In this cross-sectional study, researchers observed that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, particularly women, had lower 2D:4D finger length ratios compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to prenatal androgen exposure and disease severity, though further prospective research is needed to confirm this hormonal impact.

A skin condition called pyodermatitis vegetans was found in a patient with multiple myeloma for the first time.

This letter reports a woman with nevoid basal carcinoma syndrome and pronounced androgenic alopecia associated with a novel PTCH gene mutation p.Leu1159fsx32, suggesting a genetic link in this case study.

This case report highlights a rare instance of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in a patient on afatinib, underlining the importance of early recognition and management of this adverse effect.

This study describes Coats disease as a non-hereditary, idiopathic retinopathy characterized by abnormal retinal vascular development, noting common symptoms such as leukokoria and strabismus, and emphasizes the use of imaging techniques to differentiate it from retinoblastoma.

This case report suggests that individualized homeopathic therapy with Carcinosin may benefit pediatric patients with alopecia areata by improving hair regrowth and psychological symptoms, as supported by standardized assessment tools.

In this narrative review, researchers evaluated existing literature on the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that while no curative treatment exists, clinical improvements can be achieved through personalized and combined therapy approaches.

This study found that injecting growth factor concentrates into the scalp of five patients with androgenic alopecia led to notable improvements in hair density and quality over eight weeks, with patients reporting satisfaction and minimal side effects.

In this study, bicalutamide at low doses was not linked to significant liver enzyme changes compared to other androgen-blocking treatments in transfeminine adolescents and young adults, suggesting its safety with careful monitoring for this population over one year.

In this study on diabetic mice, researchers demonstrated that onion extract significantly lowered blood glucose levels at doses of 500mg/kg and 1,000mg/kg, showing comparable effectiveness to the diabetes medication metformin.
