Plica neuropathica (Polonica) is a common but rarely reported scalp hair condition. In this condition the hairs of scalp in a localized area is compacted into irregularly twisted, irreversibly entangled plaits. Psychological disturbance is a risk factor for plica formation. We report a case of plica neuropathica in an adult female with schizophrenia.

Genetic Variants and Lifestyle Factors in Androgenetic Alopecia Patients: A Case-Control Study of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Their Contribution to Baldness Risk.
Nutrients

Epidemiology Unit, Istituto Dermopatico dell'Immacolata (IDI-IRCCS-FLMM), 00167 Rome, Italy.
Unlabelled: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found to be associated with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) to date, are characterized by an apparent reduced penetrance into the phenotype suggesting a role of other factors in the etiology of AGA.
Objective: We conducted a study to investigate the role of specific allelic variants in AGA controlling for nutritional and lifestyle factors.
Methods: Individual patterns of SNPs present in the baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11 (rs1160312 and rs6113491) or close to the androgen receptor (AR) gene in chromosome X (rs1041668) were investigated in 212 male subjects.
Recent Advances in Stroke Genetics-Unraveling the Complexity of Cerebral Infarction: A Brief Review.

Background/objectives: Recent advances in stroke genetics have substantially enhanced our understanding of the complex genetic architecture underlying cerebral infarction and other stroke subtypes. As knowledge in this field expands, healthcare providers must remain informed about these latest developments. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in stroke genetics, with a focus on cerebral infarction, and discuss their potential impact on patient care and future research directions.

High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) has been reported to be useful for the diagnosis of cutaneous diseases; however, its two-dimensional nature limits the value both in quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Three-dimensional (3D) visualization might help overcome the weakness of the currently existing HFUS. 3D-HFUS was newly developed and applied to various skin tumors and inflammatory hair diseases to assess its validity and advantages for dermatological use.

Ghrelin (GhRL) is an orexigenic hormone influenced by nutritional state. It plays a role in skin repair and diseases, though little information exists regarding its function in this organ. GhRL and its receptor were investigated in the skin of sheep under different feeding conditions to explore GhRL system presence and possible modifications due to diet.
