This report presents the early development of the Lupus Foundation of America's LFA-REAL™ patient-reported instrument, designed to enhance evaluation of lupus disease activity by combining patient and physician assessments.

This research observed that multifocal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia may explain some cases of squamous nests in vulvar lichen sclerosus with lichen simplex chronicus, potentially as a reaction to tissue damage rather than squamous cell carcinoma.

An 8-year-old girl developed a rare skin condition in a linear pattern on one side of her body after a lung infection, which improved with treatment.

A thorough, team-based approach and clear communication improve outcomes in complex neuropsychiatric lupus cases.

This study found that a positive anagen pull test can be an indicator of lichen planopilaris activity, suggesting its utility in the clinical assessment of this condition.

This case report describes the histopathological features of nevus psiloliparus in an 11-year-old girl, noting "shadow" follicular units with loosely arranged collagen and reduced elastic fibers.

In this study, serial platelet-rich plasma injections improved voice quality and mucosal wave ratings in patients with vocal fold scar, with patient-reported outcomes showing a consistent positive trend.

This study found that those with pityriasis rubra pilaris reported worse quality of life than patients with most other dermatologic conditions, impacting daily activities and emphasizing its severe life quality implications.

In this pilot study, PDLLA scalp microinjections showed improvement in physician-rated Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale scores over 12-24 weeks for 90% of patients with non-scarring alopecia, with no serious adverse events reported, although findings remain preliminary due to methodological limitations.

PRP treatment improved skin pigmentation and appearance in facial lichen planus pigmentosus.

This double-blind control study found that an ointment containing propolis (50%) and aloe vera (3%) led to significant improvement in 64.4% of patients with mild to moderate psoriasis over 12 weeks, compared to no significant improvement in the placebo group.

This study identified neuropilin-1 as the receptor for FOL-026 and showed that it stimulates angiogenesis and cell growth, suggesting potential for vascular repair and enhanced angiogenesis therapies.

This paper reviews treatments for lichen planopilaris, including low-level laser therapy, but reports no new clinical results and highlights the need for further research.

PH-762 shows promise in treating skin cancer by effectively targeting and silencing PD-1 in tumors with minimal side effects.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma treatment led to significant reductions in lesion sizes for both plaque psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, with many patients achieving complete remission and no adverse events reported.

Combining low-level laser therapy with topical corticosteroids effectively improved Lichen Planopilaris symptoms.

Using high-throughput proteomics, this study identified 34 differentially expressed proteins in the lesional skin of adults with scalp psoriasis, suggesting a cytokine storm response linked to bacterial antigens.

This study discusses how historical misconceptions conflated leprosy and psoriasis, leading to widespread social stigma for psoriasis patients, and highlights key figures like Robert Willan and Ferdinand von Hebra who advanced understanding by ultimately separating the two diseases in medical classification.

This study concluded that combining letrozole with cabergoline improved ovulation and clinical pregnancy rates in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome and hyperprolactinemia compared to letrozole alone.

In a post-hoc analysis of six trials, this study observed that both adult and pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe palmoplantar psoriasis treated with ixekizumab experienced rapid and complete clearance of lesions, sustained for up to 5 years in adults and 2 years in children.

This case report highlighted an instance of lichen spinulosus emerging as a new cutaneous sequela in a boy following toxic epidermal necrolysis, responding to treatment with ammonium lactate.

This study presents a series of pediatric psoriasis cases, illustrating its variable and atypical features, which complicates diagnosis and requires early treatment to prevent complications like the psoriatic march, psychosocial issues, and metabolic comorbidities.

In this study, a patient with lichen planopillaris experienced complete resolution of itching and hair shedding following treatment with a new platelet-rich plasma regimen, marking the first reported success in this context.

This case report highlights a 21-year-old woman with seizures, mental retardation, spastic diplegia, and ichthyosis consistent with Sjogren-Larsson syndrome, and emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis when additional symptoms are present.

TAK-279 effectively reduces psoriasis symptoms and is safe.

This study found that serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in patients with psoriasis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo compared to healthy controls, and prolactin levels were also correlated with disease severity in psoriasis and alopecia areata patients.

This study introduced laser particles as a new imaging probe capable of real-time tracking of thousands of individual cells in 3D tumor models, suggesting potential for advanced single-cell analyses.

In this study, patients with generalized pustular psoriasis were classified into subgroups to better understand the disease's variability and assist in treatment selection, highlighting the role of localized infections in triggering flares.

This article reviews the potential role of prolactin as a neuroendocrine modulator in skin biology and pathology, discussing its relevance for conditions such as psoriasis and hair growth, but reports no new clinical findings.
