This study found that acanthosis nigricans in the knuckles correlates with higher insulin and HOMA-IR values, potentially serving as an early, accessible marker for insulin resistance even without excess weight.

This study suggests that elevated levels of certain heavy metals, rather than zinc, may play a causative role in primary chronic telogen effluvium.

This review discusses the characteristics and management of cutaneous immune-related adverse events from immune checkpoint inhibitors and notes their potential association with a favorable cancer treatment response.

In this study, researchers administered intravenous autologous activated platelet-rich plasma (aaPRP) to 611 patients and reported no adverse events, suggesting that this treatment is safe even for patients with various pathological conditions.

This study found that biotin deficiency in mice led to reduced zinc levels, disappearance of epidermal Langerhans cells, and increased ATP production, resulting in prolonged irritant contact dermatitis.

In this case study, a 14-year-old female with premature hair graying showed improved hair color after treatment with a topical Melitane 5% formulation and oral hair supplements.

This article discusses polycystic ovarian syndrome and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management to reduce long-term complications, but reports no new research findings.

This article describes a case of possible kerosene and diesel-induced skin injury in an asylum seeker and presents a template for dermatological assessments in similar cases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This report presents a case of hereditary elliptocytosis in a 37-year-old woman with iron deficiency anemia, identifying a high percentage of elliptocytes in her blood after treatment.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman whose recurrent hair shedding was associated with low iron stores and a miscarriage, with improvements seen after increased iron intake.

This study found that relatives of women with symptoms of oligo-amenorrhoea and hirsutism experienced higher rates of hirsutism, menstrual disorders, infertility, childlessness, diabetes, and hypertension compared to relatives of symptomless women.

This study found that the ID2 gene was highly expressed in bulge-derived keratinocytes when exposed to contact sensitizers and may serve as a marker to distinguish sensitizers from irritants during in vitro testing.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl whose undiagnosed Coeliac disease presented with symptoms of alopecia, iron deficiency anemia, and trichobezoar, indicating a link between malabsorption, anemia, and resulting pica.

This article discusses techniques for correcting hairline deformities after face lift procedures using follicular unit implantation, but it reports no clinical results.

This case study observed that long-term itraconazole and budesonide use in a cystic fibrosis patient led to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to inhibited metabolic clearance of budesonide, suggesting a need for regular adrenal insufficiency monitoring in such treatments.

This study found that women with acne and oligomenorrhea have higher levels of biologically active testosterone compared to those with acne and normal menstrual cycles.

Sulphur in hair follicles increases from the bulb and then levels off, while other elements vary in distribution.

The document concludes that scalp disorders can be treated with hair washing, specific shampoos, medications, and sometimes surgery or hair transplants, but hereditary baldness is untreatable.

This study found that improved testosterone measurement using LC-MS/MS in women with PCOS revealed a stronger correlation between hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance than previously detected.

This study found that FucoPol hydrogel membranes can effectively deliver model drugs such as caffeine and diclofenac sodium via different loading methods, with notable mechanical and release properties, suggesting their potential as platforms for topical drug delivery.

In this study, extracts from three Polynesian plants—Bidens pilosa, Calophyllum inophyllum, and Fagraea berteroana—were found to increase dermal papilla cell proliferation and modulate hair growth-related gene expression, suggesting potential for stimulating hair growth.

This case report suggests that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may improve symptoms of non-classic adrenal hyperplasia related to 11-hydroxylase deficiency by reducing insulin resistance.

Keratinocyte cytokines and genetic variations influence the development of moles and skin pigmentation.

This study suggests obstructive sleep apnea may increase the risk of male-pattern baldness in men with a family history of hair loss, and links low serum transferrin saturation levels to both conditions.

Acne in dark skin is influenced by environmental factors and can lead to hyperpigmentation, with various treatment options available.

DNA can predict physical traits like eye and hair color accurately, especially in Europeans, but predicting other traits and in diverse populations needs more research.

This study found that anagen hairs require less force to be extracted than telogen hairs in an in vitro pig skin model, indicating different anchorage mechanisms.

Up to 50% of scalp hair can be lost before it appears thin, and treatment is only needed for hair loss caused by diseases or deficiencies.

This study found that sodium and potassium hair levels may serve as sex-specific indicators, with slight differences in copper and iron content between males and females, particularly during the female reproductive period.

This study found that women with PCOS had higher body fat and worse insulin resistance than non-PCOS women, with body composition influencing metabolic profiles independently of PCOS status.
