In this review, the authors concluded that trichoscopy is a quick, non-invasive, and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring non-scarring alopecia, offering a more precise and faster alternative compared to other diagnostic methods for identifying and managing different types of hair loss.

This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

This study found that the TrichoScan software effectively differentiated between androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium in women with diffuse hair loss, aligning with clinical diagnoses.

This study found that clinical examination is effective for diagnosing certain non-scarring hair loss types in women, although histopathologic studies are necessary for exact diagnoses, and laboratory tests did not correlate well with clinical findings.

This study suggests using a handheld dermatoscope may allow for simple and efficient differentiation of eruptive vellus hair cysts by detecting vellus hair shafts, as demonstrated in a familial case involving five women.

This systematic review provides an in-depth evaluation of non-invasive imaging and biophysical methods for diagnosing and monitoring vitiligo, emphasizing the need for studies with larger sample sizes to verify their use in clinical practice and research.

This review discusses the diagnostic and treatment challenges of trichotillomania and emphasizes the need for better-designed studies to optimize treatment approaches.

This article reviews current diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies for polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting the role and limitations of the Rotterdam criteria and anti-Müllerian hormone, but it reports no new findings.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders.

This study examined 1,992 patients at a hospital in India for signs of B12 deficiency and found common symptoms included hair loss, poor memory, and weakness. The study also reported that adding vitamin B12 powder to prepared food could improve blood levels of the vitamin.

This paper explores the emerging field of plasma medicine and its demonstrated effectiveness in treating chronic wounds, infections, and cancer, while highlighting challenges and opportunities for integrating plasma technologies into healthcare practices globally.

This review examines the methods and challenges in androgen laboratory diagnostics, discussing their advantages, limitations, and evolution; it presents no new experimental results.

This study suggests that novel diagnostic, preventive, and treatment approaches for autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata may be developed by identifying hub genes, and highlights the usefulness of machine learning and bioinformatics in finding new disease biomarkers.

This study suggests that hair cortisol measurement could serve as an alternative diagnostic method for Cushing’s disease, showing acceptable concordance with urinary free cortisol despite differing evaluated periods.

This case report highlights how trichoscopy enabled the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in a woman experiencing diffuse hair loss, emphasizing its utility as a diagnostic tool.

This study describes characteristic trichoscopic features of various hair loss diseases and proposes an algorithmic method for diagnosing them, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that line-field confocal optical coherence tomography effectively visualized key diagnostic features of classic lichen planopilaris in real time, suggesting its potential as a valuable diagnostic tool.

This report of three cases found that diagnosing hypercortisolism during pregnancy can be challenging, but early detection using unbound steroid levels and MRI could prevent severe complications.

This study observed that ethnic Indian women with PCOS often experience early symptom onset, delays in diagnosis, and report poor quality of life, highlighting the need for culturally tailored healthcare approaches.

This article describes a case of severe hyperandrogenism in a 35-year-old woman where high-resolution imaging ruled out tumors, and treatment with cyproterone acetate normalized testosterone levels.

This study found that ethnic Indian women with PCOS are dissatisfied with the medical support and information they receive at diagnosis, impacting their quality of life, especially concerning weight and mental health.

This review explores recent insights into the causes, clinical features, diagnosis, and comprehensive treatments of female-pattern hair loss, emphasizing the importance of trichoscopy and highlighting approaches like nutritional correction and various therapies including low-intensity lasers and PRP.

This review explores the complex factors involved in alopecia areata, such as immune and genetic influences, and discusses advances in diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, while reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that total testosterone and free testosterone are recommended as first-line tests for diagnosing biochemical hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS; liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry is preferred for its accuracy.

This study found that using age-specific AMH cut-off levels can help better identify PCOS patients across different age groups from 20 to 40 years.

This study outlined modern approaches for using cosmeceuticals in trichology, emphasizing evidence-based medicine, personalized care, and patient safety. It proposed the H.A.I.R. model as a universal algorithm for trichological programs and suggested new educational and practical tools for specialists in trichology and aesthetic medicine.

This study concluded that including intermediate hairs or using relative shaft diameter methods can significantly improve the sensitivity of trichograms in diagnosing female androgenetic alopecia, aligning better with histopathology results.

A new method can better diagnose eruptive vellus hair cysts.

In this study, researchers investigated the alignment of trichoscopic findings with ayurvedic signs (lakshanas) for diagnosing hair loss, suggesting that integrating these perspectives could enhance diagnostics and management of hair and scalp conditions.
