This review provides a framework for diagnosing acquired scalp alopecias and discusses both non-scarring and scarring types, but reports no new clinical results.

The conclusion is that different types of hair loss in dogs and cats can be cosmetic or serious, and affected animals should not be bred.

This case report describes the first dermoscopic evaluation of alopecia areata-like disease in a dog, where the condition mirrored human cases in terms of clinical presentation and treatment response.

This study describes a case of a 35-year-old woman who developed symptoms of hyperandrogenism and disrupted steroidogenesis due to chronic use of electronic cigarettes containing compounds similar to etomidate, despite no genetic mutation indicating 11β-hydroxylase deficiency.

This study suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair, which typically appears at or after puberty, may be androgen dependent and could progress to male pattern baldness.

This discussion suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair in androgen-dependent scalp areas may indicate the early stages of androgenetic alopecia with a poor prognosis, but it offers no new clinical findings.

This article discusses various forms of alopecia, emphasizing the need for light microscopy to investigate hair shaft disorders, and does not report new clinical findings.

Trichoscopy is effective in diagnosing trichotillomania by showing specific hair patterns.

In this retrospective study conducted at a dermatology institute in Mexico, researchers analyzed 1,888 adult alopecia cases, identifying alopecia areata as the most common type. The study underscores the importance of regional studies to better understand alopecia patterns and inform management strategies.

This article illustrates various hair shaft defects and suggests that dermatologists can diagnose most of them using light microscopy and polarization without needing advanced imaging techniques.

This study found that inadequate ferritin levels, rather than haemoglobin levels, indicated iron deficiency in women with telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and female pattern hair loss.

This paper reviews the classification and diagnostic approaches for different types of alopecia, emphasizing the importance of early etiological diagnosis to prevent irreversible hair follicle damage in scarring forms.

This article reviews androgenetic alopecia, detailing its genetic and hormonal causes, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment options, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article describes the first documented case of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

This review examines the androgen-dependent subtype of acquired progressive kinking of the hair and suggests it may be an early indicator of androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between subtypes for clinical decisions.

This study observed that hair loss in 110 patients most commonly appeared as patchy alopecia and was predominantly non-cicatricial and acquired in nature.

This source provides no abstract, offering no results or conclusions on a case involving a 14-year-old boy with abrupt-onset hair changes presented in a photo quiz format in Pediatric Dermatology.

The document covers various dermatological conditions and their studies.

In this study, pediatric patients with overt polyautoimmunity frequently had systemic lupus erythematosus as an index disease, with clustering patterns revealing familial influence on autoimmune disease aggregation.

This study suggests that congenital alopecia areata should be considered for newborns with alopecia, supporting the use of topical corticosteroids as a reasonable initial treatment option based on observed regrowth.

This article reviews the structural similarities and common disorders of hair and nails, highlighting their joint involvement in congenital and acquired conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the various forms of congenital alopecia in domestic animals and highlights the need for improved classification due to limited understanding and rarity; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses various factors influencing hair growth, including alopecia and hirsutism, and highlights recent advancements in treatment approaches without reporting new clinical results.

This review discusses neutrophil-associated and infiltrative scarring alopecias, as well as promising new treatments, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses various types of primary cicatricial alopecias and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective management.

This study observed that telogen effluvium was the most common form of acquired alopecia among females in a semiurban Indian population, with stress and chemical exposure as major exacerbating factors.

This study observed that Korean medicine treatment, particularly with a cooling effect, significantly improved hair count and reduced symptoms in alopecia patients with parietal region fever.

This article reviews the classification history of androgenic alopecia and highlights the need for further research to find effective hair growth medications.

This case report highlights two cases of alopecia areata in patients with celiac disease, noting the rare occurrence of one patient also having acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa, which may be the first documented instance of this combination in the literature.
