This article outlines how pediatric hair problems present and how they can be assessed, without reporting new research results.

This research re-analyzed single-cell gene expression data from a mouse model, confirming that certain genes involved in the EDA-EDAR and WNT pathways are crucial for skin appendage development, suggesting that their restoration may mitigate the effects of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in children.

This case report of a 16-month-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica, who showed atypical symptoms and normal zinc serum levels, highlights how genetic testing and zinc supplementation led to marked improvement in her condition, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis in metabolic disorders.

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher rates of dry eye symptoms and meibomian gland dysfunction compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link between the condition and these ocular issues.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

This review discusses the clinical features of SARS in children, noting milder symptoms compared to adults, and emphasizes the importance of ongoing monitoring for long-term effects; it reports no new treatment findings.

This review examines treatments for hidradenitis suppurativa in children and adolescents, highlights differences from adult care, and reports no original clinical findings.

Individualized treatment plans are crucial for children with alopecia areata, with promising options like JAK inhibitors showing significant hair regrowth.

This review discusses the features and diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in obese children and reports no new findings, highlighting the need for a uniform pediatric definition and early intervention.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with advanced puberty signs and resistant acne, highlighting potential early-onset puberty with associated growth patterns.

This article summarizes research on the co-occurrence of autoimmune diseases in patients with type 1 diabetes, noting that such conditions, present in up to 29% of these patients, can adversely impact their quality of life and diabetes management.

This study found that acne and androgenic alopecia were prevalent in women with "true" keloids, suggesting hormonal imbalances may contribute to keloid formation.

This study found that serum DHEA levels increase earlier and are higher in girls compared to boys through various stages of puberty, reflecting their earlier pubertal development.

In this study, administering dexamethasone rapidly normalized elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.

In this study, a patient with cystic fibrosis developed iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to impaired clearance of budesonide from concurrent itraconazole use, highlighting the need for regular monitoring in such combination therapies.

This study found that an 11-month-old Japanese infant developed biotin deficiency while on a Japanese amino acid formula without biotin, which was resolved with biotin supplementation.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl who developed kerion celsi from an untreated scalp infection, likely contracted from a guinea pig, leading to significant hair loss and the need for a wig.

This report describes a patient with biotinidase deficiency presenting bilateral optic atrophy, and confirms autosomal recessive inheritance through enzyme dosage analysis in the patient and family members.

This case study observed that long-term itraconazole and budesonide use in a cystic fibrosis patient led to iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome due to inhibited metabolic clearance of budesonide, suggesting a need for regular adrenal insufficiency monitoring in such treatments.

In this study, the prevalence of skin changes in hospitalized children with acute illness, categorized by nutritional status, was lower than previously reported, and the SKORDoK tool was less reliable for dermatological assessment using photographs.

In this retrospective study on pediatric craniospinal irradiation, researchers found that permanent radiation-induced alopecia occurred in 45.8% of patients, with higher radiation doses and treatment intensity being significant predictors, suggesting that defined dosimetric thresholds can support scalp-sparing planning.

This study found that hair cortisol concentrations can be reliably measured in healthy children and generally increase with age, unaffected by gender, puberty, or hair care practices.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

This article reviews the characteristics and classification of SAHA syndrome and its relationship with other conditions, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study suggests that the paradoxical effects of androgens on hair growth are due to differential gene expression in hair follicles, possibly established during embryogenesis.

This study found that the R257X mutation in the AIRE gene is prevalent among Russian patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, particularly in those with hypoparathyroidism and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

This review discusses hormonal influences on hair growth and suggests that understanding hormone-gene interactions may improve treatment of hirsutism and alopecia, but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the molecular basis and clinical implications of primary generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity, attributing them to mutations in the human glucocorticoid receptor gene, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews the regulation of androgens in human skin and adrenals, highlighting their role in skin disorders, but reports no new research findings.

In this case study, a 55-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia was ultimately diagnosed with hepatic cortisone reductase deficiency after initially suspected 21-hydroxylase deficiency was ruled out.
