This study found that deleting β-catenin in epidermis-specific VDR knockout mice did not prevent UVB-induced skin tumors, indicating β-catenin does not compensate for VDR's role in tumor suppression.

Finasteride linked to skin inflammation.

This case report describes a patient in whom vitiligo was induced by diphenylcyclopropenone treatment for alopecia universalis, highlighting the potential overlap of susceptibility genes between the two conditions.

This case report describes a patient who developed dissecting cellulitis of the scalp after follicular unit extraction, showing significant improvement with isotretinoin, dutasteride, and steroids.

This report describes the first known case of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption occurring after a follicular unit extraction procedure, possibly linked to surgical trauma and post-surgical steroid use.

This study examined a case of vascular complication following the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers in lateral temporal lifting, resulting in livedo reticularis, alopecia, and painful injection area requiring three months of treatment.

This article discusses the potential of trichoscopy in diagnosing and treating dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and emphasizes the need for early diagnosis to prevent progression but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the issue of hair-thread tourniquets in infants, emphasizing the importance of awareness for timely diagnosis and suggesting prevention strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

This review explores the potential of extracellular vesicle therapy as a novel strategy to delay intervertebral disc degeneration and enhance tissue repair, by modulating key pathogenic mechanisms, with a focus on the molecular components and bioengineering modifications of extracellular vesicles.

This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

This clinical letter identifies Rothmund-Thomson syndrome type 2 as a rare cause of chronic wounds, but provides no new experimental findings.

This study indicates that DH-AVAs, when used alongside AVAs, may serve as effective biomarkers for assessing whole grain oat intake due to their longer absorption and presence in plasma.

In this article, two case studies of hair tourniquets around digits are discussed, highlighting the condition's potential causes and management strategies, and emphasizing the role of midwives and health visitors in educating expectant mothers to minimize the risk to children.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

Tiger tail banding and hair abnormalities are reliable indicators for diagnosing trichothiodystrophy.

This study found that real-time 2-D Doppler echo of intracardiac blood flow helps evaluate myocardial infarction severity, with persistent late systolic inflow indicating worse left ventricular function.

This study found that lower expression of VDR protein in breast cancer patients is associated with increased bone metastasis and poorer prognosis, making it a significant prognostic factor.

This article reviews cultural differences in the incidence of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome and finds it may be less prevalent in Iranian children compared to Europe, possibly due to social and cultural factors.

In this study, researchers found that hepatitis C virus infection is a significant risk factor for sporadic porphyria cutanea tarda, suggesting familial cases might be more prevalent in areas with low hepatitis C infection rates.

This study found that the vitamin D-VDR system is crucial for mineral and bone metabolism post-weaning and identified missense mutations in 1alpha-hydroxylase causing type I rickets.

This study found that dutasteride affected spinal bone formation in curdlan-treated SKG mice, while DHT treatment reduced osteoblast differentiation in vitro, suggesting that DHT inhibition might unexpectedly increase spinal ankylosis progression in ankylosing spondylitis patients.

This article discusses a journal-based CME activity on rare viral skin eruptions in pediatric transplant patients and reports no new clinical results; it aims to improve physicians' knowledge and treatment of this condition.

This case report observed that while a 4-year-old boy with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II showed biochemical and bone improvement after vitamin D and calcium treatment, his alopecia did not improve.

This article discusses two cases of follicular dyskeratosis (Darier-White disease), highlighting its rare occurrence, genetic basis, and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment; it presents no new experimental results.

This study examined 144 patients with COVID-19 in Guatemala and found a significant link between skin manifestations, especially those with vasculonecrotic damage, and a higher likelihood of severe to critical illness.

This case report highlights a rare association between congenital triangular alopecia and vitiligo, noting that treatment with tofacitinib improved the patient's vitiligo but not the alopecia.

This report found follicular red dots in patients with scalp pigmentary disorders, suggesting they might be linked to the scalp's vascular structure and may have implications for conditions like discoid lupus erythematosus.

This study found that male patients with androgenetic alopecia were associated with an increased risk of varicose veins, but not other major vascular diseases.

In this study, the authors concluded that post-dengue telogen effluvium is a common but underdiagnosed condition causing temporary hair loss, primarily affecting young women, with significant emotional impacts such as anxiety and decreased self-esteem.

This review discusses biotinidase deficiency, noting that biotin treatment from birth can prevent symptoms, but acknowledges the complexity and need for further understanding due to late-onset cases with varied clinical findings.
