This source explores the association between alopecia areata and thyroid dysfunction, highlighting a particularly strong link with Hashimoto thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.

In this case report, localized myxedema of the scalp was identified in a patient with Graves disease and Hashimoto thyroiditis, emphasizing the varied skin manifestations in autoimmune thyroid conditions.

This study found that ageing in women leads to significant structural and biological changes in the scalp hair follicle environment, which may affect hair growth.

This case report describes the first known instance of a patient with myotonic dystrophy presenting with type I diabetes, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and follicular variant papillary thyroid cancer, suggesting a potential link between these conditions.

Children with alopecia areata should only get thyroid screening if they have Down syndrome, a family history of thyroid disease, atopy, or signs of thyroid problems.

This study found that age-related changes in scalp dermal fibroblasts, including increased MMP-1 and reduced ECM components, may significantly affect the hair follicle environment and contribute to hair aging.

This case report describes a rare presentation of myxedema coma in a 46-year-old woman, initially identified by acute pulmonary embolism, which was managed successfully with thyroid hormone and corticosteroid treatment.

This study found that distinct hair fiber structures among blue fox, mink, and otter rabbit can be used to identify and differentiate these fur types.

This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic effects of nitroxide small molecule agents for age-related macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease, but reports no new clinical results.

This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of HASHA, a new hyaluronic acid injectable, for chin augmentation in adults with chin retrusion. HASHA significantly improved chin appearance and satisfaction over 12 months compared to controls, with only mild or moderate transient adverse events.

This review highlights advancements in the cultivation and chemical analysis of Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk., including increased bioactive compounds in induced tetraploids and successful micropropagation techniques, supporting its medicinal use and production efficiency.

In this preliminary study, topical treatment with oxygen-carrying micro/nanobubbles hastened the healing of full-thickness burn wounds in a rodent model, compared to saline-treated controls.

This review discusses the potential dermatological benefits of green tea, indicating promising results but noting that the efficacy of its oral and topical uses hasn't always been confirmed.

This review provides an overview of the ethnomedicinal uses, chemical composition, and pharmacological profile of Eclipta alba Hassk and presents no new clinical findings.

This case study details a 44-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus who developed hypereosinophilic asthma and was initially treated as ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Her condition, eventually classified as HASM, underscores the need for evaluating EGPA-spectrum disorders in similar scenarios.

This abstract provides a personal reflection on Dr. Jerry Wong's contributions to hair restoration and his collaborative work with Hasson, without presenting new clinical data.

This abstract provides a narrative history of the hair restoration practice of Dr. Jerry Wong and Dr. Victor Hasson and reports no new research findings.

In this study, a significant negative correlation was observed between the 2D:4D digit ratio and maxillary sinus volume in men, suggesting an androgenic hormone influence on sinus volume development.

This study found that skin changes such as pigmentary alterations, vascular and connective tissue changes are common during pregnancy, with areola/nipple darkening and striae gravidarum frequently observed.

This study found that for anterior cervical discectomy fusion in patients with degenerative cervical disc disease, the PEEK cage resulted in greater pain reduction, while the dynamic cervical implant maintained a slightly better range of motion.

In this study, researchers evaluated trichoscopic features in 500 Egyptian patients with patchy hair loss and found specific patterns, such as perifollicular scale with 90% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity, which effectively aid in diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections significantly increased hair density and width while improving patient satisfaction in androgenic alopecia treatment without adverse effects.

This study found that exposure to heated phenyl glycidyl ether vapor caused alopecia and skin lesions in rats but not in dogs.

This retrospective study observed that while systemic lupus erythematosus patients at King Fahd Hospital in eastern Saudi Arabia had similar clinical manifestations to those in other regions, there were differences in age of onset and sex distribution.

This prospective study in Morocco reported on 20 cases of frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding that dermoscopy played a key role in diagnosing and managing the condition, which can increasingly affect premenopausal women.

This study observed that while low vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of autoimmune thyroid diseases, evidence from clinical trials on vitamin D supplementation shows inconsistent effects on thyroid function and disease progression, underscoring the need for further research.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.

This study offers genetic evidence supporting a causal relationship between thyroid dysfunction and alopecia areata, which may help in managing and treating AA patients.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.
