    Studysummary This study found that in poodles, perifollicular changes in the hair follicle glassy membrane are not always linked to calcium deposition. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
    The study investigated perifollicular changes in the hair follicle glassy membrane of poodles, focusing on whether these changes were always associated with calcium deposition. It involved 147 dogs divided into three groups: 91 normal poodles, 40 dogs of other breeds, and 16 dogs diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism. The findings revealed that these changes in poodles were not consistently linked to calcium deposition. The study concluded that specific staining is necessary to accurately identify true calcium deposition during histological examinations of poodle skin.
