This article discusses the DOAJ, a comprehensive index of international open access journals, and emphasizes its role in providing free quality content online without presenting new research findings.

In this open-label trial, 9-cis-retinoic acid showed moderate activity against Kaposi sarcoma in AIDS patients, but its use is limited by substantial side effects at higher doses.

In this study, D-OCT imaging revealed distinct structural and vascular changes in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the technique's potential for diagnosing and monitoring the condition's activity.

This study found that systemic treatment with DS77754007, a KLK5 inhibitor, improved skin symptoms in a mouse model of Netherton Syndrome more effectively than certain antibody treatments, suggesting KLK5 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach for this condition.

This study introduces the N-K Healing Series, an alternative geometric approach to medicine, claimed to restore tissue fully and eliminate pain without the traditional drawbacks, allegedly achieving results beyond mainstream medical treatments in simulated injury scenarios.

This report describes the first known case of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption occurring after a follicular unit extraction procedure, possibly linked to surgical trauma and post-surgical steroid use.

This report describes a rare case of kerion in a 6-year-old boy in Ireland, treated with oral Itraconazole and steroids, highlighting the condition's unusual occurrence in the region.

This study found that KLF4 expression in mouse hair follicle stem cells is important for effective cutaneous wound healing, with its knockdown leading to reduced stem cell populations and delayed healing.

This article reports on the use of ketoconazole for treating cutaneous leishmaniasis, but includes no new clinical trial findings.

In this study, researchers found that the KLHL24-ΔN28 protein variant disrupts hair follicle stem cells in a mouse model, leading to premature hair loss by degrading keratin 15.

This article reviews advances in hair restoration techniques, highlighting the rise of follicular unit excision (FUE) as the dominant method over strip harvesting but also noting concerns about untrained practitioners and resulting complications.

This review discusses the choice between follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit excision (FUE) in hair restoration surgery, highlighting their respective advantages and how improved techniques have increased FUE's popularity despite equivalent aesthetic results with FUT.

This article reviews online discussions on managing psoriasis in patients considering hair restoration surgery, and it reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers observed that keratoacanthoma exhibits dynamic follicular differentiation throughout its stages, with changes in specific keratin expressions, and regressed lesions showing epidermal rather than follicular characteristics.

This study explored the potential of human hair keratin as a filtration material, finding that it may effectively absorb the pollutants diclofenac and perfluorobutanesulfonate. The researchers reported significant binding affinities through molecular simulations, supporting further investigation into keratin's use for water purification.

This study describes a novel FUE device that may perform successfully across various patient scenarios, adapting to differences in skin firmness, thickness, and hair curliness.

This review discusses the use of follicular unit extraction for hair restoration, particularly body hair transplantation, and highlights its potential as an alternative donor source in advanced baldness cases, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study concluded that topical ketoconazole is effective and safe for treating superficial fungal infections and has potential for new dermatologic uses despite concerns over oral administration's adverse effects.

This report of two pediatric cases suggests that careful diagnosis of scalp lesions as possible dermatophytic infections is crucial to avoid inappropriate surgical treatment and facilitate proper conservative management.

This case study reports that combining skin debridement with topical and systemic antifungals improved treatment outcomes for kerion celsi in a 5-year-old boy, preventing scarring alopecia.

In this study, researchers reported that a new skin-responsive FU excision device consistently succeeded in all patients of African descent, showing a mean graft transection rate of less than 10%, with skin thickness and firmness identified as major factors affecting graft attrition rate.

This study found that Kangfuxin improved cell proliferation, migration, and wound healing in a mouse model of cutaneous injury through the activation of the STAT3 signaling pathway.

This review hypothesizes that excessive facial photo-protection may contribute to frontal fibrosing alopecia by disrupting immunological homeostasis through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-kynurenine pathway, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study presents cases suggesting that hair transplantation may trigger de novo frontal fibrosing alopecia in some patients, highlighting a potential association worth considering as cosmetic hair procedures become more common.

In this study, researchers describe the FUE method of hair micrografting, which involves extracting and implanting follicular units using advanced tools, leading to more natural results, quicker recovery, and less damage to donor sites.

This article presents the surgical technique of long hair follicular unit excision (FUE) in hair transplantation and reports procedural and outcome data for 134 patients, without evaluating clinical outcomes.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis in young siblings, with cultures showing M. canis and Rhodotorulla, and notes improvement after treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo for two months.

This case report highlights an atypical presentation of favus in an immunocompetent adult, where a psoriasiform plaque over the 'bindi' area was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole, achieving complete resolution without relapse. Simple stains proved essential for diagnosis in this resource-limited setting.

In this study, a 75% ethanol extract of Fructus Psoraleae was found to significantly inhibit 5-α reductase and promote hair growth in mice, indicating its potential as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia through modulation of the Nrf2-Keap1 pathway.
