This report describes a rare case of a non-small-cell lung cancer patient experiencing hair changes after prolonged gefitinib treatment, potentially linked to EGFR inhibition, with limited understanding of its cause.

This review discusses the significance of elastic tissue staining in dermatopathology, particularly for diagnosing primary elastic tissue disorders and other skin conditions, but reports no new clinical results.

This case study describes a 9-year-old girl with a homozygous EGFR gene mutation, presenting with tubulopathy and chronic dermatitis, whose ongoing symptoms and management offer insights into this rare genetic condition.

This study found that feminizing hormone therapy increased GFR in transgender individuals assigned male at birth, suggesting an effect of sex hormones on kidney hemodynamics, while masculinizing therapy showed a slight, nonsignificant decrease in GFR.

This study mapped the safety profile of EGFR-TKIs by analyzing FDA adverse event reports, highlighting unexpected reactions like intestinal obstruction and hypokalaemia with gefitinib and erlotinib.

This study observed that moderate to severe atopic dermatitis patients showed a higher prevalence of keratoconus compared to the general population, with 6.7% having manifest KC and 20% subclinical KC, highlighting the need for increased awareness among dermatologists.

In this study, epidermal EGFR ablation in a mouse model led to significant local and systemic inflammatory responses, highlighting EGFR's role in maintaining skin immuno-homeostasis.

This study found that patients with decreased kidney function had significantly higher hair levels of ethyl glucuronide compared to healthy individuals, suggesting these results should be cautiously interpreted.

This study reported that patients with decreased kidney function had significantly higher levels of ethyl glucuronide in hair compared to healthy volunteers, suggesting caution when using hair EtG levels to assess driving qualifications.

In this study, xerosis and pruritus were common skin issues in pediatric chronic kidney disease patients, with xerosis linked to lower hemodialysis efficacy and higher white blood cells, and pruritis associated with higher hemoglobin levels.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

This study demonstrated that the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose enhances antiseizure effects by potentiating extrasynaptic tonic GABAergic inhibition through neurosteroidogenesis in hippocampal slices.

In this study, researchers found that men with androgenetic alopecia had higher obesity-related parameters, such as fat percentage and BMI, compared to healthy controls, but observed no differences in cardiovascular markers like CIMT and EFT.

This study found that seasonal changes significantly affected hair follicle activity and fibre growth in Merghoz goats, with variations seen in feed intake and growth patterns across different seasons.

This case report describes a 36-year-old female patient with panhypopituitarism, experiencing severe adrenal insufficiency and thyroid hormone deficiency, which led to electrolyte imbalance, QT interval prolongation, and ventricular tachycardia; treatment stabilized her condition, underscoring the importance of hormonal evaluation in arrhythmia assessment.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had a lower heart rate compared to healthy controls and showed disease-severity-related changes in body composition, though the clinical importance of these findings is still unclear.

This case report describes ALP elevation in a patient with severe OA that normalized after bilateral knee replacements, highlighting a potential link between OA and ALP levels.

This study suggests that progesterone may have a complex role in absence epilepsy, facilitating seizures through conversion to allopregnanolone, but potentially reducing them during pregnancy.

This study found that signs of potential adverse events varied based on demographic and health factors in a large cohort, suggesting the need for more inclusive evaluations to better understand these differences at a population level.

This study found that androgen deprivation therapy is associated with an increased risk of acquired long-QT syndrome and Torsades de Pointes, particularly highlighting enzalutamide's greater association with sudden death compared to other therapies.

This study investigates the potential link between atrial fibrillation and circulating aldosterone levels related to cardiac fibrosis in patients with hypertension.

This study found that serum bone metabolic markers with mild changes are interdependently related to traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in patients with chronic kidney disease-related bone disorders.

This study found that epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors can induce erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, typically appearing sooner and affecting the scalp more extensively compared to other triggers.

Minoxidil can cause allergic reactions like burning, itching, and red bumps.

In this study with stumptailed macaques, topical minoxidil successfully induced hair regrowth on bald scalps and prevented baldness on non-bald scalps, with no observed side effects over nearly three years.

This study found that 2% minoxidil led to moderate to dense hair growth in 80% of Middle-Eastern men treated for 48 weeks with early androgenic alopecia.

Surgery on a baby with a skin disorder improved eyelid position and eye health.

A woman's nail separation was likely caused by poor blood flow, and a treatment for similar conditions might help.
