This study found that Vemurafenib led to a broad range of cutaneous side effects in nearly all patients with advanced melanoma, highlighting the need for regular dermatologic management and UV protection.

This study explored how silicones influence the interaction between hair fibers and their impact on hair volume under high humidity conditions.

This review article outlines grooming practices and treatments for pseudofolliculitis barbae, noting that while discontinuing shaving is an effective approach, those who cannot do so may benefit from adjusted shaving techniques, chemical depilatories, or laser therapies.

This study investigated price differences and found that haircare products targeting coily/curly hair are more expensive than those for straight hair types, with the authors suggesting that pricing policies should be more equitable to ensure affordable access for all individuals.

This review discusses cultural hair care practices for African American scalp health and recommends combining clinical evaluation with cultural knowledge, but reports no new research findings.

This study found that increasing collagen concentration to 2% in permanent wave treatments reduced hair damage but impaired curl formation.

This study found that androgenic alopecia is present in 22% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome and is associated with other clinical signs of hyperandrogenism, but not with increased biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction.

This chapter reviews techniques for treating pseudofolliculitis barbae and suggests that combining daily shaving with topical treatments like glycolic acid may effectively manage this condition without new clinical results reported.

This article proposes a methodology for selecting hair extension technology that aligns with natural hair structure and aesthetic goals, suggesting the best results are achieved by matching technique to hair's mechanical capacity.

This study suggests that while alopecia areata presents similarly across different skin tones, hair loss may be underestimated in individuals with more tightly coiled hair without a comprehensive examination, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive evaluation approaches, particularly for Black women.

This study identified a significant trend among Black women towards less frequent use of complex hairstyles and salon visits over 30 years, while managing grey hair became a key element of personal and social identity.

This study found distinct sex-based differences in the microscopic characteristics of scalp hair among a Nigerian population, providing valuable forensic data specific to this group.

This study found that no-shave long hair-follicular unit excision using a skin-responsive device, without recess-tipped punches, yielded low graft transection and shaft break rates, improved procedure speed, and increased surgeon willingness.

This study found that hair care products designed for coily/curly hair are significantly more expensive than those for straight hair, based on pricing data from Amazon.com. This indicates a need for equitable pricing to ensure access to affordable hair care for all hair types.

In this study, researchers created a mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology to investigate hypotrichosis simplex and woolly hair, finding that Krt71-knockout mice exhibited curly hair and developed complete hair shedding without immune deficiencies, mimicking conditions seen in humans and potentially aiding future hair disorder research.

This article reviews the specific cosmetology needs of black skin, highlighting related complications and the importance of cosmetovigilance, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study reports that hypotrichosis congenita in Hereford cattle is associated with a KRT71 mutation, leading to color dilution follicular dysplasia.

This study reported that hair microscopy can help diagnose rare pediatric neurological diseases, as specific hair characteristics were linked to conditions like giant axonal neuropathy, Griscelli syndrome, and Menkes disease.

This study found that the wavy coat trait in Nakano cataract mice is polygenic, involving major and minor genes, and resembles human curly scalp hair associated with the PRSS53 gene alteration.

This research suggests that geometric classification of hair into fewer groups may be more reliable and useful for studying hair characteristics, rather than racial descriptions, especially in medical and forensic applications.

This review discusses the pathology and treatment of hair and scalp conditions in African Americans, including "hot comb" alopecia and other scarring disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that after perm treatments, sufficient application of keratin and ceramide after middle rinsing enhances curl formation while considering hair health.
