In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.

In this case report, a combination therapy including pyrantel pamoate, chlorpheniramine maleate, vitamin B-complex, and topical candlenut oil effectively treated dermatitis and Ancylostoma spp. infection in a dog, leading to improvement in skin condition and hair growth after 14 days.

In this study, researchers cloned a two-year-old Pomeranian with Alopecia X after its accidental death and found that the cloned dog developed the same hair lesions at the same age, suggesting the condition is genetically driven rather than environmentally influenced.

In this study, therapy successfully resolved mite infections in a domestic cat, leading to improved skin and ear health, including reduced crusting and itchiness, and cleaner ears after 15 days.

In this study of captive rhesus macaques, social hair plucking was related to kinship, showed characteristics of both prosocial and aggressive behaviors, and was associated with alopecia and hair cortisol concentrations in females.

This review discusses the controversial non-inflammatory alopecia known as alopecia X, highlighting its unknown etiology and the variable effectiveness of various proposed treatments, but reports no new results.

This report describes ten cases of pityriasis amiantacea to raise awareness of this uncommon scalp condition, highlighting its negative test findings and its uncertain association with other skin diseases.

In this case report, interferon-alpha treatment for a man with hemophilia and hepatitis C was associated with unexpected diffuse hair growth, likely caused by the medication.

This study identified Armillaria gallica and Armillaria cepistipes as the most common symbiotic species with Polyporus umbellatus in China, and reported genetic diversity among their genotypes.

In this study, 25% of CCHCR1-deficient mice exposed to stress developed hair loss similar to human alopecia areata, suggesting CCHCR1 is a susceptibility gene for the disease.

This review discusses male-pattern baldness and notes that minoxidil has a positive but often unsatisfactory cosmetic effect; it calls for further research since specific antiandrogens for treatment are lacking.

This study used an in silico/in vitro approach to identify potential inhibitors of the enzyme SRD5A2, finding that the androgen receptor modulator MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor, although it does not act as a covalent inhibitor like finasteride.

This study reports that bilateral adrenalectomy and DOC treatment in mink significantly advanced the onset of summer fur growth compared to controls, indicating adrenal hormones may inhibit this process.

This dataset provides supplemental material for a study on long-term particulate matter exposure and androgenetic alopecia risk, including additional exposure data and sensitivity analyses, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that antiandrogenic compounds in Curcuma aeruginosa, including germacrone, degrade rapidly at high temperatures but are more stable when solubilized in PEG-40.

This study found that multiple eccrine duct dilation is highly specific for diagnosing cicatricial alopecia and may indicate scarring processes, aiding in accurate differential diagnosis from noncicatricial alopecias.

This study found that the presence of Malassezia fungi in the scalp's hairy roots was more pronounced in individuals with androgenetic alopecia than in healthy controls, suggesting a potential link to the condition.

This chapter reviews a case of dermatophytosis in a dog, emphasizing diagnosis and treatment strategies without reporting new clinical results; it includes questions and answers to enhance veterinary dermatology skills.

In studying wild meerkats, researchers observed that matriarchs with high androgen levels during late gestation exhibited increased dominance and aggression, affecting both their behavior and their offspring's aggression.

This study found that high doses of TCB caused severe toxicity in cotton top marmoset monkeys, with clinical and histological changes similar to those in humans and other primates exposed to PCBs.

In this study, researchers at Go Pet Care Animal Clinic reported a varying prevalence of dermatophytosis in domestic cats from 2020 to 2022, highest in young and male Persian cats, with common lesions including alopecia mainly in the ear and back regions.

This review discusses the historical and current epidemiological trends of tinea capitis in Spain and warns about a potential resurgence due to increased anthropophilic species if not properly managed; it reports no new clinical data.

This case report describes a miniature dachshund with pustular dermatitis and other symptoms, developing pemphigus foliaceus after receiving afoxolaner, which was effectively managed with prednisone and cyclosporine.

This review discusses the potential use of Adiantum capillus-veneris extract as a treatment for COVID-19 symptoms in Egypt, highlighting a lack of specific clinical trials on its efficacy.

This study observed that among !Kung San males, adult androgen levels, particularly DHT, were negatively associated with indicators of fluctuating and directional asymmetry, suggesting a link to phenotype quality.

This study suggests that the presence of Malassezia yeast in biopsy specimens from cats with multifocal or generalized skin lesions indicates the need for a thorough assessment for internal neoplasia.

In this study, researchers found that mosaic PLCD1 hotspot variants, even without the recognized germline "risk allele," may be a rare but significant genetic cause of nevus trichilemmocysticus, warranting DNA testing and sensitive sequencing technologies for accurate diagnosis.

This study demonstrated that the FER/MLO signaling module regulates calcium dynamics and ROS accumulation in root hair growth, with the constitutively active MLO (faNTA) able to restore normal development and signaling in specific mutant genotypes, highlighting MLO15's role in root hair tip growth regulation.

This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of Albizia saponaria stem bark against microorganisms causing dandruff and fungal alopecia. It found that the hexane fraction exhibited potent antifungal effects comparable to ketoconazole, highlighting its potential as a natural therapeutic for dandruff.
