This report describes a rare case of hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a 3-year-old girl, where treatment with topical minoxidil resulted in minimal improvement after 12 months.

The document concludes that treatments like oral anti-androgens, minoxidil, and topical spironolactone can be effective for hair loss in men and women.

In this study, dermatological changes were highly prevalent among postmenopausal women, with xerosis, pigmentary changes, and hair thinning being the most common findings, suggesting such changes are often overlooked in clinical practice.

This study found that polycystic ovary syndrome was the most common cause of hirsutism among premenopausal Algerian women, affecting nearly 60% of participants.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.

This review discusses the influence of menopausal status on hair parameters in women without alopecia, finding significant differences in hair growth rate, percentage anagen, and hair diameter distributions, particularly in the frontal scalp.

This review summarizes physiologic skin changes during pregnancy and specific pregnancy-related dermatoses but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that doxorubicin induces hair follicle apoptosis through TRAIL receptor signaling, providing insights for managing chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy can identify four specific hair morphology patterns in alopecia areata patients, offering a less invasive diagnostic option compared to punch biopsy.

This study reviews drug-induced hair changes, noting that hair loss often reverses after stopping the drug, but permanent alopecia cases post-chemotherapy are rising.

The document concludes that an inherited nail condition often improves on its own, and spironolactone effectively treats acne in women.

This study found that pediatric HSCT recipients, especially those with chronic graft-versus-host disease, are at risk for developing various nonmalignant late cutaneous changes such as vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia, and nail changes.

This study found that among patients with twenty-nail dystrophy, those treated with oral cyclosporine in combination with a dietary supplement showed significantly better improvement in nail condition and quality of life than those treated with the supplement alone.

This study found that an imbalance of selenium in a C57BL/6 mouse model led to hair loss with color change and was linked with changes in hair follicle apoptosis markers.

This study suggests that diffuse alopecia areata initially involves an intense inflammatory attack during the anagen phase, progressing through different hair cycle stages with specific shedding patterns.

This study defines two types of RDEB wounds, chronic open and recurrent, and finds that patient self-reports on wound size correlate well with investigator measurements when complemented by serial photography.

In this study, researchers used a CRISPR-based method to correct mutations in the COL7A1 gene in stem cells from RDEB patients, restoring normal collagen expression in engineered skin grafts in mice.

This study found significant associations between pruritus and elevated parathormone levels, and xerosis and elevated serum creatinine levels, in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing haemodialysis.

A girl with red hair developed hair-pulling and body image disorders after being bullied for her hair color.

This case report highlights that scarring alopecia with features of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and lichen planopilaris can occur in patients with a COL7A1 mutation, emphasizing the need to recognize concurrent inflammatory causes.

This case report outlines a 10-year-old boy who experienced a six-year history of twenty-nail dystrophy, highlighting the importance of physical examination for early diagnosis and management of nail disorders, with his primary symptoms involving nail disfigurement and alopecia areata, but no other health issues.

This article reviews the role of androgen in male pattern hair loss and its impact on hair follicle miniaturization, but it does not present new research findings.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1 had higher numbers of nevi, dysplastic nevi, melanomas, and pilomatrixomas compared to age- and sex-matched controls.

In this thesis, researchers explored ways to enhance the management of myotonic dystrophy type 1 by investigating the genetic inheritance patterns, especially small-sized repeat expansions, and assessing cardiac care, energy expenditure, and body composition in affected individuals.

This article discusses various hair and nail abnormalities linked to paraneoplastic conditions and cancer treatments, emphasizing their potential role in diagnosing and managing internal malignancies and reports no new clinical findings.

This study demonstrated that AIRE-deficient rats exhibit key symptoms of APECED, making them a relevant model for exploring potential treatments.

This study found a marked decrease in dermatology outpatient visits during the initial two months of COVID-19, with shifts in diagnosis frequencies for conditions like generalized pruritus and alopecia areata.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 often exhibit skin abnormalities, which correlate with genotype severity and serum vitamin D levels, and suggest premature aging.

This chapter reviews the role of self in disorders related to the OCD spectrum, such as hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and trichotillomania, and reports no new findings.

In a case report, this study identified a new genetic variant in a six-year-old girl from Saudi Arabia with hypotrichosis and juvenile macular dystrophy, expanding the understanding of the genetic spectrum of this rare condition in the region.
