This case series highlighted three pediatric patients with congenital nail anomalies, revealing underlying developmental or genetic issues such as symbrachydactyly and potential Adams–Oliver syndrome, underscoring the critical role of dermatologists in early detection and diagnosis of these conditions.

This article discusses the DOAJ, a comprehensive index of international open access journals, and emphasizes its role in providing free quality content online without presenting new research findings.

This abstract contains no research findings; it describes website service information and options for accessing content from JAMA Dermatology.

This study found that alopecia areata often affects beard hair as frequently as scalp hair, leading the authors to propose a new scoring system and a subtype called alopecia subuniversalis for extensive hair involvement.

This study found that vertex accentuation is the second most common pattern of female pattern hair loss in Asian women, following the diffuse type.

In this study, evidence suggested that hair loss occurs more frequently in multi-hair follicular units on the scalp, particularly in men.

Non-scarring hair loss can be diagnosed with two 4mm punch biopsies, one cut vertically and the other transversely.

This study characterized the incidence of hair loss patterns among men of different races, highlighting a lack of direct racial comparisons in previous research.

This study reports a case of a 62-year-old woman who experienced headache and hair loss after starting strontium ranelate for osteoporosis, with hair regrowth beginning two months after discontinuation of the drug.

This Italian study observed that one third of patients with 25 to 50% scalp hair loss from alopecia areata still experienced active patchy disease at long-term follow-up, and another third progressed to more severe forms like alopecia totalis or universalis, with limited recovery.

Changes in hair follicle structure may help diagnose and monitor alopecia.

This case study reports complete beard hair regrowth in a man with beard alopecia areata after six months of treatment with 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide cream.

This meta-analysis found that men with vertex balding at age 40 or older may have a modestly increased risk of prostate cancer, with a pooled relative risk of 1.08, but no significant association was observed with frontal balding.

This article reviews current diagnostic and treatment approaches for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new results, focusing on its progression and medical management options.

In this study, the authors reported that while conventional treatment improved rickets in a boy with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II, it also resulted in unexpected improvement in his alopecia.

This report discusses the challenges of interpreting bone mineral density in transgender individuals undergoing hormone therapy and highlights the lack of guidelines for assessing fracture risk or BMD results in this population.

This study reports two distinct patterns of hair changes in postmenopausal women, linking diffuse generalized scalp hair loss to older age and frontal hair loss to higher facial hair scores and younger age.

This study found that white females with female pattern hair loss had higher hair density in the occipital scalp area, while Asian females had thicker hair diameters in both frontal and occipital areas.

This study found that eyebrow involvement in frontal fibrosing alopecia was more common among postmenopausal females with comorbidities, without a significant link to age or disease duration.

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 identifies a mutation in the hairless gene that may impact thyroid receptor interaction, contributing to alopecia universalis congenita in an Arab Israeli patient.

This report describes two patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who developed acute hair loss on their limbs, revealing that the limb alopecia had similar histological features to scalp alopecia.

This study reports on a severe case of alopecia areata in a healthy eight-year-old boy, highlighting persistent hair loss over four years of treatment before full regrowth, and noting that alopecia areata might indicate the early onset of autoimmune disease symptoms.

In this exploratory study, researchers found slightly increased levels of inflammatory markers in scalp skin affected by androgenetic alopecia, suggesting differential gene expression involved in hair cycle and keratin production.

This study reviewed 18 postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting frontotemporal hairline recession and eyebrow loss, often treated with steroids, triamcinolone, and other medications.

This study found that 76.19% of patients with acquired hypoparathyroidism had mucocutaneous manifestations, with common features including loss of hair and xerotic skin.
