A Review of the Scoring and Assessment of Keratosis Pilaris
Disease severity assessment tools play a large part in evaluating skin conditions in dermatology. Currently, there is no existing validated assessment tool for keratosis pilaris (KP), a benign yet highly prevalent follicular disorder. A range of proposed scoring tools have been used in different clinical trials for the assessment of potential treatments for KP. A literature review of the current scoring systems used for KP shows that there is a lack of consistency with most studies using varying versions of unvalidated investigator global assessment (IGA) scores and quartile grading systems. A review of these studies shows...

Onychogryphosis Is Associated with Dermatologic and Vascular Disease: A Case-Control Study of the All of Us Research Program
Conclusion: Onychogryphosis was positively associated with increased age, activity limitations (difficulty running errands alone, bathing, and concentrating), psoriasis, onychomycosis, hallux malleus, hallux valgus, peripheral vascular disease, lower extremity ulcers, venous varices, and type II diabetes mellitus. Therefore, physicians should screen patients presenting with onychogryphosis for these conditions.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

A Rare Type of Radiation-Induced Alopecia: Proton-Induced Alopecia
Conclusion: PIA is a subtype of RIA still poorly studied in the literature. Hair loss is caused by aggression by radiations of the hair follicle in the anagen phase, leading to an interruption of the mitotic activity of the matrix cells. The cells of the follicular bulb are characterized by marked mitotic activity at this stage and are consequently more susceptible to cytotoxic damage. All this causes tightening of the proximal portion of the hair shaft, increasing its fragility and susceptibility to breakage.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)
