This study concluded that a polarized-light handheld dermatoscope attached to a digital camera is a practical and useful tool for diagnosing different types of alopecia.

Vitiligo causes white skin patches and is linked to autoimmune issues.

This article discusses the role of neurohormones and neuropeptides in hair follicle pigmentation and outlines promising neuroendocrinological strategies to address greying and damage, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the generation of complex integument patterns through genetic, chemical, and environmental influences, with applications in tissue engineering, but reports no new experimental results.

This article discusses various patterns of hair loss associated with lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the importance of identifying the specific type to aid in classifying systemic lupus erythematosus.

This review suggests that skin may largely protect itself from CYP-generated reactive metabolites due to higher conjugating enzyme activities, while highlighting limitations in modeling human skin metabolism experimentally.

This article discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, highlighting its prevalence, potential genetic factors, and management challenges, but reports no new clinical conclusions and calls for further research.

In this review, researchers examined the physiological benefits of Cheonggukjang, a salt-free fermented soybean paste, highlighting its various health-promoting components that may contribute to improved heart health, diabetes management, and cancer prevention, among other benefits.

This study found that a bacterial endophyte from Zea nicaraguensis effectively targets and colonizes plant root hair cells, promoting growth and solubilizing insoluble phosphorus for nutrient uptake.

This review focuses on the various skin symptoms associated with COVID-19 but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the integration of ultrasound in dermatology for improved lesion visualization and diagnosis, highlighting recent technological advancements like handheld devices and high-frequency probes, and reports no clinical results.

This study observed that while dexamethasone-cyclophosphamide pulse therapy is relatively free from hypertension and diabetes compared to conventional steroids in pemphigus patients, it frequently causes generalized weakness and flushing.

This review discusses trichoscopic features of hair disorders in individuals with dark skin phototypes and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more specific diagnostic criteria for these populations.

This study found that despite carrying an activating Hras mutation, hair follicle stem cells integrate into normal skin without causing tumors, unlike similar mutations in the epidermis, suggesting unique tumor-suppressing mechanisms in hair follicles.

Dermatoscopy helps diagnose hair and scalp disorders in people with Afro-textured hair, but more research is needed for better understanding and treatment.

Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.

This study found that alkali bromide solutions are absorbed into hair depending on salt activity, and the presence of the salt increases water absorption compared to normal conditions.

This study found that US adolescents with alopecia areata, especially those with alopecia totalis or universalis, experience significantly higher healthcare costs and resource use compared to matched controls.

Dermatologists diagnose and manage melanoma more effectively than general practitioners.

This Cochrane review found no clear superiority among treatments for central serous chorioretinopathy, with low-dose photodynamic therapy, supplements, and eplerenone showing slightly higher probabilities of improving visual acuity, but evidence remains uncertain due to biases and small study sizes.

This review discusses the economic burden of alopecia areata in adolescents and reports no new results; the authors note that evidence in this area is limited.

The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.

This source underscores the need for a multidisciplinary effort to raise awareness of Demodex and demodicosis, suggesting that prioritizing research, diagnostics, and treatment development could enhance global health outcomes and improve quality of life for affected individuals.

In this study, researchers found that topical ketoconazole showed delayed hair growth compared to minoxidil in female pattern hair loss but had fewer side effects, though patient satisfaction was similar for both treatments.

This review discusses segmental vitiligo as part of the vitiligo clinical spectrum and highlights its role as a model for studying repigmentation, but reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses the uses and techniques of trichoscopy for hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results.

Hair growth dysfunction involves various conditions with limited treatment options.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

The abstract discusses the multidisciplinary nature and advancement of dermatology and aesthetic procedures within the health sciences, emphasizing the integration of diagnostic, corrective, preventive, and therapeutic approaches, but does not provide specific study results.

This review discusses central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, its similarities to lichen planopilaris, and emphasizes the need for further research due to its underdiagnosis and impact on African-descended women.
