This study reports a rare case where severe vitamin B12 deficiency was identified as the cause of excessive daytime sleepiness, which resolved after vitamin B12 replenishment.

This study highlights two newly discovered metabolic disorders of biotin, showing distinct skin and hair symptoms and severe complications like acidosis and ketosis.

This study observed that hair loss, which resolved on its own within six months, was reported by some patients after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, suggesting it as a potential side effect.

This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that pregnant women experienced an increase in hair cortisol concentrations, with primiparae having significantly higher levels in the last trimester compared to multiparae.

This study observed that hyperprolactinemia in women may be associated with skin and hair symptoms similar to those induced by androgens, suggesting hormone level evaluations in such cases.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

This article reviews historical cases and descriptions of perifolliculitis capitis abscedens et suffodiens, highlighting its characteristics and treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report describes cases of tinea capitis in women over 65, an age group where it is rare, highlighting the need for fungal culture in atypical scalp dermatoses to avoid diagnostic delays.

This study found that early diagnosis using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and appropriate long-term treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with methylmalonic acidemia.

This study observed that drug-naïve first-episode psychosis patients had higher hair cortisol concentrations than healthy controls, and these concentrations correlated with the severity of psychopathology.

This case report highlights a rare instance of valproate-induced hypertensive urgency in a 2-year-old girl, with improvement after stopping the medication.

This article reports no new results but indicates hiccups have not been previously documented as a complication of hair restoration procedures.

In this case study, zinc deficiency persisted despite supplementation in a patient with severe malnutrition and empyema, potentially due to nutrient absorption competition and proton pump inhibitor use.

The research observed that a penguin cap scalp cooling system may effectively reduce chemotherapy-induced alopecia, though its success varies due to individual characteristics and treatment regimens.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis: one resistant to local iodine treatment after partial improvement, and another cured with the same treatment, in African American and Caucasian children, respectively.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, suggesting that Penicillium may have been the causative agent.

In this case study, a 69-year-old woman with severe hypercortisolism developed acute adrenal insufficiency after starting ketoconazole treatment, highlighting the need for cautious dosing and close monitoring of adrenal function, particularly in patients with prior glucocorticoid exposure.

In this study, the safety profile of the prodrug CAP7.1 was found to be similar to other topoisomerase inhibitors, with myelosuppression as the main dose-limiting toxicity.

This study reported that Lung-Ultrasound effectively monitors lung recovery in COVID-19 ARDS survivors, and identified a link between high EPAP-CPAP pressure and cardiopulmonary impairment.

In this study, valproic acid treatment did not significantly affect serum biotinidase enzyme activity in children, but was associated with hair loss in some patients, which resolved with biotin supplementation.

This study found that females exposed to high cumulative doses of cyproterone acetate had a 6–20 fold increased risk of developing meningiomas compared to those on lower doses.

This study suggests that hair cortisol concentration may not reliably indicate psychological distress or differentiate clinical from non-clinical populations, as observed in a female PhD student over nine years.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy in critical condition who developed anagen effluvium, possibly due to hypotension and hypoxia triggering hair follicle apoptosis.
