A score of 6 or less is recommended to diagnose hirsutism in Colombian women.

This study found no significant differences in age, sex, or histopathological characteristics for differentiating basal cell carcinoma from benign tumors of cutaneous appendages, complicating diagnosis.

In this case report, researchers described how autoimmune thyroid disease can obscure primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosis, emphasizing the necessity of combining imaging, cytology, biochemical assessment, and parathyroid scintigraphy for accurate diagnosis.

This study reported that both AGA and SD in Caucasian male patients showed overlapping histopathological features with FAPD, particularly perifollicular fibrosis and inflammation, complicating diagnosis.

This review discusses diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) as an understudied variant of androgenetic alopecia, summarizing its presentation and management while calling for further research to better understand its distinct characteristics.

This case report describes how unique endoscopic findings led to the diagnosis of Satoyoshi syndrome coexisting with systemic lupus erythematosus and gastric adenoma, expanding the endoscopic understanding of the syndrome.

This case report describes a 4-year-old patient with complete hair loss and keratotic papules, leading to a diagnosis of atrichia with papular lesions, underscoring diagnostic challenges in resource-limited settings and suggesting a clinical framework for identifying this condition, especially in consanguineous families.

In this study, researchers explored the hormonal and biochemical factors linked to alopecia in women, highlighting how various factors such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and stress may influence hair loss patterns, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approach in trichological practice.

This study highlights the importance of developing standardized diagnostic tools, outcome measures, and evidence-based interventions to improve care and long-term outcomes for children and adolescents affected by long COVID-19.

This study found distinct hair metal profiles in Parkinson's disease patients, with lower iron and copper, higher manganese and arsenic, and explored their link to gut dysfunction and microbiota dysbiosis, suggesting hair metal analysis as a promising diagnostic tool.

UV dermoscopy helps detect white hairs in children more effectively.

This study found that targeting both hormonal and immune pathways improved treatment outcomes in androgenetic alopecia patients with an under-recognized inflammatory component called PIILIF, which may contribute to treatment resistance.

This study evaluated 129 patients with androgenetic alopecia and identified an inflammatory pattern of perifollicular infiltration linked to treatment resistance.
