This study suggests that using the International Psoriasis Council's classification, which includes body surface area, special areas, and treatment history, may identify more candidates for systemic therapy than by body surface area alone.

Real-life dosing of biologics for plaque psoriasis often deviates from recommended guidelines, especially for high-need patients.

A comprehensive approach is needed to accurately assess alopecia areata severity and guide treatment decisions.

This study identified high expression of the Sur2A subunit in cancerous cells in two animal models, highlighting a potential drug target in breast and renal cancers, with additional pharmacovigilance data linking KATP channel genes to varied cancer risks.

This study observed that baricitinib treatment led to significant improvements in hair regrowth and quality of life scores in adults with severe alopecia areata over 24 weeks, with an acceptable safety profile as most adverse effects were transient.

This study found that trichoscopic examination is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with severe diffuse non-scarring alopecia indicating active disease.

The study reported a 7.80% prevalence of scarring alopecia in Chinese SLE patients and identified several risk factors, including mucocutaneous lesions and high disease activity, while renal and cardio-respiratory involvements were negatively associated with it.

This study found that all examined biomarkers and clinical features were elevated in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, particularly ANA and Anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, but no single biomarker was sensitive or specific enough for diagnosis.

This study found that the age of onset in systemic lupus erythematosus patients affects clinical features, with juvenile-onset SLE showing more severe disease activity and systemic involvement than adult or late-onset SLE.

This study observed that in a real-world pediatric setting, Janus kinase inhibitors led to improvements in scalp, eyebrow, and eyelash involvement in children with alopecia areata, with a generally favorable tolerability profile, though baseline imbalances and non-randomized treatment allocation limit causal conclusions and drug comparisons.

This review discusses emerging research on the transcription factor Sox6 and its roles in cardiovascular and kidney function, highlighting its involvement in diseases such as cardiomyopathy and diabetes; it reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor in skin biology, highlighting its potential involvement in keratinocyte and hair physiology, and proposes it may affect the side effects of glucocorticoid use.

This study found a rare germline mutation in the Birt–Hogg–Dubé gene in a Japanese patient with renal cell carcinoma, suggesting distinct biological features and challenging current renal tumor classifications.

This case report describes a 30-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who was successfully treated for recurrent hypokalemic periodic quadriparesis after being diagnosed with distal tubular acidosis.

In this study, the expression of Gnαs was significantly higher in black mice compared to white mice, suggesting its potential involvement in coat color formation in mice.

In this case report, researchers detailed the clinical management and positive outcome of a 62-year-old woman with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the potential effectiveness of Eculizumab in achieving disease remission and maintaining stability over 18 months.

This study found a significant association between montelukast and neuropsychiatric adverse events such as suicidal ideation and depression, suggesting that the drug's interaction with specific genes may contribute to these effects.

Eyebrow and eyelash hair loss in alopecia areata worsens quality of life.

This article discusses systemic lupus erythematosus, covering its clinical features, treatments, and the recent FDA approval of belimumab, but does not present new clinical results.

This study identified three clusters of autoantibodies in children with systemic lupus erythematosus, each associated with specific clinical manifestations at diagnosis.

This study found that while a modified BASP classification for pattern hair loss could classify previously unrecognized types, it was less accurate and harder to use than the existing BASP classification.

This paper reports a rare case where AL amyloidosis presented as isolated scalp alopecia, underscoring the importance of considering systemic amyloidosis in the differential diagnosis of alopecia.

This study found that systemic lupus erythematosus predominantly affects young adults, with diverse symptoms including mucocutaneous and renal involvement, and highlights the significance of early detection for improved management.

This study in childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients found significant gender differences, with males exhibiting more serositis, higher anti-DNA antibody prevalence, and renal involvement, while females experienced more hair loss.

The guideline recommends mental health involvement in diagnosing gender identity disorder and outlines hormone and surgical treatment protocols, emphasizing safety, informed consent, and long-term monitoring.

This article reviews challenges in managing malignant ureteral obstruction and emphasizes prompt treatment to preserve renal function, but reports no clinical results.

This study reviewed how Anifrolumab, though often used in real-world settings for SLE patients with neurological symptoms, showed varying effectiveness and required cautious monitoring for adverse effects like thrombocytopenia and cerebrovascular events.

This study outlines a rare case of cryptococcoid Sweet syndrome linked to hydralazine use and previous cocaine exposure, emphasizing the importance of recognizing unique histopathological features such as multiple positive autoantibodies and mucosal involvement to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that bullous lupus erythematosus lesions in cutaneous lupus erythematosus showed distinctive histopathology with neutrophilic predominance and were associated with severe disease and higher extracutaneous involvement.

This case report documents a 31-year-old woman with bullous SLE who showed improvement with high-dose parenteral steroids and dapsone, with ongoing follow-up due to potential kidney involvement.
