In this study, analysis of hair root status showed similar abnormalities in both primary and secondary syphilis patients, though it remains unclear if these are specific to syphilis.

This letter to the editor describes a case of anagen effluvium due to thallium poisoning from Chinese herbal medicine and rodenticide but reports no new research findings.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

The study found that pili bifurcati causes hair to intermittently split into two branches, each with its own outer layer.

This study found that dermatoscopic features can distinguish between tinea capitis and alopecia areata in children, with tinea capitis commonly showing comma hairs and alopecia areata showing exclamation mark hairs.

In this study, researchers identified an autosomal dominant mutation (E402K) in exon 7 of the KRT86 gene as a cause of Monilethrix in a large family from Turkey.

This case report describes the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 2-year-old boy using trichoscopy, highlighting its rarity and the challenge of diagnosing it without a family history.

This report describes two cases of Rapp–Hodgkin ectodermal dysplasia where refractory scalp erosions improved significantly with potent topical steroids; it also suggests a potential link between these scalp conditions and erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in elderly patients.

This study found that ossification in trichilemmal cysts may be more common than previously thought, often associated with cyst wall rupture, and reports a novel case of ossifying TC with extramedullary hematopoiesis.

This review summarizes the main trichoscopic findings for diagnosing common hair and scalp disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reports a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma with miliary calcification in a cutaneous horn, suggesting possible involvement of calcium-binding proteins in this unique presentation.

This case report describes a 50-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides stage IB, noting trichoscopic findings like dilated follicular openings, black dots, and dystrophic hairs, which are less commonly documented in this condition, suggesting trichoscopy could aid in early diagnosis.

This case analysis found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring treatment progress in tinea capitis by distinguishing between Microsporum and Trichophyton etiologies.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.

This case report describes a probable connection between lamotrigine treatment and hair loss, resolving upon discontinuation, suggesting alopecia as a rare side effect of the drug.

This study on female Wistar rats with stress-induced alopecia found that a modified diet rich in antioxidants and nutrients reduced dystrophic skin changes and preserved the functional activity of hair follicles, suggesting dietary approaches may support hair restoration under chronic stress conditions.

This case report describes a 7-year-old girl who developed radiation-induced alopecia after a neurointerventional procedure, with dermoscopy revealing specific hair and scalp patterns that helped diagnose this rare complication. The findings highlight the importance of dermoscopy in distinguishing RIA from other alopecic disorders in children.

In this study, a rare case of a trichilemmal cyst in a 6-year-old's upper eyelid was observed; it was identified through histopathological examination after excision, highlighting the importance of considering trichilemmal cysts in atypical pediatric eyelid swellings.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

This pilot study found that a novel nanoemulsion with Bakuchiol and Neem oil significantly improved hair regrowth in adults with Alopecia Areata without serious side effects, providing a promising natural alternative.

This case report describes radiation-induced alopecia in a patient following a fluoroscopy-guided procedure, with complete hair regrowth after six months of topical minoxidil treatment.

In this study, researchers found that topical application of 3-β-methoxy-Δ18-oleanene (miliacin) in mice sped up the recovery of hair follicles damaged by cyclophosphamide, moving them into a new hair growth cycle more quickly compared to controls.

This study found that alopecia areata patients have higher odds of certain comorbidities like ulcerative colitis and vitiligo, while showing lower odds for conditions like hypertension and type 2 diabetes compared to healthy controls.

In this study, both intralesional and microneedling treatments with triamcinolone acetonide significantly reduced alopecia areata markers, but their clinical responses did not differ significantly, suggesting microneedling as a safe, cost-effective option with minimal complications.

This study observed that both intralesional triamcinolone acetonide and microneedling with triamcinolone acetonide significantly reduced alopecia areata severity, with no significant difference in effectiveness between the two treatments, suggesting microneedling as an effective and less invasive option.

This study found that histopathologic features such as a catagen/telogen shift, melanin in fibrous tracts, and small dystrophic follicles can help differentiate alopecia areata from pattern hair loss in the absence of peribulbar infiltrates.

This study reported that hair microscopy can help diagnose rare pediatric neurological diseases, as specific hair characteristics were linked to conditions like giant axonal neuropathy, Griscelli syndrome, and Menkes disease.

This article discusses post-COVID-19 hair loss, highlighting potential misdiagnoses between different types and the expanded role of dermatologists; no new clinical findings are reported.

This study found that lower hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with male pattern hair loss in patients diagnosed with non-cicatricial alopecia.

This article discusses alopecia areata incognito, highlighting its diffuse hair loss pattern and favorable response to steroid treatment, but it reports no new clinical data.
