This case report identified a new isotype of male androgenetic alopecia (inverse-MAGA) in a man successfully treated with finasteride and minoxidil, suggesting the need for future studies to evaluate this variant widely.

This article reviews the condition plica neuropathica, including its manifestations, potential causes, and treatment, but it does not provide new clinical findings.

In this case report, researchers document a rare instance of dystocia in a beetal breed goat from Pakistan caused by a fetal monster known as Perosomus Elumbis, highlighting the need for understanding and managing such conditions to ensure successful delivery outcomes.

This report describes a case of Ambras syndrome with a chromosomal inversion on chromosome 8, similar to a previous case, but not associated with altered androgen levels.

This study found a 10.5% prevalence of dermatophytosis in cats treated at the Animal Health Center in Cimahi during August-September 2023, with lesions most commonly appearing in young, female, and domestic breed cats, predominantly affecting their dorsal region.

In this case report, an atypical form of tinea favosa in an 11-year-old girl was initially misdiagnosed, highlighting the importance of mycological examination for accurate diagnosis, especially when diffuse scalp scaling is present.

This study found that Atlantic croaker nuclear androgen receptors AR1 and AR2 have different binding affinities for androgens, suggesting that they may mediate distinct physiological actions in teleosts.

In this study, dermatophytosis was prevalent among 52% of dogs and 70% of cats with skin lesions, with younger animals facing higher infection risks; combined itraconazole, clotrimazole, supportive care, and vaccination led to the fastest recovery.

This study reports that a 14-year-old female rhesus monkey with alopecia universalis was found to have a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease similar to human alopecia areata universalis.

This source underscores the need for a multidisciplinary effort to raise awareness of Demodex and demodicosis, suggesting that prioritizing research, diagnostics, and treatment development could enhance global health outcomes and improve quality of life for affected individuals.

This study developed an improved reference genome for the African spiny mouse using long Nanopore sequencing reads, potentially aiding future research into the species' remarkable tissue regeneration capabilities.

This study analyzed skin biopsies from human monkeypox virus (hMPXV1) cases and found characteristic pustular stage features, including epidermal necrosis, shadow cell appearance, ballooned keratinocytes, and a dense inflammatory infiltrate, expanding histological knowledge crucial for understanding this disease and related Orthopoxvirus infections.

The authors concluded that steatocystoma multiplex is a rare dermatological condition with poor treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and psychological support for affected individuals.

This study found that the Abyssinian and Sphynx breeds have significantly higher felinine:creatinine ratios in their urine compared to several longhaired cat breeds, suggesting hair growth may influence felinine production.

This study found that exposure to finasteride impaired spermatogenesis in male Xenopus laevis by affecting sex-specific feedback mechanisms in the hypothalamus–pituitary–gonad axis.

This study found that Demodex infestation was present in 21% of healthy volunteers, with higher rates in older individuals and more common in PUM personnel than students.

This report presents the second known case of erythema nodosum without typical associated conditions, which could be linked to mycoplasma infection, although no testing was conducted to confirm this in the patient.

This case study describes a successful treatment of androgenetic alopecia in a 34-year-old man through a comprehensive program involving low-dose minoxidil, without finasteride, resulting in significant hair growth improvements.

This study diagnosed an 11-year-old girl with initial androgenetic alopecia and monilethrix after observing unique hair shaft abnormalities and skin conditions, unlike her affected parents.

This study analyzed animal hairs from 18th-century burial sites in Mazamet, France, reporting distinct hair morphologies consistent with the use of common local animal furs such as goat, badger, cow, or horse, reflecting the modest socioeconomic status of the individuals interred.

This study found that the compound 9,11-dehydrocortexolone 17alpha-butyrate (CB-03-04) showed strong local antiandrogenic activity in animal models, suggesting potential for treating prostate conditions.

In this study, researchers found that the cornification process in the nuptial pads of Xenopus frogs involves the expression of the type II hair keratin homolog, krt59, and is regulated by the transcription factor hoxc13, showing similarities to mammalian hair evolution.

This collection of articles explores advancements in reproductive technologies for domestic dogs and cats, highlighting improvements like finasteride treatment for BPH in dogs and a rapid freezing method for cat sperm that enhance fertility preservation and genetic resource banking.

This study examined the complex morphology of the cornified claw sheath in domesticated cats, uncovering structures and growth patterns that help maintain sharp claw tips essential for climbing and prey capture.

Topical minoxidil is dangerous for cats and dogs.

This study found that eosinophils are a useful diagnostic feature for alopecia areata, especially when the typical "swarm of bees" lymphoid infiltrate is absent, helping differentiate it from trichotillomania.

This study describes a 4-year-old spayed female ferret diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma, where surgical removal of the mass resulted in complete hair regrowth and improvement of clinical symptoms within four weeks.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with an extensive Microsporum canis scalp infection, highlighting griseofulvin as the preferred treatment and noting corticosteroids' benefit in severe inflammatory cases.
