The researchers developed a technique for processing and staining free hair samples using paraffin embedded blocks, revealing that routine staining does not color the enucleated cuticle, while the cortex and medulla show distinct colorations when stained.

This publication lists the contributors and affiliations for a research piece but reports no study results or findings.

This study developed the SAALIQ, a culturally adapted tool specifically for measuring quality of life in Spanish-speaking patients with alopecia areata, highlighting its strong psychometric performance and the benefit of capturing overlooked domains compared to generic measures.

This study reports two cases where localized prostate cancer with low PSA levels was incidentally detected through CT scans performed for other medical reasons.

This study describes synchronous neonatal telogen effluvium as a physiological phenomenon where newborns exhibit a hair band of rarefaction in the occipital region, not caused by sleeping position.

Hair is culturally and economically valuable, and its weight is now used to measure the effectiveness of hair growth treatments.

This study found that low serum ferritin and vitamin D2 levels are associated with hair loss in females with chronic telogen effluvium and female pattern hair loss, suggesting potential benefits of screening and supplementation.

This study measured the lengths and depths of different portions of occipital scalp hair follicles and suggested cutting below 1 mm for hair regeneration procedures to avoid damaging the bulge zone.

In this study, a modified Ferriman-Galwey score greater than 4 was found to be effective for diagnosing hirsutism in Asian women, highlighting key areas such as the upper lip, thighs, and lower abdomen.

This study observed that serum AMH concentration and LH/FSH ratio showed comparable diagnostic value for PCOS among infertile women, though neither is adequate alone for diagnosis.

This case study identified Trichophyton rubrum as the cause of trichophytia profunda acuta in a patient using nested PCR, suggesting an alternative diagnostic approach when KOH tests and cultures fail.

This study examined the morphological variations of terminal hair from different body regions of a Caucasian male, finding notable differences in diameter and features like "steak-boning" in specific hair types.

This study found that a patient with giant axonal degeneration had unique hair abnormalities such as trichorrhexis nodosa and altered S:N ratios, unlike her relatives but comparable to unrelated controls.

This study reported that higher monocyte lymphocyte ratio, monocyte high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, and platelet lymphocyte ratio were associated with increased risk of developing alopecia areata, suggesting their potential as diagnostic markers.

This study found that lower serum vaspin levels (below 3.74ng/mL) may predict successful ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate in anovulatory women with PCOS, indicating potential resistance when levels are higher.

This study found that the ovarian stromal area to total ovarian area ratio alone is not a strong predictor of biochemical hyperandrogenism in Thai women with PCOS, but combining it with clinical hyperandrogenism improves prediction.

This study found that anti-mullerian hormone levels are significantly elevated in infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome compared to those with regular cycles, suggesting it as a potential marker for diagnosing PCOS-related infertility.

This study found that the dynamic characteristics of both cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity and central respiratory chemoreflex decrease in the high frequency range and are not modified by exercise.

This case report describes a 3-year-old girl with short hair since birth, showing normal hair density with many vellus and intermediate hairs, and no hair shaft abnormalities.

In this study, higher urethral prostate-specific antigen (urPSA) levels in men after radical prostatectomy were associated with higher androgenic alopecia scores and higher postoperative PSA.

This paper describes a protocol for isolating and culturing skin-derived precursors to potentially induce hair growth and regenerate hair follicles, but reports no new experimental findings.

The document describes a method for preparing hair for microscopy by embedding it in plastic, cutting it, and storing it cold before imaging.

This study found that the combination of Stemoxydine® and Resveratrol improved hair density in women with Female Pattern Hair Loss.

This study found that serum Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels are significantly elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome and can serve as a useful biomarker for diagnosis, especially when ultrasonography is unavailable.

This study found that among young adults, willingness to provide hair and fingernail samples for cortisol measurement was similar, with discomfort around sampling as the main barrier; informational videos did not significantly alter participant willingness.

This study reports ten cases of non-marginal traction alopecia in women with very long hair, which was improved with shorter hair cuts and topical minoxidil application.

This study found that in men with androgenetic alopecia, nitric oxide synthase protein expression was significantly higher at androgenetic sites compared to non-androgenetic sites or those of healthy controls, suggesting a possible role in hair follicle regulation.

This study found that patients with higher baseline monocyte counts (\(\geq\) 925/\(\mu\)l) were significantly more likely to see treatment failure with adalimumab for hidradenitis suppurativa.

This study determined that serum AMH levels are higher in women with PCOS compared to controls and may serve as a diagnostic marker for ovarian dysfunction alone or with other tools.

In this study, the MPV/PC ratio was identified as a potential tool for assessing disease activity in alopecia areata, with higher ratios in active and severe cases compared to inactive and mild/moderate ones.
