In this case report from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta, alopecia areata was identified as the most common type of baldness in the facility's skin and genital polyclinics from 2009 to 2011, representing 39.7% of cases.

This study suggests that apoE4 may contribute to cognitive decline by reducing androgen receptor levels in the brain, but androgen treatment improved memory deficits in female mice expressing human apoE4.

This article discusses the challenges of treating androgenetic alopecia due to limited approved medications, potential side effects, and unmet expectations and reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 12-year-old boy with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis and progressing acro-osteolysis, highlighting the severe complications and the necessity for early intervention.

This report documents a 14-year-old Chinese boy with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, and a de novo A3243G mitochondrial DNA mutation, highlighting the condition's multisystem involvement without ragged red fibers in muscle biopsy.

This study identified significant correlations between self-esteem, psychiatric symptoms, and health-related quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients.

In this study, young adult male albino rats treated with finasteride showed a 10% reduction in thickness of the CA1 layer of the hippocampus, suggesting that this atrophy may contribute to memory impairments linked to Post-Finasteride Syndrome.

This discussion highlights that alopecia areata incognita is challenging to diagnose and treat, with systemic corticosteroids potentially leading to remission when local treatments fail.

This article examines the use of legal amphetamines by French political figures from the Liberation to the 1960s, highlighting their impact on health and their prevalence among Communist activists, influenced by habits from the Resistance.

Accurate diagnosis is crucial to distinguish alopecia areata incognita from androgenetic alopecia in men for proper treatment.

This study found that women with mixed alopecia experienced significant cognitive impairments, particularly those with adaptation disorders, with symptoms like rapid fatigue and impaired concentration being most prevalent. The cognitive patterns are complex and require further investigation to inform tailored rehabilitation strategies.

A man had an unusual type of hair loss that didn't match known patterns and didn't improve with treatment.

This abstract provides background information on alopecia areata, describing it as an autoimmune condition leading to non-scarring, patchy hair loss but does not report specific study results.
