A fungal infection can look like a different scalp condition in teens, leading to wrong treatment until proper tests are done.

This study found that using an oral contraceptive with bicalutamide significantly reduced hirsutism in women with PCOS compared to an oral contraceptive alone, although it increased total cholesterol and LDL levels.

The InCISE score is a promising tool for assessing wound healing in head and neck surgery but needs more research for broader use.

This review discusses the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors with endocrine therapy in treating women with HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer, but it reports no new clinical findings.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

This case study identified Trichophyton rubrum as the cause of trichophytia profunda acuta in a patient using nested PCR, suggesting an alternative diagnostic approach when KOH tests and cultures fail.

This review discusses the current knowledge on using special and immunohistochemical stains for diagnosing hair disorders, concluding that no stains are recommended for routine use in hair pathology.

This case report describes a 62-year-old male with multiple warty dyskeratomas found on the scalp, chest, abdomen, and lower back, a rare presentation confirmed by histological findings consistent with warty dyskeratoma, as noted by the researchers.

This review presents standardized methods for assessing and tracking hair loss in alopecia areata but reports no clinical results, with the authors noting time limitations in clinical practice.

In this study, ritlecitinib 50-mg showed clinically meaningful efficacy, with improvements in the Severity of Alopecia Tool score observed in patients with alopecia areata over a 3-year period, demonstrating long-term benefit in both clinician- and patient-reported outcomes.

In this study, researchers found that substance P triggered premature catagen development and immune changes in human scalp hair follicles, providing a possible biological link between stress and hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.

This study found that the alcohol extract of Vernonia anthelmintica may counteract stress-induced hair follicle growth inhibition in mice, potentially offering a new approach for treating stress-related hair loss.

This study suggests that the testosterone analogs 7α-Methyltestosterone and 7α-Ethyltestosterone may offer promising androgenic, progestogenic, and anabolic properties for development as male contraceptives.

This article describes cases of tinea capitis in young Black and Latina children, highlighting the condition's diverse presentations such as erythema, scaling, and subtle signs like comma hairs, but reports no new clinical results.

In this research, animal tests confirmed that chromium supplementation effectively maintains glycaemic and insulinaemic balance and affects certain hormone levels, but the authors note that clinical evidence for chromium's benefits in PCOS treatment remains sparse and inconsistent, warranting further exploration.

This review discusses the limited objective evidence for using finasteride in women with alopecia, suggesting that it could be considered for those who don't benefit from minoxidil, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that seed oil of Caragana korshinskii demonstrated high antifungal efficacy against Trichophyton mentagrophytes in an in vivo guinea pig model of dermatophytosis.

In this study using diabetic rat models, the combination of AMD3100 and low-dose FK506 reduced wound healing time and improved microcirculation in diabetic foot ulcers, indicating a promising new systemic therapy.

This study suggests that uncontrolled embryonic trichogenesis may play a role in the development of trichoblastoma in rabbits.

This study found that using curated biomedical databases as training examples for information extraction tasks in Genome-Wide Association Studies can outperform cost-insensitive methods, demonstrating their potential use without expert annotation.

This study reported that ritlecitinib was generally well tolerated over 72 months in patients aged 12 and older with alopecia areata, with adverse events like headache and nasopharyngitis observed, and safety outcomes consistent with previous studies.

This report presents a case of a child with hypothyroidism and poorly controlled type 1 diabetes developing both Mauriac syndrome and Van Wyk–Grumbach syndrome, two rare complications.

This systematic review reported positive outcomes with gender-affirming hormone therapy in Canada and emphasized the urgent need for standardized outcome measurement tools to enhance evidence-based practices.

This study identifies SOX9 as a critical downstream effector of ERG in TMPRSS2:ERG fusion-positive prostate cancer, indicating its role in tumor invasion and growth.

This study found that Malassezia folliculitis, common among young adult males, can be distinguished from truncal acne by its clinical features and responds well to antifungal treatment.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding Merkel cell carcinoma biology, including the development of genetically-engineered mouse models and potential therapeutic targets, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that persistent symptoms in patients with controlled functioning adenomas may indicate a coexisting PCOS diagnosis, highlighting the need for precise differentiation and timely management of these conditions.

This study found that in Chinese goat breeds, specific genetic variations, particularly in Tibetan Cashmere goats, are associated with traits like hair growth and adaptation to high-altitude environments.

In this case study, an 80-year-old woman developed lichen planus pigmentosus inversus after receiving multiple intra-articular injections of a homeopathic preparation, suggesting a possible link, though causality remains speculative.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential for developing more effective treatments.
