TLDR Auto-portraits help evaluate scalp hair.

This document contains various studies and case studies on topics unrelated to hair loss, alopecia, or hair growth. These include studies on toenail onychomycosis, hirsutism in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, and the auto-portraits of Pablo Picasso as a means of self-evaluation. One study confirms the genetic role in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata, while another suggests that auto-portraits can be a reliable method for self-evaluation of scalp hair. Sequential therapy with itraconazole and terbinafine was found to be effective in managing toenail onychomycosis.
