This report reviews peer-reviewed case studies indicating potential efficacy of ustekinumab for treating challenging forms of psoriasis but notes the need for further research on cost-effectiveness and risk-benefit.

In this study, individuals with a c.1072C > T mutation in the EDAR gene showed more hair shaft deformations compared to non-mutation carriers, highlighting EDAR's role in hair follicle development.

This article reviews the use of high-frequency ultrasonography to visualize nail units and scalps in dermatology, highlighting its potential benefits for disease assessment and treatment monitoring, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that pelage abnormalities in Harlequin mutant mice are linked to severe AIF deficiency and associated with altered expression of genes related to hair structure.

This study observed that pruritus and xerosis were the most common skin complaints among the geriatric population attending a dermatology clinic in Puducherry.

This review focuses on the various skin toxicities caused by chemotherapeutic and targeted tumor therapy drugs, including rashes, keratoacanthoma, and more severe conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome, without presenting new clinical results.

This article reviews the identification and assessment of cutaneous drug reactions, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and the need for accurate diagnosis to prevent serious complications; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, analysis of FDA data revealed a substantial risk of dermatologic adverse events with aromatase inhibitors, especially anastrozole and exemestane, highlighting the importance of dermatologic monitoring during such therapies.
