June 2026 in “Frontiers in Medicine” The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the 308-nm excimer laser as an adjuvant treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) in 30 patients, primarily women, with a mean age of 65.2 years. After 6 months, 53.3% of patients experienced stabilization of hairline recession, 20% showed improvement, and 26.7% had progression of alopecia. Additionally, 83.3% of patients showed improvement in erythema, and 70% showed improvement in perifollicular hyperkeratosis. The only adverse effect was transient erythema in 4 patients. The excimer laser appears to be a promising and safe option for FFA when used alongside existing treatments.

January 2025 in “Genetics in Medicine Open” A 33-year-old male initially misdiagnosed with neuromyelitis optica was found to have late onset biotinidase deficiency, a condition that can mimic neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis. His symptoms included progressive spastic diplegia, bilateral optic atrophy, and peripheral neuropathy. Serum biotinidase testing revealed a marked deficiency, leading to a revised diagnosis. Treatment with 10 mg of biotin daily is underway, with potential for reversing ophthalmologic findings and some myelopathy. The case highlights the importance of considering biotinidase deficiency in similar clinical presentations, as testing is quick and inexpensive, and can significantly alter management. Further research is needed to understand the incidence of this deficiency in patients with neuromyelitis optica and multiple sclerosis diagnoses.
