This report describes three cases of hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita occurring after cytotoxic chemotherapy for cancer, suggesting a possible relationship which is discussed alongside a review of existing literature.

This study found that while vitamin D deficiency is not the sole cause of alopecia areata, it may worsen the disease, suggesting supplementation could help in pediatric cases.

This study found that there was a significant discrepancy between histopathological examination and clinical diagnosis in alopecia cases, while vitamin D levels were not significantly associated with alopecia.

This case report details an occurrence of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease during pegylated interferon-α2b and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C.

This study indicated a correlation between female pattern hair loss and decreased serum levels of Vitamin D3, suggesting that Vitamin D3 evaluation may be important in managing this condition.

This study described an Appenzeller Mountain Dog with clinical signs of an NSDHL defect, discovering a large heterozygous de novo deletion spanning the entire NSDHL gene through whole genome sequencing.

This review categorizes 59 modifications of the Dermatology Life Quality Index across multiple studies, highlighting the need for further validation of these customized health-related quality of life tools in dermatology.

This study found that treatment with leuprolide plus cyclic estrogen/progestin may lead to a faster and greater improvement in hirsutism compared to a standard oral contraceptive regimen.

The abstract highlights that lichen planus can manifest as cicatricial alopecia or lichen planopilaris, while discoid lupus erythematosus, a common form of lupus erythematosus, typically causes scarring alopecia. Results are not reported here.

This study observed that finasteride treatment induced mild improvement in androgenetic alopecia in one male patient while stabilizing the condition in another, but lipedematous scalp remained unchanged.

In this study, baricitinib treatment improved the differentiation of skin-derived precursors into adipocytes for diseases like Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, suggesting potential benefits when combined with lonafarnib.

Hair loss may be linked to cardiovascular health problems.

This case report details the first known instance of interferon-induced lichen planus in a seronegative HCV patient with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism, potential underlying mechanisms, and various therapeutic approaches without providing new clinical results, and emphasizes the need for further research on well-defined patient groups.

This study observed that hyperprolactinemia in women may be associated with skin and hair symptoms similar to those induced by androgens, suggesting hormone level evaluations in such cases.

This case report details a 21-year-old woman with dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis, presenting with generalized reticulate hyperpigmentation, diffuse noncicatricial alopecia, onychodystrophy, palmoplantar keratoderma, and poorly developed dermatoglyphics.

In this NIH study, female donor to male recipient sex mismatch was significantly associated with the development of vitiligo and/or alopecia areata in patients with chronic graft-vs-host disease.

This review discusses how the HSD3B1(1245C) genotype may impact androgen physiology and the progression of castration-resistant prostate cancer, and does not report new experimental results.

This study suggests that cultured hair follicle dermal sheath cup cells exhibit immune privilege properties, partly through the expression of PD-L1, which impacts co-cultured immune cells' behavior.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

Discoid lupus erythematosus involves immune activation and fibrosis around hair follicles, with shared pathways across humans, dogs, and mice, suggesting potential treatments for both humans and animals.

This case study reports significant improvement in severe atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata symptoms in a patient treated with dupilumab, highlighting the potential for patient selection in optimizing therapeutic outcomes.

This study found that the absence of unliganded vitamin D receptor significantly impairs cWnt and hedgehog signaling pathways necessary for hair cycle initiation in VDR-null mice.

This review discusses the consensus reached by international experts on guidelines for prescribing and monitoring low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss, and reports no new clinical results.

HDAC1 is crucial for skin development and preventing tumors.

This case report discusses a patient with VHL-associated paraganglioma, highlighting the importance of genetic testing and monitoring in those with VHL disease, due to high mutation penetrance and associated risks.

In this study, patients with female pattern hair loss had significantly lower serum levels of vitamin D and ferritin, which could be risk factors for the condition's development.

This review discusses the range and causes of adipose tissue diseases, emphasizing genetic and acquired forms of lipodystrophy, but it reports no new clinical results.

Shiny white structures in trichoscopy can indicate long-standing discoid lupus erythematosus alopecia.

This study found that individuals with alopecia areata had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, and lower vitamin D levels were associated with more severe hair loss.
