This study identified that pediatric transplant recipients experience specific skin changes related to medication use, with unique conditions like ichthyosiform xerosis in kidney recipients and skin scaling with pellagroid appearance in bone marrow recipients.

This abstract discusses pellagra as a nutritional disorder characterized by a known set of symptoms but reports no new clinical findings; the authors review existing knowledge and suggest further research.

This case report illustrates that pellagra can develop in patients with anorexia nervosa without typical signs of severe malnutrition, responding rapidly to nicotinamide and tryptophan therapy.

This case report describes a patient with pellagrous dermatitis related to chronic alcoholism, whose symptoms resolved within two weeks following treatment with nicotinamide, vitamin B12, and thiamine.

In this study, researchers observed that skin conditions in Timbi are influenced by occupation, literacy, and systemic diseases, with widespread improper steroid use contributing to complications.

This paper discusses the concept of "coudability," a characteristic of alopecia areata, and provides a historical perspective, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that the Florida worm lizard has lost certain genes associated with claw development, which are present in other lizard species with claws, suggesting a link between the evolution of their limbless body and the loss of claw-related genes.

This study reports that KRTAP-like proteins, which resemble keratin-associated proteins found in mammals, are also present in the cornified teeth of various lamprey species, suggesting these proteins may serve similar functions in skin appendages across different vertebrates despite independent evolutionary origins.

This perspective highlights the potential of reptile integument as an experimental model to understand the evolution of amniote skin structures, but reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers observed that the epidermal specializations on the tail scales of Lygodactylus lizards, including sensory organs and specific secretory glands, are fully restored with similar structure and distribution on regenerated tails.

This article discusses the structure and protective function of pangolin scales, emphasizing their composition of α-keratins and β-keratins, and highlights evolutionary keratin diversification in tetrapods; it reports no new empirical findings.

This study describes a newly identified mite species, Demodex zalophi, found on captive sea lions and highlights its unique traits, including being the first of its kind described in marine mammals.

This study characterized the mouse profilaggrin gene, finding it structurally identical to its human counterpart, and noted differences in protein-coding regions that could impact epidermal differentiation.

This case report describes an inflammatory skin reaction linked to kava kava ingestion, with the patient's condition resolving after treatment with oral prednisone and topical hydrocortisone.

This article discusses a hypothesis on the development and evolution of scales, hairs, and feathers from fish to amniotes, based on regions of dermo-epidermal interactions in skin, but reports no new findings.

This study identified the distribution of keratin-associated proteins during cornification in the epidermis of reptiles, revealing unique structural characteristics in sauropsid keratin proteins compared to other vertebrates.

In this study, mixed lice infestations and their associated skin changes were observed in the Egyptian lesser blind mole rat, marking the first report of such findings in this species.

This study suggests that egfl6 expression in the pharyngeal pouches is not essential for craniofacial development in zebrafish.

In this review, researchers examined the molecular diversity and expression patterns of major skin appendage proteins, like keratins and EDC proteins, in tetrapods, highlighting recent findings in reptiles and birds and identifying knowledge gaps for future research.

This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old male with GAPO syndrome, characterized by growth retardation, alopecia, pseudoanodontia, and optic atrophy, who sought dental treatment for missing teeth.

In this study, 92% of HIV-infected patients had mucocutaneous manifestations, with oral candidiasis being the most common condition observed.

In this study, researchers discussed how specific protein interactions in reptile skin allow for the development of protective structures like scales and scutes, which facilitated reptiles' adaptation to terrestrial environments.

This case report details the dermoscopic features of bilateral cutaneous larva migrans in an adult male, noting similarities with lymphangioma circumscriptum but highlights that typical dermoscopy magnification may be insufficient for diagnosis.

This study found that Brandt's hedgehog has the thickest skin on its back and the thinnest on the cloacal region, with sebaceous and sweat glands primarily located in the nostril area.

This review provides an overview of the molecular evolution of corneous beta-proteins in reptiles and birds, highlighting their distinct genetic origin and role in epidermal structures, but reports no new results.

This review summarizes the effects and complications of bariatric surgery on skin, noting it can alter existing skin conditions like psoriasis and trigger new dermatoses, but provides no new clinical results.

This study describes Pseudopelade of Brocq as a rare and enigmatic scarring alopecia characterized by irregular hair loss patterns on the scalp, requiring exclusion of other conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus for a specific diagnosis.

This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

In this study, researchers found that alpha-keratin homologs similar to those in mammalian hair are present in the claws of the lizard Anolis carolinensis, suggesting a structural role during claw formation.
