This chapter reviews the role of self in disorders related to the OCD spectrum, such as hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and trichotillomania, and reports no new findings.

In this study, prenatal ultrasonography was found to be a valuable tool for screening ectodermal dysplasia during pregnancy, and a new EDA gene variant associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia was identified, aiding in more accurate diagnoses and reproductive decision-making.

This source reports a rare case of a 10-year-old child developing periorbital milia as an unusual cutaneous manifestation of chronic graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic stem cell transplantation, suggesting that immune-mediated epidermal disruption may lead to milia formation.

This case report describes a 46-year-old man who developed folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, a form of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, following renal transplantation.

This source underscores the need for a multidisciplinary effort to raise awareness of Demodex and demodicosis, suggesting that prioritizing research, diagnostics, and treatment development could enhance global health outcomes and improve quality of life for affected individuals.

In this study, KC-AD-MSCs were found to increase COL7 deposition and anchoring fibril formation at the dermal-epidermal junction in a RDEB mouse model, suggesting potential for improving skin integrity in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa patients.

In this study, human dermal fibroblasts were identified as natural host cells that support productive Merkel cell polyomavirus infection, and the MEK antagonist trametinib was introduced as an effective inhibitor to control the virus.

This case study describes a patient with rapidly progressing follicular mycosis fungoides, highlighting its unusual histology and challenges in diagnosing it against cutaneous B-cell lymphoma.

This study found that patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome had more frequent skin symptoms and lower quality of life compared to controls, suggesting the need for a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

A woman experienced excessive hair growth after using a hair loss treatment with minoxidil.

This study found that overexpression of the mineralocorticoid receptor in a mouse model led to premature epidermal barrier development, keratinocyte apoptosis, and postnatal alopecia, indicating new roles for MR signaling in skin physiology.

In this study, novel mutations in the BTD gene were identified in a patient with profound biotinidase deficiency, highlighting the importance of biotinidase activity measurement and mutation analysis for early diagnosis.

This study investigated a patient with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy who had 68 CAG repeats, revealing early onset and unique symptoms not previously documented in the condition.

In this study, conditional inactivation of the Mad2l1 SAC gene in mice led to aggressive and lethal acute lymphoblastic leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma, demonstrating a link between chromosomal instability and cancer development.

This case series found that low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may benefit some patients with trichotillomania, although one of five patients experienced worsening symptoms after treatment.

This article reviews the epidemiology of desmoplastic melanoma and reports no new clinical findings, emphasizing higher risks in chronically sun-exposed older males.

This case study reports that low-dose testosterone therapy improved libido and sexual functions in a 36-year-old fragile X carrier female with hypoactive sexual desire disorder when monitored regularly for lab parameters.

This study identified two novel point mutations in the hHb6 gene associated with monilethrix, suggesting these mutations could serve as diagnostic markers for this genetic hair disorder.

This study found that mutant Cx43 impairs fibroblast function during wound healing and reduces hair follicle cell proliferation, likely contributing to hair growth defects in ODDD patients.

Finasteride and dutasteride's effects are mainly due to target binding saturation and slow enzyme turnover.

This study found a considerable prevalence of metabolic syndrome among women with melasma, with 29.3% meeting criteria for this condition, suggesting the importance of considering metabolic factors in managing melasma and preventing related complications.

This study, involving an international panel of 16 psychodermatology experts, proposed a new classification system for psychodermatology disorders that aims to unify previous classifications and improve their management by systematizing disorders into two main categories: primary mental health disorders and primary skin disorders.

This review found that glucocorticoid corticosteroids can improve muscle strength and function in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the short term, but they are associated with significant short-term adverse effects.

This article reviews differential diagnosis approaches for 46,XY DSD, proposing a diagnostic algorithm focused on biochemical and genetic data, without presenting new clinical results.

This article discusses the surveillance and spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease in China, Singapore, and Indonesia, and reports no new results, emphasizing the need for improved prevention and management strategies.

This review discusses the diagnosis and management of acquired haemophilia and reports no new findings; the authors highlight the importance of early diagnosis to reduce mortality.

This case report describes a 6-year-old girl diagnosed with the rare concurrence of monilethrix and trichorrhexis nodosa, characterized by sparse, brittle hair, who showed minimal clinical improvement with low-dose oral and topical minoxidil treatment.

In this case report, a 16-year-old boy diagnosed with lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei showed improvement in facial granulomatous lesions with scarring after treatment with doxycycline, highlighting the potential need to explore treatment options for this condition characterized by asymptomatic papules on the central face.

In this study, researchers identified a recurrent nonsense mutation, c.409C>T (p.Arg137*), in the COL7A1 gene through whole exome sequencing in a family with autosomal recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, demonstrating the importance of this method for diagnosing genetically complex conditions.
