This retrospective study documented various skin diseases in alpacas, reporting bacterial infections as the most common, along with other conditions described for the first time.

This manuscript reviews the latest understanding of alopecia areata's pathogenesis, highlighting the roles of genetic, immunological, and environmental factors, with a focus on immune responses involving IFN-γ and cytotoxic CD8+ T-cells as key contributors to hair follicle inflammation and function disruption without follicle destruction.

This study observed two cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia developing on preexisting vitiligo, suggesting a potential causal link between the two conditions.

This study found that ICAM-1 expression in murine skin is developmentally regulated and crucial for skin and hair follicle remodeling beyond its recognized role in immune responses.

This review presents an evidence-based algorithm for managing hidradenitis suppurativa in primary care, highlighting the need for more research on treatment effectiveness and the disease's pathogenesis.

This review discusses various skin changes during pregnancy, noting that while most are benign and resolve after childbirth, some may require careful medical management for the safety of the mother and fetus; it reports no new results.

This study suggests that trichoscopy may assist in diagnosing pemphigus, particularly for scalp-specific lesions, by identifying certain characteristic features.

This is the first report of the FOXN1 p.R255X mutation from India, demonstrating the global spread of this genetic mutation previously found only in an Italian community.

This study found that dermatological treatments significantly reduce health-related quality of life among patients with various skin conditions, suggesting that the burden of these therapies should be considered in treatment planning and development.

This study reports that patients with alopecia areata in the US incur significantly higher healthcare utilization and expenses, primarily driven by ambulatory and pharmacy costs, compared to matched controls.

This case study suggests that overgrowth of microorganisms with hyperkeratosis may contribute to the induction of lichen planopilaris by disrupting the immune privilege of hair follicles.

This study found that patients with RASopathies have lower serum IgA and CD8 levels compared to controls, indicating a potential risk for developing autoimmune disorders.

This study suggests that genetic overlap between alopecia areata and major depressive disorder may be limited to the MHC region, highlighting the need for further research.

Genetics, hormones, and microbiome changes contribute to hidradenitis suppurativa.

This article discusses the association of stressful life events with alopecia areata and their effects on patients' psychosocial outcomes, but it reports no new empirical findings.

This review explored the relationship between autoimmune thyroiditis and various autoimmune skin conditions, highlighting shared genetic markers and immunological mechanisms, such as disrupted immune tolerance and oxidative stress, which may contribute to the development of these disorders.

This review discusses the bidirectional interactions between human mast cells and CD8 T cells in the skin, particularly in the context of disorders like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and vitiligo, and reports no new findings.

This review examines diverse regenerative strategies in animals and highlights how biochemical, immunological, and mechanical signals can work together for successful skin regeneration in adult mammals, but it reports no new experimental results.

This case study reports the first known instance of isolated sub-acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus potentially induced by long-term nitrofurantoin therapy, with effective treatment using topical steroids and hydroxychloroquine.

A man with both skin lesions and lung cancer improved quickly with chemotherapy, suggesting the skin condition might be a reaction to immune system injury.

This review discusses formulations and evaluation of herbal shampoos for hair growth stimulation, finding licorice extract shampoo to be the most effective, and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with increased diagnoses of acne and telogen effluvium, particularly among patients with COVID-19, at a New York City hospital system.

This article reviews the identification and assessment of cutaneous drug reactions, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and the need for accurate diagnosis to prevent serious complications; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report details an instance of Wolf's isotopic response, where a 76-year-old patient developed keloids at the site of a previous herpes zoster infection, highlighting the unclear pathogenesis and theoretical explanations for such occurrences.

This research discusses the shift in cosmetic dermatology towards integrating regenerative medicine, AI, and personalized care, highlighting their potential to improve aesthetic outcomes and skin function while considering ethical and regulatory challenges.

This case report suggests an association between the use of Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and the development of alopecia universalis in a diabetic patient.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, serum granulysin levels decreased significantly after treatment with tofacitinib and correlated with reduced disease severity, suggesting serum granulysin as an indicator of immunological activity and response to therapy.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.

In this study, tofacitinib was found to be a promising treatment for adolescents with alopecia areata, showing significant hair regrowth in most patients with mild adverse effects, despite limitations like small sample size and lack of control group.

This study found that the pattern of skin diseases in Kathmandu is evolving, with an increase in allergic and immunologic conditions and a continued prevalence of infections.
