In this study, a 13-year-old boy developed temporary pressure alopecia from wearing orthodontic headgear, which resolved after discontinuation, highlighting a rare side effect that can affect psychosocial wellbeing.

This case report describes postoperative alopecia in a female patient following orthognathic surgery and underscores the importance of understanding the condition's pathophysiology for prevention and identification.

A woman's hair grew back within 3 months after temporary hair loss from improper head positioning during shoulder surgery.

In this retrospective study, researchers found that the diagnostic yield for alopecia skin biopsies was lower with longer durations of disease onset and suggested improving diagnostic accuracy through standardized request forms and digital pathology integration.

Androgenic alopecia causes hair follicle degradation and skin restructuring, but some hair elements remain.

This article proposes a novel hypothesis that androgenetic alopecia may be mainly caused by skull bone expansion affecting blood supply to hair follicles rather than differences in individual follicle programming, and calls for more genetic research into skull development.

This article presents a new method using dermoscopy to evaluate the severity and treatment effectiveness of androgenetic alopecia in men by capturing images of specific scalp regions.

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.

This study found that patients with severe male pattern hair loss had lower hair density in the occipital region compared to those with mild or moderate cases.

This study reported that 45.5% of patients with beard alopecia areata progressed to scalp alopecia areata within at least 12 months, with most cases occurring during the first year.

This article reviews the social and functional impact of eyebrow loss and highlights the limited treatment options compared to scalp alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

Male hair loss is mainly due to thinner hair, not less hair.

Both bone donor sites had low long-term issues and high patient satisfaction.

Dermoscopy shows that varying hair shaft thickness and single hair follicles are main signs of male pattern baldness, especially in the fronto-temporal region.

New mutations in the hairless gene may cause hair loss and affect bone development.

In this study, trichoscopic examination found distinct hair characteristics for diagnosing eyebrow loss: alopecia areata is marked by features like exclamation mark hairs, while frontal fibrosing alopecia shows dystrophic hairs and distinctive regrowth patterns.

In this case study, a 20-year-old man experienced progressive hair loss starting as a localized patch on the vertex of his scalp, eventually spreading in a curvilinear pattern to the sides and back.

This paper reports that noggin inhibits BMP-2 and BMP-4 functions by binding and blocking their interaction with the BMP receptor, impacting multiple developmental processes without presenting new research results.

Most older adults experience pattern hair loss due to shrinking hair follicles, with men and women showing different balding patterns.

In this case report, the authors identified giant cell arteritis as the underlying cause of bitemporal hair loss and scalp tenderness in a 70-year-old woman, initially misdiagnosed as age-related symptoms.

This study found significant differences in bcl-2 expression between areas of the scalp affected and unaffected by androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a uniform follicle population or synchronized follicular cycling in affected areas.

In this study, a deproteinized bone mineral showed potential to increase DHT production, suggesting an anabolic effect on human periosteal fibroblasts with possible implications for wound healing.

This article reviews hair loss in elderly women, discussing common forms, diagnostic challenges, and the limited effectiveness of current treatments, but presents no new clinical findings.

This case report describes a one-year-old boy with combined occipito-linear and triangular fronto-temporo-parietal alopecia and discusses the possibility of these lesions being a variant of neonatal occipital alopecia.

In this animal study, researchers observed that tooth loss in young mice led to premature gray hair growth in the interbrow area, likely due to reduced mastication affecting nerve input.

This study found that over half of the patients experienced varying degrees of hair loss after acromegaly surgery, with female patients and those with severe postoperative growth hormone deficiency more commonly affected.

This case report describes a unique instance of congenital triangular alopecia affecting the chin in a 12-year-old boy, noting the condition is typically benign with limited treatment options being necessary.

This article discusses the challenges in accurately estimating an individual's age in forensic and anthropological contexts and reports no definitive method; the authors highlight the need for acceptable error margins.
