without other classic features.

Severe digestive issues in DRESS need early endoscopy for better treatment.

This study found that CNGC 6, CNGC 9, and CNGC 14 are crucial for maintaining calcium oscillations necessary for normal root hair growth in plants, with mutations leading to defects like swelling and bursting.

This article reviews the characteristics, common locations, and causes of epidermoid cysts, noting that surgical excision is the standard treatment, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that oral contraceptive pills containing cyproterone acetate and drospirenone were more effective at reducing hirsutism in women with PCOS than those containing levonorgestrel over a 6-month period.

This study found that a highly resistant structure, located at the interface between the cuticle and cortex of human hair, acts as a penetration barrier, which the authors propose to name the "cuticle anchored resistant base" or CARB.

In this study, a 7-year-old male ferret was diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism complicated by dilatative cardiomyopathy, chronic active hepatitis, and renal disease, following symptoms including progressive hair loss and severe dehydration.

This case report describes the successful treatment of scedosporiosis-induced cellulitis with voriconazole and intermittent pneumatic compression in a 72-year-old Portuguese woman.
