November 1966 in “Archives of Dermatology” The study on trichorrhexis nodosa (TN) involved 49 patients, with 26 experiencing scalp hair involvement, and 20 of these cases linked to excessive hair trauma. Additionally, 23 patients had TN in genito-inguinocrural or multiple sites, all experiencing pruritus. The condition often improved with less traumatic hair care or pruritus control. The research did not support the theory of TN being a metabolic defect, as shown by urine chromatography and hair analysis. The findings highlighted trauma as a significant factor, with in vitro experiments reproducing TN through mechanical stress, identifying it as a common cause of unexplained hair loss.

September 2008 in “Pediatric Rheumatology” The document described two cases of young children with lysinuric protein intolerance, a rare metabolic disease, presenting with symptoms resembling systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The first case involved a boy with failure to thrive and various symptoms, including hemolytic uremic syndrome-like disease and lupus nephritis, who tested positive for several autoantibodies. The second case was a Turkish girl with polyarthritis, fatigue, diffuse hair loss, and other symptoms, also showing positive autoantibodies. Both children were diagnosed with a lupus-like disease and treated with immunosuppressive therapy. Metabolic studies revealed low serum levels and high urine levels of arginine, lysine, and ornithine, leading to the diagnosis of lysinuric protein intolerance. The second case was confirmed by identifying a new mutation in the SLC7A7 gene.
