This article reviews the use of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing various types of nonscarring alopecia but presents no new clinical findings.

The document concludes that various disorders can cause hair loss in dogs, each requiring different treatments, and some may heal on their own.

The document concludes that while some hair and scalp disorders can be treated, hair loss from destroyed follicles is permanent, and damaged hair can only regrow naturally.

This study introduced and evaluated a new dermoscopic feature, pigmented rings with central clearing, for improving the diagnosis of melasma and differentiating it from similar conditions.

This study examined the molecular communication in psoriasis cells, highlighting unique immune cell interactions and identifying new features of the hair follicle cell-psoriasis axis. It suggests the potential for targeted therapies at the single-cell level to improve psoriasis treatment.

This study analyzed the structure and dynamics of ketoconazole, revealing how its molecular characteristics, such as spin-lattice relaxation time and chemical shift anisotropy, are influenced by π-π stacking interactions and different carbon site environments.

This chapter details the causes and diagnostic process of pediatric alopecia, including trichoscopic findings, but reports no new clinical results.

Eating a balanced diet with specific nutrients can help manage menopause symptoms and prevent related health issues.

This study suggests that specific structural features of minoxidil analogs, such as hydrophobic and hydrogen bond field contributions, are key to enhancing lysyl hydroxylase inhibitory activity, which could inform future hair growth treatments.

In this case series, five pediatric patients with tinea capitis showed varied clinical presentations, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and prompt systemic antifungal therapy to prevent permanent outcomes such as alopecia and scarring.

This study found that astaxanthin effectively protected human dermal papillae cells from oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide, reducing the percentage of cells expressing a stress marker significantly, suggesting potential benefits for hair loss treatment related to reactive oxygen species.

In this case study, treatment with terbinafine effectively resolved symptoms of tinea capitis in an eight-year-old male, highlighting trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic tool for this common fungal scalp infection and proposing its integration with clinical data for quicker diagnosis in settings lacking mycological facilities.

In this case report, a 7-month-old local dog named Oreo was diagnosed with demodicosis and helminthiasis and showed improvement in skin condition after 14 days of treatment with ivermectin, antihistamines, vitamin B complex, fish oil, and sulfur soap.

In this report, a 51-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with recurrent joint pain and irregular patches of hair loss, raising differential diagnoses of androgenetic alopecia, lupus-related alopecia, or seborrheic dermatitis.

This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.

This review discusses medication-induced gray hair repigmentation, highlighting that certain anti-inflammatory drugs and melanogenesis stimulators can cause diffuse repigmentation, though evidence remains low-quality and these medications are not currently indicated for this purpose.

This study constructed a model to predict finasteride's inhibitory activity on 5α-reductase type 2 and calculated that a 1 μM plasma concentration, after 50 mg administration, matches prostate inhibition levels.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties of progestins used in contraception and hormone replacement therapy, focusing on drospirenone's unique effects, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that procyanidin oligomers, particularly dimers and trimers, significantly promoted hair growth in mice and hair epithelial cell cultures, suggesting potential use as hair growth agents.

This review discusses the infection dermatophytosis in cats and reports no new results; it emphasizes the difficulty of eradicating the disease in shelters and catteries.

This review examines factors influencing dermatophyte infection in companion animals, focusing on prevalence, clinical signs, pathogenesis, immune response, and the impact of cortisol and cytokines, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identifies sexual activity as a significant potential transmission route for Trichophyton interdigitale, causing tinea genitalis among travelers to South East Asia.

This study reported an increase in tinea capitis in Stockholm children, mainly caused by Trichophyton violaceum and associated with immigration from Africa and family spread.

HIV can cause various nail and hair disorders, important for early diagnosis and treatment.

This study highlights the challenges in treating Microsporum canis infections due to variable antifungal drug efficacy and potential resistance, emphasizing the need for standardized methods to assess drug susceptibility.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis and highlights the need for laboratory confirmation and systemic treatment due to the limited effectiveness of topical antifungals; no new clinical results are presented.

This review discusses systemic antifungal treatments for tinea capitis in children, noting that newer agents like terbinafine and itraconazole require shorter courses than the traditional griseofulvin, but may be more costly.

This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

Different sports can cause specific skin conditions that need proper diagnosis and treatment.

This study found that trichoscopy can rapidly and noninvasively diagnose tinea capitis and alopecia areata in pediatric patients by identifying specific hair patterns associated with each condition.
