In this case study, hypertrichosis in a patient with hemophilia and hepatitis C may have been induced by IFN-alpha treatment, despite the drug usually causing hair loss.

This study found that metabolic adaptations in skin epithelial stem cells, specifically redox ratio recovery and glycolytic flux modulation, define competitive outcomes between wild-type and mutant cells in different oncogenic environments.

This study found that direct interactions between human dermal papilla cells and melanocytes under low oxygen conditions improved cell functions and could be important for hair regeneration efforts.

This case report describes reversible hypopigmentation of hair in a child due to vitamin B12 deficiency, which improved after vitamin B12 supplementation.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

This report identifies a novel mutation in the ST14 gene in a female with autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis, highlighting similar features to previously reported cases.

This study reported that patients with PCOS and thyroid hormone disturbances had specific TPO gene mutations and differing thyroid hormone levels compared to those without disturbances or healthy controls.

This study found a significant association between iron deficiency anemia and telogen effluvium in women of childbearing age, with noticeable improvement in hair loss after four weeks of oral iron supplementation.

This study investigated the safety and efficacy of IV iron maltoside 1000 in treating iron-deficiency anemia among children with IBD and found a significant increase in hemoglobin levels by 6 weeks, maintained for up to a year, with minimal side effects reported.

This letter to the editor discusses an observed case of hair repigmentation linked with etretinate therapy but reports no new research findings.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of vitamin B12 deficiency in a 28-year-old man with reversible symptoms including localized hand hyperpigmentation and megaloblastic anemia, resolved after B12 supplementation.

This study found that distinct glycoconjugate expression patterns in human hair follicle cells suggest complex carbohydrate metabolism, revealing a unique sugar moiety in outer root sheath cells not present in other keratinocytes.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy in critical condition who developed anagen effluvium, possibly due to hypotension and hypoxia triggering hair follicle apoptosis.

The authors report two clinical cases of scarring alopecia in a mother and daughter, suggesting a potential link between frontal fibrosing alopecia and ulerythema ophryogenes.

This review discusses major dermatologic conditions occurring in the early post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant period and reports no new clinical results; it underscores dermatologists' role in recognizing critical complications.

This case report describes a 22-year-old woman with hirsutism and irregular menstrual bleeding, diagnosed with an ovarian steroid cell tumor (NOS), whose androgen levels normalized after surgery.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

This case study reports a peculiar variant of an epidermal cyst in a patient, featuring unique characteristics like brownish, lumpy contents resembling bone marrow.

This article reviews the genetic foundations of keratins in maintaining epithelial tissue integrity and links specific keratin variants to diverse ichthyosis forms, without presenting new clinical findings.

This case report describes novel trichoscopic features of anagen effluvium caused by azathioprine in a patient with normal TPMT levels, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring for adverse effects.

This case study highlights the importance of considering systemic lupus erythematosus in young patients presenting with atypical symptoms like periorbital erythema and pancytopenia, as early diagnosis and treatment can lead to remission.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

This article reports two cases of iron deficiency anemia in Russian adolescent girls, highlighting the role of low iron stores at birth in developing anemia during puberty.

This study confirms that many iron deficiency symptoms occur in non-anemic women, with transferrin saturation showing a strong correlation with symptom diversity, suggesting its potential as an early diagnostic biomarker.

This report describes a patient with biotinidase deficiency presenting bilateral optic atrophy, and confirms autosomal recessive inheritance through enzyme dosage analysis in the patient and family members.

This study in a Pakistani family identified a novel ST14 gene variant as the likely genetic cause of autosomal recessive ichthyosis with hypotrichosis syndrome.

In this case report, a 14-year-old boy with Satoyoshi syndrome did not improve with intravenous immunoglobulin but responded dramatically to steroid treatment.
