This report describes the first documented occurrence of Vohwinkel's disease combined with congenital alopecia universalis in siblings from the same family, both unresponsive to prior treatments.

This study found that using hair follicle units to treat hard-to-heal wounds led to complete or partial closure in most patients, with reduced operation time, minimal morbidity, and low complication rates and costs.

This study found that artificial copolyamide fiber implantation was generally safe and aesthetically pleasing for patients with androgenetic alopecia who failed conventional therapies, though mild complications like folliculitis were noted in some cases.

Using a vibrating device during injections can help reduce pain.

In this study, the authors describe a new technique using the Ventralex hernia patch for simultaneous umbilical hernia repair during abdominoplasty, observing its application in 11 female patients.

This study reported that stem cells derived from semi-solid bone marrow improved the healing of diabetic incision wounds in rats by increasing epidermal thickness and blood vessel growth, and reducing hair follicle destruction, cellular penetration, diffuse fibrosis, and necrosis compared to control groups.

This study analyzed nail excision practices in the United States from 2012 to 2017, revealing that podiatrists performed 99% of these procedures, vastly outnumbering dermatologists, and showed a broad geographic distribution across the country.

Using cheek skin and cartilage grafts for nose reconstruction after skin cancer surgery can maintain shape and function but may require multiple surgeries and hair removal in men.

In this study, epidermal stem cells were found to enhance blood vessel formation and support successful one-step transplantation of tissue-engineered skin in a rat model.

In this case report, a 46-year-old man developed scalp necrosis with infection following FUE hair transplantation, possibly due to factors like smoking, long surgery duration, dense grafting, and secondary infection. Early recognition and treatment prevented further tissue loss, but the patient had residual scarring.

In this study, AFM-based indentation was used to assess mechanical properties of murine skin wounds at two healing stages, revealing that early wounds exhibit stiffer hyperproliferative epithelium compared to granulation tissue, and highlighting significant influences of surface roughness on tissue stiffness measurements.

This abstract discusses the challenges and considerations of hair restoration surgery related to the skin's rich neuro-vascular supply and does not report new clinical results.

Robotic technology can help prepare the area for hair transplant surgery.

This review highlights recent advancements in FUE hair transplantation techniques and technologies, noting significant improvements in reducing follicle damage and increasing procedure speed, while emphasizing the need for surgeons to choose suitable devices for each patient's specific needs.

This study reports that using a combined approach of free osteoseptocutaneous fibula flap and temporal artery-based scalp flap provided satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes in reconstructing gunshot-inflicted composite mandibular defects in males.

Hamilton scale imprecise, hair shaft diameter decreases, stem cell transplant regrows hair, ECP ineffective for alopecia areata universalis.

This article discusses approaches to minimize mechanical damage during hair restoration surgery to improve micrograft viability and outcomes, but it reports no new results.

This study found that the "flying-wings" expanded scalp flap technique effectively restored hemiscalp defects in children following burns, achieving pleasing aesthetic results and proper hair growth direction with minimal complications.

This study reported that apremilast treatment did not lead to sustained improvement in SALT scores for most patients with extensive and treatment-resistant alopecia areata.

In this study using rat models, researchers found that subcutaneously implanted non-de-epithelialized flaps maintained persistent epidermal components, leading to potential complications, whereas de-epithelialized flaps showed gradual regression of remaining skin elements, lowering complication risks over time.

In this case study, a rare scalp arteriovenous fistula developed after hair transplantation in a 29-year-old male was successfully treated using endovascular embolization with platinum coils, resulting in symptom resolution and complete fistula disappearance without complications.

In this study, researchers detailed how hair follicles regenerate after microsurgical amputation, observing a wound reaction involving dynamic dermal-epidermal interactions and changes in extracellular matrix components.

This article discusses the Sacred Heart version of the bilobed flap for scalp reconstruction to close small defects without skin grafts and reports no new clinical results.

This article mentions an interesting case of a donor site from a previous issue, but reports no new research findings.

This case report describes the successful topical treatment of a horse with a Pythium insidiosum infection using amphotericin B and DMSO, leading to significant wound healing and hair regrowth.

In this study, the use of Biofibre hair implants showed significant improvements in scalp coverage and Hamilton scale grading for 97.94% of male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia after two years, with minimal and manageable side effects reported.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

This review discusses the diagnosis, management, and treatment options for peripheral arterial disease and does not report new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for early diagnosis and comprehensive management.

This study reported that exosomes derived from human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSC-exo) accelerated hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by enhancing signals between hair follicle cells and improving cellular environments, particularly protecting against dihydrotestosterone-induced damage via Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

This research highlights that engineered mice lacking the vitamin D receptor show multiple health issues similar to human vitamin D deficiency, underscoring the widespread impacts of the vitamin D endocrine system.
