In this study of Bulgarian women, the waist-to-stature ratio was a better marker for an unfavorable metabolic profile than the waist-to-hip ratio among those with PCOS and obesity.

This case study describes a three-year-old girl who developed acute hepatitis and pancytopenia, potentially due to chronic use of Senna, highlighting possible liver and bone marrow toxicity.

This study found that patients with hypothyroidism and hair loss exhibited significant differences in dermoscopic findings, including hair shaft abnormalities and vascular changes, compared to euthyroid individuals.

This study found that laboratory testing practices for alopecia areata vary among international hair experts, with the majority routinely conducting thyroid function and complete blood count tests, yet exhibiting diverse approaches toward testing for other conditions or before prescribing systemic therapy.

This review discusses the role of the enzyme Δ9-desaturase-1 in skin lipid regulation and whole-body energy balance in mice and reports no new experimental results.

This study discusses the potential association between low vitamin D levels and insulin resistance, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to disorders like obesity and diabetes, but emphasizes the need for further research to confirm these links.

This study found that human follicular papilla cells in the scalp produce leptin and express functional leptin receptors, suggesting leptin's significant role in hair biology.

In this four-year study, pediatric patients with inoperable plexiform neurofibromas and type 1 neurofibromatosis treated with selumetinib frequently experienced dermatologic side effects, which required tailored management strategies and sometimes led to treatment suspension, potentially affecting tumor regrowth.

In this study, researchers observed that EGFR deficiency in the epidermis affects gene expression related to cell differentiation and structure, highlighting spatial and temporal roles of EGFR during skin and hair follicle development.

This study found that patients with RASopathies have lower serum IgA and CD8 levels compared to controls, indicating a potential risk for developing autoimmune disorders.

The researchers reported finding a recessive nonsense variant in the EGFR gene responsible for perinatal lethality in the "Blonde d'Aquitaine" cattle breed, prompting the development of a screening test to help eradicate this genetic flaw.

This study reviews the emerging role of protein S-palmitoylation in dermatology, highlighting its impact on skin functions like inflammation and barrier maintenance, and evaluating its potential as a therapeutic target for skin disorders such as alopecia and psoriasis.

This review highlights the critical role of iron in skin functions and suggests potential dermatologic therapies targeting the iron-skin axis.

The study found that while a clinical protocol showed high specificity in detecting scrapie in goats, its low sensitivity suggests many cases might be missed if diagnosis is only based on clinical signs.

This review discusses the fundamental hallmarks of aging as they relate to skin aging and highlights the prominent roles of oxidative damage and the extracellular matrix in photoaging, reporting no new results.

This study developed a hydrogel microneedle system combining ginseng-derived exosomes and biomimetic nanoparticles to address oxidative stress, inflammation, and melanocyte deficiency in vitiligo, showing significant repigmentation in mice within 3 weeks by enhancing melanocyte protection and keratinocyte proliferation.

This study reports that novel nanofibrous dressings combining polylysine and tannic acid significantly reduce bacterial burden, support wound healing, and exhibit strong anti-inflammatory effects in infected full-thickness wounds, promoting near-complete closure and skin regeneration within two weeks.

This study found that oral isotretinoin may slightly improve physician-assessed acne severity but is associated with more minor adverse effects compared to standard oral antibiotics plus topical treatment, based on low-quality evidence.

This study found that patients who recovered from COVID-19 experienced various skin, hair, and nail issues, with hair shedding being more common in those with moderate to severe cases.

This review explores the role of aging-related changes in skin, discussing how impaired skin barrier function may contribute to systemic inflammation, or "inflamm-aging," which in turn could impact the broader decline in organ and tissue function seen in aged individuals.

This review discusses the pathogenesis of melasma, including genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, and highlights potential avenues for new treatments and preventive strategies, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that fitness coaches and registered dietitians/nutritionists were the primary sources of information for bodybuilders, who showed moderate nutrition knowledge, while gender, exercise history, and sessions impacted dietary supplement use, and reported adverse effects included skin rashes and increased liver enzymes.

In this study, researchers reviewed the roles of autophagy and mitophagy in hair follicle cycles, exploring their potential links to hair loss and investigating how manipulating these pathways might offer new therapeutic strategies.

This study identified genetic mutations linked to congenital ichthyosis in families from the UAE and Turkey, revealing a connection between keratinization disorders and impaired filaggrin processing.

This study proposes reclassifying PCOS into two distinct phenotypes based on androgen levels and suggests androgen supplementation may overcome IVF resistance in one group with advancing age.

This study found that loss of the Ptch2 receptor in mice leads to increased incisor growth and enhanced mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, highlighting Ptch2's role in organ regenerative potential.

Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS are crucial to reduce health risks and costs.

This review discusses the multifaceted roles of hair follicles in skin health, including potential contributions to skin neoplasias, and reports no new results.

This review discusses the varied roles of Wnt7a in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer, reporting no clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for further investigation on its roles in inflammation and fibrosis.

This case study suggests that treatment with Pil-Food, intended for hair loss prevention, may have triggered postinfantile giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune characteristics, which showed a rapid and effective response to corticosteroid therapy.
