In this study, exome sequencing revealed that two brothers with ichthyosis, born to consanguineous parents, had NIPAL4 autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis, while the older brother's blindness resulted from separate mutations in the peroxidasin gene, which were also found in an unaffected sister.

This study reports two new cases of Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome and suggests that trigeminal anesthesia and/or partial scalp alopecia may be key criteria for diagnosis.

This case report highlights an 11-year-old girl with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, identifying associated Salzmann's nodular degeneration of the cornea and emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary management approach.

This study observed that transgenic mice with overexpression of HE4 developed keratitis and severe corneal opacity, suggesting that HE4 may significantly influence keratopathy and inflammatory responses in the eye.

This study concluded that hair-derived stem cells from older donors may offer a promising alternative for autologous corneal endothelial replacement, potentially benefitting patients of various age groups.

This case study describes a cat with concurrent cutaneous xanthomas, demodicosis, and dermatophytosis, which suggests potential primary hyperlipidaemia as the underlying cause for its symptoms.

This study found that patients with severe alopecia areata demonstrated reduced corneal sensitivity and increased corneal staining, and exhibited altered topographic and biomechanical eye parameters compared to controls, suggesting a possible increased risk of keratoconus and the necessity for regular ophthalmological exams.

In this study, transgenic mice altered to express a Clim-inhibiting molecule under a keratin promoter showed corneal degradation and hair follicle failure, highlighting Clim proteins' role in maintaining these tissues.

This case report details the ocular complications of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome in a 20-year-old Bangladeshi patient, highlighting symptoms like dry eyes, Meibomian gland dysfunction, and cataracts.

In this case report, the authors suggest an association between prolonged finasteride use and anterior subcapsular cataracts, as observed in a 43-year-old man, marking the first reported instance.

This case report details a 65-year-old woman who developed malignant melanoma in her right eye socket following previous eye trauma, treated by orbital exenteration.

This review explores the potential of alginate as a promising alternative to donor tissue for corneal transplantation due to its adaptability, transparency, and low immunogenicity, and discusses how chemical modifications can enhance its properties for use in corneal tissue engineering.

This study found that the loss of Msx2 in knockout mice led to phenotypes similar to Peters anomaly and microphthalmia, suggesting that MSX2 plays a critical role in anterior segment development of the eye.

This case report indicates that retinoblastoma can occur in a microphthalmic eye and recommends using multiple imaging techniques due to potential differences in calcification visibility.

This study presents cases of paraproteinemic keratopathy associated with multiple myeloma and MGUS, highlighting varied treatment responses and the need for long-term follow-up to better understand disease progression and management.

This study found that self-supervised pretraining significantly improves accuracy in medical image classifiers for dermatology and chest X-ray tasks, outperforming supervised baselines and showing robustness to distribution shifts with limited labeled data.

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.

This review discusses various forms of ichthyosis, including genetic and acquired types, detailing their characteristics, causes, and potential management strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study reported on a 3-year-old child with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II treated in the Gaza Strip, whose condition deteriorated despite vitamin D and calcium treatments, leading to recurrent chest infections, respiratory failure, and eventual death.

This article reviews different generations of synthetic retinoids for dermatological use, discussing their efficacy and significant side effects, but reports no new clinical results.

Experts discussed treatments for skin conditions in children, emphasizing hydration, cautious medication use, and early intervention for infections.

This case report suggests a possible association between long-term finasteride use for male pattern baldness and the development of cataracts and intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome in a patient.

This review discusses the various causes and associations of eyelash trichomegaly, including congenital syndromes, acquired conditions, and drug effects, without reporting new clinical results.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who experienced significant improvement in visual acuity after stopping tamoxifen, which was associated with bilateral optic neuropathies.

This paper presents two cases of rare intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations and discusses their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and management, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This report describes the clinical and histopathological features of lipoid proteinosis in a brother and sister with lid lesions, highlighting the importance of recognizing such lesions for diagnosis.

This report documents the second known case of Castleman's disease in the lacrimal gland, diagnosed in an 84-year-old woman through histological examination after excising a left upper lid mass.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

This article reviews the classification of hair shaft abnormalities, outlining their diagnostic features, but does not present new research findings.
