This review discusses the clinical and trichoscopic features of lichen planopilaris and notes its potential underdiagnosis prior to hair transplant, but it reports no new findings.

This case report details the ocular complications of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome in a 20-year-old Bangladeshi patient, highlighting symptoms like dry eyes, Meibomian gland dysfunction, and cataracts.

This source explains that Equine Cushing’s disease, or PPID, in horses is due to the degeneration of brain cells producing dopamine, leading to elevated cortisol levels and characteristic symptoms; it outlines diagnosis methods and emphasizes life-long pergolide treatment to manage the condition.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy with uncombable hair syndrome-like hair changes that resolved spontaneously after 9 months, with genetic analysis revealing a PLCD1 gene variant.

This study found that dermatoses are common in people living with HIV and may serve as indicators of disease stage, with certain conditions more prevalent when CD4+ counts are below 200/mm³.

This case report describes a patient with lupus nephritis coexisting with discoid lupus erythematosus and vitiligo, noting improvement in proteinuria and DLE lesions following treatment, while vitiligo lesions persisted.

This study observed that dalpiciclib is associated with fewer adverse events like diarrhea and hepatotoxicity compared to other CDK4/6 inhibitors, potentially offering better patient-perceived safety and quality of life.

This study found that diagnosing non-classical 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency solely based on elevated serum or urinary 5-ene-steroids may not be reliable.

This review covers the history, symptoms, and treatment progress for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, noting that while no cure exists, understanding its molecular mechanism may improve future treatment strategies.

This study found that transfecting keratinocytes with the 1α-OHase gene enhances local production of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, suggesting a potential new therapy for skin conditions like psoriasis without causing hypercalcemia or resistance.

In this study, researchers found a significant relationship between mid-luteal progesterone levels and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in infertile patients, suggesting that about 20 ng/mL of vitamin D may be necessary to trigger ovulation or support progesterone secretion.

This research found that Leydig cells significantly rely on synthesizing omega-6 HUFAs to support male steroid hormone production, highlighting a new role for these fatty acids in the male reproductive system.

This abstract discusses the dermatological symptoms associated with hepatitis C virus infections but reports no new research findings.

This study reported that testosterone levels over 150 ng/dL combined with lack of testosterone suppression during a low-dose dexamethasone suppression test may indicate androgen-producing tumors, though this wasn't consistent across all cases.

This case study reported that a 51-year-old woman with hirsutism and voice thickening had a Leydig cell tumor detected by PET-CT, which normalized hormone levels and resolved symptoms after surgical removal.

This study found that brothers of women with PCOS exhibit elevated DHEAS levels, indicating a potential familial genetic trait, but did not show increased rates of premature balding.

This study reports that metreleptin treatment in a boy with congenital generalized lipodystrophy significantly improved metabolic complications and overall health outcomes during the first year of therapy.

This study found a novel R430Q gene mutation in hHb6, which may be linked to the hereditary hair disorder monilethrix in the examined family.

This study found that combined intense pulsed light and low-level light therapy significantly improved ocular surface outcomes and quality of life for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye disease.

This report describes a patient with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia who lacked the usual hair growth issues, highlighting the challenge of diagnosing this condition due to atypical presentations and underscoring the need for awareness to improve management and future planning.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher triglyceride and fasting glucose levels in obese individuals and higher total cholesterol levels in non-obese individuals compared to healthy women.

This guideline provides recommendations for prescribing systemic testosterone to women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, emphasizing safe dosing, monitoring, and the need for informed consent despite regulatory challenges.

In this study, researchers found that in mouse models of alopecia areata, the expression of immune-regulating molecules PD-L1 and PD-L2 in dermal fibroblasts is increased by activated T cells, potentially indicating a lack of negative immune control in affected skin.

This study observed that children with a genetically transmitted defect in the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor experienced spontaneous healing of rickets as they aged, despite persistent mineral imbalances during treatment.

This study successfully developed and characterized a monospecific monoclonal antibody, LHTric-1, that specifically localizes to the pre-cortical region of the hair follicle and can aid research on hair and nail formation.

This case report details a 73-year-old woman with significant hirsutism and hair loss linked to a rare ovarian Leydig cell tumor, which was resolved by bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, normalizing her testosterone levels and addressing her symptoms.

This case report describes a postmenopausal woman with androgenic alopecia and progressive hirsutism who, despite normal imaging, had significantly elevated testosterone due to a Leydig cell tumor, revealed after surgical exploration; the condition improved post-surgery, underscoring the importance of considering such tumors in similar presentations.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

This study reports that mutations in human L-PGDS affect the entrance and exit of ligands in its binding cavity, suggesting these residues play a role in ligand interaction processes.
