This review found evidence supporting zinc use in treating infectious and inflammatory skin conditions, as well as hair loss, with supplementation recommended for zinc-deficient patients.

This review discusses the use of zinc supplementation in dermatology for various skin conditions and reports no new clinical results, providing references for its application.

This review of DAVID syndrome cases found that ACTH deficiency often preceded by sinus infections or alopecia is linked to specific NFKB2 gene mutations, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis to prevent complications.

This article discusses telogen effluvium, a condition where a large number of scalp hairs prematurely enter the shedding phase, and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the range of potential underlying causes.

This article reviews the research history linking zinc deficiency to hair loss and mucous membrane changes but reports no new clinical results.

The conference concluded that understanding hair and nail disorders is important, iron deficiency may be linked to hair loss, and while some treatments for skin conditions are effective, they may have risks and high costs.

This study observed that successful weight loss following bariatric surgery may improve some skin conditions and metabolic profiles, but also may lead to a decrease in vitamin B12 levels, suggesting a need for nutritional supplements.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

This review discusses clinical, hormonal, and genetic aspects of nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia and reports no new findings; the condition is highlighted as a potential cause of premature adrenarche and other symptoms in young people.

This case report describes a male patient with aromatase deficiency, revealing that a c.628G>A mutation can lead to varied clinical features, such as low bone mass and normal metabolic profiles.

This review found little evidence supporting zinc as a first-line treatment for dermatological conditions, except in cases of systemic zinc deficiency, and suggests further research is needed.

This case report describes two patients with trichothiodystrophy who exhibited a different pattern of hair protein composition changes, suggesting a subgroup of TTD characterized by partial loss of high-sulfur proteins without significant alteration in their amino acid composition.

This study found that early biochemical screening and molecular confirmation are crucial for distinguishing profound from partial biotinidase deficiency, which supports timely treatment and management in symptomatic children.

This review highlights the connection between sex hormones and metabolic dysfunction, emphasizing how conditions like male hypogonadism and female hyperandrogenism can increase the risk and severity of hepatic steatosis, which often progresses alongside metabolic syndrome and elevates mortality risks.

This article presents a unique case of post-partum panhypopituitarism and autoimmune conditions in a 37-year-old woman from Africa, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes in similar settings.

This article discusses the teratogenic risks of skin condition treatments for individuals with DSD and notes that testosterone replacement, often used in this population, may cause acne.

This letter reports that normal iron levels were observed in women with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting the condition may not be related to iron deficiency.

In this case report, a 2.5-year-old boy with biotinidase deficiency, initially misdiagnosed due to overlapping symptoms, showed dramatic improvement in several clinical areas after starting biotin supplementation, but persistent sensorineural hearing loss underscored the importance of early diagnosis for preventing irreversible complications.

In this study of women with female pattern hair loss, iron deficiency was associated with the condition due to significantly lower serum ferritin and altered hematological indices compared to healthy controls, while no significant differences in serotonin levels or renal function were observed.

This study found that patients with scarring alopecia have higher rates of various systemic conditions, such as vitamin D deficiency and metabolic syndrome, compared to the national averages, and noted a significant association between certain types of scarring alopecia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

This study observed that supplementing buffalo calves with a mineral mixture alone or combined with Nigella sativa seeds improved skin conditions and hematobiochemical parameters in calves suffering from parakeratosis, which is primarily due to zinc deficiency.

In this study, hemoglobin levels were the only marker positively correlated with anagen hair ratios in patients with telogen effluvium, suggesting it may be a cost-effective initial test for management.

In this study, researchers examined the prevalence of comorbid conditions among 402 alopecia areata patients, finding that hypothyroidism was notably more frequent in women, while hyperlipidemia was more common in men, with overall thyroid function testing suggested for these patients.

Children need early diagnosis and treatment for iron-deficiency anemia to prevent learning problems and promote health.

This chapter reviews types and causes of hair loss in children and suggests a diagnostic approach for identifying and treating this condition, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, zinc deficiency, iron depletion, and thyroid abnormalities were commonly observed in female pattern hair loss patients, suggesting the benefit of testing for these conditions.

This review discusses the roles of KIT and mast cells in skin physiology and pathology using different genetic models and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest further exploration of KIT deficiency.

This study found that although soil and forage in Middle Paraíba, Brazil, contained normal to high copper levels, the surrounding bovine populations showed signs of copper deficiency likely due to antagonistic effects from high iron, zinc, and manganese levels.

In this study, nearly two-thirds of Saudi adults reported experiencing hair loss following COVID-19 infection or vaccination, with female sex and nutritional deficiencies identified as significant correlates for this condition.

In this study, rice straw-derived smoke water enhanced root growth in rice plants by increasing root meristem size and cell proliferation, reducing superoxide accumulation under phosphorus deficiency, and altering internal phosphorus partitioning, although it suppressed root hair elongation, which affected phosphate uptake.
