Published: January 1990

Inherited epidermal dysplasia (IED), formerly called baldy calf syndrome, is a lethal disease of calves of Holstein-Friesian ancestry. The disease causes progressive illthrift and skin, horn and hoof lesions, which can be confused with inherited zinc deficiency. The clinicopathological features and ancestry of 10 affected calves in Gippsland, Victoria are described.

Syndromic ichthyoses are a group of disorders whose genetic alterations impact both epidermal and non-epidermal tissues. Therefore, patients present symptoms in other organs. Most are extraordinary and, in some, ichthyosiform desquamation has been poorly described.

Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases sharing symptoms and a common etiopathogenic mechanism. Clinically, these diseases are characterized by the presence of erythema and variable degrees of skin thickening and desquamation. Although the affected area, severity, and molecular substrate are very variable, they are all signs of a disruption of the barrier formed during epidermal differentiation.

In this review, we discuss recent developments in our understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a disease that has become increasingly common and widespread since its first description in 1994. An inherited predisposition to frontal fibrosing alopecia, previously suspected from the occurrence of familial cases, has been confirmed through genetic studies. Nevertheless, the epidemiology continues to implicate environmental factors in the aetiology.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, characterized by the loss or low expression of estrogen receptor (ER), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and progesterone receptor (PR). Due to the lack of clear therapeutic targets, paclitaxel (PTX) is often used as a first-line standard chemotherapy drug for the treatment of high-risk and locally advanced TNBC. PTX is a diterpenoid alkaloid extracted and purified from Taxus plants, functioning as an anticancer agent by inducing and promoting tubulin polymerization, inhibiting spindle formation in cancer cells, and preventing mitosis.
