This article provides a comprehensive overview of tattoo-related issues for clinicians, covering various aspects such as tattoo types, medical relevance, removal methods, complications, and South African legislation, but reports no new research findings.

In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

This study found a high prevalence of central hair loss among African American women and associated it with diabetes mellitus type 2, bacterial scalp infections, and hairstyles causing traction.

This study found that African-American and Hispanic patients with systemic lupus erythematosus reported higher levels of unmet psychological needs and may be more prone to depression and anxiety due to SLE-related challenges.

This report describes an African-American woman with pseudofolliculitis barbae, hirsutism, and associated postinflammatory hyperpigmentation who was effectively treated with a diode laser.

This article reviews the thermoregulation mechanisms in African and Asian elephants and highlights challenges from climate change, with no new empirical results presented.

This study of African-American women found that those perceiving greater hair breakage showed lower break stress and higher premature failure rates, linked to grooming practices and hair curvature.

This study found that African and Caucasian hair contain the most lipids, and depletion of these lipids leads to less water retention and increased water desorption, with Caucasian hair showing improved breaking tenacity after lipid extraction.

This review discusses the potential role of a PADI3 gene variant in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia among African-American women but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a rare case of tumoral calcinosis presenting as a slow-growing mass on the scalp in an Afro-Caribbean man, with histopathology revealing calcium deposits and associated tissue changes.

This case report describes a 59-year-old Afro-American woman diagnosed with lipedematous alopecia, a rare scalp condition of unknown cause.

This case report details a diagnosis of adult-onset isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in a 23-year-old African American female, highlighting its genetic basis and treatment approach.

CCCA in women of African ancestry may be caused by PADI3 gene mutations and intense hair grooming.

This case report describes a 36-year-old African American woman with discoid lupus resulting in skin lesions, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing cutaneous and systemic lupus symptoms.

This article presents a case of a 45-year-old African American man with firm, hyperpigmented papules and pustules on his cheeks and neck, persisting despite various shaving methods.

This case report describes a 4-year-old African American boy with tinea capitis characterized by itchy, scaly patches and hair loss, diagnosed through microscopic examination after initial treatments were only partially effective.

This study observed that hair breakage may indicate early central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia in African American women, suggesting that it should be considered in their differential diagnosis.

This study observed that in Namibian/Southern African men, hormone levels, particularly estradiol, influence the growth of body hair, with different effects noted in various ethnic groups.

In this case series, four African American women with treatment-resistant central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia showed scalp itch relief and significant hair regrowth after using a new botanical formula for 8 weeks to 1 year, with no adverse effects reported.

This study found that laboratory and African spiny mice have distinct spatiotemporal patterns in wound-induced hair neogenesis, with the Twist1 pathway playing a central role in epidermal-dermal interactions for hair primordia formation.

This case report describes a 30-year-old bisexual African man with neurological symptoms, generalized wasting, and ophthalmological findings, but reports no new clinical research results.

This study presents a comprehensive forensic analysis that suggests the original inhabitants of the Americas, today classified as Black Americans, have been systematically reclassified to obscure their genetic heritage and sovereign identity, with evidence showing greater genetic affinity to Paleoamerican specimens than African ancestors.

This study examined hair classification based on geo-racial origin, observing that Caucasian and Mediterranean hair differs morphologically from African or Asian hair, with differences in density, thickness, and fiber shape contributing to varied hair characteristics such as color and curliness.

This study observed a 19.7% prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome among Afro-Caribbean women in Tobago, a rate higher than that reported in North American studies.

This study examined dermoscopic features in African-American women with different types of alopecia and found that a perifollicular pink blush, potentially indicating inflammation, was common, particularly resolved with anti-inflammatory treatment, suggesting dermoscopy could aid in management.

Elderly patients with CCCA were all African American with low vitamin D, but no iron or zinc deficiencies, and no hormonal imbalances compared to younger patients.

This case report suggests that in African-American patients, the histology of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia may resemble lichen planopilaris, indicating a potential diagnostic challenge.

This report describes a 55-year-old African woman with a 4-year history of frontotemporal alopecia and total eyebrow loss, who experienced scalp itching and had unsuccessfully undergone hair transplantation.

Folliculitis decalvans mainly affects middle-aged African American men and is treated with antibiotics.
