This case report describes an adolescent with coeliac disease presenting severe hypercalcaemia from a parathyroid adenoma, suggesting possible links between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism.

This abstract reviews hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, a rare genetic condition causing severe early childhood rickets, and reports no new results; effective treatment typically requires high doses of calcium to address hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This study mapped the safety profile of EGFR-TKIs by analyzing FDA adverse event reports, highlighting unexpected reactions like intestinal obstruction and hypokalaemia with gefitinib and erlotinib.

This study found that preventing abnormal mineral ion homeostasis in vitamin D receptor knockout mice stopped bone abnormalities, while the animal's skin phenotype arose from direct receptor effects independent of vitamin D.

This study observed that Cyp27b1−/− mice exhibited growth and skeletal abnormalities similar to those of Vdr−/− mice, despite differences like the development of alopecia in Vdr−/− mice, suggesting that 1α,25D3 may directly influence chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation.

This study identified three new mutations in the VDR ligand-binding domain that may cause dysfunction, and noted that oral calcium and calcidol treatment was effective, but only one patient experienced hair growth.

In this case report, a girl with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 experienced stabilized disease and reversal of alopecia universalis after treatment with glucocorticoids and methotrexate.

In this retrospective study of eight Saudi children with hereditary vitamin D resistant rickets, researchers observed that adjunctive cinacalcet appeared safe and showed initial promise in improving serum PTH levels, though further investigation is needed to confirm its efficacy.

This case report describes a 56-year-old male with chronic watery diarrhea, hyperpigmentation, and alopecia, in whom colonoscopy revealed multiple polypoidal lesions from the distal transverse colon to the rectum.

This study highlights a rare case of vitamin D-dependent rickets type 2A caused by a heterozygous mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene, emphasizing the complexity of managing this condition with high-dose calcium and vitamin D therapy.

This case report details a 77-year-old man initially suspected of having multiple myeloma but ultimately diagnosed with Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinaemia, highlighting the importance of accurate differential diagnosis for conditions like epistaxis and high serum IgM.

Diuretics help the body get rid of excess salt and water by acting on the kidneys in different ways.

This case report describes a rare occurrence of giant bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a 28-year-old female with CAH, emphasizing that large, hormonally active, or painful myelolipomas should be surgically removed.

This study reported that toxic shock syndrome, originally noted in children, is now predominantly associated with menstruating women, with some experiencing recurrence and complications like vocal cord paralysis and impaired finger sensation.

This study describes a case of vitamin D resistant rickets in a young girl due to end organ unresponsiveness, highlighting a possible new subtype of the disorder with distinct clinical features.

This case study reported that absence of alopecia does not reliably predict responsiveness to vitamin D treatment in Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, as demonstrated by a patient with normal hair growth who showed extreme resistance.

This case report documents an instance of symptomatic hypothyroidism developing in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma after beginning treatment with orlistat.

This case report documents new hair growth in a 57-year-old man with androgenic alopecia after receiving gefitinib treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer.

This case study describes a patient who developed mild eosinophilia and a skin rash after starting clozapine, which resolved without discontinuing the medication.

This case report discusses a 27-month-old girl with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, who showed minor improvement in skeletal features and alopecia after high-dose oral calcium and vitamin D3 treatment.

Hair loss should be medically treated, as non-medical treatments are ineffective and hair loss can indicate serious health issues.

Jockeys using diuretics without potassium supplements can face health problems.

This review discusses the reclassification of pregnancy-related skin diseases and provides a management algorithm but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the absence of the vitamin D receptor disrupts hair follicle structure during the first catagen in mice, linked to increased expression of the hairless gene.

This study found that the vitamin D receptor is crucial for initiating the postnatal hair follicular cycle in mice, preventing alopecia associated with its inactivation.

Pregnancy can cause specific skin conditions that need correct diagnosis and treatment to protect both mother and baby.

In this study, mutations in the vitamin D receptor were identified in Brazilian children with rickets and alopecia, leading to impaired receptor activation and reduced 24-hydroxylase expression.

This study found that a novel missense mutation in the vitamin D receptor caused hereditary 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-resistant rickets with alopecia by disrupting protein function, highlighting the importance of DNA binding in hair development.

This review addresses clinical findings in parathyroid disease and discusses the metabolism of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone, reporting no new results.

In this study, eight patients with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets who share a specific VDR mutation showed improved clinical symptoms except alopecia after up to 11 years of treatment.
