This study found that treatment with finasteride in fetal sheep reduced the protective neurosteroid allopregnanolone, leading to increased cell death in the hippocampus following induced fetal asphyxia.

This case study reports a two and a half-month-old with biotinidase deficiency who showed rapid seizure improvement with biotin treatment after presenting with convulsions and neurological symptoms.

A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.

This case report describes a 7-year-old boy with medulloblastoma who developed central precocious puberty, potentially triggered by the mass effect of the tumor, which was managed with leuprolide.

This study describes synchronous neonatal telogen effluvium as a physiological phenomenon where newborns exhibit a hair band of rarefaction in the occipital region, not caused by sleeping position.

This case report indicates that retinoblastoma can occur in a microphthalmic eye and recommends using multiple imaging techniques due to potential differences in calcification visibility.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, suggesting that Penicillium may have been the causative agent.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

This report of a rare case describes cutis verticis gyrate secondary to cerebriform intradermal nevus, emphasizing individualized treatment plans based on patient preference and condition severity.

In this study, researchers found that adult tinea capitis in Korea shows unique epidemiological and clinical features compared to children, which may lead to misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

This study found that oral administration of finasteride to pregnant rats caused dosage-related developmental toxicities, including hypospadias and decreased anogenital distance in male offspring.

This case study reports that a 9-year-old Nepalese boy with tinea capitis successfully recovered with systemic antifungal therapy, though experienced focal alopecia without recurrence at a two-year follow-up.

This study suggests that prenatal genetic diagnosis of MELAS syndrome using amniotic cells may not reliably predict fetal outcomes due to phenotypic diversity observed in siblings with similar levels of mutant mtDNA.

In this case study, treatment with terbinafine effectively resolved symptoms of tinea capitis in an eight-year-old male, highlighting trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic tool for this common fungal scalp infection and proposing its integration with clinical data for quicker diagnosis in settings lacking mycological facilities.

This study suggests that hair loss was a metabolic adaptation allowing hominids to evolve larger brains by alleviating dietary restrictions on essential amino acids for hair and brain development.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

This study found that neonatal finasteride treatment in male rats altered hippocampal GABAA receptor subunit expression and led to increased anxiety-like behavior in response to progesterone in adulthood.

Finasteride use during early pregnancy may cause limb deformities in babies.

This retrospective review of hair samples from pediatric patients indicated that microscopic hair examination might be a useful first-line investigation for diagnosing various genetic conditions.

A rare fungal infection caused hair loss in a North American infant.

This case report highlights tinea faciei as a potential diagnosis for vesicular lesions in neonates, suggesting its consideration over more invasive diagnostics for similar presentations.

In this report, a preterm neonate was found to have total irreversible hair loss due to congenital atrichia, confirmed by a mutation in the human hairless gene on chromosome 8p22, illustrating this rare autosomal recessive disorder.

This case report describes a unique instance of an otherwise healthy infant with phylloid terminal hair nevus, a form of hypomelanosis without extracutaneous abnormalities.

A 2-year-old boy has a rare hair disorder causing brittle hair and hair loss, which may improve with age.

The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.

This case report describes fetal malformations and placental abnormalities in a pregnant woman who applied minoxidil topically, suggesting potential risks of its use during pregnancy.

In this case report, a 75-year-old woman with a giant pilomatrixoma was found to have anemia and delirium, and her speech issues were later associated with schizophrenia.

The baby’s hair loss was due to a rare genetic condition, not treatable by usual methods.

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 study identified a novel CDH3 mutation associated with sparse hair and pigmentary macular changes in two siblings with hypotrichosis but no visual symptoms.
