Lack of small, fine hair on the front hairline is a key sign of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This study found that combining dermoscopy with reflectance confocal microscopy is more sensitive and specific than using either method alone for assessing vitiligo disease activity and treatment response. Additionally, specific characteristics observed via these techniques correlated with either good or poor treatment outcomes.

In this case report, a patient with a history of discoid lupus erythematosus experienced an exacerbation of the condition after topical immunotherapy for alopecia areata, suggesting contact dermatitis as a potential trigger.

This abstract highlights that preliminary results from the REDUCE trial indicate dutasteride may lower prostate cancer incidence by 23% in older men compared to a placebo.

Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing and monitoring discoid lupus erythematosus by showing specific skin patterns.

This minireview discusses a proposed model of the vitamin D receptor that explains how 1alpha,25(OH)2D3 can mediate both genomic and rapid responses through different ligand shapes and cellular locations, without presenting new research findings.

Vascular patterns in dermoscopy help tell apart malignant and benign skin tumors.

This research found that the new combination drug Predstanormix Duo, with dutasteride and tamsulosin, is bioequivalent to established treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia, showing similar pharmacokinetics and safety, potentially improving treatment availability and adherence in high-risk patients.

The study found that different criteria led to different patient groups in the CombAT study compared to the MTOPS study.

This study found that in Vdr-knockout mice, hair follicles fail to complete the catagen stage, leading to persistent epithelial strands and subsequent hair loss.

This study identified a novel I268T mutation in the vitamin D receptor that reduces its function, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, and found that a potent vitamin D analog could improve receptor function.

This review found that the DLQI is widely used as a benchmark in the development and validation of dermatology quality-of-life measures.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This chapter hypothesizes that vitamin D signaling in the skin may suppress UV radiation-induced epidermal tumor formation, reviewing potential mechanisms without reporting new clinical results.

This study observed that vitamin D receptor expression in certain hair follicle cells varies throughout the murine hair cycle, suggesting a potential role for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in hair follicle biology.

This review found no evidence that DHEA improves quality of life or decreases menopausal symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women, but it may slightly enhance sexual function compared to placebo.

This review summarizes existing validation research on the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), highlighting its reliability and responsiveness while identifying the need for further validation regarding racial and ethnic inclusivity.

This article reviews the influence of vitamin D on various dermatological diseases and suggests that vitamin D supplementation might aid in maintaining skin cell homeostasis; it reports no new clinical results.

This study observed wide clinical diversity among five patients with the same VDR gene mutation causing vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, suggesting involvement of a nuclear accessory factor and a nongenomic action of the vitamin.

This study found that the peptides RMYYY and VMYMI displayed stronger binding energy and more frequent interactions with HPGDS compared to the native inhibitor, suggesting potential as future therapeutic drugs.

Pediatric patients with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa face more hospital admissions, procedures, and complications than others.

This study examined the safety and efficacy of dupilumab in adolescents with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, finding that it was well tolerated and significantly improved symptoms over 52 weeks, with its safety profile similar to that in adults.

This source suggests that the metaverse could play a crucial role in dermatology by offering new ways to manage chronic skin conditions and improve patient support and education, especially for those hesitant to seek in-person consultations.

Avoiding dyed wigs and clothing improved severe allergic reactions in a woman treated with diphencyprone.

In this retrospective case series, therapeutic responses to immunomodulatory and incretin-based therapies for Dercum's disease showed considerable individual variation, suggesting these treatments might be exploratory options when surgery isn't feasible, though further controlled studies are needed for definitive conclusions.

This study suggests that lower serum and tissue vitamin D receptor levels in alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia patients may play a role in the pathogenesis of these hair diseases.

This study found that dexamethasone treatment inhibited the inflammatory response and the induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity in mouse skin after TPA application, although the effect on ODC was weaker during the hyperplastic stage.

Most clinicians follow discharge guidelines, many lupus patients don't use sunscreen regularly, dithranol is effective for psoriasis, biopsy methods should be based on lesion type, voriconazole may raise skin cancer risk, a new scale can help diagnose female hair loss early, and most melanomas may develop from existing moles.

This overview describes the Dermatologic Surgery journal's comprehensive coverage of dermatologic surgery, including cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, but it presents no new research findings.
