This case report highlights that Tjalma Syndrome may present as a main symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus and should be considered in patients with ascites, pleural effusions, and elevated CA-125 levels.

This study examines how the Severity of Alopecia Tool score was used to assess Alopecia Areata in patients while excluding systemic conditions that might affect vitamin D levels, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, the absence of skin rash and low levels of complement C3 were significant risk factors for developing lupus nephritis, with their combination demonstrating good predictive diagnostic value.

This review discusses how environmental factors like lifestyle, nutrition, and vitamin deficiencies may influence autoimmune diseases such as MS, SLE, and AA, highlighting associations with vitamin D levels and dietary interventions, but notes a lack of conclusive evidence for their roles in disease pathogenesis.

This study evaluated hormonal differences in males with early androgenetic alopecia, finding increased serum testosterone, prolactin, LH, LH/FSH, and FAI levels, with decreased FSH and SHBG levels, compared to controls without hair loss.

This review posits that alopecia in PCOS results from the interaction between local follicular signaling failures, insulin resistance, inflammation, and genetic predispositions, rather than solely from androgen excess, and recommends a systems-level framework for its management.

This study found that using an LED array with an 863 nm wavelength delayed tumor development and reduced systemic inflammatory cytokines in DMBA/TPA-induced mouse skin tumors, suggesting potential but limited benefits of light therapy.

This study suggests elevated homocysteine levels may serve as a biomarker for disease severity and vascular risk in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, indicating potential therapeutic benefits from B-vitamin supplementation and lifestyle changes.

This study observed that hair cortisol levels increased during pregnancy and positively correlated with certain systemic cytokines postpartum, suggesting potential associations with perinatal outcomes.

This study found that patients with hidradenitis suppurativa had significantly higher levels of cell-free DNA in their serum compared to healthy controls, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for the disease.

In this study, researchers assessed cortisol levels in wolves by comparing hair and fecal samples and found a significant correlation, indicating that hair cortisol accurately reflects systemic levels, but season and body region affect results.

This study found that African-American and Hispanic patients with systemic lupus erythematosus reported higher levels of unmet psychological needs and may be more prone to depression and anxiety due to SLE-related challenges.

This case report illustrates the risk of skin necrosis in patients with high antiphospholipid antibody levels after stopping anticoagulation therapy, highlighting the necessity for careful monitoring.

This study in North India found that patients with alopecia areata have significantly higher levels of coagulation markers, metabolic dysregulation, and systemic inflammation compared to healthy controls, and these factors are linked with disease severity, indicating potential systemic implications beyond localized hair loss.

In this case report, a woman with unexplained hair loss and high ANA levels developed systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of monitoring autoantibodies for early lupus detection and management.

This review discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, systemic associations, and treatments for female pattern hair loss and reports no new clinical findings.

This guideline reports that corticosteroids are the only topical treatment for alopecia areata with a high recommendation level, while systemic corticosteroids and JAK inhibitors are recommended for adults.

In this case-control study, individuals with alopecia areata showed significantly elevated levels of inflammatory markers IL-4, IFN-γ, and CRP, as well as reduced serum Folate and Ferritin, suggesting the condition's multifactorial pathophysiology involves immune activation, systemic inflammation, and micronutrient deficiencies.

This study observed that PD-1+CXCR5-CD4+T peripheral helper cells are significantly elevated in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and are correlated with disease activity indicators, suggesting their potential role in lupus pathogenesis.

This study found that among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, those with chronic symptoms, lower education levels, or no health insurance reported higher levels of depression and anxiety.

This study found that topical finasteride significantly increased hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to placebo while maintaining similar efficacy to oral finasteride but with lower systemic exposure and a reduced impact on serum DHT levels, potentially minimizing sexual side effects.

This study reported that four patients with lichen planopilaris showed dramatic improvement, including symptom reduction and hair regrowth, after treatment with low-level light therapy.

This report describes cases of transient thyrotoxicosis potentially linked to oral retinoid treatment, suggesting a possible mechanism involving increased iodine uptake by thyroid cells.

This case report describes a young girl with a rare association of anti-SRP positive necrotizing autoimmune myopathy and systemic lupus erythematosus, who responded well to corticosteroid treatment.

This case report describes a 30-year-old woman with severe hypoalbuminemia related to suspected SLE, who showed improvement in albumin levels after three days of treatment including IV albumin and dietary protein.

PRO-C22 can help diagnose and monitor the severity of hidradenitis suppurativa.

Combining low-level laser therapy with topical corticosteroids effectively improved Lichen Planopilaris symptoms.

This case report suggests that systemic lupus erythematosus can be a rare cause of severe hypercalcemia, potentially due to stimulating parathyroid hormone receptor autoantibodies.

This guideline outlines the management of systemic lupus erythematosus in adults but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had higher systemic inflammation markers compared to healthy controls, and these markers were associated with a greater risk of severe disease.
