This study observed that management practices affect alopecia and hair cortisol in captive rhesus monkeys, with variations in these effects between different facilities.

In this study, researchers identified three molecules in hair that varied with age, suggesting potential markers for aging and targets for cosmetic products.

This study found that the 3-msec alexandrite laser effectively reduced unwanted, pigmented hair in individuals with skin types IV and V, but was less safe in those with skin type VI.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with childhood discoid lupus erythematosus, where treatment led to reversal of scarring alopecia and hair regrowth.

This study suggests that pilomatricoma can differentiate towards various hair follicle structures, including hair matrix, hair cortex, follicular infundibulum, outer root sheath, and hair bulge.

This study found no significant difference in hair cortisol concentrations, a chronic stress indicator, between sows in farrowing crates and those in loose-housing systems.

This paper contains author contact information and disclosures without reporting new research findings or results.

This study found that the promoter region of the sheep KRTAP11-1 gene drives specific transcriptional activity in wool follicles, suggesting it may regulate hair keratinocyte specificity.

This study found that 50% of patients with patchy alopecia areata who underwent chronic intralesional triamcinolone acetonide therapy had abnormal bone mineral density, suggesting the need for monitoring and preventive measures.

This systematic review assessed cyclosporine's effectiveness with or without corticosteroids for treating alopecia areata, finding combined therapy more effective and with a lower recurrence rate than monotherapy, especially for severe cases, though results varied by alopecia type.

This study found that hair follicle-specific keratins can form different structural assemblies depending on ionic conditions, with hair cortex keratins requiring physiological salt conditions to form intermediate filaments.

This study reported that relocation in police horses was associated with elevated hair cortisol concentrations, possibly suggesting altered welfare due to changed surroundings, and that seasonal variations affected both cortisol levels and hair growth.

This study found that depression and chronic stress are highly correlated in pregnant women, suggesting different stress mechanisms modulate hair cortisol levels in depressed versus non-depressed individuals.

This review discusses the use of topical and intralesional corticosteroids for treating alopecia areata, highlighting their efficacy and safety but noting recurrence and pain as limitations; no new clinical results are reported.

This study found that tofacitinib is an effective and more tolerable treatment than systemic corticosteroids for moderate-to-severe alopecia areata, and its combination with corticosteroids may offer improved efficacy.

In this retrospective study, researchers observed that additional rounds of intravenous corticosteroid pulse therapy led to only partial hair regrowth in some rapidly progressive alopecia areata cases, with all participants experiencing relapse, indicating limited efficacy for severe cases resistant to initial treatment.

Using Selenium Disulfide shampoo weekly helps prevent scalp dermatitis flare-ups.

This study found that betamethasone valerate in a foam vehicle has comparable total coverage to traditional topical corticosteroid vehicles, despite less coverage per unit of foam.

This study suggests that using antihistamines alongside a regimen of topical corticosteroid and superficial cryotherapy may enhance hair regrowth in patients with mild to moderate alopecia areata.

In this study, researchers reported no statistically significant association between hair cortisol levels and either perceived stress or objective neuroendocrine stress measures in a predominantly male participant group.

This study demonstrated that intramuscular corticosteroids were effective for severe alopecia areata, with significant hair regrowth in 80.2% of patients, though a high relapse rate was noted post-treatment. Nail involvement and disease duration over six months negatively impacted outcomes.

The researchers reported that QR678 Neo® combined with intralesional steroids significantly improved hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in treating alopecia areata compared to steroids alone.

This study found that a mutation in the seventh exon of the KRT86 gene plays a major role in the pathogenesis of monilethrix in a Chinese family.

This study found that school-related stress increases hair cortisol in girls and alters hair testosterone and cortisol levels in boys, indicating gender-specific hormonal responses to environmental changes.

This study suggests that hair cortisol and cortisone may moderate the relationship between work stress and depressive symptoms in Chinese fishermen, although their mechanisms differ.

This study found that topical corticosteroid foams are effective and generally preferred by patients for a variety of corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions, demonstrating significant clinical benefits such as improved psoriasis symptoms and hair regrowth in alopecia areata compared to traditional forms.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher hair cortisol concentrations, suggesting hyperactivation of the HPA axis may affect metabolic and inflammatory markers in those with elevated cortisol levels.

In this study, scalp hair sweating was a significant predictor of hair cortisol levels in healthy adults, while BMI and perceived stress, although associated, did not significantly predict cortisol levels.

This article reviews the types and characteristics of adrenal cortex tumors, including their hormone secretion and detection as incidental findings, but presents no new research results.

This case report suggests that starting selective Janus kinase 1 inhibition may improve alopecia in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who was not responding to TNF-α inhibitor therapy and corticosteroids.
