In this case report, a 38-year-old woman with Parry–Romberg syndrome displayed left-sided facial atrophy and subclinical central nervous system involvement detectable by neuroimaging, suggesting that even symptom-free cases may benefit from systematic brain evaluations.

This chapter reviews various mucocutaneous manifestations of endocrine disorders and provides illustrative images of these clinical features, but reports no new research findings.

This review discusses the dermatologic symptoms associated with severe eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa and how they can aid in early diagnosis, without reporting new results.

This study found that mice lacking myelin protein zero-like 3 (Mpzl3) had reduced body weight and adiposity despite increased food intake, which was linked to higher energy expenditure and improved glycemic control.

This study found that severe zinc deficiency induced in weanling rats led to growth retardation, hair issues, and dermal lesions, all of which were completely reversed by zinc supplementation.

This study found that nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal abnormalities are uncommon in children with ichthyosis and growth failure, suggesting chronic hypovolemia may be more prevalent in this group.

This study found that 69.89% of patients with metabolic syndrome attending primary healthcare in Gurupi, Brazil, exhibited dermatological manifestations, with morbid obesity strongly linked to these skin changes.

This study identified significant correlations between self-esteem, psychiatric symptoms, and health-related quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients.

This study highlights the use of data mining techniques to identify malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies contributing to global health burdens, but it presents no new research findings.

This study suggests that inhibiting PKC, similar to rapamycin treatment, can extend lifespan and reduce neurological symptoms and inflammation in mice with mitochondrial dysfunction, potentially involving the mTORC2 pathway.

This study found that newborn mice deprived of colostrum developed disorders linked to zinc deficiency, and administering inorganic zinc prevented these conditions.

The authors reviewed the mechanisms behind Kennedy's disease, noting advances in therapeutic strategies such as androgen deprivation and gene silencing that may soon expand treatment options for this incurable neuromuscular condition.

In this study, a mouse model with a PIK3CA gain-of-function mutation in Schwann cells revealed unique communication with neighboring cells and a glycolytic shift in peripheral nerves, and early alpelisib treatment significantly improved symptoms, though efficacy declined with delayed administration due to limited drug penetration.

The authors concluded that liver transplantation in children with propionic acidemia can reduce the risk of metabolic decompensation and enhance quality of life, although some metabolic issues may persist.

This study documented a case of an 11-month-old with PKU who developed acrodermatitis enteropathica-like symptoms due to severe phenylalanine deficiency, requiring dietary adjustment to restore phenylalanine levels.

In this case study, zinc deficiency persisted despite supplementation in a patient with severe malnutrition and empyema, potentially due to nutrient absorption competition and proton pump inhibitor use.

This case report documents a rare fatal instance of Rapunzel syndrome in a child, highlighting the use of postmortem CT and MRI to reveal trichobezoar-related bowel obstructions and perforations as the cause of death.

This case study describes a 54-year-old woman with a rare pattern of asymmetrical hair loss resembling androgenetic alopecia, alongside sparse body hair and near absence of eyebrows and eyelashes, while other ectodermal features were normal.

This study found that mitochondrial dysfunction in T cells led to defective hair follicle stem cell function and premature skin aging signs in a mouse model.

This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with obesity who was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism, leading to myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and bradycardia. Following treatment with IV levothyroxine and liothyronine, his symptoms improved, and he achieved significant weight loss over five months.

This case report details an unusual instance of multiple eruptive milia in an otherwise healthy 3-month-old baby, characterized by widespread distribution and believed to be idiopathic due to the absence of associated genodermatoses.

In this case report, the rapid clinical improvement of a 2-month-old rescued kitten with severe malnutrition-related ascites after nutritional intervention highlights the importance of nutritional assessment in diagnosing ascites in young felines.

This paper discusses the health benefits and cultivation of new beta-carotene-rich antioxidant maize varieties released by the Ministry of Agriculture, noting their potentially higher yields compared to ordinary corn.

In this study, zinc supplementation rapidly improved conditions such as anorexia, depression, and foot soreness in sheep and goats diagnosed with zinc deficiency, along with healing skin lesions and resumption of hair and wool growth.

This study found that oxidative damage is present in the mitochondria of PolG mice, which exhibit premature aging-like phenotypes due to mitochondrial dysfunction.

In this animal study, pigs on a biotin-deficient diet showed significant hair loss, weak and brittle claws, and skin lesions after 8–10 weeks, with tissue necrosis observed microscopically after 15 weeks.

This study observed that maize plants, including a root hairless mutant variety, did not exhibit typical root growth or compensatory foraging behavior under severe boron deficiency in soil, indicating atypical responses compared to other plants.

This case report describes a 7-year-old female from the Middle East with monilethrix, highlighting the disease's rarity in this population, characterized by brittle, sparse hair and keratosis pilaris.

In this study, researchers assessed magnesium intake in women aged 40 to 65 across urban Bangalore, finding it below the Recommended Dietary Allowance and noting deficiencies associated with symptoms like hair loss and muscle cramps. Biochemical assessment was recommended to confirm these findings.

This study assessed nutritional status in residents of geriatric homes in Al-Furat Al-Awusat, finding that the majority were overweight and lacked routine vitamin and mineral intake.
