This study identified that certain diseases, including AIDS and systemic lupus erythematosus, may cause African hair to change to a silky, wavy texture similar to neonatal hair in affected patients.

This case report from Tishreen Hospital describes the rare presentation of lupus erythematosus tumidus and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction as initial manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

In this case report, an 8-year-old boy's crusted scalp lesions and alopecia initially mimicking kerion were ultimately diagnosed as Pre-B acute lymphocytic leukemia after histopathological evaluation revealed leukemia cutis.

This study observed that systemic lupus erythematosus may not be as uncommon among African Blacks as previously reported, highlighting the need for early aggressive treatment.

The study found that systemic inflammatory markers were elevated in patients with severe alopecia areata compared to those with mild disease and healthy controls, and these markers decreased in patients who improved after JAK inhibitor therapy.

This study observed that PD-1+CXCR5-CD4+T peripheral helper cells are significantly elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and are correlated with disease activity indicators, suggesting their potential role in lupus pathogenesis.

This case report describes a 17-year-old female patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, presenting with arthralgia, hair loss, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The diagnosis was supported by elevated ESR and positive autoantibodies, and treatment included hydroxychloroquine and prednisone.

This study analyzed clinical manifestations of dermatomyositis in 18 patients, reporting common symptoms such as skin rash, proximal muscle weakness, and elevated serum markers, with treatment typically involving prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine.

In this study, DOP treatment improved hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia by altering local steroid metabolism and follicular morphology.

This case report highlights the importance of suspecting underlying malignancy, such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, in patients with diffuse hair loss and other cutaneous symptoms.

This case report presents a rare instance of coexistent tumid lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus in a patient, with symptom improvement noted after hydroxychloroquine treatment.

This study in North India found that patients with alopecia areata have significantly higher levels of coagulation markers, metabolic dysregulation, and systemic inflammation compared to healthy controls, and these factors are linked with disease severity, indicating potential systemic implications beyond localized hair loss.

In this study, early-onset androgenetic alopecia in men was associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and carotid atherosclerosis compared to controls, suggesting cardiovascular screening might be beneficial for this group.

In this case report, the authors identified giant cell arteritis as the underlying cause of bitemporal hair loss and scalp tenderness in a 70-year-old woman, initially misdiagnosed as age-related symptoms.

This study analyzed clinical manifestations in 18 dermatomyositis patients, noting that all exhibited skin rash and variable symptoms like itching and muscle weakness, with treatment involving prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine.

This study found that Baricitinib effectively reduced alopecia severity in adults with severe alopecia areata during a 12-month observation period, especially when initiated in patients with milder baseline conditions and elevated ESR; no serious adverse events were reported.

This study found that among COVID-19 patients, a higher presence of the G allele in the IFITM3 rs12252 polymorphism correlates with increased inflammatory markers and disease severity, noting higher ESR, CRP, Fibrinogen, LDH, and D-dimer levels in severe cases compared to mild ones.

This review discusses the various skin manifestations associated with end-stage renal disease and their potential causes but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize pruritus as a significant condition.

This study found that in patients with severe alopecia areata, those who responded early to baricitinib treatment typically had a lower baseline Severity of Alopecia Tool score, shorter disease duration, and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate, suggesting these factors may predict therapeutic success.

This case report documents a 44-year-old female with Down's syndrome who was diagnosed with both rheumatoid arthritis and gouty arthritis, highlighting her specific clinical presentation and treatment regimen.

This study found no significant association between selected gene variants and female pattern hair loss, suggesting these genes might not be involved in its development.

This study found that adolescents carrying the HLA-B27 antigen who engaged in intense physical activity were more likely to develop ankylosing spondylitis, although not all predisposed individuals were affected, indicating other genetic and environmental factors might also play a role.

This review discusses the unique challenges faced by transgender patients with end-stage renal disease during the transplant process and outlines current management recommendations, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that both oxidant and antioxidant levels were elevated in acne patients, suggesting that oxidative stress may be linked to acne pathogenesis but its causal role remains unclear.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia is associated with insulin resistance, elevated adipokines levels, and dyslipidemia in males, while female patients generally maintained a normal hormonal profile.

In this study, 13-cis-5S*,8S*-epidioxy-5,8-dihydroretinoic acid was found to be significantly more cytotoxic to cancer cell lines than other retinoic acid analogs evaluated.

The document concludes that using gadolinium-based contrast agents during MRI can be linked to Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis in patients with severe kidney disease.

This review discusses recent genetic findings on hormonal signaling pathways in androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new study results but highlighting the need for further investigation.

In this randomized trial, lupus patients taking daily 200 μg selenium supplements for eight weeks showed significant improvements in metabolic markers like CRP, ESR, MDA, and GPX, as well as reduced clinical symptoms such as arthritis and alopecia, compared to those receiving a placebo.

This study found that ESR1 gene polymorphisms may be linked to hormonal imbalances in young women with hyperandrogenism, potentially affecting bone mineral density indirectly.
