This report details a rare case of favus in Japan, identifying Trichophyton schoenleinii in a 63-year-old woman through DNA sequencing, who was successfully treated with oral terbinafine and topical luliconazole.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

This article reviews the role of factor Xa inhibitors like Rivaroxaban and suggests they may eventually replace vitamin K antagonists, but their side effects require further clarification.

A medication may help with hair growth in psoriasis, and a skin condition might be linked to a specific bacteria.

This case study of a 75-year-old Japanese man with kerion Celsi found that terbinafine treatment was effective and safe, achieving a cure with minimal side effects.

This case study reported a diagnosis of dermatophytic pseudomycetoma in a Persian cat with dermal nodules, highlighting potential heritable predisposition and suggesting systemic antifungal therapy for fair prognosis.

Tufted folliculitis is common in patients with folliculitis decalvans.

This review discusses the current knowledge on using special and immunohistochemical stains for diagnosing hair disorders, concluding that no stains are recommended for routine use in hair pathology.

In this study, four dogs with a novel skin disease showed clinical lesions involving verrucous, crusted papules and plaques, and responded variably to immunosuppressive therapy, suggesting an immune-mediated cause.

This review highlights promising recent advances in therapies for epidermolysis bullosa, including gene therapy and stem cell approaches, but reports no definitive cures and emphasizes the need for further research.

This study on feather pattern formation in chicken skin found that inhibiting gap junctional intercellular communication can lead to the emergence of new feather buds in specific spatial patterns, suggesting that GJIC may facilitate Turing-type periodic patterning by propagating inhibitory signals over long distances.

This study found that treating paracoccidioidomycosis-infected mice with a nanoparticle formulation of itraconazole led to higher drug accumulation in lung, liver, and spleen tissues, improved treatment efficacy, and reduced side effects compared to traditional oral solutions.

This review discusses various systemic diseases associated with secondary alopecia and reports no new clinical findings; it emphasizes the importance of addressing underlying conditions and using diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and histopathology.

This paper reports a case of sebaceous carcinoma developing at the site of chronic candidiasis in a patient with keratitis–ichthyosis–deafness syndrome, without presenting new generalizable findings.

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 study reported significant moderate-to-severe complications in two patients following synthetic hair fiber implantation, including recurrent infections, scalp issues, and granulomatous reactions, which were only resolved once the fibers were removed despite initial treatment attempts with antibiotics.

An elderly man's hair grew back after treatment with secukinumab, possibly due to reduced scalp inflammation or the medication's direct effects.

This article discusses alopecia and the impact of hair loss on mental health, but it presents no new research findings and highlights the need for further studies.

This study found that Fraser's Dolphin, a tight-skinned mammal, can regenerate complex skin architecture with minimal scarring after large full-thickness wounds, even in high-tension environments, offering insights into regenerative healing mechanisms typically obscured by fibrotic responses.

This review discusses dermatophytosis in equines, caused primarily by T. equinum, noting its global prevalence and highlighting diagnostic methods; it reports no new clinical results.

This summary presents papers from the British Society for Dermatopathology but does not report new scientific findings or results.

This case report highlights that asymptomatic domestic cats can transmit Microsporum canis, leading to tinea capitis in humans, as seen in a four-year-old girl in the study.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman with kerion celsi showed improvement with a regimen including antifungal, bacterial, and adjunctive treatments, though the specific role of mesenchymal stromal cell secretome could not be isolated from the other therapies.

In this four-year study, pediatric patients with inoperable plexiform neurofibromas and type 1 neurofibromatosis treated with selumetinib frequently experienced dermatologic side effects, which required tailored management strategies and sometimes led to treatment suspension, potentially affecting tumor regrowth.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and explores how improved communication and digital pathology could enhance diagnosis, but it reports no new clinical results.

This paper identifies challenges in diagnosing alopecia variants, emphasizing the importance of pathologists understanding hair follicle histology, biopsy types, and collaborating with dermatologists to improve diagnostic accuracy.

This case report identified a connection between idiopathic intracranial hypertension, papilledema, and newly diagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus in a young woman, highlighting the importance of thorough system reviews in such circumstances.

This study reported that the novel AKT inhibitor CCT128930 demonstrated significant antitumor activity in human cancer cell lines and xenografts, highlighting its potential as an anticancer therapy.
