This article reviews the complexities and challenges in classifying systemic lupus erythematosus and the problematic role of the anti-dsDNA antibody as a biomarker, without presenting new experimental findings.

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

This study reports that sequential high- and low-dose prednisolone therapy effectively promotes complete hair regrowth in 62% of children with severe alopecia areata, while minimizing severe side effects.

This study found that low serum testosterone and elevated serum oestrone in men with cirrhosis are associated with worse liver disease and adverse health outcomes, suggesting oestrone as a potential ill health marker.

In this case report, a 16-year-old Asian girl with deep vein thrombosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia was suspected of having systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of early recognition of unusual SLE manifestations.

This case report highlights the rare occurrence of overlapping syndromes including SLE, RA, and AAV in a patient with discoid lupus erythematosus, noting the persistent role of prior viral infection remains unclear.

This report describes two cases where female patients with chronic granulomatous disease developed manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting a rare association that may influence clinical evaluation and treatment planning.

In this clinical case study, a 30-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus was diagnosed with both catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and acquired haemophilia A, successfully treated with immunosuppressive therapy, plasma exchange, and IVIG, leading to a favourable outcome.

This case report describes a 14-year-old female patient with both Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Diabetes Mellitus, highlighting the rarity of this combination and the importance of thorough evaluation to accurately diagnose and predict the clinical course of the disease.

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 permanent alopecia can occur after certain chemotherapy treatments and presents as nonscarring hair loss similar to androgenetic alopecia, with specific histological features that could be misdiagnosed without proper clinicopathological correlation.

This review suggests that oral prednisolone pulse therapy and oral inosiplex may be effective for alopecia areata, but robust evidence from randomized controlled trials is lacking, highlighting the need for better-designed future studies.

Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.

This study found that among 26 pregnant patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, the most common pregnancy complication was intrauterine growth restriction.

In this study, rheumatoid arthritis patients showed no changes in the number of circulating follicular helper T cells, but these cells had increased CD200 expression, implicating them in disease pathogenesis and suggesting CD200/CD200R as a potential therapeutic target.

This study found that minoxidil significantly reduces systemic blood pressure and vascular resistance in patients with hypertension, but does not alter pulmonary vascular resistance or exacerbate pulmonary hypertension.

This review discusses how sex hormone levels and local steroid synthesis influence gender differences in aging skin, reporting no new clinical results.

This article reviews the hormonal and medication-related factors associated with acne development but does not present new research findings.

This study demonstrated that elevated glucocorticoid levels in transgenic mice led to pancreatic exocrine cells transforming into hepatocyte-like cells, resulting in pancreatic dysfunction.

This study identified distinct plasma miRNA profiles in alopecia areata that may aid in diagnosis and therapy, but further validation is needed to confirm these exploratory findings.

In this study, spironolactone was found to be a safe and effective treatment for acne in women over 25 with abnormal hormone levels, while younger women with normal hormone levels showed less response.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher levels of circulating DNA for certain cytokines compared to healthy controls, suggesting that increased circulating DNA may be linked to hair follicle damage in these patients.

This study found that topical finasteride and flutamide both significantly reduced sebaceous gland growth and decreased prostatic weights in hamsters, indicating systemic effects despite local application.

Olive leaf extract may help reduce aging signs in postmenopausal women.

In this study, researchers explored the effects of various medications on eye health, noting that systemic and local ophthalmic drugs can lead to both widespread and specific ocular side effects, with serious adverse events most associated with neurotropic, immunotropic, and antitumor medications.

This review discusses the chronic nature of acne and its association with various systemic diseases, but reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the need for further study on its nutritional or genetic links.

In this study, low grade inflammation was associated with skin conditions like atopic eczema, onychomycosis, and rosacea in an adult Finnish population.

This review discusses skin signs that can indicate systemic diseases and provides no new clinical results; it aims to aid physicians in diagnosing these conditions.

This review discusses the dermatological and systemic adverse effects of hair dye use, particularly focusing on the common allergen para-phenylenediamine, and reports no new clinical data.

This study found that cutaneous signs such as chilblains and urticaria were notably common in British patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, while subacute cutaneous lesions were less frequent.
