Intralesional corticosteroids work better than topical ones for hair regrowth in alopecia areata.

Intralesional corticosteroids may be more effective than cryotherapy for hair regrowth in alopecia areata.

This study found that gender-diverse individuals experienced higher depression and anxiety levels alongside lower cortisol concentrations, resembling profiles typical in trauma and pain-related conditions.

Machine learning can help identify stress indicators in mothers and infants.

Discrimination during pregnancy affects newborn stress hormone levels.

This study highlights the use of hair and fingernail cortisol levels as retrospective indicators of chronic stress, particularly in minoritized populations facing social stressors that increase the risk of mental health issues.

This study found that among mother-infant pairs during the COVID-19 pandemic, lower maternal hair cortisol concentrations during pregnancy, combined with higher levels at six weeks postpartum, were associated with poorer infant developmental outcomes at six months.

This study observed that higher anxiety levels in pregnant individuals are negatively correlated with neonatal hair cortisol, suggesting that increased anxiety during pregnancy may affect fetal cortisol accumulation, which is important for fetal development and associated with birth outcomes and cognitive function.

In this study, researchers found that higher levels of general and pregnancy-related anxiety during gestation were negatively correlated with neonatal hair cortisol levels, suggesting that increased maternal anxiety may alter fetal cortisol exposure, which is important for fetal development.

In this study, the researchers found no superiority of combining 308-nm excimer laser with intralesional corticosteroid over corticosteroid alone for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, and reported side effects such as erythema and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in both treatment groups.

Methylprednisolone treatment helps most alopecia areata patients, but young age, extensive hair loss, and low vitamin D can affect results.

This article reviews the use of hair cortisol concentration as a biomarker to assess long-term stress in both animals and humans, but it reports no new experimental results.

Topical corticosteroids are effective for skin conditions but can have side effects.

This case study reports a good response and tolerability for a combination treatment involving high potency topical corticosteroid, minoxidil 2%, LED, and inosine pranobex in a child with alopecia areata.

This study suggests that measuring cortisol levels in hair may serve as a useful biomarker for assessing mood in individuals with bipolar disorder over recent months.

This study reports that hair cortisol measurement in older Puerto Rican adults found a significant portion had non-detectable cortisol levels, especially among black participants, influencing exclusion rates in such populations.

This case report observed hypertrichosis on the left forearm of an 80-year-old woman, possibly linked to her previous use of the topical steroid betamethasone butyrate propionate for dermatitis.

This study observed that female nurses experienced higher hair cortisol concentrations, indicating increased stress, during periods of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the summer release period.

This case report highlights the importance of timely biochemical and radiographic evaluation of adrenal masses, as illustrated by a rapidly progressing aggressive adrenal cortical carcinoma.

This case report describes a 19-year-old female with recurrent alopecia totalis who experienced complete remission after re-treatment with various therapies, emphasizing the importance of long-term follow-up in managing alopecia areata.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This study established age-adjusted reference intervals for hair cortisol in children from birth to 18 years, finding higher cortisol levels in infants possibly linked to slower hair growth.

This case report describes two instances of hyper-pigmentation induced by prolonged misuse of Betnovate cream, where cessation and appropriate treatment led to significant improvement within 15 days.

This study observed that stress, as indicated by hair cortisol concentrations, may trigger onset of hair loss in alopecia areata, although the findings were not statistically significant.

In this study, dementia caregivers showed lower hair cortisol levels than controls despite reporting higher perceived stress, providing weak support for the Perseverative Cognition Hypothesis and suggesting complex effects of caregiving stress.

Certain scalp tissue features can predict how well alopecia areata responds to steroid injections.

This letter to the editor raises the possibility of a new medical entity characterized by symptoms such as poikiloderma, hyperpigmentation, alopecia, malformed bones, lymphedema, and decreased cortisol, but provides no clinical results.

This review discusses the potential role of systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of progressive vitiligo, but reports no new clinical results and suggests further research is needed.
