This study found that central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia primarily affects adult women of African descent and suggests an association with traumatic hair care practices and delayed diagnosis.

This study reported that 7.80% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients experienced scarring alopecia, with mucocutaneous lesions and certain autoantibodies identified as risk factors, and some organ involvements and immunosuppressants as protective factors.

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.

This study found that serum cystatin C levels may be elevated in adolescent females with PCOS, suggesting it could serve as a predictive marker for metabolic and cardiovascular issues independent of renal function.

This case report describes a 5-year-old Sudanese boy with systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis who also exhibited unique cutaneous manifestations and peripheral eosinophilia alongside tinea capitis.

This study reported that an HS-associated NCSTN mutation in iPSC-derived skin organoids led to altered hair follicle stem cell differentiation and increased expression of proteins linked to HS inflammation.

This case report suggests that Trichostasis spinulosa should be considered in diagnosing treatment-resistant open comedone-like lesions and that skin surface biopsy might be an effective diagnostic method.

This case report highlights that Sheehan's syndrome can still occur in developed countries due to factors like migration and delayed diagnosis, with diabetes insipidus sometimes masked by adrenal insufficiency.

In this case study, a 46-year-old woman with tattoos and a history of hypothyroidism developed autoimmune-like symptoms, highlighting the importance of distinguishing ASIA syndrome from other immune disorders and assessing potential adjuvant exposure.

This study suggests that targeting the increased expression of SIX1 in systemic sclerosis may be a viable strategy for addressing dermal fibrosis.

In this study, researchers found potential evidence of inducible skin-associated lymphoid tissue (iSALT) in alopecia areata patients undergoing topical immunotherapy, which may suggest an essential role in treatment efficacy.

This article discusses features, genetics, and diagnostic challenges of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that coexisting LSS and TSPEAR variants might contribute to a complex phenotype of congenital hypotrichosis and ectodermal abnormalities in a child, and highlights the need for cautious interpretation of genotype-phenotype links and the potential value of broader genetic testing.

This book reviews interdisciplinary strategies for sustainable development, emphasizing integrative approaches that combine environmental, social, and economic pillars in decision-making but reports no new research results.

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.

In this study, no significant differences in hidradenitis suppurativa severity or testosterone levels were found between women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting PCOS does not predict poor prognosis in HS patients.

This study describes dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) as a rare and aggressive form of chronic scalp inflammation presenting with pustules and nodules, commonly affecting males and African Americans, and leading to significant quality of life impacts and psychological distress.

This study suggests that macrophages, especially CD206+ subsets, play a key role in hair growth induced by squaric acid dibutyl ester, a therapy used for alopecia areata.

This study found that CRISPR/Cas9 efficiently edited two cellulose synthase-like genes in spinach, significantly altering root hair growth patterns and suggesting potential for large-scale genome editing in this crop.

In this study, chitosan glycolate sponges demonstrated the highest cell survival rates and blood absorption, highlighting their potential as hemostatic materials, whereas chitosan ascorbate sponges inhibited cell growth and metabolic activity, indicating further development is needed.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

In this study, it was found that higher test anxiety negatively correlated with lower OSCE performance among medical students at Taif Medical College, with female students experiencing a greater impact than males.

This case report illustrates how SNP array testing helped identify a DCAF17 mutation linked to Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome in consanguineous Qatari siblings with shared features including alopecia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

This review covers the clinical features and heterogeneity of polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new findings, emphasizing the need for further research on its complex traits and interactions.

This study reported that using the Sinclair Shedding Scale and intralesional corticosteroid injections may help diagnose and manage alopecia areata incognita in women experiencing excessive hair shedding without clear diagnostic indicators.

This study found a previously unreported ST14 gene mutation in a patient with ichthyosis-hypotrichosis syndrome, highlighting novel skin and hair characteristics and emphasizing the critical role of the Asp482 amino acid in matriptase activation.

This study concluded that the Scalp Photographic Index is a reliable and validated tool for objectively classifying and scoring various scalp conditions.

This study suggests that long-term treatment with the contact sensitizer SADBE in mice may reduce leucocyte traffic in alopecia areata through impaired leucocyte extravasation.

This study found that negative social attractiveness ratings for bald men by same-aged women occurred only when individuating information about the target was absent, while the physical attractiveness stereotype remained active at an implicit level.

This study found that 10.3% of female high school students in Islamabad screened positive for PCOS, with associations including irregular menstrual cycles and higher BMI among those testing positive.
