This report highlights a case of possible association between myotonic dystrophy type 1 and basal cell carcinoma, urging clinicians to consider this link despite negative genetic testing for known hereditary BCC syndromes.

This case report highlights a 31-year-old male with Adult Onset Still Disease, whose symptoms, including high fever, responded only to pulse-therapy with Methylprednisolone after failing to improve with usual treatments.

This study reports that newly diagnosed patients with Bachmann-Bupp syndrome exhibit a broader phenotype than previously documented, including late-onset seizures, and suggests a possible universal biochemical mechanism involving elevated ODC activity.

This case study reports that a 26-year-old woman with epidermolysis bullosa prurogompsa also presented with unique findings of co-existing muscular dystrophy and immune-based myasthenia gravis, with significant improvement following steroid treatment.

In this pilot study, no significant differences were observed between memantine and placebo groups in young adults with Down syndrome on the primary memory outcomes, but some improvement was noted in a secondary measure.

This case study of a 2-month-old boy with maple syrup urine disease highlights the dangers of restricting branched-chain amino acid intake, as it led to acrodermatitis dysmetabolica-like skin eruptions and hair loss, later resolved with careful dietary adjustments and monitoring.

This case report presents the first Russian patient with Meier-Gorlin syndrome 5, expanding clinical understanding through the identification of two novel CDC6 gene variants.

In this case report, a rare occurrence of Paraneoplastic Dermatomyositis following breast cancer was observed in a 50-year-old woman, indicating the importance of multidisciplinary approaches for identifying underlying malignancies when Dermatomyositis presents as a primary symptom.

This study found that nanobubble-encapsulated diclofenac with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (DNBs-UTMD) can enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of Doxil® by regulating the tumor immune microenvironment, improving drug uptake, and increasing T cell responses while reducing immune-suppressive cells in the process.

This review summarizes treatments for scalp involvement in dermatomyositis and suggests that therapies like low-dose naltrexone and platelet-rich plasma may warrant further investigation, although evidence remains limited.

This scoping review aims to map existing literature on alopecia associated with multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies, exploring types, incidence, and potential mechanisms, while noting that observed cases may be related more to treatment-induced immune changes than the disease itself.

This case study describes a 4-year-old boy with juvenile dermatomyositis whose severe subcutaneous edema resisted conventional treatment, necessitating aggressive immunosuppression for disease control.

This study identified novel mutations in the DSG4 gene in a Japanese patient with monilethrix, affecting protein interactions that may disrupt hair shaft structure.

This report presents a rare case of a patient with type Wong dermatomyositis who also exhibits clinical and histologic features of porokeratosis, potentially signaling associated malignancies in dermatomyositis patients.

This study found that patients with myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2 often exhibit skin abnormalities, which correlate with genotype severity and serum vitamin D levels, and suggest premature aging.

In this case report, a woman in her 50s was diagnosed with meningitis linked to mixed connective tissue disease after presenting symptoms similar to infectious meningitis, but with no infection detected and serological evidence pointing to the autoimmune condition.

This study identified a heterozygous de novo mutation in the ODC1 gene causing a new disorder characterized by overgrowth and developmental delay, and suggests that DFMO treatment may help manage elevated ODC activity and putrescine levels.

This review highlights PRF's potential as a regenerative medicine tool, detailing its diverse applications in dentistry, orthopedics, and dermatology, but presents no new clinical results.

In this study, low concentrations of DMSO were found to decrease androgen receptor expression and inhibit the migration of prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential as an anticancer therapy.

In this case study, DDS treatment for LABD was complicated by hemolytic anemia and alopecia, suggesting the need for careful monitoring of these potential side effects.

This study suggests that for dermatomyositis patients with minimal skin disease activity, further improvement in cutaneous symptoms may not translate into better quality of life, highlighting a need to revise trial endpoints.

This study found that Msx2-deficient mice exhibit skull and bone formation defects similar to those seen in human MSX2-related conditions, highlighting the gene's importance in skeletal and organ development.

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 study reported that intensive immunosuppression in multiple sclerosis patients significantly reduced relapse rates versus pre-treatment expectations, though some required ongoing treatment after tapering.

This review discusses the mechanisms, uses, and side effects of conventional synthetic DMARDs, particularly methotrexate, for rheumatoid arthritis, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that videodermoscopic assessments of dermatomyositis patients revealed specific vascular and pigmentary features, suggesting it may be useful for preliminary diagnosis.

This study reports that the microneedle therapy system has demonstrated significant effects on acne, acne scars, and hair loss treatment without serious side effects in Korean studies over the past decade.

This report discusses a 22-year-old patient with MELAS syndrome carrying the m.10158T>C mutation, and highlights the need for extensive genetic testing when initial hot-spot mutation tests are negative.

This study focused on the ultrastructural and immunohistochemical aspects of dermal mast cells in systemic mastocytosis and their interaction with the epidermal melanin unit.

This case report highlights a female patient with familial partial lipodystrophy who showed significant improvement in liver stiffness after starting leptin replacement therapy.
