TLDR The document corrects a missing conflict of interest and acknowledges a pioneer in hair transplantation and his other contributions.
The document includes a correction regarding a missing conflict of interest disclosure for an article on the efficacy and tolerance of anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha agents in cutaneous sarcoidosis, where it was added that Dr. Chosidow received personal honorarium fees from Abbvie in 2016. Additionally, it features a notable note on Norman Orentreich, MD, who is recognized as the father of hair transplantation. Orentreich performed the first hair transplantation surgery for male pattern baldness in 1952 and later introduced the concept of 'donor dominance'. His early method of punch grafting led to a "doll's head" appearance, which was later improved upon with mini-micro grafting and follicular unit transplantation techniques that are used today. The document also mentions a correction to a misspelling of a coauthor's surname in a different article and acknowledges Orentreich's other contributions, including founding a biomedical research organization and developing the Clinique cosmetic brand.
