This letter challenges an interpretation of results from a zinc lozenge trial that suggested patient perceptions of receiving treatment might indicate effective blinding, arguing this only holds for crossover studies.

In this study, an innovative flap procedure was described that may effectively treat extensive frontal baldness through a 180° rotation of a midline occipital flap, aligning hairs naturally.

Surgical hair restoration has improved since 1959, with new techniques like minigrafts, micrografts, and scalp reductions creating more natural hairlines and reducing bald skin, despite some risks and potential for scarring.

This study reports ten cases of non-marginal traction alopecia in women with very long hair, which was improved with shorter hair cuts and topical minoxidil application.

Act quickly to prevent permanent hair loss from tight hairstyles.

In this study conducted among secondary school girls in Minia, Upper Egypt, researchers reported a traction alopecia prevalence of 31%, suggesting a significant occurrence of this potentially reversible hair loss due to tight hairstyles.

In this study, two cases of cutis verticis gyrata were associated with chronic traction alopecia due to tight hairstyles, highlighting the need to consider hairstyling history in diagnosis and management.

This study highlights the variation in clinical findings of traction alopecia and emphasizes that changes in hairstyles may prevent progression to scarring alopecia.

Finasteride and minoxidil are effective, low-risk treatments for male hair loss, and patient education on these therapies is important.

This chapter reviews traction alopecia, discusses its clinical presentation and severity grading, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight controversies in its treatment and prevention strategies.

This report describes a 55-year-old African woman with a 4-year history of frontotemporal alopecia and total eyebrow loss, who experienced scalp itching and had unsuccessfully undergone hair transplantation.

This letter highlights the challenge of implementing ethical principles in healthcare due to society's dependence on financial systems, suggesting this may hinder public health and environmental well-being.

This commentary discusses challenges in maintaining proper blinding in placebo-controlled trials, illustrated by a study where zinc and placebo lozenges were nearly indistinguishable in taste by participants.

This article proposes a standardized naming system for areas of the balding scalp to improve communication among hair restoration professionals, but it reports no clinical results.

Hair restoration should focus on quality and value, not cost, to maintain the field's reputation and ensure patient satisfaction.

In this study, miniflap scalp reconstruction with a staged scalp-lifting procedure showed excellent flap viability, acceptable scarring, and customizable hair direction, offering a preferred option for hair relocation in selected cases.

This article describes a concentric mini-micrografting method for extensively bald patients that achieves natural-looking hair restoration and maintains a normal appearance at all stages of treatment.

The document listed various medical job opportunities with competitive benefits and living conditions.

This abstract contains no research findings; it outlines website features and access options for the JAMA network's publications.

This article revisits the genetics of pattern baldness but reports no new clinical findings.

Best hair transplant results happen when tissues are least damaged.

In this study, homozygous VDR null mutant mice exhibited nonfunctional vitamin D receptors, leading to growth abnormalities and revealing the limited physiological importance of vitamin D pathways outside the classical receptor.

This study shows that ZIP7 is a functional zinc transporter in mammalian cells, facilitating the movement of zinc from the Golgi apparatus to the cytoplasm.

This review discusses the various dermatological applications of zinc, including its use in treating infections, inflammatory dermatoses, pigmentary disorders, and neoplasias, and reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, clobetasol propionate 0.05% ointment was found to induce hair regrowth in 28.5% of patients with severe alopecia areata under occlusive conditions, though long-term benefit was limited to 17.8%.

This review discusses the effects of estrogen on skin and reports no new clinical results; it highlights estrogen's potential benefits on skin thickness, collagen quality, and hair follicle life cycle.

This review noted that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease impacting hair follicles and offered insights into its complex pathogenesis involving immune responses, while highlighting ongoing research into new treatments such as Janus kinase inhibitors and other immunomodulatory drugs.

This review discusses mammalian models of epimorphic regeneration to define a vertebrate regeneration blastema, concluding that regenerative failure likely stems from cellular responses to the microenvironment after injury, not progenitor cell availability, and calls for targeted modification studies in mammals to advance human regeneration.

This study reported successful repigmentation without scarring in patients with localized and segmental vitiligo after epidermal grafting, but the Koebner phenomenon hindered similar results in some with generalized vitiligo.

This study describes a case series of nine patients experiencing symptoms of selenium toxicity after consuming a liquid dietary supplement with an excess amount of selenium.
