In this case report, a 45-year-old Jordanian woman was diagnosed with Clouston syndrome, an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by alopecia and nail dystrophy due to a mutation in the GJB6 gene, though she lacked the typical palmoplantar keratoderma.

In this report, a preterm neonate was found to have total irreversible hair loss due to congenital atrichia, confirmed by a mutation in the human hairless gene on chromosome 8p22, illustrating this rare autosomal recessive disorder.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with VACTERL association and athymia who developed Omenn syndrome, highlighting the complex overlap of these conditions and the challenging clinical course due to profound T-cell immunodeficiency.

In this review, researchers highlighted the prevalence of hereditary hair diseases in the Japanese population, emphasizing the significant impact of LIPH gene variants on autosomal recessive woolly hair and the importance of continued research to better diagnose and manage these disorders.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

This review found that surgical treatments such as laparoscopic ovarian drilling and transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy may help induce ovulation in over 50% of PCOS patients who are resistant to drug therapy, with more than 40% achieving pregnancy, though miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy rates were noted.

This research suggests that hair keratins evolved from claw keratins in a hairless ancestor, with Hoxc13 controlling their expression in tetrapods, evidenced by the knockout of Hoxc13 hindering claw formation in Xenopus tropicalis frogs.

New gene discoveries have improved diagnosis and treatment for skin and hair disorders, but more research is needed to fully understand them.

This study found that keratin-associated proteins related to metallothionein and occludin appear in various animals, suggesting they may have roles beyond hair characteristics and were later adapted for hair production.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

This study found that the deletion of Med1 in dental epithelia causes a shift from dental to hair tissue development, suggesting the importance of Med1 in maintaining tissue-specific lineage.

This study identified that in pig embryos, the miR-29a-5p/EDAR/lncRNA627.1 ceRNA complex plays a critical role in inhibiting hair placode precursor cells proliferation and regulating hair placode formation through the suppression of EDAR expression, which may provide insights into similar mechanisms affecting human hair conditions.

This article reviews the clinical challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis due to its varying symptoms and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing the need for careful differential diagnosis.

This report describes a boy with ectodermal dysplasias who was genetically diagnosed due to newly discovered TSPEAR gene variants, which have now been associated with this condition.

This review discusses the unique characteristics and possible pathophysiology of spiny keratoderma, reporting no new clinical results, but suggests that some therapies might alleviate symptoms.

This report describes a 23-year-old male with Clouston’s syndrome, characterized by nail abnormalities, palmoplantar skin thickening, anodontia, and androgenic alopecia, highlighting the need for supportive management due to the lack of a definitive treatment.

This article describes the "naked" mouse mutation, which results in hair loss and is linked to chromosome 15, noting similarities and differences with human ectodermal dysplasia, but provides no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the complexities of diagnosing and managing PCOS in teens, focusing on its association with obesity and insulin resistance, but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the diagnosis and management of allergic dermatoses in dogs, focusing on clinical diagnosis, complementary tests, and various treatment strategies, but it reports no new results.

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

This report documents a case of Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome in a 56-year-old Laotian man, who successfully improved with vitamin supplementation and medical treatment after experiencing weight loss, alopecia, and gastrointestinal polyposis.

This study found that the desmosomal protein desmoplakin is crucial for proper epidermal morphogenesis and radial intercalation in developing Xenopus embryos, affecting keratin organization and ectodermal structures.

This case study reports a rare instance of ectopic ACTH secretion from a primary lung neuroendocrine tumor in a young woman, highlighting successful diagnosis and treatment following symptoms of Cushing syndrome, with normalization of ACTH, glucose, and cortisol levels post-surgery.

This study conducted at Madras Veterinary College found that tick infestation was the most frequent diagnosis among hospitalized dogs with dermatological issues, with ectoparasiticides prescribed in 73% of cases.

This review explores the association between sleep disturbances, obstructive sleep apnoea, and metabolic consequences like Type 2 diabetes, but reports no new experimental results; the authors elaborate on existing knowledge and suggest complex interconnections with fat accumulation and various syndromes.

This chapter reviews types and causes of hair loss in children and suggests a diagnostic approach for identifying and treating this condition, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the genetic factors and single nucleotide polymorphisms related to androgenic alopecia, emphasizing androgen receptors, but reports no new clinical results.

This study discusses the effects of collagen hydrolysates and the dipeptide Pro-Hyp on gene expression related to hair and epidermis development in mouse skin and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, mixed lice infestations and their associated skin changes were observed in the Egyptian lesser blind mole rat, marking the first report of such findings in this species.

This review discusses recent genome-wide association studies identifying novel candidate genes for various forms of alopecia, providing insights into their pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.
