This study found that during the early pandemic months of 2020, there was a significant increase in dermatological conditions linked to stress and behavioral changes compared to the same period in 2019.

This review discusses the potential efficacy and applications of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology, highlighting its use in various skin conditions but reporting no new clinical results; the authors call for standardization of preparation and treatment methods.

This review discusses biotin's role in nutrition and suggests no benefit to supplementing it for hair, nails, and skin in healthy individuals; it reports preliminary findings that high dosages may help some multiple sclerosis patients.

This article reviews the history and medical literature on minoxidil, highlighting its approved topical use for hair disorders like androgenic alopecia and potential new applications, such as in yellow nail syndrome and vitiligo treatment alongside phototherapy.

In this study, researchers developed an AI-powered platform called VitaDetect, which screens for vitamin deficiencies using image analysis of nails, tongue, and skin, aiming to provide an accessible and early-stage detection tool in resource-limited settings.

This source reports that biotin, a water-soluble vitamin B7, may benefit skin, hair, and nail health, including various types of alopecia, without the risk of hypervitaminosis even at high doses.

This study found that the SBN system effectively evaluates and describes the severity and clinical variant of alopecia areata using a standardized scale, aiding in patient management and disease course prediction.

This case report describes a 56-year-old male with chronic watery diarrhea, hyperpigmentation, and alopecia, in whom colonoscopy revealed multiple polypoidal lesions from the distal transverse colon to the rectum.

This study evaluated the prevalence and pattern of skin disorders in patients with chronic kidney disease, observing various dermatological issues that may impact quality of life and suggesting treatments to reduce morbidity.

This study identified novel mutations associated with ectodermal dysplasias in Pakistani families, including a missense mutation in the KRTHB5 gene linked to pure hair-nail ectodermal dysplasias and mutations in the EDAR gene related to hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

In this study using ex vivo porcine ear skin, researchers found that standard nail varnish applied gently creates effective follicular closures, preventing penetration of certain substances like fluorescein sodium salt and caffeine into hair follicles, whereas solvent-free varnish and rapid application techniques were less effective.

This review presents the top 10 research priorities for hair loss management (excluding alopecia areata) as identified by a Hair Loss Priority Setting Partnership aimed at guiding future studies important to patients and clinicians.

In this study, all 26 patients with epidermolysis bullosa were found to have extensive dental caries, with various dental and oral complications varying by EB type, due in part to inadequate oral care and associated physical limitations.
