A boy with a rare birthmark called verrucous hemangioma needed careful timing for surgery due to its size and depth.

This review explores finasteride's effects on neuroactive steroid levels and their potential influence on disorders like depression and alcohol withdrawal but reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses the role of suction-assisted lipectomy (SAL) and the hCG method in obesity management, highlighting the speculative benefits of hCG but reporting no new clinical findings.

In this study, PGD2 was shown to increase testosterone production in human keratinocytes through reactive oxygen species, suggesting potential benefits of antioxidants like N-acetyl-cysteine for AGA patients.

This article discusses the potential of acupuncture as a complementary or alternative therapy for PCOS, highlighting experimental evidence of its positive effects on reproductive and metabolic function, but reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews genetic defects in female sexual differentiation, focusing on 46,XX disorders of sex development and the impact of genetic factors and sex steroids on development, but reports no new clinical findings.

This case report highlights two instances of suspected human herpesvirus 6 reactivation in patients with existing psychiatric disorders, underscoring the need for further research into the relationship between viral reactivation and psychiatric conditions.

This case report discusses a patient with VHL-associated paraganglioma, highlighting the importance of genetic testing and monitoring in those with VHL disease, due to high mutation penetrance and associated risks.

This study outlines the features and diagnosis of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, highlighting its association with specific genes, its prevalence among pigmented races, and treatment with systemic steroids and immunosuppressants.

This case report details an occurrence of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease during pegylated interferon-α2b and ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C.

This case report describes a rare instance of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease in a 21-year-old Asian woman, highlighting unusual oral manifestations such as tooth discoloration and misalignment, which expand the known clinical spectrum of the disorder.

This study found that CMV infection in a mouse model of allogeneic transplantation was associated with increased allo-reactive T cell expansion and exacerbated graft-versus-host disease, highlighting the need for effective GvHD prophylaxis and treatment.

This case report describes a young adult female with late-stage Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease featuring panuveitis, retinal detachment, hearing loss, alopecia, and vitiligo, who was successfully treated in a hospital.

The mutation causes hairless mice due to mislocalized and dysfunctional HR protein.

This case report describes the first instance of juvenile hemochromatosis type 2A associated with secondary hypothyroidism, linked to a novel mutation in the HJV gene.

This study observed that among patients with Myhre syndrome, those with the SMAD4 gene variant p.Arg496Cys experienced fewer symptoms like hearing loss, while those with the p.Ile500Thr variant often had severe aortic hypoplasia, highlighting the diverse symptom progression and genetic factors of this rare condition.

This study found that the mutant hairless rhino bald protein in mice interacts with the vitamin D receptor but cannot repress its transactivation and shows abnormal cellular localization.

This study found that DVd therapy is at least as effective as VAD/VAd for treating multiple myeloma and causes fewer side effects and reduced hospital visits.

In this case report, a 25-year-old woman with VKHD experienced an unusual occurrence of vellus-like hair growth on her normally hairless palm, observed twice over two years, expanding the known integumentary manifestations of VKHD.

This research highlights the potential of non-coding RNAs as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in dermatology, while experimental studies on a unique GVM case suggest CCM2L may modulate disease severity, advancing understanding of genetic mechanisms in rare skin disorders.

This study identified two novel mutations in the CDH3 gene causing HJMD in a Chinese patient, expanding the genetic and phenotypic understanding of the disorder.

This case study reports that adding adalimumab to a 12-year-old VKH patient's treatment allowed for ocular inflammation remission, vision improvement, and corticosteroid tapering, suggesting escalation of immunosuppression may be critical in pediatric VKH cases.

This study suggests that varicella-zoster virus infection in skin cells may play a role in segmental vitiligo's progression and depigmentation.

This article discusses a case of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, detailing symptoms, diagnostic features, and treatment with corticosteroids, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This description of dystrophy hypotrichosis associated with juvenile macular dystrophy provides an overview of this rare disorder characterized by short hair from birth and progressive loss of central vision but reports no new findings.

This study created a humanized mouse model of hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets that lacks alopecia, indicating the mutant receptor's potential to explore the syndrome's characteristics beyond vitamin D binding.

This case study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome, particularly emphasizing the role dermatologists can play in identifying early signs such as hair loss.

In this study, a novel VDR gene mutation was identified in a child with HVDRR, and the researchers observed that high-dose intravenous calcium therapy led to significant and sustained improvement in rickets symptoms.
