This case study reports the first known instance of adult Kawasaki's disease presenting with highly elevated serum ferritin levels and splenomegaly, emphasizing its consideration in differential diagnoses for adults with persistent rash, fever, and specific clinical features.

This study identified distinct gene expression programs in keratinocytes responsible for forming hard scales and soft interscale epidermis in chickens, revealing conserved differentiation genes similar to those in human skin.

This study found low serum ferritin and vitamin B12 levels in a significant portion of women with chronic telogen effluvium, while vitamin D deficiency was less common.

This study concluded that patients with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of serum ferritin and lactoferrin compared to controls, suggesting potential benefits of supplementation.

This research highlights the common and varied skin-related symptoms associated with chronic kidney disease, emphasizing that early recognition and multi-pronged management involving nephrology and dermatology can improve patient outcomes.

This retrospective cross-section study found that in a cohort of Pica patients in Iraq, 92.4% were female, and many had low levels of ferritin, hemoglobin, and vitamin D, which may contribute to the disorder by causing psychological issues.

This study found that fish oil supplementation in male Wistar albino rats helped maintain hair shaft structure and improved amino acid composition, while reducing harmful protein compounds associated with diabetes and hypercholesterolemia.

This review discusses the role of epidermal and other adult stem cells in skin repair, focusing on their potential therapeutic applications for non-healing wounds and other skin disorders, but reports no new research results.

This review discusses the role of keratins in maintaining epidermal structure and function and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the lack of rational therapies for skin disorders linked to keratin mutations.

This review discusses telogen effluvium, a common form of hair loss, and reports no new clinical results; the authors outline possible causes, typical prognosis, and management strategies.

This study observed that specific trichoscopic features like white peripilar signs, scalp pigmentation, and focal atrichia are associated with advanced female pattern hair loss in Fitzpatrick skin type III patients.

This study found a higher frequency of below normal ferritin and serum iron levels in women with melasma compared to controls, suggesting a possible association with melasma.

This study found that iron deficiency anemia is a key factor in the development of telogen effluvium, and higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels in TE patients may be linked to increased UV exposure.

In this study, pediatric alopecia areata was associated with higher rates of vitiligo, asthma, and ADHD, and significantly lower levels of vitamin B12, ferritin, and TSH compared to healthy controls, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation.

This study investigates differences in nutritional status, vitamin, and mineral levels between individuals with telogen effluvium and a control group, aiming to understand the nutritional factors involved in this condition.

This review discusses the role of various hormones in diffuse hair loss and emphasizes the need for further research to clarify their complex interactions and potential therapeutic implications, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hair abnormalities in various epidermolysis bullosa subtypes and reports no new clinical findings.

This report highlights a case where a woman's use of the dopamine agonist pramipexole for Parkinson's disease was associated with hair loss, which improved after discontinuing the drug.

This review highlights that iron deficiency is a significant yet often overlooked contributor to the development of immune-mediated inflammatory skin diseases, suggesting that iron dysregulation may drive inflammation and metabolic imbalances in conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

This study reviews iron metabolism in the skin, highlighting how differentially expressed genes regulate iron recycling in the epidermis, and discusses changes in iron metabolism related to skin diseases.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections significantly increased hair count and density in patients with male pattern hair loss without major side effects, suggesting it may be a safe and effective treatment option.

In this study, Rosa rugosa water extract improved hair length and thickness in a mouse model of DHT-induced alopecia by enhancing the expression of hair growth-promoting factors while inhibiting growth-suppressive proteins, suggesting its potential as a natural therapy for hair loss prevention.

Using a transgenic pig model, this study demonstrated that LGR5 is a marker of hair follicle stem cells across different species, with important similarities and differences in gene expression and developmental processes.

This study found that testosterone-enanthate increased red blood cell production and altered iron homeostasis in older hypogonadal men without being affected by finasteride, indicating these effects do not require type II 5α-reductase enzyme activity.

This study found no statistical difference in thiol-disulfide balance between telogen effluvium patients and controls, suggesting oxidative stress may not affect telogen effluvium through this mechanism.

This study observed that male patients with alopecia areata had elevated serum levels of HSP70 and IL-15, with levels increasing alongside disease severity, suggesting these markers are strongly associated with the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found that while calcium can substitute for the Vitamin D receptor in maintaining epidermal keratinocyte differentiation, it cannot compensate for hair follicle dysfunction caused by the absence of the receptor.

This article describes petechiae on the fingertips as a presenting symptom of dermatitis herpetiformis but reports no new clinical results.

This case study details the successful treatment of macrophage activation syndrome with dexamethasone and cyclosporine in a 36-year-old woman with adult-onset Still's disease, highlighting the critical importance of timely aggressive treatment.

Hair follicle stem cells have significant potential for treating various disorders.
