This study found that dermoscopy can identify typical features of Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, offering a valuable tool for diagnosing this condition in clinical settings.

This review discusses the pharmacognosy, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of Cuscuta reflexa but reports no new experimental results.

This case report described a 39-year-old male with 47XXY/46XX mosaic Klinefelter syndrome who presented with common features of the condition and male pattern baldness seen in his family.

This research reports a new autosomal recessive mutation in mice, 'lanceolate hair', causing generalized alopecia and hair shaft abnormalities, which may serve as a model for Netherton's syndrome in humans.

This case study reports that a police dog's pododemodicosis lesions resolved completely six months after a treatment regimen of ivermectin, antibacterial drugs, and beta-glucan.

This review highlights the potential medicinal benefits of Cuscuta reflexa, a parasitic plant known for its bioactive compounds, while emphasizing the need for further research to fully understand its therapeutic mechanisms and integrate its use into mainstream medicine.

This report describes two cases of monilethrix in Afghan siblings, detailing the hair disorder's clinical presentation and potential influences on hair growth, such as hormonal changes and iron supplementation.

In this study, an infection model using rabbits was developed for dermatophytosis by inoculating macroconidia of Microsporum species, showing that direct intradermal application effectively progressed to the skin invasion phase and highlighted the correlation between severity of symptoms and duration post-inoculation.

This study found that laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry can effectively reconstruct time-resolved mercury exposure in micrometer segments of a single hair strand from fish-eaters.

Young and adult hamsters both respond similarly to testosterone and finasteride treatments, but young hamsters aren't good for testing the inhibitory activity of a specific enzyme.

The researchers found that combining permethrin (44%) and fluralaner effectively reduced tick load in moose calves, as indicated by less severe hair loss, compared to untreated calves, while topical permethrin (5%) alone had no clear effect on tick load, body mass, or hematocrit.

In this animal study, petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of Abrus precatorius seeds appeared to reverse androgen-induced alopecia in male albino rats by inhibiting the 5α-reductase enzyme, similar to finasteride.

This letter discusses how severe baldness in men is associated with higher risk of severe COVID-19, and highlights research suggesting antiandrogen medications may improve outcomes.

This study presents the first report on cloning and characterizing the full-length cDNA of SRD5A1 in Indian catfish (Clarias magur), revealing expression differences across reproductive phases and increased expression post-Ovatide administration in ovaries and testis.

This study found that gonadal steroid hormones influence alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, with estradiol promoting progression and dihydrotestosterone conferring resistance to disease onset.

In this case report, researchers observed that a 47-year-old woman developed pityriasis amiantacea after using topical minoxidil, suggesting a potential new etiology for this scalp condition.

This article reviews nonscarring and scarring hair loss conditions that may mimic androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical results and highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis in hair restoration surgery.

This study found that human hair shows more susceptibility to perforation by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton verrucosum compared to animal hair, with black human hair serving as a reliable diagnostic tool for differentiation between the two species.

This case report describes a renal transplant patient with tinea capitis, revealing a fungal infection from Microsporum canis linked to her dogs, which resolved after treatment for both the patient and animals.

This case study reported a rare infection by Trichosporon inkin, causing white piedra in a family in Southern Brazil, emphasizing the importance of molecular tools for precise identification.

This article reviews the genetic mutations causing male pseudohermaphroditism from 17 beta-HSD-3 and 5 alpha-RD-2 deficiencies and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.

This article reviews monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder causing brittle hair and alopecia, and emphasizes the need for clinical diagnosis and characteristic tricoscopic findings.

This article reviews the use of anti-androgens, particularly cyproterone acetate, for managing hirsutism, but does not provide new clinical results.

This study is the first to document alopecia in Guadalupe fur seals in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, finding that it may result from nutritional stress due to higher sea surface temperatures.

In this veterinary case study, a 5-year-old Labrador with pruritus and alopecia tested positive for Malassezia pachydermatitis and recovered after treatment with oral terbinafine and topical ketoconazole.

This study found that L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate could reduce DHT-induced DKK-1 expression in balding scalp cells, suggesting potential for treating androgen-driven hair loss.

Male pattern baldness is a common type of hair loss in men.

This pilot study explored a new method using laser-capture microdissection and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze the human scalp hair follicle microbiome more accurately, revealing region-specific variations in microbial diversity and abundance.

This study found that Malassezia restricta was more prevalent in patients with Malassezia folliculitis, suggesting a potential relationship between this species and the condition.
