This article introduces the term "anisotrichosis" to describe the significant variation in hair shaft diameters observed in pattern alopecia, drawing a parallel to anisocytosis seen in blood smears, but reports no new research findings.

Among patients with biopsy-proven FAPD in specialized hair clinics, this study found the condition is common in females around 52.5 years old, with treatment generally stabilizing or slightly improving hair loss, despite challenges in differentiating FAPD from androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that anisotrichia, yellow dots, and increased vellus hairs are key trichoscopic markers of early androgenetic alopecia, while late stages are characterized by anisotrichia, yellow dots, and increased single follicular units.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This study found that trichoscopy is a useful tool in differentiating between alopecia areta and trichotillomania on the eyebrows based on distinct hair and follicle features.

This study observed that white dots, focal atrichia, and honeycomb pigmentation on the scalp were significantly associated with the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men under forty.

Results are not reported in this abstract, which focuses on promoting the offerings of a medical publisher in Delhi, India, including open access and print journals across various medical disciplines.

In this observational study, researchers found that acute telogen effluvium, a form of temporary hair loss, occurred in 80 patients following COVID-19 infection, with 70 showing a significant decrease in hair density and trichoscopic signs like peripilar sign and yellow dots.

In this study, researchers observed that trichoscopy could reliably identify features such as anisotrichosis and signs associated with inflammation and fibrosis in female pattern hair loss, which may aid in assessing disease severity and guiding treatment decisions.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This study in Chennai, India, found that while some trichoscopic patterns are specific, many overlap across different scalp dermatoses, highlighting the importance of dermatologists staying informed about the latest findings.

This review discusses the various trichoscopic features of androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, noting white dots in advanced cases as indicators of poor prognosis, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying hair loss patterns in women and can help avoid scalp biopsies in unclear cases.

This study developed new graded visual scales integrating macroscopic and trichoscopic images for assessing the severity of androgenetic alopecia in men and women, potentially aiding in more objective disease evaluation.

This study found that trichoscopy using anisotrichosis criteria was 75% sensitive and 61.54% specific in diagnosing early female pattern hair loss in women without visible hair thinning.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to enhance the early assessment of minoxidil therapy in males with pattern hair loss, leading to improved satisfaction and treatment compliance by revealing positive changes visible within one month.

This study aims to describe the trichoscopic pattern of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and its changes during different phases of chemotherapy.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose and treat a child's fungal scalp infection by spotting specific hair shapes.

This study reported that trichoscopy is a more effective diagnostic tool than the trichogram for early diagnosis of FAGA, regardless of hair shaft diversity cut-off levels.

This study suggests that the presence of more than six vellus hairs in the frontal scalp at 20-fold magnification can be an additional criterion for diagnosing early female pattern hair loss.

COVID-19 and related stress may increase hair loss known as Telogen effluvium.

This report suggests that correcting nutritional deficiencies may improve hair quality in patients with Monilethrix and similar hair shaft disorders, though it is not a cure.

This review discusses the pathogenesis and clinical features of androgenetic alopecia, highlighting potential links to fibrosing alopecia and suggesting the need for combined therapeutic approaches; it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 35-year-old woman with diffuse partial woolly hair occurring alongside epidermolysis bullosa with mottled pigmentation.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

The researchers observed that in cases of alopecia areata with atypical features, histopathological confirmation may be necessary, as trichoscopic clues like loss of follicle ostia and vellus hairs were common, while typical features such as exclamation mark hairs were not always present.

This review reports no new clinical results but discusses fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution as a distinct scarring alopecia with characteristics of both androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris.

In this study, the authors reported that among patients with androgenetic alopecia, treatment with minoxidil 5% lotion combined with PRP and microneedling resulted in better hair growth and higher satisfaction compared to other treatment groups.

This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

This study reported that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution can occur in patients of color, with clinical and histopathological features allowing for an accurate differential diagnosis.
