Dermoscopy helps diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying specific scalp features.

Certain drugs and supplements may contribute to hair loss in the frontal hairline in older women.

This article describes how recognizing distinct trichoscopic features aids in diagnosing various dermatological conditions and hair loss, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study observed that in a series of 28 patients with different types of alopecia, specific trichoscopic markers like exclamation-mark hairs and yellow dots helped distinguish alopecia areata from conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus, which showed follicular ostia loss and white scarring.

Among patients with biopsy-proven FAPD in specialized hair clinics, this study found the condition is common in females around 52.5 years old, with treatment generally stabilizing or slightly improving hair loss, despite challenges in differentiating FAPD from androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, 45 patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma treated with the medication sonidegib experienced a 24% incidence of alopecia, with detailed trichoscopic and LC-OCT examination revealing specific hair changes, suggesting LC-OCT might help identify early signs of alopecia from sonidegib use.

This study found that dermoscopy of the axilla in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia revealed significantly higher odds of brownish peripillary halos, suggesting a diagnostic clue for the condition in this region.

This article discusses trichotillomania and trichoteiromania, focusing on their clinical presentation, main trichoscopic features, and similarities in hair loss patterns but reports no new research findings.

In this study, the researchers reported that early diagnosis and treatment of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may arrest or potentially reverse disease progression, though some patients experienced continued hair loss.

A woman's hair loss was correctly diagnosed as Lichen planopilaris after initial misdiagnosis, highlighting the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair disorders.

This review discusses alopecia classifications for diagnosis and prognosis but reports no new clinical findings.

This chapter reviews the causes, clinical characteristics, and modern management of male and female pattern hair loss but reports no new clinical results.

The document concludes that understanding nail anatomy is key for diagnosing nail diseases, early signs of nail melanoma may allow for less aggressive treatment, and specific genetic mutations are important in thyroid cancer prognosis and treatment.

Non-scarring hair loss can be diagnosed with two 4mm punch biopsies, one cut vertically and the other transversely.

RET mutation is important in familial medullary thyroid carcinoma, and BRAF mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma is linked to more aggressive cancer and higher death rates.

This review explores the connection between oxidative stress and polycystic ovary syndrome, discussing potential mechanisms and the possible role of antioxidants; it reports no new clinical results.

This abstract lists authors and their affiliations but does not provide any research findings or insights.

This study highlights that mutations in the MBTPS2 gene can lead to dermatological disorders like IFAP syndrome and severe bone diseases such as X-Linked Osteogenesis Imperfecta, emphasizing the significance of understanding these genetic variants for disease mechanisms and associations.

This study concluded that dermoscopy enhances the diagnostic capability for cicatricial alopecia beyond clinical inspection and identified novel dermoscopic features such as blue-grey dots.

This review examines the use of dermoscopy for diagnosing common hair disorders and highlights its importance, but it does not report new clinical results.
