This case report describes a 41-year-old man with preauricular and postauricular plaques unresponsive to topical treatments, with lab results indicating low-titer antibodies for Sjögren syndrome A and B.

Coconut oil boosts testosterone but doesn't fully trigger reproductive maturity in pufferfish.

This study explores the physical properties of hair from various wild mammalian species using polarized light microscopy, aiming to correlate these properties with the internal structures such as the medulla, cortex, and keratin cuticle.

In this research, Holstein cows immunized with human hair keratin produced antibodies in both colostrum and regular milk that specifically bind to hair keratin, enhancing hair tensile strength without affecting skin keratin.

A man was diagnosed with a rare form of lupus after showing unique skin symptoms that responded well to treatment.

This case report describes a rare patient with Sjogren's syndrome who experienced recurrent pneumothorax, resolved through surgical intervention, highlighting pneumothorax as an unusual complication of the condition.

This review discusses the history and development of techniques for detecting bioelectromagnetic emissions in living tissue and reports no new experimental results; potential medical applications are explored.

This case study details a 31-year-old woman diagnosed with secondary syphilis that presented with chronic headaches and hair loss, ultimately attributed to neurosyphilis and alopecia syphilitica.

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 report highlights that careful interpretation of ANA-IF titers and patterns is crucial for the early detection of systemic lupus erythematosus, underscoring the role of specific autoantibody profiling in achieving precise diagnosis.

This case report describes a 32-year-old Filipino female with mixed connective tissue disease who sequentially developed distinct autoimmune disorders over seven years, highlighting the complexities in diagnosis and management of overlap syndromes.

In this report, a 58-year-old woman with ocular myasthenia gravis experienced complete resolution of symptoms and hair regrowth after six months of treatment with the JAK inhibitor baricitinib, highlighting a potential new therapeutic approach for this condition.

This case study describes a 29-year-old man who presented with a fever and a generalized maculopapular rash, alongside symptoms like hair loss and joint pain, leading to an investigation into whether his condition was a case of the "great masquerader.

This study found that in female patients with COVID-19-related hair loss, diffuse hair loss and antinuclear antibody positivity might be linked to high antibody levels triggered by the infection.

This case report details a 38-year-old woman in Sri Lanka diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus-associated protein-losing enteropathy, identified through hypoalbuminemia and EULAR criteria in a resource-limited setting.

In this case study, a 26-year-old female with PLEC mutations and features of muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis showed significant improvement in symptoms following steroid treatment.

This case study reports that a 26-year-old woman with epidermolysis bullosa prurogompsa also presented with unique findings of co-existing muscular dystrophy and immune-based myasthenia gravis, with significant improvement following steroid treatment.

This case report describes a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, leading to improved right heart function after treatment with diuretics, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants.

This review discusses the history and evolution of techniques for detecting bioelectromagnetic emissions from living tissues, exploring potential medical applications, but does not present new experimental results.

This study observed that first-degree relatives of SLE patients display unique clinical and immunological profiles, showing elevated ANA titers and specific autoantibody patterns compared to healthy individuals.

This article discusses the trichoscopic diagnosis of temporal triangular alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This study reported six pediatric cases of temporal triangular alopecia and highlighted the use of trichoscopy to distinguish it by detecting a distinctive carpet of vellus hair, helping to differentiate TTA from other hair loss conditions.

This study suggests that trichoscopy with a handheld dermatoscope may help differentiate temporal triangular alopecia from other localized alopecia by identifying specific hair features.

This article reviews the Directory of Open Access Journals, an extensive global index of quality open access journals, and reports no new results.

In this report, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable tool for diagnosing temporal triangular alopecia in children due to its ability to reveal distinctive patterns that differentiate it from similar conditions like alopecia areata, eliminating the need for invasive biopsy.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania incognita in an adult female that mimicked female pattern hair loss, highlighting the importance of trichoscopy and histology for accurate diagnosis.

This study found that white females with female pattern hair loss had higher hair density in the occipital scalp area, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This case report highlights trichotillomania's distinguishing "tonsure pattern" and nail-biting, emphasizing the need to differentiate it from other hair loss types due to differing treatments.

In this study, researchers found that the gene Dkk4 influences color pattern formation in domestic cat fetuses, and its mutation is linked to the Ticked pattern type.

Temporal triangular alopecia is a lifelong condition with hairless patches on the side of the head that may be present from birth.
