This study presents a new survey instrument that was cognitively tested for understanding menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess, including hirsutism, alopecia, and acne.

This review discusses the wide range of physiologic skin changes during pregnancy and highlights less frequently recognized changes, based on literature from the past decade, without reporting new clinical results.

This study highlights the public health significance of androgenic-anabolic steroid use disorder, emphasizing health risks, societal effects, and the need for routine AAS analyses in forensic autopsies, especially in athlete deaths.

This study found that while the CLASI is generally useful for assessing disease activity and damage in cutaneous lupus erythematosus, it may not accurately reflect all subtypes, indicating a need for revision.

This study found that using sulfur 35 L-cystine for measuring linear hair growth is accurate, cosmetically acceptable, and safe in both experimental animals and humans.

This study developed a questionnaire based on Andersen’s behavioral model to explore psychological well-being and mental health help-seeking behaviors among alopecia areata patients from underserved communities, aiming to better understand factors influencing their mental healthcare utilization.

This study found that the proposed Bayesian measurement-error-driven hidden Markov regression model effectively calibrated inflated covariate effect sizes in a community-based survey on androgenetic alopecia regardless of misclassification type.

This study reports that severe androgenic alopecia prevalence in young Caucasian men increases with age, varies by region, and that body mass index may be a risk factor.

This study introduced the Lichen Planus Activity and Damage Index (LiPADI), which effectively assesses the severity and progression of lichen planus, aligning well with other clinical indicators.

This study concluded that the Scalp Photographic Index is a reliable and validated tool for objectively classifying and scoring various scalp conditions.

This study found that achieving 80% scalp hair regrowth (SALT score ≤ 20) is considered a meaningful treatment success by expert clinicians-then-patients with ≥ 50% scalp hair loss.
