This study found that metabolic syndrome negatively affected the response to intradermal dutasteride injection in female pattern hair loss, with participants showing reduced terminal hair and increased vellus hair compared to those without the syndrome.

In this study, researchers found that topical ketoconazole showed delayed hair growth compared to minoxidil in female pattern hair loss but had fewer side effects, though patient satisfaction was similar for both treatments.

Among families with pediatric brain disease, this study identified over 200 novel genetic causes, revealing potential treatment points using drug repurposing or nutritional supplementation.

This study found that dermatoscopy can quickly and non-invasively detect facial vellus hair involvement in patients with alopecia frontal fibrosante, occurring frequently and associated with specific facial lesions.

This review examines the use of dermoscopy for diagnosing common hair disorders and highlights its importance, but it does not report new clinical results.

This article reviews strategies for planning and executing follicle graft harvesting using the strip technique, discussing procedural details but reporting no new clinical findings.

This review discusses three surgical strategies for hair restoration, emphasizing that both scalp reduction and flap rotation have unique benefits such as significant hair density, despite grafting techniques being more widely used, and reports no new clinical results.

In this report, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable tool for diagnosing temporal triangular alopecia in children due to its ability to reveal distinctive patterns that differentiate it from similar conditions like alopecia areata, eliminating the need for invasive biopsy.

This study found that diode laser effectively reduces unwanted facial hair in darker skin types and reported no serious adverse events, suggesting that trichoscopy is an underutilized tool for assessing laser hair reduction outcomes.

This study observed a significant association between antigliadin antibodies (IgA and IgG) and alopecia areata severity, suggesting that serological tests could help diagnose subclinical celiac disease in these patients, with IgA and IgG showing 100% sensitivity and specificity at specific cutoff points.

This study found that both superficial cryotherapy and intralesional corticosteroid injections significantly improved hair growth in patients with alopecia areata, with similar efficacy between the two treatments, establishing cryotherapy as a simple and noninvasive treatment option.

This case report describes a young man with bilateral morphea en coup de sabre, which recurred after being quiescent, highlighting its association with previous head trauma and alopecia.

This chapter reviews secondary uses for various drugs, noting that some have regulatory approval, indicating verified safety and efficacy, while others lack approval despite strong evidence.

This narrative review highlights that endurance, skill-oriented athletes, and physique-oriented competitors such as bodybuilders face accelerated degradation of fillers and botulinum neurotoxin due to elevated basal metabolic rates and other factors, and raised concerns about psychological conditions like body dysmorphic disorder in these populations.

This case report describes a pediatric instance of follicular atopic dermatitis in a dark-skinned patient, highlighting its unique clinical and dermoscopic features, such as purplish to brownish scaly papules and specific dermoscopic patterns, which are crucial for enhancing diagnostic accuracy in similar cases.

In this study, researchers found that parasitic dermatitis in dogs is predominantly caused by ectoparasites like fleas and mites, with flea allergy dermatitis being particularly prevalent, and noted that diagnosis typically relies on laboratory methods, while treatments involve insectoacaricidal drugs and prevention strategies.

This study conducted at a Moroccan tertiary dermatology center describes the characteristics of pediatric lichen, highlighting that dermoscopy can improve diagnostic accuracy by identifying distinct patterns across clinical variants, with lichen sclerosus being the most frequent subtype among the children studied.

This study found that certain genetic variants, specifically CYB5R1 and IL1A, may be linked to different types of acne scarring, with CYB5R1 associated with atrophic scarring and IL1A with fibrotic scarring, indicating a potential polygenic nature of acne scarring.

This review discusses the various skin changes, pregnancy-specific dermatoses, and medication management related to dermatologic health during pregnancy, aiming to provide clinicians with an evidence-based guide for diagnosis and treatment.

This study reports ten cases of non-marginal traction alopecia in women with very long hair, which was improved with shorter hair cuts and topical minoxidil application.

This study found that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in Hispanic male patients often resembles androgenetic alopecia, with a tendency for earlier onset compared to European and North American populations.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

This study suggests that using UVFD to examine non-pigmented facial lesions can potentially enhance diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary biopsies.

This study at the Dzerkalo Medical Center found that complex therapy for abscessing perifolliculitis of the scalp is more effective in reducing inflammation and follicle destruction compared to basic antibacterial therapy, which was associated with relapses during long-term follow-up.

This study found that combining topical calcipotriol with intralesional autologous PRP injection significantly reduced Severity of Alopecia Tool scores in patients with alopecia areata, more effectively than either treatment alone.

In this study involving 20 participants with alopecia areata, microneedling was reported to clinically improve hair density and growth in affected areas, with results starting around one month and concluding three months after the final treatment session.

UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.

In this study, breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy reported "worrying" and "weight loss" as prominent psychological and physical symptoms, respectively, and predominantly used praying or meditating and seeking advice as coping strategies.
