This survey estimates that the number of follicular units with "permanent" hair available for transplant varies based on hair density and projected male pattern baldness type, providing guidelines for realistic surgical goals.

In this study, the combination of binahong leaf and lemongrass extracts was found to effectively inhibit the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale, with the strongest fungal growth inhibition observed at a 50% concentration of each extract.

This study found that hair diameter varies significantly within the occipital safe donor area, with thicker hair in the upper sections and thinner hair in the lower sections.

This study used a novel fluorescent tagging method in mice to observe collagen IV dynamics during hair follicle development, revealing that alterations in basement membrane turnover can influence epithelial progenitor cell behavior and organ morphology by affecting cell proliferation and movement.

This study estimates the prevalence of hyperandrogenic states in late adolescent and young females, revealing that these disorders often begin at a young age.

In this study, researchers found that 32.5% of stray cats in Bogor, Indonesia, tested positive for dermatophyte infections, specifically Microsporum canis, highlighting the potential zoonotic risk these cats pose.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment successfully cured a dog with erythematous epilation caused by Chaetomium globosum, with new hair growth observed 9 weeks later.

In this animal study, hibiscus leaf simplicia ointment was found to protect red blood cell levels and promote better hair growth in UV-exposed rats, though it did not maintain normal skin histology; the ointment showed no significant acute dermal toxicity.

In this study, dermatophytosis in cattle around Parbhani was found to have a prevalence of 17.2%, with Clove oil treatment showing the quickest recovery in 7 days.

Older adults still engage in sexual activities but face challenges like health issues and lack of professional support, highlighting the need for better healthcare provider education and research on sexual fulfillment in old age.

This study observed a high prevalence of the dermatophyte M. canis in humans and pets in Egypt, particularly highlighting the potential for zoonotic transmission from dogs and cats to humans.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

In this study, researchers identified optimal hair follicle and follicular unit densities for successful hair transplantation in male patients with androgenetic alopecia in China.

This study concluded that sebaceous glands are the main pathway for the antiandrogen RU 58841 to permeate the skin, with liposomes enhancing localization in these glands.

This study found that arginine-loaded lipidic nanoparticles improved hair follicle growth in male hamsters more effectively than an aqueous arginine solution.

In this study, a curved nonrotary punch was found to achieve the lowest follicular unit transection rates of less than 5% compared to conventional rotary punches in hair transplantation for patients with tightly curled Afro-textured hair.

This article describes a modified follicular unit extraction technique using a reverse rake scalp elevator, which may reduce follicular transection rates in hair transplantation from the lower occipital donor region.

This study found that multiparametric ultrasound effectively detects real-time scalp changes caused by vasoconstrictive cosmetic agents, demonstrating its potential as a non-invasive tool for evaluating trichological treatments.

This study suggests that fibromodulin may regulate transforming growth factor-β activity during scar formation, influencing the transition from fetal scarless repair to adult scar-forming repair in rats.

This study found that sorafenib was active against desmoid tumors, with 25% of patients achieving a partial response and 70% maintaining stable disease.
