This study examined various hair and scalp diseases in children and found that seborrheic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium were the most common, with prevalence varying by age and gender.

This study concluded that male mice are more susceptible to valproic acid-induced autism spectrum disorder than female mice, with noticeable differences in brain histoarchitecture and receptor protein levels.

This review discusses the clinical phenotypes of primary mitochondrial cytopathies linked to significant genetic defects in mitochondrial DNA, reporting no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for differential diagnosis.

This case report describes a 60-year-old man with a rare 46, XX karyotype who presented with cerebellar infarct and polycythaemia, leading to further endocrine investigations after adrenal gland enlargement was found.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with temporal triangular alopecia, emphasizing the importance of clinical and dermoscopic examination for correct diagnosis due to the condition's rarity and risk of misdiagnosis.

In this case report, researchers described a female child with total alopecia due to a mutation in the SNRPE gene, emphasizing the need for updated genetic testing as knowledge advances to avoid diagnostic delays in hereditary nonsyndromic hypotrichosis.

In this case study, a 68-year-old woman was diagnosed with central diabetes insipidus and hypothalamic hypopituitarism due to a Rathke's cleft cyst.

In a mouse model, this study found that exposure to PM2.5 leads to significant postpartum hair loss, apparent via morphological changes and elevated markers of inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, potentially exacerbated by changes in hormone receptors and stem cell populations.

This case report describes a 10-month-old boy with dermatitis, alopecia, and hypotonia who showed dramatic improvement with oral biotin, suggesting a possible defect in biotin absorption or transport.

This case report highlights the rare occurrence of life-threatening aplastic anemia in a 65-year-old woman treated with temozolomide for glioblastoma multiforme, emphasizing the need for more frequent blood monitoring to detect severe bone marrow suppression early.

This study identified and described a new form of alopecia termed "macular alopecia," predominantly affecting young Hispanic/Latinx females, characterized by small macules on the scalp with a high rate (63%) of spontaneous resolution in about five months.

In this study, finasteride pretreatment led to EEG changes in rats that suggest a mild reduction in thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

In this case study, researchers described a 7-year-old girl with non-scarring alopecia marked by unique clinical features, likely due to congenital triangular alopecia, and planned a hair follicle transplant to enhance her quality of life.

This article discusses tinea capitis, highlighting its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and the importance of selecting treatment based on the causal agent for effective outcomes; it reports no new clinical results.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This case report describes an adult patient with tinea capitis due to Microsporum canis who experienced complete hair regrowth following treatment with fluconazole and ketoconazole shampoo.

This study developed simulated skull models and a method to assess programming tool movements, selecting three models as most clinically relevant for hydrocephalus shunt valve programming.

In this case report, researchers identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in the MBTPS2 gene associated with the mild form of IFAP syndrome in a 7-year-old boy.

This case report describes a giant pigmented tumor of the scalp in a 47-year-old woman and suggests a possible dual origin involving neural crest differentiation.

This paper discusses tinea capitis in adults, emphasizing that it particularly affects postmenopausal African American or Black women, and notes challenges in treatment due to antifungal resistance.

This review discusses current knowledge of isolated premature pubarche in infants and reports no new findings, highlighting it as a mild, self-limiting condition that necessitates exclusion of serious causes.

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 paper highlights a case where a 2-year-old boy with temporal triangular alopecia was initially misdiagnosed with alopecia areata, emphasizing the importance of dermoscopy for accurate early diagnosis to avoid unnecessary treatments.

This study suggests that estimating autism likelihood as early as one month after birth may enable more precise early intervention for children with developmental support needs, potentially improving diagnosis, workflows, and reducing service wait times.

This study identified CCCA in 10 children of African descent, highlighting the occurrence of this scarring alopecia in patients under 18 and the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This case report describes a successful outcome for a fetus with a neck mass attributed to unnecessary maternal PTU treatment for transient hyperthyroidism, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis and careful management.

This case report describes four patients with hypertrichosis cubiti and short stature, but could not determine a genetic link between hypertrichosis cubiti and skeletal dysplasia.

This case report describes an instance of autosomal recessive uncombable hair syndrome caused by maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 1.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.
