This chapter describes two simple, noninvasive methods — the pull test and modified wash test — which can diagnose and assess the severity of female hair loss, including conditions like telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia.

This systematic review concludes that trichoscopy is a reliable diagnostic tool for trichotillomania and should be incorporated into standard clinical practice for differential diagnosis.

The authors concluded that utilizing clock gene expression from hair follicle cells may improve circadian-phase estimation in clinical settings, aiding the detection of circadian-related sleep problems despite social time constraints.

This article reviews the causes and treatments of hirsutism, emphasizing the importance of considering ethnic and cultural norms when interpreting grading systems, and reports no new original findings.

This article outlines hypertrichosis lanuginosa, emphasizing its rarity, potential congenital or acquired nature, association with malignancy, challenges in diagnosis, limited treatment options, and the need for more research to understand its mechanisms.

This study found that trichoscopy can effectively identify specific patterns associated with Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and serum ferritin deficiencies in patients with Telogen Effluvium, offering a non-invasive alternative to blood tests for early diagnosis and management.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the need for firm diagnostic criteria.

This review proposes a classification system for childhood hair loss based on clinical appearance, age of onset, and associated symptoms, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses hair shaft disorders, noting the lack of specific treatments and recommending general care practices to prevent hair damage, with some improvement possible during puberty or with treatments like minoxidil.

This study found that in dogs with dermatological disorders, fungal dermatitis was diagnosed in 20.77% of cases, with Microsporum spp. being the most common fungal pathogen, emphasizing the need for thorough diagnostic approaches including clinical, microscopic, and cultural assessments.

This article outlines the clinical features, evaluation, and treatment strategies for androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting important diagnostic and management approaches but reporting no new research results.

This study found that people with alopecia who worry about not wearing a wig reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and social anxiety, although wig use increased social confidence for many.

This review discusses the diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome and reports no new results; the authors propose more robust criteria to address diagnostic variability and measurement uncertainty.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of primary scalp alopecia, focusing on scarring and non-scarring types, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes simplified diagnostic pathways and tissue processing techniques.

This review summarizes current knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of hirsutism but provides no new clinical results.

This study reports that the AndroCoV Clinical Scoring for COVID-19 Diagnosis provides a quicker, more sensitive, and inexpensive alternative to rtPCR-SARS-CoV-2 with an accuracy above 80% in diagnosing COVID-19.

This thesis developed stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, demonstrating their potential for targeted genetic material delivery with reduced toxicity and diagnostic applications, and explored pH-sensitive nanogels for effective skin drug delivery and monitoring.

This study examined the current literature on treatments for androgenic alopecia and found that while various methods exist, hair autotransplantation is still considered the gold standard due to its high graft survival and patient satisfaction.

This study found that trichothiodystrophy can be diagnosed prenatally in the second trimester using an endoscopically-guided fetal eyebrow biopsy, with sulfur content analysis being the most reliable test.

This study reported that trichoscopy is a more effective diagnostic tool than the trichogram for early diagnosis of FAGA, regardless of hair shaft diversity cut-off levels.

This article reviews structured management strategies for diagnosing and treating hair and scalp disorders, offering clinical guidelines and emphasizing the importance of psychosomatic care and patient-therapist communication.

This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of clinical hair loss without providing new clinical results.

In this study, researchers observed that using a combination of medications, including Bravecto, Cefuroxime, Orungal, Apoquel, and Derinat, effectively treated pododermatitis in dogs, increasing therapy success from 28.6% to 66.7%, and reducing treatment duration while extending remission periods.

This literature review highlights the changing epidemiology of tinea capitis due to global migration and underscores the importance of early recognition and treatment of atypical variants in immunocompetent children to minimize prolonged systemic antifungal therapy and prevent adverse events, especially regarding liver health.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This review discusses polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting its associations with hyperandrogenism, chronic anovulation, polycystic ovaries, and increased risks of infertility and metabolic disorders, and reports no new clinical results.

This study concluded that combining vertical and transverse sections of scalp biopsy specimens improves diagnostic yield for certain hair disorders without increasing costs.

In this study, researchers evaluated various machine learning models for predicting type 2 diabetes risk, finding that Random Forest and K-NN models performed best in terms of precision, recall, accuracy, and other metrics using common symptoms as features.

This review discusses the limitations of current androgen measurement techniques using immunoassays and explores the potential of novel in vitro bioassays for clinical research applications, but it reports no new clinical results.
