This study produced a high-coverage genome of the Tyrolean Iceman, revealing no Steppe-related ancestry but significant Anatolian-farmer-related ancestry, and found genetic markers associated with darker skin, male-pattern baldness, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, aligning with observations of his mummified body.

This study found that the scalp coverage scoring (SCS) method is a non-invasive and reproducible technique that effectively measures hair growth and loss dynamics in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that insurance coverage for cranial hair prostheses in patients with alopecia areata is generally inadequate, adding to their financial and psychological burdens.

This study found that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing followed by imputation effectively identifies genetic variants associated with wool traits in Angora rabbits, offering a cost-efficient method for genetic research and breeding.

This study found that US and EU experts provided similar ratings of hair loss changes from global photographs in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia, supporting the use of standardized photographic evaluations.

This prospective study observed that low-dose oral minoxidil improved anterior hairline and eyebrow coverage in adult women with frontal fibrosing alopecia and was generally well-tolerated.

Medicaid coverage for alopecia areata treatments is inconsistent and often limited.

This review discusses the current limitations in insurance coverage and access to facial masculinization surgery in the US and suggests that expanding insurance policies may help reduce care inequities.

In this research, experienced clinicians noted inconsistency in the reproducibility of the commonly used Hamilton-Ludwig scales for assessing pattern hair loss severity in photographic assessments, leading to the proposal of a new 5-point scale for staging female hair loss.

Media coverage led to more dermatologists prescribing low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss.

Media coverage increased public interest in oral minoxidil for hair loss but may also spread misinformation.

This study found a 31% decrease in antidepressant use following cosmetic surgery, suggesting that such procedures may influence medication use by improving self-esteem.

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 found that health insurance mandates following the Affordable Care Act increased colorectal cancer screening rates by 2.8 percentage points among U.S. adults aged 50 to 74.

This article argues against the widespread use of isolated frontal forelock hair transplantation for most patients, suggesting more extensive coverage is often a reasonable option.

This cross-sectional study examined gender-affirming surgeries in Canada, finding significant variation in provincial insurance coverage, with Prince Edward Island covering the most procedures and Nunavut the least, while noting a general lack of in-province procedures in the territories.

This study found that using autologous ultra-thin split-thickness skin grafts from the scalp with the DermaBlade tool led to rapid wound healing, minimal complications, and improved cosmetic outcomes for 90% of patients with lower extremity lesions, without causing scarring or alopecia.

This study examined wool traits in Angora rabbits using low-coverage whole genome sequencing, identifying six QTLs and a gene, FGF10, linked to fiber growth and diameter, suggesting a cost-effective approach for complex trait analysis in genomic breeding.

In this report, the authors suggest that for extensive baldness, the uniform density approach in hair restoration surgery is less noticeable, especially in situations like wind or exercise.

This study developed and tested a shampoo with semi-permanent dyes designed to gradually cover gray hair, reporting maintained stability and effective gray–black coloration on high-canities hair tresses through eight wash cycles.

This article reviews different grafting strategies for hair restoration surgery in extensive baldness and suggests uniform density grafting offers less detectable results, especially under adverse grooming conditions.

In this analysis of the BRAVE-AA trials, a significant number of patients with severe alopecia areata treated with baricitinib reached complete or nearly complete scalp coverage (SALT score ≤10 or ≤5) over 52 weeks, particularly among those with less severe baseline characteristics.

This study assessed the impact of a New York Times article on consumer interest in androgenetic alopecia treatments by surveying dermatologists about practice trends and analyzing online search data related to low dose oral minoxidil and hair loss from February 2022 to February 2023.

This study found that muscle-only free flaps for skull coverage were associated with serious complications, suggesting that composite or thicker muscle flaps may reduce these risks.

This study reported that polymeric nanofibers containing minoxidil sulphate showed effective encapsulation and stability, with minimal concentration loss over six months, making them potentially ideal for delivering this unstable drug in a more visually appealing and easier-to-apply form.

This study analyzed the cost-effectiveness of scalp cooling as a means of preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss and found it to be financially reasonable compared to dermatologic management strategies, suggesting that it should be considered for routine insurance coverage due to its cost-effectiveness.

This case study reports that treating a female patient with facial partial unilateral lentiginosis using a 532-nm Nd:YAG fractional picosecond laser resulted in significant improvement in pigmentation without notable side effects, indicating it may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment option.

This article describes a framework for evaluating new health technologies by integrating quantitative evidence with qualitative assessments and using precedents to guide policy decisions, without reporting new clinical results.

This study developed and finalized standard treatment workflows for thirteen common skin diseases, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis, to optimize management across primary, secondary, and tertiary care centers in the country, with resources available both online and in physical formats.
