This study found that desmosomal adhesion plays a crucial role in epithelial morphogenesis and cell positioning, equivalent in importance to that of adherens junctions.

This study found that diabetic individuals had significantly lower hair levels of chromium, manganese, and copper, but higher iron levels, compared to non-diabetic controls.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

In this case report, a girl with tinea capitis experienced psychological disorders, but oral and topical treatment with griseovulfin led to both clinical and psychological improvement, as assessed by CDQLI and DMHC methods.

This study found that hair follicle transplantation improved wound healing in diabetic mice by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, with follicles from normoglycemic conditions proving more effective than those from hyperglycemic environments.

In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Degos disease and non-scarring alopecia experienced significant hair regrowth with the current treatment protocol, highlighting its potential effectiveness in such complex conditions.

This review discusses recent insights into Birt–Hogg–Dube syndrome, including the functions of the FLCN gene and clinical recommendations for screening and treatment, but it reports no new experimental results.

This case report describes a patient with HIV who experienced overlapping symptoms of primary and secondary syphilis and showed clinical and serological improvement after treatment with benzathine penicillin and antiretroviral drugs.

This study found that the DexIEME hydrogel promotes complete skin regeneration and scar attenuation in murine and porcine models, suggesting potential for treating deep dermal injuries.

This overview describes various disorders, including haphephobia, alopecia areata, and urinary incontinence, summarizing potential treatments and management strategies specific to each condition.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This Mendelian randomization study suggests a causal link between higher BMI and increased risk of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, potentially due to elevated biomarkers such as triglycerides and C-reactive protein.

This review discusses transdermal drug delivery using hydrogel-forming microneedles and highlights their potential for disease treatment, but notes challenges in their clinical application.

This case report presents a 14-year-old girl with both type I diabetes and monilethrix, detailing her symptoms and treatment with topical minoxidil, while exploring a possible genetic link between the conditions.

This review provides graded evidence and a therapeutic algorithm for managing hidradenitis suppurativa, but does not present new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the clinical and morphological diagnostic features of various hair dysplasias, including atypical pili torti, pseudomonilethrix, and trichothiodystrophy, and reports no new results.

This study reported that dermoscopy can aid in distinguishing secondary syphilis from other skin conditions by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, though there are no standardized criteria; further research is needed to confirm these findings.

In this study of 40 dermatomyositis patients, most with moderate-severe disease at baseline improved over time in a polyphasic pattern, while those with mild disease often remained stable.

This study found that bacterial biofilms were present in only two out of ten acute hidradenitis suppurativa lesions examined, suggesting a limited primary role for biofilms in early-stage lesions.
