This case report describes the first known instance of alopecia associated with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis, evidenced by scalp biopsy findings of histiocyte infiltration in a 52-year-old woman.

In this case report, a 25-year-old transgender woman on testosterone-blocking therapy developed generalised hypertrichosis after starting ciclosporin for severe plaque psoriasis, illustrating that ciclosporin can induce this side effect even under androgen suppression.

In this review, the authors evaluated the potential of using the second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) as a predictor for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting future research directions but not reporting definitive results.

In this case study, a 12-year-old boy with isolated nail lichen planus showed significant improvement after receiving intramuscular triamcinolone acetonide and topical tacrolimus treatment, although his great toenails were less responsive.

This article reviews cultural differences in the incidence of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome and finds it may be less prevalent in Iranian children compared to Europe, possibly due to social and cultural factors.

This study found that among vitiligo patients in south-southern Nigeria, there were significant correlations between digit lengths and digit ratio, but further research is needed due to the small sample size.

This case report describes a novel mutation in the CDH3 gene in an 11-year-old Iranian boy with sparse scalp hair and macular dystrophy, leading to altered P-cadherin synthesis.

This case report describes a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease and renal amyloidosis, presenting symptoms like joint pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This review highlights the potential benefits of spironolactone in dermatology, particularly for female acne, supporting its safety over long-term use without extensive testing, but presents no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews trichoscopic-pathologic correlations in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and reports no new clinical results; the authors discuss genetics, clinical patterns, and unusual variants associated with this condition.

This study used air wedge interferometry to measure the thickness of human scalp hair from three individuals, finding average thicknesses of 66.482 µm, 59.355 µm, and 59.927 µm respectively, within the typical range for adults.

This article discusses topics presented at the Canadian Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery 41st Annual Meeting and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, the authors describe a new technique using the Ventralex hernia patch for simultaneous umbilical hernia repair during abdominoplasty, observing its application in 11 female patients.

This article discusses key considerations for surgical hair restoration, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate candidates and the potential challenges surgeons face regarding donor and recipient hair areas, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers analyzed hair from different regions of Malvi cattle and found significant variations in color, shape, and band pattern, although the medullary index remained consistent between 0.50 and 0.60 across the samples.

This study found that examining the microscopic and ultramicroscopic structures of donkey and horse hair can help differentiate between the species based on distinct differences in hair cuticle and brain substance patterns.

In this study, stable types of leucoderma such as segmental vitiligo and piebaldism showed 100% repigmentation after melanocyte transplantation, suggesting surgery as the preferred method for these conditions.

This study observed that the intestinal absorption of selenium varies depending on its chemical form, with selenomethionine being absorbed efficiently and selenium as selenodiglutathione or selenodicysteine being absorbed faster than selenite.

This study suggests that short telomeres may produce similar aging-related symptoms across different segmental progeroid syndromes, offering potential insights into normative aging processes.

This article reviews key questions in skin biology, particularly the mechanisms of hair follicle patterning and the role of stem cells in the epidermis, reporting no new results.

This study described seven male patients and six female carriers of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans, highlighting distinct dermatological and ophthalmic markers including follicular hyperkeratosis and corneal dystrophy.

This study shows for the first time that onychomatricoma can recapitulate the entire nail unit with differentiation toward the nail bed and isthmus, identifying new histopathological and immunohistochemical features.

This study found that GLI2 plays a key role in activating follistatin, an activin/BMP antagonist, in response to hedgehog signaling in human epidermal cells, with implications for hair follicle development and basal cell carcinoma.

This case report and review discuss hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a 14-year-old autistic child, highlighting its rarity and the misconception of it being linked to abuse or socio-cultural practices.

This study re-examined the structure of lanceolate endings in rat vibrissae, suggesting that their apical cones may function as a transducer site for detecting hair movements.

This review discusses the traditional uses, pharmacology, clinical applications, and toxicology of Carthami flos but reports no new clinical results, aiming to inform further research on its medicinal potential.

The skin is essential for protection, temperature control, and immune defense.

Male infertility and genitourinary birth defects are often linked to genetic issues.

This article discusses various skin pattern formations, their molecular mechanisms, and highlights the need for further understanding to connect molecular biology with organism phenotypes, without providing new clinical findings.

This study found that using urine tenofovir monitoring for PrEP adherence is well-accepted and may help overcome adherence barriers among participants at a U.S. urban clinical center.
