This study reported that dilated follicular infundibula are a highly useful histopathologic criterion for diagnosing alopecia areata, particularly during its recovery stage.

In this randomized study, patients with early favorable Hodgkin lymphoma showed similar complete remission and survival rates whether receiving 2 or 4 cycles of ABVD and 20 Gy or 30 Gy IFRT, though reduced toxicity was associated with fewer cycles and lower radiation doses.

This case report describes a 5-year-old boy with a solitary patch of hair loss, potentially linked to a fungal infection after antibiotic treatment showed minimal effectiveness.

This study describes presumed albendazole toxicosis in alpacas, suggesting that repeated doses as low as 19 mg/kg can lead to severe neutropenia, enteropathy, and potentially death in this species.

This study explores the complexities of interpreting single drug exposure in hair, emphasizing factors like drug distribution variability and suggests methods to validate single exposure findings in forensic cases.

This study found that at Week 52, baricitinib resulted in significant hair regrowth for many patients with severe alopecia areata, with 41.6% on the higher dose achieving substantial improvement in scalp hair loss, though some may need longer treatment for optimal benefit.

This study observed that in human scalp hair follicles, BTNL2 expression is lower in stressed conditions, which correlates with increased cytotoxic activity by gamma/delta and CD8+ T cells, suggesting a possible role for BTNL2 in controlling immune responses relevant to alopecia areata.

In this study, all five serotypes of Ureaplasma were found to be pathogenic in a mouse model of lower genital tract infection, with serotype 4 showing the greatest pathogenicity.

This study found that inducing hair follicles into the anagen-onset stage in mice enhances the immune response to a topically applied DNA vaccine against anthrax.

This case study reports a 38-year-old epileptic man with tufted hair folliculitis that persisted despite various antibiotic treatments, showing transient improvement followed by recurrence.

This study found that using particle-based antigen delivery in combination with cyanoacrylate skin surface stripping is an effective needle-free method for targeting HIV-1 p24 protein to skin cells, enhancing transcutaneous vaccination potential.

This letter by Dr. Saul P. Davis details concerns about the use of bacteriostatic saline with benzyl alcohol in hair transplantation, but reports no new research findings.

This study found HLA and beta 2-microglobulin antigens in various skin structures, with specific localization patterns in keratinocytes and hair follicle components, but not in eccrine or apocrine glands.

This study found that mouse skin CD4(+) memory T cells are in equilibrium with the circulation under steady state but increase in specific clusters in response to infection or inflammation.

This case report discusses alopecia syphilitica in a young Belgian man, notes that hair loss was his only symptom, and highlights the improvement following penicillin treatment.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

In this study, 90 pediatric patients with scalp microsporia were treated with a combination of griseofulvin, Antral, sertaconazole nitrate cream, and Bion 3 Kid, resulting in complete recovery, reduced treatment duration, and prevention of disease recurrence and colds, with high drug tolerability.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

This study demonstrated that a microarray patch can deliver antibodies in a controlled and prolonged manner, maintaining their functionality after manufacturing and heat exposure, with successful pharmacokinetic proof-of-concept in rats.

This study found that transgenic cashmere goats overexpressing thymosin beta-4 have a higher secondary to primary hair follicle ratio, suggesting potential for increased cashmere yield.

This study found that melatonin combined with bromocryptine treatment in Spanish goats increased secondary hair follicle numbers and extended the cashmere growth phase during spring.

This study found that Demodex mites may transport Microsporum canis spores on human skin, suggesting a potential role in microbial movement despite typically being considered harmless.

This study found that nearly all nurses caring for chemotherapy patients showed detectable levels of cyclophosphamide in their urine, indicating significant occupational exposure to this antineoplastic drug.

This case report highlights the growing prevalence and treatability of neurosyphilis, stressing the need to consider it in neurological symptoms such as encephalopathy, facial nerve palsy, and gelastic seizures associated with the frontal lobe.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and immune response to Rhodococcus equi infection in foals but reports no new clinical results.

This analysis reports that hepatitis B surface protein antigen exposure is associated with an increased risk of alopecia areata.

This study reports that oral rifampicin effectively treated the pustular lesions of tufted hair folliculitis in a 47-year-old woman, with no relapses after one year.

In this study, researchers found that among adults with severe alopecia, continued treatment with baricitinib for 104 weeks maintained hair regrowth effectively in those who responded at 52 weeks, with improved outcomes noted in some initially non-responders receiving 4 mg.

The researchers reported a case of a neotropical porcupine co-infected with Brazilian porcupine poxvirus and Toxoplasma gondii, suggesting the need for further investigation into the impact of this interaction.
