This study observed that including cationic minoxidil particles in a shampoo facilitated notable hair growth promotion despite a negative surface charge after rinsing, likely due to ionic interactions with the skin.

This case report highlights the challenges in diagnosing simple-virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia, emphasizing the importance of early expert evaluation to prevent irreversible changes such as virilization.

This case report describes a patient who developed drug-induced lupus erythematosus after treatment with a monoclonal antibody combination against the SARS-CoV-2 surface protein, highlighting the need for careful follow-up.

This case report highlights a rare instance of costovertebral arthritis secondary to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of detailed clinical evaluation and imaging for accurate diagnosis and management of chronic back and chest pain.

This case report describes a woman in her 30s diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, characterized by alopecia, arthritis, photosensitivity, and skin rashes, confirmed through positive serology.

This case study describes a 4-year-old boy with juvenile dermatomyositis whose severe subcutaneous edema resisted conventional treatment, necessitating aggressive immunosuppression for disease control.

This case report describes a female SLE patient with CNS involvement who developed an acute West Nile virus infection, highlighting the diagnostic challenges in differentiating infection from a disease flare in immunosuppressed individuals.

In this study of male patients with 46,XY 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, DHT therapy was effective in achieving penile enlargement during infancy, while testosterone replacement therapy proved more beneficial during puberty, possibly due to increased conversion to DHT.

This case study reports a 15-year-old girl from a visceral leishmaniasis-endemic area in Greece presenting with various symptoms, including high fever, morning joint pain, and blood in urine, eventually leading to findings like rash, anemia, and kidney issues. Results are not detailed in this abstract.

In this case report, a 40-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus developed calcinosis cutis, a rare complication characterized by calcified deposits in her legs, requiring surgical intervention and ongoing medical treatment due to infection.

This case report highlights the diagnostic challenge of ANA-negative pediatric SLE in South Asia, emphasizing the need for comprehensive diagnostic criteria and clinical vigilance for early recognition and treatment.

This study found that among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, the absence of skin rash and low levels of complement C3 were significant risk factors for developing lupus nephritis, with their combination demonstrating good predictive diagnostic value.

In this report, a patient with vitiligo and systemic lupus erythematosus achieved complete skin repigmentation after 30 days of treatment with the oral JAK inhibitor tofacitinib, with no adverse reactions, suggesting its efficacy and safety as a potential treatment for vitiligo with coexisting autoimmune conditions.

In this case study, a 36-year-old female with severe lupus enteritis and intestinal pseudo-obstruction showed significant clinical improvement after treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, and cyclophosphamide, highlighting the complexities and challenges in diagnosing and managing atypical lupus manifestations.

In this study involving 30 Kazakh women with systemic lupus erythematosus, the researchers found a strong correlation between disease activity (SELENA-SLEDAI scores) and organ damage (SLICC/ACR scores), which depended on disease duration and reliably reflected cumulative disease activity.

In this case report, a 19-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus experienced significant improvement in neuropsychiatric symptoms, including psychosis and seizures, following treatment with high-dose corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and antidepressants.

This case report highlights that Tjalma Syndrome may present as a main symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus and should be considered in patients with ascites, pleural effusions, and elevated CA-125 levels.

This study used integrated single-cell chromatin and transcriptomic analyses in developing mouse skin to uncover gene networks involved in skin lineage specification and identified Mef2c+ upper fibroblasts as potential precursors to certain muscle-like structures, with cross-species findings in human skin.

This study suggests that hair follicle dermal stem/progenitor cells play a key role in both hair regeneration and skin wound healing, with potential implications for preventing hair follicle miniaturization linked to aging or alopecia.
