Endotoxemia and circulating bacteriome in severe COVID-19 patients.

Background: When severe, COVID-19 shares many clinical features with bacterial sepsis. Yet, secondary bacterial infection is uncommon. However, as epithelium is injured and barrier function is lost, bacterial products entering the circulation might contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19.

Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution (FAPD) is a relatively new entity in the family of cicatricial alopecia. It has been categorized as a member of the lichen planopilaris (LPP) group due to its similarity in clinical and histopathological presentation. Nonetheless, the disease earns its own entity due to its lichenoid inflammation exclusively involving miniaturized hair and area of involvement mimicking pattern hair loss which differentiates itself from other types of LPP or pattern hair loss.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia in Asians: a retrospective clinical study.

Background: Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a distinctive form of primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia and predominantly occurs in postmenopausal women. The condition is increasing in prevalence worldwide. However, there is a paucity of information regarding FFA in Asians because of a lack of published literature.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of using 0.01% versus 0.03% bimatoprost for the treatment of eyebrow hypotrichosis: A randomized, double-blind, split-face, comparative study.

Background: Previous studies have proven the efficacy and safety of 0.01% and 0.03% bimatoprost for the treatment of eyebrow hypotrichosis; however, there is no comparison study between both concentrations.

Therapeutic potential of bimatoprost for the treatment of eyebrow hypotrichosis.

Eyebrows serve as a key feature of the face and have many roles, including cosmetic appearance and social communication. Eyebrow hypotrichosis, which refers to reduction or absence of the eyebrow hair, could be a major problem that leads to negative functional, psychological, and social consequences. Bimatoprost is an ophthalmic prostamide analog that is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis.

A retrospective comparative study of the efficacy and safety of two regimens of diphenylcyclopropenone in the treatment of recalcitrant alopecia areata.

Diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) is an effective topical immunotherapy for recalcitrant alopecia areata (AA), which sometimes requires prolonged treatment. We developed a new treatment protocol to shorten the duration of therapy. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the new treatment protocol with the standard treatment protocol in the treatment of recalcitrant AA.

Although the majority of patients get hair regrowth, it can potentially lead to permanent hair loss.

Diffuse Dermal Angiomatosis: A Clue to the Diagnosis of Atherosclerotic Vascular Disease.

Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is a benign, acquired, reactive vascular proliferation. DDA is clinically characterized by painful purpuric plaque with central ulceration. The histopathologic hallmark is diffuse proliferation of endothelial cells that are arranged interstitially between collagen bundles of the reticular dermis.
