Hair follicle stem cell differentiation is inhibited through a cross talk between Wnt/β‐catenin and androgen signalling in dermal papilla cells from patients with androgenetic alopecia

CD8+ T-Cell Deficiency, Epstein-Barr Virus Infection, Vitamin D Deficiency, and Steps to Autoimmunity: A Unifying Hypothesis
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:18:57 +0100 | International Journal of Photoenergy
CD8+ T-cell deficiency is a feature of many chronic autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, psoriasis, vitiligo, bullous pemphigoid, alopecia areata, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, type 1 diabetes mellitus, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis, IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and pernicious anaemia. It also occurs in healthy blood relatives of patients with autoimmune diseases, suggesting it is genetically determined. Here it is proposed that this CD8+ T-cell deficiency underlies the development of chronic autoimmune dise...

Case Series of Selenium Toxicity From A Nutritional Supplement. Aldosary BM et al. Clin Toxicol 2012;50:57-64.
Abstract
This case series describes9 patient who developed selenium toxicity after ingesting a nutritional supplement that contained 200 times the recommend concentration of selenium. Patients presented with signs and symptoms characteristic of selenium toxicity: alopecia, dystrophic fingernail changes, gastrointestinal symptoms, and memory deficits. All symptoms resolve when exposure to selenium was terminated.
Selenium is an essential trace element that can be harmful when taken in excess. the precise toxic mechanism is not known.
Another toxic cause of alopecia is thallium.
For more on excess in selenium in dietary supplements, see this release from the CDCP.

The management of EGFR inhibitor adverse events: a case series and treatment paradigm.
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 03:31:03 +0100 | Herpes
Conclusion The most common cutaneous adverse event in our cohort was papulopustular rash, followed by eczema and xerosis. Patients were managed with symptom target therapy, and suspension of the EGFR inhibitor was rarely required. As the use of EGFR inhibitors increases, it is important to promptly identify and treat adverse events. Further studies are necessary to develop targeted therapeutic and preventative measures.

Are medical communities the new marketing demographic?

Have you heard about the bald Barbie movement? It’s a grassroots, digital campaign asking Mattel to make a version of the doll without her trademark golden locks to benefit children with illness. According to the group’s Facebook page, which has gained more than 130,000 fans in less than a month, bald Barbie would let “children suffering cancer, alopecia and any other illness that causes them to lose their hair, feel just as beautiful as the dolls they play with.”
Regardless of how people feel about the plastic fashion icon—she’s been around for more than half a century but still seems to be a very polarizing figure; often because of her figure—the online support for bald Barbie is undeniable. Many people seem ready to overlook any issues they may have had...
