This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.

This study demonstrated that liquid-state vesicles may reduce the absorption of finasteride through the skin while increasing its concentration and retention in the dermis layer in hamster models.

This article reviews adolescent sexual behavior and emphasizes the importance of hormonal contraception for sexually active teenagers, suggesting that health care providers play a crucial role in addressing their reproductive needs.

This study found that methyl nonanoate and methyl caprate significantly enhanced the skin penetration of minoxidil compared to solutions with other common enhancers like Azone, DMSO, or DEET.

In this study, formulations of a typical lotion shampoo with ethanol or propylene glycol increased the in-vitro release rate of zinc pyrithione, an anti-dandruff agent.

This chapter reviews the development of skin-specific outcome instruments for autoimmune diseases like cutaneous lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, highlighting a need for a broader community-involved process across other diseases but reports no new results.

This study found that in a mouse model of PCOS, high androgen levels caused pyroptosis in ovarian granulosa cells and increased ER stress in oocytes, reducing oocyte maturation rates, while treatment with CPA and DMF improved these rates.

This study reported that a novel vasodilator drug called TOP-M119, when delivered using a specially designed dissolving microneedle system, showed enhanced targeting of hair follicles and effectiveness in treating alopecia, demonstrated through in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies involving mouse skin.

This study found that a combination of 5% DMSO and BSA minimizes toxic effects on the cytogenetic stability of dermal papilla cells during cryopreservation.

Polyethylene alanine caused hair loss in young lab animals but not in adults, with hair regrowth occurring within 20 days.

This review discusses the skin conditions associated with endocrine diseases in children and adolescents, emphasizing their importance in early diagnosis and treatment, but presents no new clinical findings.

This study found that supplementing arsenic-fed Black Bengal kids with vitamin E, alone or combined with yeast culture, partially ameliorated growth and reduced arsenic load in faeces, urine, and hair.

This paper reviews the differential diagnoses and diagnostic tests to distinguish alopecia areata from other types of hair loss, without providing new clinical findings.

This review summarizes recent findings about the multi-site differentiation of tissue regulatory T cells, emphasizing the pivotal role of epigenetic remodeling, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that among women with PCOS, 23% exhibited impaired glucose tolerance and 9% had type 2 diabetes, with age, BMI, and SHBG being key predictors of these glucose abnormalities.

This study found that inherited color dilution in Rex rabbit hair follicles is associated with DNA methylation changes, contributing to understanding the epigenetic regulation of rabbit pigmentation.

This study observed that while all DMARD regimens had similar safety profiles, the leflunomide group experienced the most serious side effects leading to therapy discontinuation.

In this prospective observational study of 96 dermatomyositis patients, 47 showed scalp involvement, with significant symptoms like scalp inflammation, itching, and hair loss linked to myositis-specific antibodies. The study highlighted unique dermatopathological features in the scalp and emphasized the considerable morbidity caused by scalp dermatomyositis.

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 study found that adolescents with androgenetic alopecia showed distinct hormonal profiles between boys and girls, with concurrent metabolic dysfunction present in both sexes, highlighting the need for sex-specific diagnosis and management approaches.

This study found that specific skin lesions are common indicators of pediatric rheumatologic diseases, potentially aiding dermatologists and rheumatologists in diagnosis when biopsies are challenging.

This study suggests that for dermatomyositis patients with minimal skin disease activity, further improvement in cutaneous symptoms may not translate into better quality of life, highlighting a need to revise trial endpoints.
