In this case report, a 42-year-old Yemeni man who consumed khat presented with elevated liver enzymes and fatty liver, raising concerns about khat's potential role in accelerating liver damage, especially when obesity and fatty liver disease are already present.

This study suggests that hair follicles in the genital area may serve as reservoirs for high-risk human papillomaviruses.

This article reviews the use of anti-androgens, particularly cyproterone acetate, for managing hirsutism, but does not provide new clinical results.

This study found that cepharanthine significantly inhibits EqHV-8 infection in vitro and improves lung tissue pathology in infected mice by reducing oxidative stress through specific signaling pathways, suggesting its potential as a treatment for equid herpesvirus type 8.

This case report describes a patient with HIV who experienced overlapping symptoms of primary and secondary syphilis and showed clinical and serological improvement after treatment with benzathine penicillin and antiretroviral drugs.

This study presents a new mouse model for investigating chronic graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the role of human thymic tissue in developing multiorgan fibrosis driven by human immune cells.

This article discusses a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, detailing symptoms, diagnostic features, and treatment with corticosteroids, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In this case study, researchers detailed two Saudi cases of the ultra-rare Trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, identifying pathogenic variants in the CCDC47 gene and reinforcing a strong gene-disease association, which helps clarify the disorder's clinical features and genetic mutations.

In this case study, a 70-year-old male with lymphoid variant hypereosinophilic syndrome presented with rare isolated pulmonary involvement, which improved with prednisone treatment.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.

This study reported that black hairy tongue can occur after allogeneic stem cell transplantation and may indicate cutaneous graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for histopathologic evaluation.

This case report describes a black HIV-2 patient who experienced reversible nail, hair, and skin hyperpigmentation linked to ritonavir-boosted indinavir therapy, which resolved after discontinuation.

A woman with a specific mutation causing adrenal gland issues faced fertility problems, but careful hormone therapy helped her manage it successfully.

This study concluded that neither basal nor ACTH-stimulated 17-OHP concentrations effectively indicate carrier status for 21-hydroxylase deficiency among Slovenian hyperandrogenic women, recommending molecular analysis of the CYP21 gene for reliable screening.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes the need for earlier detection and proper management; it reports no clinical results.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, molecular genetics, and management of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, with no new clinical findings reported.

This article reports that while surgical excision is often the best treatment for SCC, intralesional cidofovir also showed success without systemic toxicity in the case discussed.

In this NIH study, female donor to male recipient sex mismatch was significantly associated with the development of vitiligo and/or alopecia areata in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease.

In this study, topical acyclovir significantly delayed hair growth initiation and completion in mice and reduced hair follicle size, suggesting potential inhibitory effects on hair growth.

This case report describes a severe form of HIV-associated pityriasis rubra pilaris in a dark-skinned woman that improved rapidly and sustainably with combination antiretroviral therapy, despite atypical presentation without significant erythroderma.

This study found that the TLR3 L412F genetic variant is associated with severe viral infections, especially CMV, and immune dysfunction in a subgroup of chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis patients.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of varicella zoster virus interstitial keratitis misdiagnosed as corneal intraepithelial neoplasia; the correct identification using diagnostic tools such as AS-OCT prevented unnecessary surgical interventions and allowed for effective antiviral treatment.

Viral reactivation is rare at the time of DRESS diagnosis in the U.S.

This case report describes the first known instance of hereditary choreiform disorder associated with and aggravated by systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the need for vigilance in diagnosing co-existing autoimmune conditions.

This study established a murine chronic graft-versus-host disease model with scleroderma features, showing typical skin changes and cellular infiltrates associated with the condition.

In this study, researchers found that cepharanthine significantly inhibited HSV-1 replication in vitro by interfering with specific signaling pathways, arresting the cell cycle, and inducing apoptosis in infected cells, highlighting its potential as an antiviral agent.

This article discusses dutasteride, a new drug for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, and highlights the need for further experience to confirm its safety and efficacy.

In this study, pegylated interferon alfa-2b injections led to local cutaneous reactions, including cutaneous necrosis, in patients with hepatitis C and chronic myelocytic leukemia, requiring dose modifications or treatment withdrawal in some cases.

This study describes a patient with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) who, despite having a truncated vitamin D receptor, did not exhibit typical hair or skin abnormalities, suggesting possible compensation via interactions with other proteins.

This study found that parents identified with cryptic NCCAH through genetic testing are mostly asymptomatic but may experience temporary female infertility and require glucocorticoid stress coverage in specific circumstances.
