This article discusses the urgent issue of preserving freedom of choice in dermatology, highlighted by the American Academy of Dermatology, and reports no new research findings.

This study identified three new mutations in the VDR ligand-binding domain that may cause dysfunction, and noted that oral calcium and calcidol treatment was effective, but only one patient experienced hair growth.

This article introduces REVVup Hair Therapy as an alternative to surgery for early-stage hair loss but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that dermatologists in an urban academic setting most frequently use topical corticosteroids, intralesional corticosteroids, and topical minoxidil for treating central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, aligning with current literature recommendations on reducing inflammation.

In this study, only Vdr-knockout rats showed both abnormal skin formation and alopecia, which may provide insights into vitamin D receptor function and its role in the hair growth cycle.

In this study, pre-treatment with 5-α-reductase inhibitors (finasteride/dutasteride) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma was associated with better immune checkpoint inhibitor effectiveness and improved progression-free and overall survival, without increasing severe side effects.

This review discusses the increased risk of venous thromboembolism associated with combined hormonal contraceptives, particularly noting higher risks with certain progestins like desogestrel, gestodene, and cyproterone acetate, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that VDR polymorphisms, particularly ApaI and FokI variants, are associated with hormonal and metabolic disturbances in women with PCOS, with notable variations across different ethnicities.

This study found that a mitoxantrone, vincristine, and prednisolone regimen effectively treated recurrent breast cancer with a 70% response rate, though it was associated with significant myelosuppression.

This study found that DVd therapy is at least as effective as VAD/VAd for treating multiple myeloma and causes fewer side effects and reduced hospital visits.

This article discusses revised SLE classification criteria by the SLICC and reports no new research results.

This audit of ritlecitinib prescribing for severe alopecia areata found that regional practices largely followed national guidelines but highlighted the need for better psychological assessments and more consistent use of SALT scoring to inform treatment continuation decisions after 36 weeks.

This study found that VPS13C variants are significantly enriched in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), associating these variants with more severe symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and faster progression from iRBD to overt α-synucleinopathy in the iRBD-first disease subtype.

This review observed limited evidence of clinically significant benefits from treatments for acute central serous chorioretinopathy, which often resolves spontaneously, but identified PDT and micropulse laser as the most promising for further trials.

Subcision is the most efficient, cost-effective, and safest treatment for post-acne boxcar scarring in skin of color.

A new test helps find drugs to treat head and neck cancer by targeting c-Rel.

In this study, researchers observed that the success of treating hereditary vitamin D–resistant rickets in children depends on the mutation location in the VDR gene, notably with favorable dental development outcomes for those with the p.R391S mutation, despite persistent alopecia.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

This research highlights the potential of non-coding RNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in dermatology, while experimental studies on a unique GVM case suggest CCM2L may modulate disease severity, advancing understanding of genetic mechanisms in rare skin disorders.

This study found that the vitamin D-VDR system is crucial for mineral and bone metabolism post-weaning and identified missense mutations in 1alpha-hydroxylase causing type I rickets.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome, particularly using the "MY PCOS" mnemonic, and reports no new experimental results.

In this study, reflectance confocal microscopy was shown to provide early insights into sub-clinical treatment progress in patients with androgenetic alopecia, potentially offering advantages over global photography.

This entry contains only a placeholder abstract with no research findings described or summarized.

This review found promising benefits of platelet-rich plasma for treating ocular surface diseases in animals, but methodological flaws currently preclude recommending it as standard care.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

This review of polycystic ovary syndrome cases in New Zealand suggests a need for improved recording of diagnostic criteria, as general practitioners often rely on ultrasounds despite guidelines advising otherwise.

This document reviews various studies presented at the Plastic Surgery Research Council (PSRC) Annual Meetings and reports no new research findings; it discusses topics ranging from reconstructive techniques to gender-affirming surgeries.

This article discusses the SLICC's revision and validation of the ACR SLE classification criteria to enhance clinical relevance and integrate recent immunological insights, but does not report new clinical results.

This review discusses the association between vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome, noting the need for further research on their impact on the disorder's manifestations.

This study found that Cannabidivarin (CBDV) promotes neuronal differentiation and inhibits oligodendrocyte maturation via TRPV1 modulation, highlighting its potential in neural stem cell research.
