In this case report, a 34-year-old woman with black dot tinea capitis did not respond to oral Itraconazole but was successfully treated with Terbinafine.

This report suggests that orf infections in Brussels often occur after the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice due to the ritual sheep sacrifice, affecting both men and women handling the animals.

This case report describes a 15-month-old girl with a history of dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and failure to thrive, leading to a suspected diagnosis of Netherton syndrome.

This report documents a rare case of familial eyelash trichomegaly and synophrys in three siblings, with one sister also having loose anagen hair syndrome, an unreported association.

This case report describes a ten-year-old boy with kerion celsi caused by Trichosporon asteroides, successfully treated with systemic fluconazole over eight weeks, marking the first documentation of this cause in the literature.

This study examined the morphological variations of terminal hair from different body regions of a Caucasian male, finding notable differences in diameter and features like "steak-boning" in specific hair types.

This study found that epidermolysis bullosa simplex keratinocytes had impaired mitochondrial activity and more dispersed mitochondrial distribution compared to normal human keratinocytes.

This study found that genes in the human keratin-associated protein 1 family may have evolved mainly through gene duplication of cysteine-repeat motifs.

This study explores the potential link between the sparse eyebrows and lashes of the "Girl with a Pearl Earring" and conditions such as alopecia areata, while also considering other medical hypotheses like syphilis, but maintains that the painting's charm and idealized beauty remain intact.

This paper describes a rare case of keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans in a nine-year-old girl, a condition typically more severe in males due to its X-linked inheritance.

This editorial reviews the concept of central sensitization and central sensitivity syndromes, discussing their potential role linking various chronic conditions, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichostasis spinulosa was present in some seborrheic keratoses, indicating they may partly originate from hair follicle cells.

This study found that activating CB1 receptor signaling in human hair follicles increased stem cell proliferation while reducing differentiated cell survival, suggesting CB1's role as a survival stimulus for epithelial stem cells.

This review discusses the formation and structure of the cornified cell envelope in the epidermis, highlighting biochemical pathways and genetic factors, but presents no new experimental results.

This study found that the molecular structures of α-keratin and collagen in a 2,100-year-old female cadaver's hair and tendon were preserved, while fibrous molecule aggregations were altered.

The researchers found that HOXC13 regulates different keratin proteins in a mixed manner, with certain SNPs impeding this regulation, while also demonstrating negative-feedback by HOXC13 and positive regulation by LEF1 and melatonin on the HOXC13 promoter.

This case report describes a five-year-old boy diagnosed with nevus comedonicus syndrome, a rare skin condition, characterized by asymptomatic skin lesions and a congenital cataract of the right eye, without inflammation or typical signs of related conditions.

This review discusses trichotillomania, covering its characteristics, impact, and treatment options, and reports no new findings.

This study found that the detection rate of clinically insignificant prostate cancer increases with the number of repeat prostate biopsies in patients with persistently suspicious prostate cancer.

Pili annulati is caused by a protein metabolism disorder affecting hair structure.

This study reported a previously undescribed G573V point mutation in the TRPV3 gene as a cause of familial Olmsted syndrome in a Mongolian family.

This report describes a 1949 case of a young girl with a rare congenital ectodermal defect causing unique hair fragility, which had not been previously documented in the literature.

This study suggests that programmed cell death plays a crucial role in shaping the structure of the human epidermis and its appendages during development.

This study identified a novel pathogenic splice-site variant of the LAMB3 gene in patients with junctional epidermolysis bullosa, highlighting the importance of gene sequencing for diagnosis.

This collection of reviews, edited by Ken Lukowiak and Janis Weeks, explores diverse sensory systems across species, including olfaction, echolocation, magnetoreception, and visual adaptations, without presenting new experimental results.

The article concludes that studying how skin forms is key to understanding skin diseases and improving regenerative medicine.

This case report highlights the importance of early mycological diagnostics, supported by dermoscopy and ultraviolet-enhanced fluorescence dermoscopy, in preventing scarring from kerion celsi-associated hair loss in children.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl who developed kerion celsi from an untreated scalp infection, likely contracted from a guinea pig, leading to significant hair loss and the need for a wig.

The debate focuses on the role of catagen and hair shedding mechanisms in telogen effluvium.
