This case report highlights that new nonscarring alopecia after transplantation may indicate chronic graft-vs-host disease, with dermatologists playing a key role in diagnosis and treatment.

This study suggests that hair analysis could serve as a diagnostic tool for detecting calcium channel activity, which influences hair calcium levels and may indicate calcium deficiency or related disease states.

This article discusses how changes in hair and nails may indicate systemic diseases, but it provides no new results; the authors emphasize their usefulness in clinical diagnosis.

This study suggests that persistent symptoms in patients with controlled functioning adenomas may indicate a coexisting PCOS diagnosis, highlighting the need for precise differentiation and timely management of these conditions.

This review discusses how hair and nail manifestations can indicate systemic diseases, emphasizing the importance of these appendageal clues in physical diagnosis, but reports no new findings.
