This study reported that the most common hair loss disorder among children in south-east Nigeria was tinea capitis, and its clinical course was influenced by parental attitudes towards treatment.

This report describes four trichoblastoma cases rich in Merkel cells, suggesting these tumors may mimic fetal skin development where Merkel cells are numerous.

In this case study, electron microscopy revealed that harlequin ichthyosis involves giant mitochondria in keratinocytes and abnormal lamellar granule development, which may contribute to pathogenesis through altered lipid metabolism.

This study describes molecular mechanisms explaining how sex and stress steroids rapidly modulate dendritic spine formation in hippocampal neurons, suggesting recovery-like effects under steroid-depleted conditions compared to intact conditions.

This study documents dominant transmission and complete penetrance of uncombable hair syndrome in a family, despite the father lacking visible abnormalities.

This study reported that the most common skin side effect of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors was a papulopustular rash, treatable with symptom-targeted therapies, while drug suspension was rarely needed.

This study found that serine 44 in the N-terminal head domain of keratin 17 is phosphorylated in response to various stimuli affecting skin keratinocyte growth, linking K17 up-regulation with growth and stress responses in skin epithelium.

This paper discusses hormonal therapy options for women with severe acne, focusing on treatment for cases that do not respond to conventional methods, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses hypersensitivity reactions to anticoagulants like ASA and heparins, highlighting their rare but potentially life-threatening nature, and emphasizes the need for meticulous allergy testing to find safe alternatives.

This case report describes instances of lipedematous scalp and lipedematous alopecia in white adults, indicating these rare conditions may be more widespread and frequent in this population than previously thought.

This study found that combined topical, intralesional, and oral corticosteroids led to significant hair regrowth in some patients with alopecia totalis or universalis, allowing eventual cessation of oral corticosteroids in several cases.

This study found that low levels of SHBG and testosterone were associated with higher mortality in men with severe COVID-19.

This study found that reproductive gynecologists are the primary source of referrals for male infertility evaluations, with many men referred before completing a male factor investigation even when using assisted reproductive technologies or lifestyle factors like testosterone replacement.

This study observed that 71% of chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors experienced adverse cutaneous reactions, which were generally less severe than those caused by imatinib.

This case series describes Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli in five Indian patients, suggesting it may be more common than currently reported.

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.

This article reviews androgen insensitivity syndrome and highlights the factors contributing to phenotypic diversity in 46,XY patients with AR gene mutations, reporting no new clinical results.

This study characterized proteins in hair-follicle and hair tissue, identifying similar protein types but with notable quantitative differences, which may reveal aspects of keratin protein synthesis.

This case report describes successful CO2 ablation treatment of porokeratotic adnexal ostial nevus in an 8-year-old boy, with marked improvement over a 12-year follow-up.

This case report highlights the importance of considering hair-thread tourniquet syndrome as a potential diagnosis for girls with genital swelling and pain, emphasizing the need for prompt intervention.

This article discusses arsenic trioxide as a treatment for refractory or relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia, noting its effectiveness and manageable side effects.

This review examines primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, focusing on how healthcare providers can recognize and manage these conditions in children; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that follicular tight junctions in porcine skin form a barrier to nanoparticle penetration, particularly in upper regions, which supports its use as a model for human skin.

This article reviews the effects of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors for treating conditions like male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting significant DHT reduction but reports no new clinical results.

This study reviewed literature from 1992 to 2018 to document mesotherapy-related complications and their management, concluding that standardized therapy parameters are needed to better evaluate the safety profile and minimize risks of adverse reactions.

In this study, researchers analyzed social media data to assess the comparative safety of arthritis medications, finding increased odds of herpes zoster and perforated bowel with certain therapies. Social media posts expressed more safety concerns than favorable opinions about drug safety.

This study found that teriflunomide, an oral medication taken once daily, significantly slowed disability progression in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, supported by positive results in two Phase III trials and supplemented by various analyses including long-term studies and patient-reported outcomes.

This report from the National Registry of Drug-Induced Ocular Side Effects identifies 56 cases of alopecia associated with the use of topical ophthalmic β-blockers.
