In this study, researchers reported that dermoscopic examination of eyebrow hairs can help in the early diagnosis of Netherton syndrome in children by detecting trichorrhexis invaginata, facilitating prompt counseling and care while awaiting genetic test results.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

This review discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of hair shaft disorders and suggests diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and light microscopy, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses genetic hair disorders in children, outlining diagnostic approaches and highlighting the significance of distinguishing isolated hair defects from those associated with syndromes, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the application of trichoscopy in diagnosing various hair and scalp diseases and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize its role as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

In this case report, a 16-year-old female with Netherton syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, exhibited symptoms such as skin issues, hair abnormalities, and elevated serum IgE levels. The diagnosis was supported by skin biopsy, and treatment included topical therapies, NB-UVB, and infliximab.

This case report highlights a 7-year-old boy with suspected Netherton syndrome who presented with itchy lesions, hair abnormalities, and elevated immunoglobulin E levels. The authors report complete resolution of symptoms with oral Acitretin after failed methotrexate treatment.

This study found that patients with chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus had elevated serum levels of interleukin 31, suggesting a possible role of this cytokine in the condition.

This study explored the dermatological phenomena associated with sports and clinical scenarios, detailing unique conditions like "Athlete's nodule," "Runner's toe," and "Swimmer's ear," along with their diagnostic features and management strategies, uncovering how sports activities inform dermatological terminology and practice.

This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

In this study, 13 men with male pattern baldness were rated significantly more attractive and somewhat healthier when wearing a custom-made toupee, with higher attractiveness ratings coming from male judges than female judges.

This report from Tangle Teezer and TRI Princeton indicates that their Extra Gentle brush reduces hair breakage by up to 39%, offering a therapeutic experience for users with fragile scalps.

This article reviews the Directory of Open Access Journals, an extensive global index of quality open access journals, and reports no new results.

Coffee and tea might help hair growth in balding individuals, but side effects and alternative uses are being considered.

Toupees improved perceived attractiveness, especially by older people, but had little effect on perceived self-assurance and health.

Act quickly to prevent permanent hair loss from tight hairstyles.

This study suggests that analyzing microscopic hair morphology, particularly loss of typical clubbing and proximal tapering, may help predict the clinical course of alopecia areata.

This study introduces a new method using printable templates to create standardized and optimized hairlines in male hair transplantation, reportedly improving surgical precision and enabling consistent, aesthetically pleasing outcomes.

This study concluded that a green tea extract hair tonic was stable, promoted more hair growth than 2.5% minoxidil, and did not cause skin irritation.

This paper highlights that traction alopecia is common among certain ethnic groups and occupations due to tight hairstyling practices, but early-stage hair loss can often be reversed with treatment and by avoiding these styling habits, as observed in Hispanic and Black women.

This study found that increased atypical club hair observed in microscopic hair examinations may be characteristic of telogen effluvium compared to healthy individuals and diffuse alopecia areata patients.

This study concludes that in men, telogen effluvium (TE) precedes androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with anagen shortening occurring before follicle miniaturization.

In this experimental study using male rabbits, researchers found that a 7.5% concentration of green tea leaf ethanol extract hair tonic was nearly as effective in promoting hair growth as the positive control, minoxidil, over a 21-day period.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

This report highlights a case where dermoscopic observation of corkscrew hairs in a young woman led to the diagnosis of trichotillomania, emphasizing its role in distinguishing this psychiatric disorder from other forms of non-scarring alopecia and highlighting the importance of timely intervention.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose and treat a child's fungal scalp infection by spotting specific hair shapes.

This study found that in female patients with telogen effluvium, club hair in the isthmus region was longer than in those with alopecia areata, offering insights into hair morphology differences.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.
