Hair shaft disorders often indicate genetic or systemic issues and are managed by minimizing damage.

This case report describes a successful treatment of scalp hair white piedra caused by T. ovoides with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole, using a combination of clinical, trichoscopic, microbiologic, and molecular methods for diagnosis.

This case report describes a woman with HIV who developed iatrogenic Cushing syndrome and adrenal insufficiency due to the interaction between fluticasone and ritonavir, highlighting the need for careful management of corticosteroid use in patients on protease inhibitors.

This study found that using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) carrying the causal mutation of Epidermolysis Bullosa simplex provides a robust model for understanding its molecular mechanisms and testing potential therapeutic targets.

ANp63 is crucial for skin integrity, new filaggrin gene mutations link to eczema, hair can regrow from non-stem cells, sunburns are increasing, and glucocorticoids help treat skin allergies by affecting immune cells.

This article discusses the challenges and lack of progress in improving burn care outcomes for patients aged 65 and older, highlighting the urgent need for tailored treatment protocols and better understanding of their long-term care needs.

This case study highlights that even professional eyebrow tinting can lead to chemical burns, and increasing consumer awareness is crucial as its popularity grows and unregulated products become more common.

This study found that α3β1-integrin is crucial for maintaining normal hair follicle morphology in mice, as its deficiency leads to severe abnormalities despite not affecting interfollicular epidermal differentiation.

This review proposes a new approach for categorizing and diagnosing unruly hair forms, building on previous literature and clinical experience, without presenting new clinical results.

This review discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of hair shaft disorders and suggests diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and light microscopy, but reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews the prevalence, pathogenesis, and management of hair and scalp disorders but reports no new clinical findings.

A teenager's hair with alternating white and dark bands, known as Pili annulati, is a genetic condition that is usually harmless and often considered attractive.

This study found that chemically treated hair, particularly when subjected to both acid straightening and bleaching, experiences more significant structural damage when exposed to heat, highlighting key changes in both the internal and surface components of hair fibers.

The ZIP13 variant is linked to abnormal hair quality.

This case series describes seven distinct hair shaft disorders, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis since these conditions are often treated incorrectly as alopecias without improvement.

Two siblings have a rare genetic condition causing curly, coarse hair.

This study found that Pomeranians with Alopecia X had fewer follicles per group, more fragile hair, and distinct hair cycle stages compared to non-alopecic Pomeranians, highlighting coat-type differences significant for diagnosing the condition.

This review discusses the impact of menopause-related oestrogen deficiency on skin ageing and suggests that oestrogen use may improve collagen and skin elasticity, but it reports no clinical trial results.

This review discusses the skin conditions associated with endocrine diseases in children and adolescents, emphasizing their importance in early diagnosis and treatment, but presents no new clinical findings.

Bicalutamide may improve hair growth in postmenopausal women with mild side effects.

This study developed effervescent cleansing tablets containing asiatic-acid-loaded solid lipid microparticles, finding that they provided effective cleansing compared to water and showed good flow properties, pH, and hardness but were unstable at high temperature and humidity.

This article reviews the design and objectives of the Rotterdam Study, as well as summarizes major findings, without reporting new results.

This study observed a 31% decrease in antidepressant use among patients who were preoperatively taking such medication, suggesting cosmetic surgery may influence antidepressant needs.

A woman's skin symptoms led to a diagnosis of systemic AL amyloidosis, but she died from sepsis shortly after.

This study found significant differences in alopecia rates among rhesus macaques based on their previous housing facilities, suggesting that factors beyond current environment may influence alopecia.

Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.

This study found that frailty independently raises the risk of clinical BPH progression and serious adverse events in older men, suggesting that shared decision-making is essential when considering medical therapy for frail patients.

This study found that transgenic mice expressing human keratin K8 in the epidermis showed increased progression of skin lesions toward malignancy, suggesting a role for K8 in the development of invasive skin cancer.

This study reports that miR-302 promotes pluripotency by inhibiting NR2F2 and indirectly regulating OCT4 in stem cells, enhancing reprogramming efficiency when added to traditional factors.

This study found that transgenic mice overexpressing HGF/SF are more susceptible to UVA-induced melanoma, with melanin in the papillary dermis interacting with UVA to induce melanoma.
