This study found that belimumab helped achieve low disease activity in over 40% of systemic lupus erythematosus patients in real-life settings, alongside reduced corticosteroid use and fewer flares.

This study observed that in a real-world clinical setting in Greece, belimumab effectively controlled disease activity in lupus patients and allowed for a reduction in glucocorticoid dosage, with more pronounced benefits seen in patients who were serologically active at the start of treatment.

This study documented a variety of skin lesions in COVID-19 patients, indicating that skin rashes might be an early or sole symptom of the disease.

Syphilis can cause hair loss without other symptoms and should be considered when diagnosing unexplained hair loss.

This study reported that belimumab helped over 40% of active systemic lupus erythematosus patients achieve low disease activity, with more than 20% able to stop glucocorticoids completely.

Human hair contains a substance that shows blood group A activity.

This study reported that tuberculosis can mimic lupus-like symptoms, including the production of autoantibodies, which may confuse the diagnosis with systemic lupus erythematosus flares.

Vitiligo is not linked to coeliac disease, but a small number of alopecia areata patients may have it, suggesting they should be tested for coeliac disease.

This article discusses the paradoxical effects of valproic acid on hair, reporting both drug-induced hair loss and the potential for hair growth when used topically, but presents no original research findings.

Blood tests confirmed a baby in the womb had a CMV infection.

This study found that systemic administration of NDP-MSH, a melanocortin receptor agonist, provided neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, reducing neuroinflammation and suggesting a role for regulatory T cells in these neuroprotective effects.

This review discusses the role of the BAFF system in autoimmune diseases and highlights its therapeutic potential, emphasizing the need for disease-specific clinical trials to improve treatment strategies.

This study found that in the Indian population, SLE patients with only skin manifestations often had a positive immunological profile, suggesting early identification of disease before systemic symptoms develop.

LED light helps human hair root cells grow and move by activating certain cell pathways.

This case study reports a 15-year-old girl from a visceral leishmaniasis-endemic area in Greece presenting with various symptoms, including high fever, morning joint pain, and blood in urine, eventually leading to findings like rash, anemia, and kidney issues. Results are not detailed in this abstract.

This study observed a significant association between antigliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG) and alopecia areata severity, suggesting that serological tests could help diagnose subclinical celiac disease in these patients, with IgA and IgG showing 100% sensitivity and specificity at specific cutoff points.

This study found a significant association between antigliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG) and alopecia areata severity, suggesting a need for celiac disease screening in these patients.

This review discusses the clinical features of SARS in children, noting milder symptoms compared to adults, and emphasizes the importance of ongoing monitoring for long-term effects; it reports no new treatment findings.

This study identified distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features to differentiate non-scarring patchy alopecia in SLE from alopecia areata, emphasizing the value of serological tests in diagnosis.

This review discusses syphilis and reports no new clinical findings; it highlights the need for improved prevention and diagnosis to address increasing infection rates globally and in Hungary.

This article discusses various patterns of hair loss associated with lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of identifying the specific type to aid in classifying systemic lupus erythematosus.

This study suggests that moderate elevated prolactin levels are unlikely to cause significant hair loss in women, but still warrant further diagnostic investigation to rule out a prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

This study found that the estrous cycle influences the effect of the δ-GABAAR agonist THIP in reducing binge drinking behavior in female mice, with receptor expression elevated during diestrus.

This case study reports a 26-year-old male with secondary syphilitic alopecia misdiagnosed as alopecia areata, likely contracted through non-penetrative sexual contact. Effective treatment with intramuscular benzathine penicillin G led to complete hair regrowth within three months.

This case study details the successful treatment of macrophage activation syndrome with dexamethasone and cyclosporine in a 36-year-old woman with adult-onset Still's disease, highlighting the critical importance of timely aggressive treatment.

This case report describes a patient with an allergic sensitization to minoxidil, indicating that such patients should pursue alternative therapies to treat androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers found that topical application of the diabetes medication Sitagliptin in mice accelerates hair follicle regeneration and reduces fibrosis, suggesting it could be repurposed to treat hair loss conditions like alopecia.

The study found that up-regulating β-catenin signaling in CD 133-positive dermal papilla cells enhanced their ability to promote hair follicle regeneration both in vitro and in vivo.

This study by a panel of 13 clinicians led to 22 consensus statements recommending approaches for diagnosing scarring and nonscarring alopecias, suggesting scalp biopsy for suspected scarring alopecias and specific serologic tests for nonscarring types like alopecia areata based on clinical presentation.

This case report documented a 25-year-old female patient presenting with systemic lupus erythematosus coinciding with a COVID-19 infection, suggesting a possible link between the two conditions.
