A comprehensive investigation of biochemical status in patients with telogen effluvium: Analysis of Hb, ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, thyroid function tests, zinc, copper, biotin, and selenium levels.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the nutritional status and levels of certain vitamins and minerals in women with chronic telogen effluvium (TE) compared to a control group, focusing on deficiencies that might contribute to the condition.
- - Results showed that zinc (Zn) levels were significantly lower in TE patients, while selenium (Se) levels were higher; however, no notable differences were found for hemoglobin, ferritin, vitamin B12, thyroid function, vitamin D, copper (Cu), or biotin levels.
- - The Cu/Zn ratio and Se levels emerged as significant indicators for diagnosing chronic telogen effluvium, suggesting a potential link between these nutrient levels and hair loss.
Predictors of malignancy in melanocytic lesions presenting as new lesions compared to baseline total body photography: A case-control study.

Background: Only a small per cent of new melanocytic lesions developing in adults are expected to represent melanomas. Total body photography (TBP) has been widely incorporated in clinical practice, especially for follow-up of high-risk individuals with multiple naevi. However, dynamic changes detected with TBP need to be interpreted with caution to avoid unnecessary excisions.

Introduction: Although the dermoscopic features of facial lentiginous melanomas (LM), including lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma, have been extensively studied, the literature about those located on the scalp is scarce. This study aims to describe the dermoscopic features of scalp LM and assess the diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy to discriminate them from equivocal benign pigmented macules.
Methods: Consecutive cases of scalp LM and histopathology-proven benign but clinically equivocal pigmented macules (actinic keratoses, solar lentigos, seborrhoeic keratoses, and lichen planus-like keratoses) from four referral centres were included.
Lentigo maligna and lentigo maligna melanoma in patients younger than 50 years: a multicentre international clinical-dermoscopic study.
Clin Exp Dermatol
January 2024
Department of Dermatology.
Background: Lentigo maligna/lentigo maligna melanoma (LM/LMM) is usually diagnosed in older patients, when lesions are larger. However, it is important to detect it at an earlier stage to minimize the area for surgical procedure.
Objectives: To determine and define clinical, dermoscopic and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of LM/LMM in patients < 50 years old.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) was the seventh most common cancer in the world in 2018. Treatment of a patient may include surgery, radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these methods. Ionizing radiation used during RT covers relatively large volumes of healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.
