This study found that 90% of African pygmy hedgehogs at Golden Dhonje Farm in Bogor District were affected by potential zoonotic fungi, including Scopulariopsis sp. and Penicillium sp.

This case report highlights the importance of maintaining clinical suspicion for tinea incognito in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia who do not respond to typical corticosteroid treatments, as misdiagnosis can complicate treatment.

This study documented the first confirmed infections of Trichophyton bullosum in donkeys in Africa, indicating equines as primary hosts and highlighting the potential underestimation of this pathogen's prevalence.

This study tested the effects of protective pre-treatments on African hair and found that these treatments, combined with moderate grooming, may help maintain cuticle integrity.

This review discusses the pathology and treatment of hair and scalp conditions in African Americans, including "hot comb" alopecia and other scarring disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This paper presents a culturally informed protocol designed to improve the collection of hair samples from African Americans for cortisol measurement, illustrating its application with community-based study data.

This review discusses the side effects and diseases related to hairstyles and hair treatments among black women, highlighting the need for thorough examination by dermatologists, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights how social, environmental, and biological factors combine to increase COVID-19 risks in the African American community, emphasizing the need to understand these complex disparities; it reports no new results.

This study found that excessive heat caused the most significant structural changes in hair from Caucasian and Afro samples, especially when combined with other treatments like bleaching and straightening.

This study found that early-onset baldness in African-American men is associated with an increased risk of developing prostate cancer and more aggressive tumors, with potential interactions involving age and smoking.

This case series observed a potential familial link in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), suggesting a genetic predisposition that may be worsened by hair grooming practices.

This study reported that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution can occur in patients of color, with clinical and histopathological features allowing for an accurate differential diagnosis.

This study found that high-resolution tusk isotope profiles from an African elephant can serve as a proxy for the seasonality of diet and precipitation, helping to reconstruct vegetation and climate in modern and fossil ecosystems.

This study developed an improved reference genome for the African spiny mouse using long Nanopore sequencing reads, potentially aiding future research into the species' remarkable tissue regeneration capabilities.

This report describes six cases of hair loss in African American women after switching to tenofovir alafenamide, suggesting it as a possible adverse effect in this population.

This study presents an improved reference genome for the African spiny mouse, which may aid in understanding its tissue regeneration at the molecular level.

This study by Rucker Wright et al. found that hair care practices, particularly traction on relaxed hair, are associated with an increased risk of traction alopecia in African American girls.

In this study, researchers examined trichoscopic features in a cohort of Black patients with alopecia areata, identifying both common and novel characteristics, but found no statistical link between these features and the severity of alopecia.

Using hair oil/grease may be linked to dandruff in African American girls.

This review explores existing research on the therapeutic benefits of ginseng and ginsenosides for various dermatological conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this narrative review, the authors found that stigma related to oculocutaneous albinism in Africa is primarily driven by socio-cultural beliefs and structural inequities, affecting individuals' health, education, and psychosocial well-being, with interventions needed to dispel myths and provide specialized healthcare and support.

This study found that genetic predictions of male pattern baldness from European populations do not generalize well to African populations, highlighting significant differences in genetic architecture between them.

This literature review highlights challenges in managing alopecia areata in the Middle East and Africa, noting significant regional gaps in data, treatment guidelines, and public awareness that impede patient care and emphasize the need for improved support and resources.

In this review, researchers explain various hair loss treatments in South Africa, detailing how they work, who can use them, possible side effects, and guidelines for safe application, helping readers make informed decisions about hair care.

This study reviews common hair loss treatments used in South Africa, including minoxidil, topical finasteride, and scalp rollers, detailing their mechanisms, suitable users, side effects, and application needs to help readers make informed choices and create a hair care routine.

In this study, researchers observed that loneliness was positively linked to higher hair cortisol levels among African American men but not women, suggesting a potential sex-specific association between loneliness and stress-related physiological pathways.

This study evaluated the therapeutic response of an Afro-descendant patient with non-scarring alopecia after prolonged use of alkaline straighteners and mechanical traction, highlighting the susceptibility of Afro hair to chemical and mechanical damage due to its structure.
