This study found that the spinal projection of afferents innervating slowly adapting mechanoreceptors had a greater rostrocaudal extent and number of boutons compared to those innervating rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors.

Autoimmune myopathy may be linked to hair loss and skin depigmentation.

This study reviewed pathology reports of patients with multiple myeloma and found that skin biopsies commonly show graft-versus-host disease, drug-related lesions, and Sweet's syndrome, especially related to transplantation timing.

This case study suggests a potential common inflammatory cause between insidious optic neuropathy and alopecia areata in a 4-year-old boy.

The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, characterized by symptoms including fever, dysarthria, dysphagia, oral candidiasis, nail dystrophy, alopecia, hypoparathyroidism, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The study highlights unique bilateral symmetrical brain calcifications and underscores the syndrome’s diverse manifestations.

This case report identified a 4-month-old boy with Menkes disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of copper metabolism, noting symptoms like recurrent seizures, developmental delay, and specific physical characteristics, confirmed by genetic sequencing showing a pathogenic ATP7A mutation and low serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.

In this case study, divisional thallium intoxication in an adolescent led to progressive optic and peripheral neuropathy, with neurological deterioration occurring more rapidly after a second ingestion.

This study describes various clinical phenotypes associated with FOXN1 mutations, finding that affected individuals may develop different severities of immunodeficiency based on their genetic mutations.

Surgery to fix a broken upper arm bone can sometimes lead to nerve damage.

This case report highlights the challenge of distinguishing between neuropsychiatric lupus and rituximab-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and careful management.

This article analyzes the potential for insights from monogenic disorders to inform the understanding and treatment of common polygenic diseases, though complete predictability based on genotype remains unrealistic.

An elderly man with skin amyloidosis and abnormal blood proteins was monitored without finding widespread disease after 18 months.

This case study of a 45-year-old man from Tonga describes the identification of pachyonychia congenita through genetic testing, revealing a mutation in the keratin gene KRT16, associated with chronic painful skin and nail conditions.

This case study describes a 31-year-old man with myotonia and a history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and androgenic alopecia, who presented with arm and leg weakness.

In this case study, researchers observed that gabapentin may cause alopecia, as a patient developed significant hair loss shortly after starting the medication for neuropathic pain, which reversed upon discontinuation.

This case report describes a young girl with a rare association of anti-SRP positive necrotizing autoimmune myopathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, who responded well to corticosteroid treatment.

In this case, intralesional cidofovir showed a successful outcome for treating SCC without systemic toxicity, suggesting it may be worth considering alongside surgical excision.

This case report describes a unique instance of plica neuropathica in a 14-year-old girl linked to chronic illness and acute infection, leading to complete hair loss.

The researchers reported that mast cell and nerve fiber interactions in mouse skin are highly selective for nerve fiber types and vary depending on the hair cycle phase.

This case report describes two patients with a likely new type of pachyonychia, characterized by nail thickening and severe generalized hypotrichosis, possibly linked to a mutation in a hard keratin.

Cryotherapy and compression therapy might help prevent chemotherapy nerve damage, but more research is needed.
