RESUMEN

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) significantly impacts patients' psychological well-being, and treatment options have historically been limited. However, the advent of low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) has revolutionized AGA management. This study compares the treatment response and safety of LDOM in patients with AGA alone versus those with AGA unmasked by telogen effluvium. Our findings indicate that LDOM is effective and safe for both groups, showing comparable efficacy and safety profiles. These results support the use of LDOM as a reliable treatment option for AGA, potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

RESUMEN

Alopecia areata (AA) has long been considered a challenging clinical condition, with dermatologists traditionally employing corticosteroids and immunosuppressants in search of effective solutions. The introduction of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), specifically the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of baricitinib, marked a significant breakthrough in the treatment of AA. Clinical trials have shown promising results with baricitinib, and reports of relapse after initial success are scarce. We present a unique case of a 30-year-old male with severe patch-type AA who initially responded well to baricitinib treatment but later experienced a relapse despite continued treatment.

RESUMEN

The widespread adoption of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity has sparked investigations into their impact on hair health, an area characterized by diverse conjectures. Some propose potential risks such as disrupted hair growth cycles or premature androgenetic alopecia (AGA), while others suggest benefits linked to improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced scalp blood circulation. However, despite these theoretical underpinnings, clinical evidence linking GLP-1 agonists to hair loss remains sparse. The necessity for vigilant patient monitoring and collaborative efforts cannot be overstressed in comprehensively addressing any potential consequences of GLP-1 agonist therapy on hair health as their use continues to expand.

RESUMEN

Keratosis pilaris atrophicans faciei (KPAF) and frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) present diagnostic challenges due to their similar clinical characteristics. Dermatologists often employ overlapping treatment regimens, which may hinder accurate diagnosis and treatment expectations. Genetic testing offers promise for precise diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies, yet its utility in these conditions remains underexplored. This manuscript presents a unique case study of a 36-year-old male with symptoms of both KPAF and FFA, who underwent genetic testing. Despite testing negative for this mutation, the case underscores the potential of genetic testing to enhance diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment outcomes.

RESUMEN

Importance: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are an effective treatment option for patients with certain skin-related conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo, but there is a current US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) boxed warning label for oral and topical JAK inhibitors regarding increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), venous thromboembolism (VTE), serious infections, malignant neoplasm, and death. However, this boxed warning was precipitated by results of the Oral Rheumatoid Arthritis Trial (ORAL) Surveillance study, which only included patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the same association may not be observed in dermatologic conditions. Objective: To determine the risk of all-cause mortality, MACE, and VTE with JAK inhibitors in patients with dermatologic conditions. Data Sources: PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from database inception to April 1, 2023. Study Selection: This review included phase 3 randomized clinical trials with a placebo/active comparator group of JAK inhibitors used for a dermatologic indication with FDA approval or pending approval or with European Union or Japanese approval. Studies without a comparison group, case reports, observational studies, and review articles were excluded. Data Extraction and Synthesis: This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Adverse events using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated using a random-effects model and the DerSimonian-Laird method. Studies were screened, data abstracted, and quality assessed by 2 independent authors. The protocol was prospectively registered with PROSPERO. Main Outcomes and Measures: Primary outcomes were a composite of adjudicated MACE and all-cause mortality, and VTE. Results: The analysis included 35 randomized clinical trials with 20 651 patients (mean [SD] age, 38.5 [10.1] years; male, 54%) and a mean (SD) follow-up time of 4.9 (2.68) months. Findings did not show a significant difference between JAK inhibitors and placebo/active comparator in composite MACE and all-cause mortality (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.44-1.57) or VTE (OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.26-1.04). Conclusions and Relevance: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, use of JAK inhibitors was not associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality, MACE, and VTE compared to the placebo/active comparator groups. Additional trials with long-term follow-up are needed to better understand the safety risks of JAK inhibitors used for dermatologic indications.
