This review discusses the limitations of existing clinician-reported outcome measures for alopecia areata and emphasizes the need for a composite scoring system to better assess disease severity.

This study reported that newly established dermoscopic diagnostic and grading criteria for androgenetic alopecia are highly accurate, with sensitivity and specificity at 98.3% and 96.7%, respectively.

This study found that US and EU experts provided similar ratings of hair loss changes from global photographs in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia, supporting the use of standardized photographic evaluations.

This study found that the Antera 3D® system provided an objective and sensitive method for assessing pediatric pathological scars, capturing significant changes in pigmentation, vascularity, and volume, compared to the traditional Vancouver Scar Scale and dermoscopy, which showed varied sensitivities across different scar parameters.

This pilot study found that examining changes in scalp scales after scraping may effectively distinguish seborrheic dermatitis associated with androgenetic alopecia from fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution.

This study presents the Italian adaptation of the ECR-M16 to assess attachment dimensions in cancer outpatients and notes that its factor structure is partly similar to the original.

This study concludes that the Greek version of the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire is a reliable and valid tool for assessing body dysmorphic disorder-related concerns in both research and clinical settings.

The abstract contains only graphic design specifications and reports no new research findings.

This study developed the Alopecia Areata Children's Quality of Life Index (AAcQLI) to assess quality of life in children with alopecia areata, demonstrating good reliability and validity in initial tests.

This study reported that administering salicylates to wounds in adult mice promoted wound healing patterns similar to embryonic wounds, enabling complete wound regeneration and reduced scarring by activating AMPK and subsequent signaling pathways.

The researchers reported that the facial Psoriasis Log-based Area and Severity Index (fPLASI) more reliably and sensitively captured clinical improvement in facial psoriasis than the existing facial Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (fPASI).

In this study, the Swedish Hairdex-S was well-received by alopecia areata patients and demonstrated strong psychometric properties and consistency with the original version, supporting its use for patient quality of life evaluation and research.

This study developed the SAALIQ, a culturally adapted tool specifically for measuring quality of life in Spanish-speaking patients with alopecia areata, highlighting its strong psychometric performance and the benefit of capturing overlooked domains compared to generic measures.

This study developed a quantitative measure for scoring hair surface damage from SEM images and found it accurately classified hair damage caused by explosive blasts, similar to an existing classification system.

This study demonstrated that the Epidermal Biopotential Sensing System (EBSS) can measure digital biomarkers of pain in mice, suggesting potential applications in assessing pain and screening analgesics in populations with communication difficulties.

This study demonstrated that B-mode ultrasound and shear-wave elastography could differentiate individuals at risk of developing androgenetic alopecia from healthy individuals by assessing cranial subcutaneous tissue thickness and epidermis-dermis stiffness.

This study found that patient-reported alopecia areata severity is associated with scalp and facial hair loss as well as emotional and financial burdens, suggesting that factors beyond just scalp hair loss should be considered.

Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.

This study examines how the Severity of Alopecia Tool score was used to assess Alopecia Areata in patients while excluding systemic conditions that might affect vitamin D levels, but reports no new clinical results.

This study established consensus criteria for classifying alopecia areata severity, aiding clinicians in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

This table reports gene set enrichment analysis scores for hair follicle compartments across diseases and sampling methods, providing comparisons but no new experimental findings.

This study translated and culturally adapted the Skindex-16 questionnaire into Arabic, finding it to be a reliable and valid measure of quality-of-life impacts from skin diseases in Saudi patients.

This report describes ten cases of pityriasis amiantacea to raise awareness of this uncommon scalp condition, highlighting its negative test findings and its uncertain association with other skin diseases.

This study evaluated the Spanish version of the Hair Specific Skindex-29 questionnaire and found it sensitive to changes in health-related quality of life among women with female-pattern hair loss.

In this study, the researchers explored how the loss of structural integrity in hair follicles due to reduced α-SMA expression in the vertex area may contribute to androgenetic alopecia.

This study reported that while both DLQI and HADS showed moderate correlations, only DLQI correlated with clinician-assessed disease severity in patients with alopecia.

This study found that the SASJ procedure is a safe and effective bariatric approach, resulting in significant weight loss, improvement in obesity-related comorbidities, and a low risk of postsurgical complications over one year.
