Traditional Chinese medications can cause skin reactions, and better testing and reporting are needed to identify allergens.

This study found that prostate cancer aggressiveness in men with obesity is associated with changes in age, BMI, testosterone, and estradiol levels, and that adipocyte-secreted molecules increase cancer cell aggressiveness in vitro.

This chapter reviews the role of self in disorders related to the OCD spectrum, such as hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and trichotillomania, and reports no new findings.

This study found that certain lncRNA gene polymorphisms in HOTAIR and MALAT1 are associated with increased susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus, potentially informing clinical applications.

This study found that certain genetic variations in the OPN gene may be linked to atopic dermatitis and a higher prevalence of asthma in Caucasians.

This study found that elevated tissue RBP4 levels correlate with disease severity in alopecia areata and decrease after effective baricitinib treatment, while the rs3758539 polymorphism is linked to disease susceptibility but not to treatment response.

This study identified the FGF5:c.578C>T variant as linked to long hair in Akitas in Japan and suggests that genetic testing could help improve their breeding practices and welfare.

This study investigated the TG5 gene polymorphism in Lithuanian beef cattle, finding that the CC genotype is associated with higher productivity traits, such as live weight and carcass weight, compared to other genotypes, and noted a statistically significant impact on these traits.

Low testosterone levels may lead to more severe COVID-19 outcomes.

The researchers reported two brothers with a new variant of X-linked trichothiodystrophy associated with an RNF113A gene mutation, highlighting features such as intellectual disability and growth failure, but without previously reported endocrinological or genital abnormalities, underlining the importance of genetic counseling for such variants.

This report highlights a case where dermoscopic observation of corkscrew hairs in a young woman led to the diagnosis of trichotillomania, emphasizing its role in distinguishing this psychiatric disorder from other forms of non-scarring alopecia and highlighting the importance of timely intervention.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type one presenting with the rare conditions of trichothiodystrophy and retinal atrophy.

This case report identifies a 23-year-old man with congenital triangular alopecia, a non-scarring alopecia characterized by preserved follicles and vellus hair, for which unnecessary interventions should be avoided.

This research quantified the fidelity of human mitochondrial DNA polymerase and found it averages 1 error in 440,000 nucleotides, impacting its function related to disease and mitochondrial health.

This study found that topical ruxolitinib protected Lgr5+ skin stem cells and maintained skin homeostasis in skin GVHD, unlike corticosteroids.

This article reviews the genetic basis, diagnostic approaches, and treatment options for nude severe combined immunodeficiency, but does not present any new research findings.

This study reports the first familial case of alopecia linked to a novel homozygous variant in the DSP gene, which did not coincide with heart abnormalities despite prior associations.

This study found that an SNP in the FGFR2 gene, rs4752566, was significantly associated with hair thickness in Asian populations, suggesting an effect on hair morphology through altered FGFR2 expression levels.

This study found that specific DNA variants in the TCHH, WNT10A, and FRAS1 genes are associated with predicting straight hair in Europeans, showing high sensitivity but low specificity, especially using a neural networks approach.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This study found that adjuvant sorafenib after hepatic resection improved overall survival in patients with intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, compared to surgery only.

This study found that incorporating cell-adhesive ligands into 3D peptide hydrogels supports the survival and osteogenic differentiation of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells.

This study found that women with acne had higher rates of hyperandrogenism and obesity, and higher androgen levels and BMI were linked to increased acne severity.

In this study, researchers found that a subset of mammary cells with active Wnt signaling in mice does not develop tumors upon ErbB2 activation and instead undergoes apoptosis, potentially protecting against carcinogenesis.

This study found that in PCOS patients, variations in the lipin 1 gene, particularly the intron 1 SNP, may protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, highlighting a potential genetic factor in the disorder's cardiometabolic complications.

If a child is losing a lot of eyelashes and it keeps happening, doctors should look carefully at their health history because it might be a sign of a different health problem.

This case report found that dermoscopy, showing characteristic "comma" and "corkscrew" hairs, effectively identified tinea capitis in a 7-year-old girl, allowing for early treatment before confirmation with fungal culture.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting hyperactivation of the HPA axis may affect metabolic and inflammatory markers in those with elevated cortisol levels.

This study found that sex hormone-binding globulin promotes facial aging, while sex steroid hormones such as testosterone and estradiol inhibit it, with growth hormone levels showing no significant effect.

In this cross-sectional study at a tertiary care hospital, researchers found a significant correlation between cutaneous manifestations like hirsutism and acne and biochemical hyperandrogenism levels in women with PCOS, suggesting these skin conditions can predict elevated androgen levels.
