This review discusses the impact of weight gain and obesity on the development of polycystic ovary syndrome and explores lifestyle strategies to manage the condition, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that human skin expresses proenkephalin, whose expression is upregulated by environmental stress and varies in pathological conditions, increasing in psoriasis and decreasing in melanocytic tumors.

This review discusses the cutaneous manifestations associated with HIV infection, highlighting that these skin conditions often present atypically and are more severe compared to those in non-HIV-infected individuals; it reports no new clinical findings.

This consensus concluded that oral isotretinoin is highly effective for treating acne and some off-label conditions, with common adverse events being manageable and rare serious risks not contraindicating use.

This study found that administering spermidine to aged mice for six months significantly reduced various age-related conditions, including brain, heart, kidney, liver issues, and hair loss, possibly due to decreased telomere attrition.

This review discusses the ethnobotanical uses and phytochemistry of Plumbago zeylanica L., highlighting its potential pharmacological benefits for conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review provides an in-depth analysis of the structure and function of c-kit activation, and its role in both normal physiological and pathological conditions, with no new research findings reported.

This article discusses adverse immune-mediated skin reactions associated with TNF-alpha inhibitors, highlighting paradoxical reactions such as psoriasis that occur despite being treated with medications intended to alleviate the condition.

This review describes nail changes linked to various non-infectious skin diseases, highlighting how these alterations can help diagnose and manage conditions like psoriasis and lupus by noting specific and overlapping nail characteristics.
