This study found that a novel R343H mutation in the vitamin D receptor gene impairs its transcription activity, contributing to hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets and alopecia in the affected family.

This article reviews Vitamin D-dependent rickets Type II with a focus on alopecia as a potential diagnostic clue for this rare disorder, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study identified two distinct VDR gene mutations among Lebanese families with hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets, noting varied treatment responses and promising outcomes despite severe phenotypes.

This study observed wide clinical diversity among five patients with the same VDR gene mutation causing vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, suggesting involvement of a nuclear accessory factor and a nongenomic action of the vitamin.

In this report, a 2-year-old male with GAPO syndrome exhibited androgenetic-like alopecia with normal testosterone levels and telogen hair loss, which are novel findings for this condition.

This study found that vitamin D regulates cholesterol metabolism and may influence prostate cancer development through mechanisms affecting prostate cell growth and sex hormone metabolism.

This article describes subclinical ketosis in pregnant cows and associates it with several metabolic changes and clinical signs, reporting decreased levels of hemoglobin and glucose and increased ketone bodies.

This narrative recounts a medical student's early experiences of confidence in diagnostics, transforming into a commitment to honesty and empathy in patient care after a challenging clinical encounter.

This case study reports that a 3 ½ year-old male with vitamin D-dependent type II rickets showed partial improvement in alopecia and rickets when treated with high doses of 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3.

This study suggests that unliganded vitamin D receptors in mice may cause more severe skeletal and mineral ion defects than VDR-null conditions, and vitamin D analogues may restore function in specific VDR mutations.

This article reviews the clinical complications and increased mortality risks associated with Cushing's syndrome but does not present new clinical data; it emphasizes the need for prompt treatment to mitigate these risks.

This book compiles papers from a 1988 symposium on human hair follicle research, highlighting collaboration between dermatology and industry, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that 100% of cancer patients at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital receiving carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy experienced grade 2 alopecia as an adverse drug reaction.

This article discusses the extent of investigation needed for diffuse alopecia in women but reports no new findings.

In this study, researchers identified a novel genetic variant in the NR3C1 gene in a mother and her son that predicts a truncated protein, leading to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome with mild hyperandrogenic features, although no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established.

This study found that a single topical application of calcipotriol ointment did not affect systemic calcium levels in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.

This study found that dermatological issues, such as xerosis and pigmentation, are common in chronic kidney disease patients and increase with the severity and duration of the disease, indicating that dialysis often exacerbates these conditions.

This study found that children with intracranial injuries had significantly lower odds of achieving satisfactory early academic performance compared to those without head injuries.

This review suggests that decreased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels may play a role in different types of non-scarring alopecia, but further studies are needed to explore vitamin D supplementation as a therapeutic option.

In this study, the authors observed that testosterone therapy shortened the QTc interval and normalized T-wave morphology in men with acquired LQTS or TdP linked to hypogonadism, suggesting testosterone may be helpful in treatment.

This study indicates that targeting the PTH/PTHrP receptor may potentially stimulate hair growth, particularly for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, as observed in hairless and cyclophosphamide-treated mice.

This study explores how SARS-CoV-2 interacts with endocrine organs and highlights specific endocrine molecules that help explain the progression and outcomes of COVID-19, especially in patients with certain metabolic conditions.

In this review, spironolactone is highlighted for its emerging use in dermatology, particularly for treating androgen-mediated conditions like acne and hirsutism in susceptible females, though it requires careful monitoring for potential adverse effects.

This chapter discusses the sources, classifications, and effects of hormones, their role in disease treatment and food security, and reports no new results.

This case study highlights the complexity of managing autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, emphasizing the need for thorough clinical history, high suspicion for early diagnosis, and continuous long-term follow-up.

The meeting discussed medical findings, including benefits of certain treatments for cancer and heart conditions, and highlighted issues like poor adherence to preventive measures and skill gaps among interns.

In this study, TENS of the T6 dermatome over a longer term was explored for its effects on weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and appetite-regulating hormones in obese subjects with moderate obstructive sleep apnea; however, results are not reported in the abstract.

Continuous glucose monitoring and GLP-1 receptor agonists improve diabetes management, but personalized care and education are crucial.

The document concludes that most hair loss treatments don't work, balding isn't caused by dandruff, and hair loss may indicate serious health issues that require medical attention.

This research highlights that engineered mice lacking the vitamin D receptor show multiple health issues similar to human vitamin D deficiency, underscoring the widespread impacts of the vitamin D endocrine system.
