This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

This diagnostic discussion reports that diffuse alopecia areata was identified in a patient with diffuse hair loss, based on specific histopathological features observed in a biopsy.

This study reports that scalp biopsies in white adults usually have 16.5 hair follicles, primarily in the anagen phase, with male samples showing fewer follicular units but more fibrous tracts in certain areas.

Other common signs, not just the well-known immune cells around hair bulbs, are important for diagnosing hair loss from alopecia areata.

Polarized microscopy is a quick and free method to correctly identify types of hair loss.
