COVID-19 can cause different types of hair loss, with telogen effluvium being the most common.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

In this study, xerosis was the most common skin condition found among elderly participants, followed by wrinkling and immunoglobulin heavy chain deposition.

This review focuses on coumarin analogs with potential antibreast cancer activities but reports no new clinical results, highlighting their mechanisms of action and structure-activity relationships.

This study found that combining cyproterone acetate with testosterone enanthate was highly effective in suppressing spermatogenesis, suggesting potential as a reversible male contraceptive method.

In this retrospective study, cyproterone acetate treatment in late-pubertal trans-girls was found to be generally safe and led to mild feminizing effects, with more rapid feminization occurring when combined with estrogens.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia had deficiencies in certain trace elements and vitamins, which were linked to distinct patterns of hair loss connected to androgen levels.

This study found that zinc acetate hydrate may improve fatigue and hair loss symptoms in post-COVID-19 patients.

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.

This article notes the lack of US prevalence data for primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecias due to the recent introduction of subtype-specific ICD-10 codes and highlights the importance of early diagnosis for hair preservation.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

In this study, LC-OCT imaging was found to noninvasively identify specific features of cicatricial alopecia due to lupus erythematosus, such as hyperreflective collagen fibers, which may aid in distinguishing it from other types of scarring alopecia.

This article discusses the diagnostic challenges between certain neonatal scalp conditions and highlights the potential of line-field confocal optical coherence tomography to provide detailed, non-invasive skin examination, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article describes the development and validation of a standardized instrument for measuring skin involvement in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, aiming to aid future clinical research and trials.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.

In this study, LC-OCT was used to distinguish between subtypes of scarring alopecia, laying the groundwork for further hypotheses and future research in larger and longitudinal studies to examine treatment responses.

This study observed that Black women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia had a higher prevalence of uterine leiomyomas compared to those with lichen planopilaris, suggesting a potential association between the conditions.

In this study, a topical application of Lotus corniculatus seed extract significantly reduced sebum production and skin oiliness in humans through inhibition of lipid synthesis pathways.

This article reviews insights into the pathogenesis of primary cicatricial alopecias, such as lichen planopilaris, provided by emerging technologies, but it does not report new clinical results.

This study concluded that removing alopecia and mucous membrane components from the CLASI-A score limits the ability to capture crucial clinical information about cutaneous lupus erythematosus activity, recommending their retention.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography correlates well with histopathological and dermoscopic findings in alopecia areata, suggesting it could be a useful diagnostic and monitoring tool for the condition.

This case study reports that a 35-year-old woman developed nonscarring alopecia following the cosmetic use of poly-L-lactic acid on her face and hairline.

In this study, researchers found that CCCA in women of African descent is associated with molecular changes, including dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism and fibrosis pathways, suggesting potential targets for new treatments.

In this study, the researchers observed significant metabolic dysregulation in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, particularly involving lipid metabolism and the downregulation of AMPK-related genes.

Metabolic issues may trigger lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia, and treatments targeting these issues could help.

In this study, researchers found that the pCLCA2 protein is expressed in specific areas of pig skin, but its role in skin structure or function remains unclear.

This study found that Lactobacillus acidophilus cell-free supernatant caused significant cytotoxicity, reduced migratory ability, and induced apoptosis in cervical cancer cell lines, suggesting its potential as a non-toxic adjunct therapy for cervical cancer.

This study introduced laser-assisted exosome delivery and observed early signs of clinical improvement in two patients, though causality cannot be inferred from these preliminary, uncontrolled cases.

This study demonstrated that litifilimab significantly reduced disease activity in cutaneous lupus erythematosus by Week 16, with improvements most notable in sunlight-exposed skin areas.

This case report discusses a 58-year-old female diagnosed with oral lichen sclerosus, an extremely rare form of the disorder, which improved following treatment with topical and intralesional corticosteroids, highlighting the importance of recognizing this rare condition in the oral mucosa.
