In this study, researchers observed a curvilinear relationship between loneliness and hair cortisol concentration among older adults at elevated cardiovascular risk, with cortisol levels higher at low-to-moderate loneliness and lower at higher loneliness, though results were sensitive to some data exclusions.

In this case report, a 72-year-old female with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome showed significant improvement in symptoms and gastrointestinal polyps after hormone therapy and additional treatment.

This study found that Black patients with discoid lupus erythematosus had significantly worse CLASI damage scores and higher odds for dyspigmentation, scalp involvement, and scarring alopecia compared to non-Black patients.

Men with CCCA often face delayed diagnosis and severe hair loss, highlighting the need for earlier recognition and treatment.

This study, conducted at Montefiore Medical Center, reports that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia predominantly affects middle-aged Black or African American women, often presenting without symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. The study underscores the need for a specific ICD-10 code for better epidemiological studies.

A woman with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease developed lupus-like skin lesions, improved with treatment, suggesting a unique skin condition in carriers.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, including its various forms and potential multifactorial causes, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that in a mouse model of Focal Dermal Hypoplasia, treatment with lithium carbonate improved skin disease symptoms compared to controls, though disease severity varied and posed interpretation challenges.

Skin-associated cartilage cells can influence hair growth by altering specific signaling pathways.

A man with both skin lesions and lung cancer improved quickly with chemotherapy, suggesting the skin condition might be a reaction to immune system injury.

Elderly patients with CCCA were all African American with low vitamin D, but no iron or zinc deficiencies, and no hormonal imbalances compared to younger patients.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This study found that ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment improved skin fibrosis, reduced skin hardening, and enhanced hair follicle growth in localized scleroderma patients, with significant improvements across several clinical measures and no severe adverse effects observed.

In this study, LC-OCT imaging was found to noninvasively identify specific features of cicatricial alopecia due to lupus erythematosus, such as hyperreflective collagen fibers, which may aid in distinguishing it from other types of scarring alopecia.

This article reviews central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly in women of African descent, and explains its progression and symptoms but provides no new clinical findings.

This case report describes alopecia universalis-like hair loss occurring in two patients with cutaneous T cell lymphoma, providing clinical, dermoscopic, and pathologic features to help differentiate it from alopecia areata universalis.

This case report details a 71-year-old man diagnosed with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and endoscopic evaluation due to the disease's progressive nature and significant mortality risk.

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 study observed that the rs231775 CTLA4 genetic variant was more prevalent in Alopecia Areata patients than controls, particularly among those with severe disease.

In this study, researchers identified CENPV as a new CYLD interacting partner that localizes to primary cilia and regulates acetylated tubulin levels, offering insights into the pathogenesis of skin appendage tumors.

This report describes a Cronkhite-Canada syndrome patient with severe sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation successfully treated using combined therapies, including recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin.

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 article introduces a series on low level laser light therapy, focusing on its science, regulatory aspects, and controlled trial methodologies, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the benefits and applications of low level laser therapy in cosmetic dermatology, particularly for skin conditions and pigmentation disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study investigated a spontaneous mutation in mice resulting in hair abnormalities and elevated IgE levels, which resembles human Netherton's syndrome and monilethrix.

This study found that the TLR3 L412F genetic variant is associated with severe viral infections, especially CMV, and immune dysfunction in a subgroup of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis patients.

The authors report that a 62-year-old woman with invasive conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma experienced complete remission two years after combining cemiplimab, retinoic acid, and IFNα-2b treatments, highlighting potential utility despite limited availability of IFNα-2b.

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.

This letter discusses how differentiating features in clinical and radiological findings can help distinguish pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome from lymphangioleiomyomatosis, noting overlapping symptoms but specific distinctive traits.

This review discusses Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, highlighting a relatively mild case and suggesting that it may be a more benign and possibly reversible condition with treatment, but reports no new clinical results.
