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.

In this study of patients with androgenetic alopecia taking off-label low-dose oral minoxidil, adverse events like dizziness/lightheadedness, hypertrichosis, and extremity edema were observed in 14.9% of patients, with females experiencing more adverse events; higher doses increased dizziness risk, leading researchers to recommend cautious dosing approaches.

This study revealed significant signals of drug-related cognitive disorders in several medications that lack relevant FDA label warnings, suggesting a need for increased clinical awareness and potential label updates.

Finasteride blocks deoxycorticosterone's anticonvulsant effects in infant rats, but indomethacin doesn't.

This study found that two unrelated domestic shorthair cats had novel DSG4 gene mutations causing defective hair shafts, representing the first report of pathogenic DSG4 variants in domestic animals.

This research suggests that the digit ratio, 2D:4D, is unlikely to be a significant indicator of male androgenetic alopecia, contradicting a prominent isolated finding from a previous study.

Direct-to-consumer teledermatology is not effectively reaching underserved populations due to language, technology, and insurance barriers.

In this experimental study, there was no impact of the surrounding ferromagnetic film on the magnetization reversal processes in submicrometric antidot arrays, though a significant increase in coercivity was observed.

This abstract highlights that preliminary results from the REDUCE trial indicate dutasteride may lower prostate cancer incidence by 23% in older men compared to a placebo.

This study found that inpatient dermatology consultations at a large tertiary care center often led to significant treatment changes, especially for complex skin conditions potentially linked to systemic diseases.

This case report describes a 14-year-old female patient with both Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Diabetes Mellitus, highlighting the rarity of this combination and the importance of thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose and predict the clinical course of the disease.

This paper discusses the management of pregnancy in a carrier of the Donohue mutation and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the ACE gene I/D polymorphism may serve as a genetic susceptibility indicator for androgenetic alopecia in an Egyptian patient group.

This study found that dutasteride affected spinal bone formation in curdlan-treated SKG mice, while DHT treatment reduced osteoblast differentiation in vitro, suggesting that DHT inhibition might unexpectedly increase spinal ankylosis progression in ankylosing spondylitis patients.

This article presents a case of a seventeen-year-old female with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis and emphasizes the importance of distinguishing its clinical features from other similar disorders, supported by dermoscopic and histopathological findings.

This study found that PLGA nanospheres improved scalp-pore permeability and enhanced hair growth activities in mice, suggesting their potential as drug delivery carriers for hair growth ingredients.

This case report highlights an unusual trichoscopic appearance in alopecia areata due to dithranol staining, which may obscure typical patterns and reveal atypical vascular features in the interfollicular spaces.

This study demonstrated that optical coherence tomography effectively detects significant changes in hair structure caused by steroid treatment, suggesting its potential use in doping control and clinical therapy monitoring.

This study reports that dermoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool for distinguishing acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp from female pattern hair loss by identifying specific hair features.

This study from the Danish Skin Cohort found that patients with alopecia areata, followed by those with hidradenitis suppurativa, were willing to spend the most daily time on treatment, reflecting possible unmet needs, and that this willingness correlated with disease severity across different dermatological conditions.

This article provides contact details and affiliations for Amy M. Karch and Fred E. Karch; it presents no new research findings.

A dissolving microneedle patch with dutasteride offers effective, long-lasting hair loss treatment with fewer side effects.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that ultrasound and color Doppler analyses may enhance the differential diagnosis of GnRH-dependent precocious puberty in girls with premature breast development or pubic hair growth.

This review examined genetic factors in 46, XY differences/disorders of sex development and found that whole-exome sequencing is more effective than panel sequencing for molecular diagnosis. It identified regional genetic variation and emphasized next-generation sequencing's role in detecting variants related to gonadal and androgen-related genes.

Severe digestive issues in DRESS need early endoscopy for better treatment.

This report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, indicating a new genetic variant associated with the disorder.

This study reported a significant association between the SNP rs2479106 in the DENND1A gene and PCOS in Saudi Arabian females, while no association was found for SNPs rs10818854 and rs10986105.

This brief report describes a case of Fox-Fordyce disease in a prepubertal girl but reports no new clinical findings.
