In this case study, administration of prednisolone and Bactrim for a woman with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome led to the cessation of diarrhea, increased serum protein, and improvement in hyperpigmentation and hair regrowth.

This study found that paracellular transport significantly contributes to the intestinal permeability of minoxidil, suggesting its limited suitability as a Biopharmaceutics Classification System reference drug due to potential variability.

In this case report, an 18-year-old Vietnamese female with primary amenorrhea and normal female phenotype was most likely diagnosed with müllerian agenesis, highlighting its association with embryologic underdevelopment of the müllerian duct.

This review discusses Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, highlighting a relatively mild case and suggesting that it may be a more benign and possibly reversible condition with treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that inducing a leaky gut in mice led to increased gut permeability and decreased expression of protective genes, suggesting a potential link to alopecia areata.

This article shares a case of Satoyoshi syndrome that was misdiagnosed as vitamin D-dependent rickets for several years.

This study found that Malassezia globosa, a scalp-associated fungus linked to dandruff, grows with saturated but not unsaturated fatty acids, potentially causing unsaturated fatty acid accumulation on the scalp and triggering dandruff-like flaking in susceptible individuals.

This article reports a case of trichothiodystrophy in a 7-year-old girl with sulfur deficiency in her hair, characterized by sparse, slow-growing hair and distinctive tiger tail banding under microscopy.

This review discusses various metabolic and vitamin disorders affecting hair structure, including Menkes' syndrome, arginosuccinicaciduria, and recent findings on vitamin-related alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome treated with DFMO showed improvements in hair growth, muscle tone, and development.

This case report describes a young female with pediatric SLE and latent TB who was found to have gastrointestinal tuberculosis, a rarely recognized and often misdiagnosed condition, highlighting the diagnostic challenges and need for early recognition in such cases.

This case report describes a 23-year-old man with scurvy, characterized by perifollicular hemorrhages, gum disease, and other symptoms due to a diet low in fresh fruits and vegetables.

This case report describes a 40-year-old man with four autoimmune diseases leading to MAS, and suggests an additional classification category for MAS including autoimmune hypothyroidism, alopecia universalis, celiac disease, and immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

This case report suggests that increased dietary calcium from alfalfa may have contributed to zinc deficiency in two adult female goats by blocking zinc absorption.

In this report, a 35-year-old patient with beta thalassemia experienced thyroid dysfunction following repeated blood transfusions, highlighting that such disorders are common among transfused thalassemia patients.

This study characterized hair from a patient with a ribosomopathy and identified distinct differences, including reduced hair thickness and lipid content, compared to family members.

This source reports that Malassezia restricta appears more abundantly in fecal samples and may be associated with intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, but is also found in healthy contexts; future research could inform targeted therapies.

This study found that untreated men with coeliac disease exhibited androgen resistance, potentially linked to sexual dysfunction, which improved as intestinal health improved, a pattern not observed in other chronic illnesses.

This case report demonstrates a strong association between protein-losing enteropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, with symptoms and conditions improving with prednisolone treatment.
