This paper presents the case of an adult female, red Doberman pinscher affected by permanent hypotrichosis, limited to the dorsolumbar region and sides of the trunk. The hypotrichosis began at approximately the age of 2 years and progressed slowly with no skin hyperpigmentation. The clinical and histopathological characteristics are of an uncommon form of follicular dysplasia.

Chronic inflammation is a key characteristic of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and is associated with follicular dysplasia in PCOS. PCOS patients treated with 1000 mg resveratrol (RES) daily for 3 months showed significant improvement in menstrual cycle regularity compared to the placebo group. This investigation explores potential impact of RES on a rat model of PCOS.

Decreased nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) content has been shown to contribute to metabolic dysfunction during aging, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the effect of NAD on ovulatory dysfunction in PCOS by regulating glycolysis has not been reported. Based on the observations of granulosa cells (GCs) transcriptome data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, the signal pathways including glycolysis and nicotinate-nicotinamide metabolism were significantly enriched, and most genes of the above pathway like LDHA and SIRT2 were down-regulated in PCOS patients.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates porokeratosis localized to the penis and scrotum, analyzing data from patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2022.
  • Nine patients were included, with a median age of 51, and most had either penile or scrotal lesions, while one had extensive lesions affecting multiple areas.
  • The findings indicate that clinical diagnosis can be challenging and highlights the importance of histopathological examination, as follow-ups showed no recurrence or malignant transformation in patients after biopsy removal.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary atopic disorders (PAD) are rare genetic conditions caused by specific gene variants that affect skin and immune function, making diagnosis challenging among common allergic disease cases.
  • Identifying PAD requires recognizing clinical red flags like family history and unusual infections, as conventional lab tests are inadequate for definitive diagnosis.
  • Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enhances diagnostic efficiency and accuracy, but requires careful interpretation and collaboration among specialists to effectively manage PAD cases.

A case of congenital pili multigemini.

Pediatr Dermatol

August 2024

Department of Dermatology, The Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.

Pili multigemini is an uncommon hair follicle disorder, where multiple hair shafts emerge from the same follicular opening. While it is commonly observed in men's facial hair, it has also been reported, albeit infrequently, in other areas of the body. Here we describe an unusual case of congenital pili multigemini presenting on the eyebrow of a female infant.
