This case report describes a 33-year-old Kashmiri woman with Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome who has a rare DCAF17 gene mutation, c.321+1G>A, providing further evidence for its role in the genetic basis of this neuroendocrine disorder.

This study found significant gender differences in total testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels among noncritical COVID-19 patients, which were associated with severity markers in males.

Red dots on the upper chest may be an early sign of certain types of hair loss.

This report describes two patients with ichthyosis linearis circumflexa exhibiting symptoms resembling Netherton's disease, noting multiple hair shaft defects and discussing a possible connection to aminoaciduria.

In this study, trichoscopy significantly improved diagnostic accuracy in non-cicatricial alopecia, identifying alopecia areata as the most common cause and effectively aiding diagnosis in 28.2% of ambiguous cases.

In this randomized controlled trial, the combination of Bhringaraja Taila Shiroabhyanga and Yastimadhuka Taila Nasya was found to significantly improve hair density, reduce hair fall, and decrease scalp visibility in females with Khalitya compared to Nasya alone, with no reported adverse effects.

This study found that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may shorten the hair growth cycle through mechanisms like cell-cycle arrest and β-catenin downregulation in rat hair follicle cells.

In this study of healthy men, low levels of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone were associated with higher body mass index, fat content, and insulin resistance, but their effects on lipid and glucose metabolism were similar in quality.

This case report observed that while a 4-year-old boy with vitamin D-dependent rickets type II showed biochemical and bone improvement after vitamin D and calcium treatment, his alopecia did not improve.

A genetic mutation caused severe rickets and alopecia in an Indian patient, but high-dose calcium and phosphate treatment improved their condition.

This study examined the dermoscopic features of five patients with tuberous sclerosis and found that dermoscopy can differentiate characteristic cutaneous features from similar conditions, potentially aiding in earlier diagnosis when other symptoms are subtle or absent.

This study found that alopecia areata patients had higher oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation levels than healthy controls, suggesting potential involvement in the disease's pathogenesis.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy with atrichia with papular lesions, emphasizing that dermoscopy, showing the 'cluster of stars' appearance, facilitated diagnosis without needing a skin biopsy.

In this case report, researchers described a two-year-old girl with Vitamin D dependent rickets Type II, noting elevated 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and alopecia, and observed limited treatment response likely due to poor compliance.

This report describes a new case of isolated trichothiodystrophy with characteristic brittle hair and suggests a simplified classification scheme for understanding sulfur-deficient hair disorders.

This abstract discusses the unclear role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in postembryonic life in marsupials and possibly humans, reporting no new findings.

This study found that, among 100 patients with alopecia areata, the most prevalent subtype was patchy alopecia areata, with characteristic trichoscopic features including black dots, yellow dots, and empty hair follicles.

This study observed that over 60 days, Amalaki Churna, when administered to 30 patients with non-cicatricial hair fall, significantly reduced hair fall and improved hair tensile strength without adverse effects, suggesting beneficial Rasayana and Keshya properties.

This study reported that heat treatment significantly increased the incidence of alopecia areata in C3H/HeJ mice, suggesting a role for induced HSPA1A/B expression in disease development.

This study found that increased δ¹⁵N values in hair keratin could indicate physiological stress among early settlers with pathological conditions in Belleville, Ontario, while δ¹³C values remained relatively stable.

This study identified a novel CDH3 mutation associated with sparse hair and pigmentary macular changes in two siblings with hypotrichosis but no visual symptoms.

This study examined the age-related changes in the dermal structure of goat skin, providing baseline data on its histomorphology, histochemistry, and histoenzymology.

In this case study, a female patient with alopecia areata experienced significant symptom reduction after Ayurvedic treatments including Nasya and Pracchanna karma, suggesting potential effectiveness of this approach for managing autoimmune hair disorders.

In this survey-based study, researchers reported a high prevalence of hair loss among subjects in Delhi and the National Capital Region and noted widespread unawareness of its dietary, hormonal, genetic, and environmental causes.

In this case study, a 51-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with desmoplastic trichoepithelioma after histological examination of surgically excised facial plaques.

In this case report, a 22-year-old female was diagnosed with follicular Dowling-Degos disease based on clinical and histological findings, with symptoms including skin lesions confined to hair follicles. The report emphasizes the importance of differentiating this rare variant from similar conditions for proper management.

In this study, L-threonate was found to inhibit DHT-induced DKK-1 expression in cultured dermal papilla cells, suggesting it could help prevent androgen-driven balding.

People with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia have no sweat ducts and less, thinner hair.

This study found significant associations between pruritus and elevated parathormone levels, and xerosis and elevated serum creatinine levels, in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing haemodialysis.
