This review discusses the role of ferritin in iron homeostasis and its potential utility in diagnosing iron deficiency as a cause of hair loss, while noting that ferritin's impact on skin and hair disorders is not fully understood.

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

This paper describes Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) as a cosmetic procedure that creates the appearance of hair through medical hairline tattoos, providing a non-surgical alternative to hair transplants with no downtime.

This study reports two distinct patterns of hair changes in postmenopausal women, linking diffuse generalized scalp hair loss to older age and frontal hair loss to higher facial hair scores and younger age.

This paper reviews various techniques for measuring the physical and mechanical properties of human hair fibers, emphasizing their importance in developing effective cosmetic products.

This review discusses various non-invasive methods for diagnosing alopecia areata, highlighting that trichoscopy signs like short vellus hairs and yellow dots are sensitive indicators of the condition, while advanced imaging techniques provide valuable information on hair follicle status and scalp inflammation.

This review discusses follicular transplantation for hair restoration, highlighting the importance of evaluating patient suitability and careful planning to achieve excellent cosmetic outcomes, but reports no new research findings.

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.

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.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

This case report describes a 75-year-old woman with pustular psoriasis who developed Beau's lines on her nails, coinciding with episodes of telogen effluvium.

This study found that trichoscopy using anisotrichosis criteria was 75% sensitive and 61.54% specific in diagnosing early female pattern hair loss in women without visible hair thinning.

This study presents the first documented case of dramatic hair regrowth in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient with refractory alopecia following tofacitinib therapy, suggesting a potential new application for JAK inhibitors in difficult-to-treat cutaneous SLE manifestations.

This study found that a combination of oral compounds improved metabolic activity, cell viability, and proliferation in hair follicular keratinocytes, with L-cystine playing a key role in protection against oxidative stress.

This study found that women with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting an association between iron deficiency and this form of hair loss.

This review discusses how menopause and hormone replacement therapy affect skin aging in women but reports no new clinical findings.

This abstract outlines the historical development and medical validation of artificial hair implants, particularly the approval and improvement of the Biofibre® implant technique in Europe and Australia, and highlights its advantages as the latest advancement in hair restoration treatments.

This review discusses skin diseases related to contraceptive use, reporting potential issues with oral contraceptives and infrequent reactions to mechanical or barrier methods without new clinical findings.

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 reported common skin changes and symptoms associated with thyroid disorders, such as dry skin in hypothyroidism and warm, soft skin in hyperthyroidism, and noted urticaria as a frequent autoimmune association in hypothyroid patients.

A young man was unexpectedly diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma after a scalp examination and confocal microscopy.

This review updates on various methods for hair and scalp examination, encompassing non-invasive, semi-invasive, and invasive techniques, and reports no new results.

This study observed that skin pigmentation significantly attenuates bioluminescent signals in C57Bl/6 mice, complicating quantitative optical imaging and requiring consideration in experimental design.

This review explores new theories, diagnostic tools, and management strategies for primary cicatricial alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

This review article examines the current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia, noting its prevalence in different demographics and the roles of genetic and environmental factors in its pathogenesis, while highlighting that treatment approaches remain varied and lack standardization.

This study found that the medulla of Japanese hair contains unsaturated lipids such as squalene and oleic acid, which may contribute to hair glossiness.

This review discusses the strong correlation between reflectance confocal microscopy images and horizontal histopathology in diagnosing skin tumors, highlighting the reliability of this non-invasive technique; no new clinical results are reported.

This study examined 144 patients with COVID-19 in Guatemala and found a significant link between skin manifestations, especially those with vasculonecrotic damage, and a higher likelihood of severe to critical illness.

This study provides an updated overview of non-scarring alopecia in lupus erythematosus patients, revealing that diffuse/patchy NSA and lupus hair are strongly associated with systemic activity and respond well to SLE therapy, while progression to scarring alopecia was rare.

This study developed a simplified multidimensional assessment scale for alopecia areata severity and systemic treatment initiation among Chinese patients, achieving expert consensus on relevant clinical indicators and conditions.
