This article illustrates various hair shaft defects and suggests that dermatologists can diagnose most of them using light microscopy and polarization without needing advanced imaging techniques.

This article discusses challenges and limitations of using simple tissue mechanics for repairing head and neck skin defects in trauma and does not report new findings; it highlights potential problems with routine methods.

This case report describes a 16-year-old with ectrodactyly-ED-clefting syndrome, where scarring alopecia with follicular involvement appeared during puberty, possibly due to anatomic hair abnormalities.

This study indicated that abnormal Bmp signaling in β-catenin gain-of-function mutants is associated with anorectal malformations, shedding light on potential mechanisms underlying these congenital conditions.

This article defines body dysmorphic disorder as excessive concern over perceived physical defects that cause distress and affect social or functional activities, but it reports no new results.

This study describes three new cases of MCOPS6 with BMP4 variants, noting expanded phenotypic variability but no clinically apparent microphthalmia in these individuals, which is commonly reported in the disorder.

In this study, fungal infections and seborrheic dermatitis were identified as the most common skin conditions among spinal cord injury patients referred to dermatology, impacting quality of life.

This study demonstrated that the immunomodulatory drug FTY720 may enhance the survival of allogeneic fat grafts in mice by reducing immune rejection and improving neovascularization.

This study found no association between androgenetic alopecia and increased prostate volume or serum PSA levels in male patients aged 25–45.

This article discusses a case study supporting the reclassification of KID syndrome as an ectodermal dysplasia, introducing a potential treatment combination that may alleviate symptoms in affected patients.

Patients with GATA2 deficiency show early skin symptoms that help diagnose the condition.

This study describes three adult dogs with sebaceous gland dysplasia, reporting that two showed moderate to marked improvement in symptoms with treatment, though ongoing management is required as the condition cannot be cured.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy revealed considerable abnormalities in hair morphology in MPS I, II, IIIA, and IIIB patients, potentially related to heparan sulfate accumulation.

This case series describes seven distinct hair shaft disorders, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis since these conditions are often treated incorrectly as alopecias without improvement.

This review covers complications of neck lift surgery, their causes, ways to reduce them, and management strategies, without offering new clinical findings.

This study found significant cephalometric changes in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion treated with rapid maxillary expansion and reverse traction, demonstrating maxilla advancement and improved facial convexity.

In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

In this case study, a 19-month-old infant with palmoplantar keratoderma and nail dystrophy was found to have a desmoplakin gene mutation, leading to cardiomyopathy by age 7, illustrating diagnostic challenges and the potential link between skin, dental, and cardiac anomalies.

This research review explores an algorithmic approach to scalp reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of considering defect location, size, and local scalp anatomy in optimizing cosmetic and functional surgical outcomes.

This report presents a unique case where a man developed Beau's lines on all fingers of one hand after a thumb injury, with the lines eventually disappearing as the nails grew.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of ectodermal dysplasia features in a 14-year-old with MBTPS1 gene variants, expanding the known spectrum of related disorders.

Different nail disorders are treated by targeting their specific causes and using appropriate medications or protective measures.

This review discusses recent improvements in frontalis suspension for congenital ptosis surgery, highlighting that autologous fascia lata is the preferred sling material due to its lower complication rate and enhanced long-term outcomes.

This study found that novel compound heterozygous mutations in the desmoplakin gene lead to hair shaft abnormalities and can result in lethal cardiomyopathy.

This study found that Msx2-deficient mice exhibit skull and bone formation defects similar to those seen in human MSX2-related conditions, highlighting the gene's importance in skeletal and organ development.

This article discusses reconstructive challenges following Mohs micrographic surgery on the forehead and reports no new clinical results, illustrating techniques applicable to this region.

This article reviews options and principles for reconstructing defects of the scalp, skull, orbit, and maxilla, but reports no new clinical results.

This study investigated the histopathology of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome, identifying specific skin and hair abnormalities associated with PKP1 gene mutations in two young female patients.
