This case report details an atypical presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma in an 87-year-old man, where severe hypercalcemia and mental status changes prompted further investigation and diagnosis.

This study found that valproic acid may interfere with the leucine metabolic pathway by inhibiting 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and biotinidase, which could contribute to side effects like skin rash and hair loss in patients.

This study observed significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations in foals compared to mares, with a strong positive correlation between the two, suggesting that hair cortisol can reflect maternal and fetal cortisol exposure during the last trimester of gestation in horses.

This article reviews recent research and advancements in scalp cooling for preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss, reporting no new clinical results.

Human hair follicle stem cells show signs of low oxygen levels, which may be important for hair growth and preventing baldness.

This paper reviews the hair color changes associated with valproic acid treatment, noting only a few reported instances of bleaching or darkening, and reports no new findings.

This narrative review discusses carboxytherapy, highlighting its potential benefits in treating various dermatologic and cosmetic conditions such as skin aging, cellulite, and alopecia. Reportedly, this minimally-invasive treatment facilitates skin rejuvenation through vasodilatation and collagen reorganization.

In this report, researchers describe a 13-month-old with neurodevelopmental disorder NEDESBA, confirming a TRAPPC4 gene mutation as the cause after excluding biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of molecular testing for accurate diagnosis in overlapping metabolic and genetic conditions.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This case report highlights that in severe illnesses like sepsis, myxedema coma can occur with less elevated TSH levels than typical for primary hypothyroidism, likely due to inflammatory cytokines affecting TSH secretion, even when central lesions are absent.

This case study indicates that older patients with NMOSD may show favorable clinical improvements with aggressive treatment, even when the intervention is initiated later in the disease course.

This article presents two cases of tinea capitis in postpubertal individuals highlighting the importance of early treatment to prevent scarring and permanent hair loss; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the importance of differential diagnosis and adequate treatment for tinea capitis, a common scalp infection in children, and reports no new results.

This study found that three wall orbital decompression by the coronal approach effectively reduces proptosis in Graves' ophthalmopathy patients with fewer complications compared to other techniques.

This study introduces the term "hair matrix cyst" for a cyst with both pilomatricoma and epidermal cyst characteristics, highlighting its potential for misdiagnosis among similar skin conditions.

This study highlights the complexity of diagnosing scalp fungal infections, emphasizing how clinical evaluation, trichoscopy, and cultural samples are essential in distinguishing tinea capitis from similar conditions like piedra, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis, due to overlapping symptoms like scaling and hair changes.

This study found that alcohol dependence is associated with altered HPA axis functioning, with AD patients showing higher hair cortisol concentrations and reduced ACTH and cortisol levels, irrespective of childhood maltreatment history.

This case report describes Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in a patient without underlying conditions, occurring after pneumatic compression for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, with spontaneous resolution upon stopping compression.

This study investigated scalp cooling in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, finding that those who reached a lower mean scalp skin temperature of 18 °C during cooling were less likely to require a wig or head covering compared to those with higher temperatures.

This review discusses hypopituitarism's bidirectional relationship with COVID-19 due to metabolic comorbidities and pituitary risks, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This study reported the presence of dermatophyte macroconidia directly in clinical samples from a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, marking the first time this has been documented. The infection, caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole and topical ketoconazole shampoo.

In this study, researchers explored how hypoxic preconditioning affects the survival and oxidative stress resilience of nestin-expressing hair follicle stem cells and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, focusing on changes in gene expression for HIF1α, BDNF, and VEGF.

This study found no statistically significant differences in extracellular water and cardiac measurements between COVID-19 patients in intensive care and those on the ward, though the NICaS device might aid fluid management.

This case report found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly accelerated postoperative recovery in hair transplantation patients, improving healing, graft integration, and patient satisfaction without complications.

In this case report, researchers identified Vitamin A toxicity as the cause of refractory hypercalcemia in a nonverbal patient, emphasizing the difficulty of diagnosing this rare condition due to its nonspecific symptoms.

In this study, researchers found multiple somatic mutations and copy number variations in a patient with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, providing novel insights into its potential genetic mechanisms.
