This article reviews the congenital disorder aphallia, describing its rarity, clinical characteristics, and the normal hormonal and chromosomal profiles of affected individuals, but does not report new research findings.

This study found that Sonic hedgehog pathway expression strongly correlates with tail regeneration in house geckos, peaking early and decreasing afterward.

This study found that coconut oil with turmeric is less effective than 2% ketoconazole shampoo at reducing itching, hair loss, and dandruff scales in adults with dandruff.

This study reported a rare case of a young woman with complete heart block as the initial sign of systemic lupus erythematosus despite being negative for anti-SSA antibodies, highlighting the diagnostic utility of anti-PM-Scl 100 antibodies and nailfold capillaroscopy.

This study used an in silico/in vitro approach to identify potential inhibitors of the enzyme SRD5A2, finding that the androgen receptor modulator MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor, although it does not act as a covalent inhibitor like finasteride.

This study used a novel extraction method to detect and measure mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids in hair follicles, concluding these steroids may serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosing conditions related to steroid excess or deficiency, such as Cushing’s syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

This study found that γδTregs can prevent and treat alopecia areata in a mouse model with human scalp transplants, suggesting potential for cell-based therapies in autoimmune diseases like alopecia.

In this cross-sectional study, researchers found no significant difference in effectiveness between paclitaxel-carboplatin and pemetrexed-carboplatin for treating pulmonary adenocarcinoma with negative EGFR mutations, but paclitaxel-carboplatin was more cost-effective and associated with more frequent severe haematological toxicities.

This study found that creambath preparations with waru leaf extract accelerated hair growth in New Zealand White rabbits, though none matched the positive control; the 37.5% concentration increased hair weight effectively.

In this study, three patients with extensive alopecia areata receiving ustekinumab treatment showed significant hair regrowth and decreased inflammation over 20 weeks, suggesting potential targeted treatment for this condition.

This study found that rare germline pathogenic variants in BRCA2, BRCA1, and ATM are associated with increased risk of aggressive prostate cancer.

This review summarizes existing evidence on how YAP and TAZ proteins are activated in epidermal keratinocytes and their role in coordinating with other signaling molecules to control transcription and influence epidermal cell fate, highlighting their importance beyond the Hippo pathway.

In this study, intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections were associated with halting the progression of frontal fibrosing alopecia in female patients and showed minimal adverse effects, but the efficacy as sole therapy remains unclear pending further trials.

This case report describes a patient in whom vitiligo was induced by diphenylcyclopropenone treatment for alopecia universalis, highlighting the potential overlap of susceptibility genes between the two conditions.

In this study, researchers found that in the UK, laser treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa had the highest participant eligibility and preference compared to other interventions, highlighting its potential priority in future trials.

In this case report, a 56-year-old man developed acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis following Moderna Covid-19 vaccination, with his kidney function improving after steroid treatment but declining upon cessation; the report suggests a vaccine-related cause given his atypical clinical course.

This study reported that a colistin sulfate-loaded nanoemulgel showed improved antimicrobial activity and skin permeability compared to a CS solution, suggesting a potential new approach for treating severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria.

This study found that a developed nanostructured lipid carrier formulation of tea seed oil can effectively stimulate hair growth and reduce the oily feeling associated with direct application.

This chapter reviews the prevalence, symptoms, and management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, highlighting the potential role of certain medicinal plants in its treatment but reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that metabolic syndrome is more common in individuals with androgenic alopecia compared to those without, and that free androgen index could help identify those with the syndrome.

In this study, researchers developed a mouse model of non-healing wounds associated with streptozotocin-induced diabetes and found that it significantly delayed regenerative processes compared to healthy controls, suggesting its relevance for preclinical testing of wound regeneration drugs.

This study developed a stable nanoemulsion of Avicennia marina heartwood extract showing promising anti-dandruff activity against Pityrosporum ovale and favorable physicochemical properties, which supports its potential use in topical formulations.

This review discusses the multifaceted roles of regulatory T cells in cutaneous wound healing and highlights potential therapeutic strategies targeting these cells to enhance wound repair in chronic and diabetic wounds, but reports no new clinical results.

In this review, the authors discussed the potential of hemp in cosmeceutics for skin conditions like acne and dermatitis, emphasizing its therapeutic properties and formulation challenges but noting the need for standardizing cannabinoid content and documenting effectiveness.

This study found that low serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with non-scarring alopecia in women from Punjab, Pakistan, suggesting that assessing ferritin could help identify iron deficiency as a modifiable factor in hair loss.

This literature review found that androgenetic alopecia has a complex multifactorial etiology and effective management should be tailored to individual severity and gender to improve patients' quality of life.

In this quasi-experimental study, a 12-week intermittent fasting regimen significantly improved insulin sensitivity and reduced HbA1c levels in overweight South Asian adults with prediabetes, suggesting a practical lifestyle strategy to potentially delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

This study conducted at the Pakistan Emirates Military Hospital found that microneedling combined with topical triamcinolone acetonide was significantly more effective and well-tolerated than microneedling alone for treating localized alopecia areata, with 60% of participants achieving complete recovery compared to 5% in the microneedling-only group.

This case report details a 66-year-old male patient who developed eosinophilic pleuro-pericardial effusion likely due to valproic acid toxicity or overdosage, with full recovery observed after medication adjustments at a six-month follow-up.

This study found that ING5 knockout mice are prone to developing lymphomas and severe dermatitis, suggesting ING5 plays a role in tumor suppression and stem cell maintenance in vivo.
