This paper reviews plica polonica, a rare hair disorder linked historically to poor hygiene and now to severe self-neglect or medical conditions, and outlines various treatment and preventive strategies but reports no new findings.

This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study found that the BASP classification system for pattern hair loss showed better reproducibility and repeatability compared to the Norwood-Hamilton classification.

This study found that dermatology consultations in a tertiary care center led to treatment changes in most cases, especially for complex conditions potentially linked to systemic disease.

In this study, topical finasteride showed mild-to-moderate improvement in androgenetic alopecia among a cohort in Saudi Arabia, with combination therapy outperforming monotherapy. Adverse events were rare. The study highlights the need for prospective trials to clarify finasteride's standalone effects.

This article discusses the challenges in diagnosing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia and emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, reporting no new clinical results.

This study reports that compound heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in the HEPHL1 gene in a child were associated with abnormal hair and cognitive issues, linking altered ferroxidase activity to hair disorders.

This study reviewed existing literature and reported two cases of perinevoid alopecia, suggesting that melanocyte antigens may be involved in its development.

In this study, researchers found that correcting the HGPS mutation with Adenine base editing partially rescued accelerated skin cell differentiation and reduced cell death in patient-derived stem cells.

This letter reports the first known Japanese case of autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis with compound heterozygous mutations in the LIPH gene.

This case report details an occurrence of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease during pegylated interferon-α2b and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C.

Women with hyperandrogenism, especially those with PCOS, are more likely to have psychiatric disorders.

This study found that although progerin expression in mouse skin causes significant nuclear shape changes in keratinocytes, it does not result in alopecia or common skin abnormalities seen in human Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome.

This study suggests that while PTH rP initially seemed to shorten the hair cycle by transitioning hair follicles from anagen to catagen, more relevant models indicate it ultimately accelerates and stimulates hair growth.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a history of smoking significantly predicted a more refractory course of palmoplantar pustulosis, with associated comorbidities often including hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and thyroid diseases.

This study identified two prevalent and one newly proposed founder LIPH mutations in Japanese patients with autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis and associated these mutations with different severities of hair loss.

This overview describes various disorders, including haphephobia, alopecia areata, and urinary incontinence, summarizing potential treatments and management strategies specific to each condition.

A specific gene mutation causes severe skin and nail issues and hair loss.

In this case study, researchers observed a 5.8-year-old male with peripheral precocious puberty due to a germ cell tumor, marked by elevated human chorionic gonadotropin levels. Treatment normalized hormone levels and arrested the puberty progression, highlighting melatonin's potential role in transitions to central precocious puberty.

This case report describes a 67-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia and her daughter with lichen planopilaris, noting identical HLA D types which suggest a phenotypical link between these conditions.

This study reported that heat treatment significantly increased the incidence of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, suggesting a role for induced HSPA1A/B expression in disease development.

This review proposes renaming polycystic ovarian syndrome to "Hyperandrogenic Persistent Ovulatory Dysfunction Syndrome" to better reflect its diagnostic criteria and promote consistency in research, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reported a previously undescribed form of hereditary hypotrichosis in a family, characterized by childhood-onset hair loss, morphea, and probable autosomal dominant inheritance.

This study suggests that the key mechanism of stress-related hair loss involves CRH-induced PTEN loss, which reduces autophagy and increases apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, highlighting potential therapeutic targets like PTEN activation or autophagy enhancement.

This study identified a novel insertion mutation in the hairless gene that may contribute to the development of congenital atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family.

This case report describes two boys with Danon disease, initially misdiagnosed due to increased transaminases, who exhibited cardiac issues and muscle pseudohypertrophy.

In this study of Han Chinese women, the mitochondrial DNA N haplogroup was associated with a higher risk of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus and its specific manifestations, such as skin impairment and neurological disturbances.

This paper reviews the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome-related atherosclerosis, especially in vascular smooth muscle cells, but reports no clinical findings; intervention in these pathways is suggested as a potential therapeutic strategy.

This review hypothesizes that risperidone long-acting injectable may be linked to bullous pemphigoid in a bipolar patient, though current studies report mixed results.
