This case report highlights that trichoscopy facilitated early diagnosis of discoid lupus erythematosus of the scalp in a 9-year-old boy, with oral prednisone minipulse therapy leading to complete remission and hair regrowth.

In this case report, a 42-year-old man with radiation-induced alopecia following endovascular embolization for a cerebral arteriovenous fistula experienced complete hair regrowth after three months of treatment with intramuscular corticosteroids and topical 5% minoxidil, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for faster recovery.

In this study, chronic finasteride administration in male rats led to depression- and anxiety-like behaviors only in specific tests and moderately affected hippocampal synaptic plasticity, possibly due to adaptive plasma corticosterone level changes over time.

This study suggests that the key mechanism of stress-related hair loss involves CRH-induced PTEN loss, which reduces autophagy and increases apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, highlighting potential therapeutic targets like PTEN activation or autophagy enhancement.

This study found that male patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher levels of copeptin and cortisol compared to healthy controls, suggesting these biomarkers could play a role in the condition's pathophysiology and may serve as diagnostic indicators.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum T3 and cortisol levels compared to healthy controls, although both remained within normal ranges, highlighting potential hormonal involvement in the condition. However, no significant differences were observed in T4 and TSH levels.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome had significantly higher serum lactate dehydrogenase levels and lower levels of cortisol, dopamine, zinc, and vitamin D3 compared to healthy controls.

This case study found that multiparametric ultrasound can be an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool for evaluating scalp changes in alopecia areata following repeated corticosteroid injections, potentially offering an alternative to biopsy.

In an observational study, researchers examined how wage increases during the COVID-19 Omicron variant period, amid historic inflation, were related to stress levels among early childhood educators.

This study found that stress-related hair loss may be driven by CRH-mediated mechanisms that inhibit autophagy and increase apoptosis in dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential therapeutic targets like PTEN activation or rapamycin to enhance autophagy.

This study found that women undergoing mid-trimester termination of pregnancy exhibited increased cumulative cortisol and testosterone levels in hair samples, higher anxiety, but better stress coping strategies two months post-abortion, suggesting hair testosterone may be linked to emotional vulnerability such as neuroticism during this period.

In this study using mouse models, researchers found that stress-related hair loss may occur due to CRH-induced PTEN loss and inhibition of autophagy via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential treatments through PTEN activation or autophagy enhancement.

Higher pre-pregnancy BMI is linked to more stress in mothers and more behavioral problems in two-year-old children.

In this study, intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy for rapidly progressive alopecia areata showed that 74.5% of patients achieved a good response in the long-term, and a revised scoring system predicted relapse risk effectively in cases with preceding infectious symptoms.

In this study, researchers found that Ectoin, derived from halophilic bacteria, can mitigate stress-related skin damage by reducing cortisone's inhibitory effects on essential skin proteins and decreasing UVB-induced glucocorticoid activity, highlighting its potential as a preventative agent for stress-induced skin issues.

This study found that intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide combined with latanoprost (a PGF2α analog) was more effective in treating localized alopecia areata, showing higher treatment response rates and greater reduction in severity scores compared to other treatments.

Cortisone and cortisol levels in pregnant women’s hair increase as labor approaches, indicating higher stress.

This study provides insights into systemic lupus erythematosus patients' experiences with Anifrolumab, highlighting improvements in symptoms and health-related quality of life, despite ongoing daily life impacts.

This study explored the experiences of systemic lupus erythematosus patients receiving Anifrolumab, revealing improvements in self-reported symptoms and daily life impacts alongside decreased disease activity and lowered corticosteroid use.

This study found that combining intralesional PTX and corticosteroids may enhance treatment outcomes for alopecia areata, with PTX showing better long-term effects compared to corticosteroids alone.

Atomic Force Microscopy is a more accurate way to assess hair damage and the effect of cosmetic treatments.

In this case study, a 44-year-old woman with an adrenal adenoma secreting both cortisol and androgens developed Cushing syndrome and significant virilization, but experienced major symptom improvement following surgical removal of the benign tumor.

Ganoderma lucidum extract may help treat stress-related hair loss.

This study suggests that potent topical corticosteroid occlusion may be a safe and effective treatment option for pediatric patients with severe alopecia areata, although further research is needed on its long-term safety and recurrence.

This study found that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus reported improvements in symptoms such as fatigue and joint pain after Anifrolumab treatment, with a corresponding decrease in corticosteroid use, although some disease impacts on daily life remained.

Combining low-level laser therapy with topical corticosteroids effectively improved Lichen Planopilaris symptoms.

In this case report, significant improvements in a 58-year-old male with severe refractory myasthenia gravis and concurrent alopecia areata were observed following a cortisone taper, suggesting a potential therapeutic role, especially after thymectomy.

This study found that pulse corticosteroids effectively induce hair regrowth in alopecia areata, with betamethasone showing higher efficacy but more side effects, and treatment success varying depending on age, onset time, and disease type.

This retrospective study found that intralesional betamethasone injections led to significant repigmentation in scalp vitiligo patients without leukotrichia, suggesting it as an effective treatment option.

In this study, combining baricitinib and prednisone effectively achieved complete hair regrowth in seven out of eight women with very severe alopecia areata, contrasting with less effective results from each drug used alone.
