This study found that Middle Eastern patients with epidermolysis bullosa show specific correlations between their genetic variants and clinical features, which may aid in diagnosis and genetic counseling.

This report details a case of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in a 37-year-old male with a recessive mutation in the CLO7A1 gene, affecting type VII collagen.

This index of Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology, Fourth Edition, provides no clinical results or new findings.

This case report describes a 56-year-old male with chronic watery diarrhea, hyperpigmentation, and alopecia, in whom colonoscopy revealed multiple polypoidal lesions from the distal transverse colon to the rectum.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical presentations of alopecia in epidermolysis bullosa patients, noting diverse hair abnormalities and emphasizing the lack of a consensus on its natural history.

This study found that adults with β-thalassemia major had a significantly higher prevalence of skin, hair, and nail disorders compared to healthy controls, influenced by factors like age, gender, and ferritin levels.

Corkscrew hair may be a new sign for quickly diagnosing scalp fungus in black children.

This review discusses the use of animal models to study alopecia areata and reports no new experimental results, emphasizing the potential for these models to explore the disease's genetics and treatment.

This study describes a case where a patient's rapid hair loss and specific hair root changes helped diagnose thallium poisoning.

A new mutation, Glu402Lys, in hair keratin is linked to variable symptoms of monilethrix.

This study observed that orange spots and dystrophic hairs on trichoscopy may aid in diagnosing scalp sarcoidosis.

In this study, trichoscopic examination found distinct hair characteristics for diagnosing eyebrow loss: alopecia areata is marked by features like exclamation mark hairs, while frontal fibrosing alopecia shows dystrophic hairs and distinctive regrowth patterns.

This study found that when human hair follicles were grafted onto mice, they progressed through dystrophic stages and returned to normal growth, with stem cells aiding in recovery.

This study suggests a new subtype of alopecia, termed 'acute diffuse and total alopecia of the female scalp' (ADTAFS), characterized by acute and total hair loss in women with a favorable recovery profile.

This article discusses hair loss linked to lithium treatment but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported that COVID-19 was causally associated with postinfectious hair shedding, which varied with disease severity, but hair completely recovered.

This study found two recurrent missense mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix in families from Russia and Colombia, supporting their role in this hair disorder worldwide.

In this study, both platelet-rich plasma and intralesional corticosteroids improved hair re-growth in alopecia areata patients, but the difference between treatments was not significant, with fewer relapses observed in the platelet-rich plasma group.

This study observed that human hair follicles with a completely destroyed bulb can regenerate after being grafted onto immunodeficient mice, entering a shortened dystrophic telogen followed by anagen phase.

This study found that calbindin-D9k knockout mice on a maternal vitamin D-deficient and low-calcium diet developed transient alopecia, but a high-vitamin D and calcium diet in mothers reduced this effect.

This case report highlights an interest in exploring the relationship between serum levels of sodium valproate and hair loss, though no case reports currently establish this link.

This study found that sulfur mustard affects hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin by causing cellular damage, inflammation, and disrupting wound healing processes in hairless mice.

This case study describes a 9-year-old boy with monilethrix and associated abnormalities, suggesting a new, severe autosomal recessive variant termed "monilethrix syndrome.

This study found that trichoscopy aided in assessing treatment responses for patchy alopecia areata, with both intralesional corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma showing effectiveness, but only PRP significantly improved patient symptom impact scores.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

This study on 8 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy found that both anagen and telogen effluvium may contribute to diffuse moderate alopecia within a month of treatment onset.

This case report suggests that lamotrigine treatment may be associated with hair loss as a rare side effect, based on the observation of hair regrowth after discontinuation of the drug in a single patient.

This article discusses dermatoscopy's role in identifying alopecia areata, highlighting that exclamation mark hairs are a strong indicator of the condition, but reports no new clinical data.

This review discusses the role of various stem cell niches in the skin and their potential application in treating skin diseases, but reports no new clinical results.

The author clarifies observations from their earlier article on psoriatic alopecia, including three types of hair loss associated with psoriasis, particularly noting hair loss within lesions due to dystrophic anagen follicles.
