This chapter reviews common drug-related and systemic disorder-induced alopecias, focusing on their epidemiology, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, but reports no new findings.

This study suggests that pediatric androgenetic alopecia is often associated with metabolic syndrome risk factors, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for potential future health complications.

This review discusses various causes and patterns of canine alopecia, noting that symmetrical and diffuse hair loss often indicates an endocrinopathy, and reports no new clinical results.

This case study reports a rare coexistence of alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris in a 37-year-old woman and highlights the importance of targeting active scalp areas for biopsy to appropriately manage coexisting scarring and non-scarring alopecias, with distinct therapeutic priorities.

This review found a significant immunological link between diffuse alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, highlighting the importance of early recognition and thyroid function evaluation to improve clinical management and avoid diagnostic delays.

This study observed that diffuse alopecia is the most common type of non-cicatricial alopecia in females and is significantly associated with connective tissue diseases, use of certain medications, and lower blood hemoglobin levels.

This report describes a 57-year-old woman with fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, who experienced hair regrowth with combined treatment including hydroxychloroquine and other topical and oral therapies.

This article discusses androgenetic alopecia, its progression, signs of hyperandrogenism, and impacts on quality of life, without presenting new clinical findings.

This review discusses telogen effluvium in women and suggests that combining minoxidil with supplementary therapies may enhance treatment outcomes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia is the leading cause of hair loss in adolescents and may indicate endocrine disorders, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis.

This article describes two cases where essential alopecia was the initial sign of syphilitic infection, examining the clinical and histopathologic features observed.

This article outlines management guidelines for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting that continued treatment with medications like finasteride or minoxidil typically halts progression and improves hair condition in most mild to moderate cases.

In this study, old age was concluded not to be a significant cause of hair loss, with most cases in the elderly appearing to be androgen-driven.

This study is the first to describe a mixed pattern of essential syphilitic alopecia using trichoscopy, identifying features like tapered bended hairs and perifollicular hyperkeratosis in a patient without secondary syphilis symptoms.

This study found that among Japanese women with diffuse hair loss, decreased hair density without changes in vellus hair was the most common and distinct pattern observed, highlighting differences from previous observations in other populations.

Hair loss is often linked to thyroid problems, especially in women and older people, and screening for thyroid issues is advised for those with hair loss.

This study found that telogen effluvium was the most common type of diffuse hair loss among women, with psychological stress and iron deficiency anemia being significant contributing factors.

This study suggests that yellow dots observed in scalp videodermoscopy are not highly specific to alopecia areata, as they appear in various types of alopecia.

This review details five cases of syphilitic alopecia, an uncommon symptom in syphilis affecting mainly men, emphasizing that dermatologists should be vigilant as it can appear as the sole symptom.

This report describes a case of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its distinction from other forms of lichen planopilaris and pattern hair loss.

This article discusses primary cutaneous virilism, focusing on alopecia in women with androgen-dependent skin conditions, and reports no new findings.

The authors concluded that trichoscopic examination can be useful for diagnosing syphilitic alopecia in patients with idiopathic alopecia, though the findings are nonspecific and further studies are needed.

This study found that cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors used for metastatic breast cancer caused alopecia resembling androgenetic alopecia, negatively impacting patients' quality of life, but topical minoxidil showed potential for improvement.
