This narrative review evaluates evidence that regional hypothermia can reduce oral, hair, eye, and nail complications from chemotherapy, but highlights the need for more research to address study limitations.

This study found that the tensile strength of curly hair is influenced by two main components, with springiness (toe region) contributing significantly, unlike in noncurly hair where it is negligible.

The researchers reported that applying proteolytic enzymes to mice skin negatively affected hair follicles, leading to degeneration and potential impairment of stem cells from the bulge area.

This report discusses a case of hair toe tourniquet syndrome in an infant and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent severe complications.

This review examines complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS I) mechanisms, including immune dysregulation and psychological factors, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight potential diagnostic refinements.

This chapter reviews patchy hair loss due to skin disease, nail disorders related to chronic trauma, and treatments for small carcinomas, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study developed chemical fingerprints to differentiate Eclipta prostrata and Wedelia calendulacea, two plants often confused and adulterated in the Indian herbal market, identifying distinct chemical profiles that can prevent such adulteration.

A specific gene mutation is linked to a hereditary form of dystonia that responds well to certain medications.

This study found that sweat gland stem cells primarily maintain sweat gland homeostasis but can trans-differentiate to aid in epidermal healing and regenerate diverse skin structures under certain conditions.

This study found that viral warts were the most prevalent skin condition among pediatric patients, emphasizing the importance of HPV prevention in public health efforts for children.

Some treatments like topical oxygen and stem cells show promise for wound healing and hair growth, but evidence for modern dressings over traditional ones is limited.

In this study, two unique mutations in the RBPJ gene were identified and linked to Adams-Oliver syndrome, confirming impaired DNA binding of mutated RBPJ as a factor in this rare genetic disorder.

This article discusses multiple aspects of complex regional pain syndrome, including its diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment, but reports no new scientific findings.

This article presents a case of limb tourniquet syndrome in an elderly patient with memory problems, emphasizing potential regional changes that can cause irreversible damage.

In this study, researchers found that AGD1 is crucial for membrane recruitment during root hair development in Arabidopsis thaliana, with its pleckstrin homology domain essential for targeting specific plasma membrane regions.

This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.

This study identified key regions and transcription factors, including SIX1 and FOXN1 itself, that regulate Foxn1 expression in thymic epithelial cells and hair follicle cells, offering insights into its transcriptional regulation.

This study mapped the curly mutation in mice to a specific region on chromosome 11, identifying it as a candidate model for studying human genetic hair disorders.

This case study documents a 55-year-old male with advanced NSCLC who experienced toe-predominant paronychia and a papulopustular rash following dacomitinib treatment, with the causality tools indicating a "probable" link, yet the therapy continued successfully without dosage alteration.

In this study, researchers observed that mechanosensory neurons initially develop similar morphologies across different skin regions but diverge post-natally, adapting to the type of skin they innervate, with bone morphogenetic protein signaling crucial for forming Meissner corpuscles in glabrous skin.

This report describes two cases of hair tourniquet syndrome successfully treated with hair removal cream, noting its effectiveness as a less invasive option compared to traditional methods like incisions or blunt probe cutting.

Cryotherapy is effective for ingrown toenails, especially in single cases, but has high recurrence in younger and bilateral cases.

In this study, the researchers investigated the plant Vitex negundo and its active ingredients, noting that both natural and synthetic derivatives exhibit concentrated biological activity, which may explain the plant's traditional use in treating various ailments such as depression, malaria, and skin diseases.

This review discusses dermatological issues in llamas, detailing common findings, parasites, and disorders, but reports no new clinical results; it highlights the need for recognizing normal skin variations and discusses potential treatments like zinc therapy for certain conditions.

This article discusses the decline in recognition and appropriate testing of syphilis by medical students due to limited clinical exposure and inconsistent education, with no new clinical results reported.

This report describes a rare case of alopecia areata universalis developing in a child during the recovery phase of phenobarbital-induced anti-convulsant hypersensitivity syndrome, which suggests a mechanism involving lymphocyte-related immune responses.

This study found that the Plcd3(mNab) mutation in mice worsens the alopecia caused by Plcd1 loss, suggesting synergistic effects between Plcd1 and Plcd3 on hair follicle health.

This study suggests that adult hair follicle stem cells can survive and potentially differentiate into neuronal cells after being transplanted in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury, indicating promise for TBI therapy.

This study explored the molecular mechanisms determining the identity of keratinocytes and corneal epithelial cells, finding that miRNAs from the Gtl2-Dio3 region, which regulate key signaling pathways, play a significant role in cell identity through the Hox/Gtl2-Dio3 miRNA axis.
