This study found that laboratory testing practices for alopecia areata vary among international hair experts, with the majority routinely conducting thyroid function and complete blood count tests, yet exhibiting diverse approaches toward testing for other conditions or before prescribing systemic therapy.

This study observed that chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis frequently experience dermatologic manifestations, with xerosis and white nail being the most common skin and nail changes noted in 74% and 56% of patients, respectively.

This review discusses advancements in skin microphysiological systems, such as 3D bioprinting, skin organoids, and skin-on-a-chip, and their effectiveness in emulating human skin functions for research and preclinical applications, highlighting the potential for replacing animal testing with these innovative technologies.

This article reviews methotrexate's pharmacokinetics and toxicity, emphasizing the role of urinary excretion and leucovorin in avoiding most toxic reactions; it provides no new clinical results.

Oral retinoids can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe, including birth defects, and require careful monitoring and contraception.

This article discusses the importance of oral and maxillofacial surgeons understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of acne vulgaris, but it presents no new research findings.

This case report describes a 27-year-old kidney transplant recipient with end stage renal failure who developed infections and adverse reactions, ultimately resolving with antiviral treatment targeting HHV6.

The document concludes that using gadolinium-based contrast agents during MRI can be linked to Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis in patients with severe kidney disease.

This study found that both finasteride and dutasteride led to morphological and functional kidney damage in rats, with more severe effects observed in the dutasteride group.

In this study, prolonged ingestion of linseed in rabbits was observed to be safe, showing no significant weight gain or anatomical anomalies in liver and kidney biopsies.

This study observed that the addition of Cuticapil Stem Hair Serum to standard care significantly improved hair growth and reduced hair shedding in patients with androgenetic alopecia, demonstrating superior efficacy compared to standard care alone without any reported adverse events.

The study characterized the transcriptional changes in porcine SKP cells transitioning to fibroblast-like cells, indicating potential roles for specific signaling pathways in this cell fate transition.

This study found that normal murine hair follicles are direct targets for melatonin bioregulation, expressing receptors that are regulated in a hair cycle-dependent manner, influencing keratinocyte apoptosis.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

This study found that treatment with a synthesized autophagy inducer improved skin barrier function and hair damage in dogs with atopic dermatitis or hyperadrenocorticism by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines.

This study found that integrin-linked kinase is crucial for various epidermal functions, including differentiation and barrier formation, and also plays a previously unreported role in melanocyte development and function.

In this study, an 11-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica showed significant improvement in symptoms after oral zinc therapy.

In this case report, an 11-year-old girl with acrodermatitis enteropathica experienced a complete resolution of symptoms following oral zinc therapy, highlighting its effectiveness in managing this condition.

In this study of women with female pattern hair loss, iron deficiency was associated with the condition due to significantly lower serum ferritin and altered hematological indices compared to healthy controls, while no significant differences in serotonin levels or renal function were observed.

This study found that serum cystatin C levels may be elevated in adolescent females with PCOS, suggesting it could serve as a predictive marker for metabolic and cardiovascular issues independent of renal function.

This case report suggests that Post-Finasteride Syndrome may involve a sustained imbalance in gut bacteria, with fermenting and hydrogen sulphide-producing bacteria disrupting hormone and mitochondrial functions.

This case report proposes that Post-Finasteride Syndrome might be sustained by specific microbes in the small intestine affecting hormone excretion and mitochondrial function, warranting further investigation in a larger cohort.

This report describes a clinical case of a 38-year-old man diagnosed with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, confirmed by genetic testing, highlighting the presentation of multiple renal tumors and bilateral lung cysts.

This study suggests that long-term treatment with valproate, acetylcarnitine, folic acid, and vitamin B12 may benefit children with SMA types II and III by improving muscle strength and function without significant adverse effects.

This literature review highlights the changing epidemiology of tinea capitis due to global migration and underscores the importance of early recognition and treatment of atypical variants in immunocompetent children to minimize prolonged systemic antifungal therapy and prevent adverse events, especially regarding liver health.

This study found that α-ketoglutarate protected dermal papilla cells from oxidative stress by enhancing the Nrf2 pathway and mitigating cell damage through the ERK/Nrf2 axis.

This study identified that copper depletion in dermal papilla cells reduced hair growth by boosting ROS levels, but ROS scavengers like NAC and ascorbic acid partially alleviated this effect.

This study found that a solution containing 0.5% Camellia japonica placenta extract increased scalp moisture and reduced sebum content, dead keratin, and erythema in adult females, suggesting potential as a scalp treatment.

This study found that young women with PCOS had normal thyroid function but showed alterations in lipid metabolism, which may predispose unmarried women in this group to cardiovascular diseases.

In this study, a young Chinese male with a specific mitochondrial mutation was reported to have proteinuria and renal dysfunction, with stable kidney function after treatment over 23 months.
