Among elderly individuals attending a dermatology department, this study found that common skin conditions were wrinkles, xerosis, and seborrheic keratosis, with infections and eczema being the most frequent pathological conditions, highlighting the need for public health measures targeting geriatric dermatoses.

This study found that patient-reported outcomes revealed the persistence of neuropathy, insomnia, and nail changes in breast cancer patients beyond chemotherapy, emphasizing the importance of monitoring long-term adverse events.

In this study, physiological skin changes like linea nigra (84.4%) and striae distensae (78.4%) were most common in pregnant women, while pathological changes were shown to be significantly associated with gravida and gestational age.

This study found that dietary supplementation with collagen, chondroitin sulfate, low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, Pycnogenol®, and coenzyme Q10 significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, nail hardness, and hair condition in patients with age-related dermatological changes after 12 weeks.

In this study, researchers used a patient-reported outcome questionnaire to assess long-term adverse effects in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, finding persistent symptoms like neuropathy, dysgeusia, insomnia, and nail loss. Peripheral neuropathy was notably prolonged in those receiving anthracycline- and taxane-based regimens compared to docetaxel/cyclophosphamide.

Onychomatricome is a benign nail tumor with specific dermoscopic features that help distinguish it from cancer.

This study reported an unusual case of nail matrix involvement and trachyonychia in a child with juvenile pityriasis rubra pilaris, showing significant improvement with topical therapy and oral biotin.

The document concludes that treatments like oral anti-androgens, minoxidil, and topical spironolactone can be effective for hair loss in men and women.

This article discusses how changes in hair and nails may indicate systemic diseases, but it provides no new results; the authors emphasize their usefulness in clinical diagnosis.

Non-scarring hair loss can be diagnosed with two 4mm punch biopsies, one cut vertically and the other transversely.

This case report diagnosed an 8-year-old girl with trachyonychia and secondary onychomycosis, finding that spontaneous improvement is common, making specific therapy often unnecessary despite treatment challenges with associated fungal infections.

This review summarizes recent findings on keratins 6, 16, and 17, highlighting their role in keratinocyte behavior and nuclear functions, and discusses their potential as biomarkers for various skin pathologies, including damage, inflammation, and cancer, rather than in healthy skin.

RET mutation is important in familial medullary thyroid carcinoma, and BRAF mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma is linked to more aggressive cancer and higher death rates.

This review discusses skin changes during pregnancy, highlighting both pregnancy-specific and common physiologic changes, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that structural defects in the hair shafts of sighthounds with bald thigh syndrome are related to a downregulation of genes and proteins essential for hair shaft formation.
