This study reports two cases of severe alopecia areata showing seemingly permanent hair regrowth with a modified triamcinolone acetonide regimen involving epinephrine, and suggests a potential role for epinephrine in enhancing treatment efficacy.

This study demonstrated that an LC/MS-MS method could effectively detect and quantify the vitamin B3 vitamer nicotinamide in human hair, suggesting its potential use for long-term deficiency examination.

This study suggests that analyzing hair samples with a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric assay may offer a reliable method to measure average quarterly vitamin D levels, potentially complementing blood tests.

In this study, researchers observed that dietary vitamin D intake and light exposure play a crucial role in vitamin D metabolism in mice, suggesting similar importance for human health in maintaining optimal vitamin D levels.

This study found that Ficus benghalensis leaf extracts reduced the activity of 5 α-reductase II and promoted hair growth in rabbits by elongating the hair follicle's anagen phase, suggesting potential for treating hair loss.

This study observed that dupilumab led to significant hair regrowth and was well-tolerated in children with both alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis, showing promise as a safe treatment option for pediatric patients with associated atopy.

Hair transplantation can successfully treat stubborn alopecia areata.

This review discusses evidence-based guidance for managing primary cicatricial alopecias but reports no new clinical results, highlighting significant gaps in knowledge and the need for more quality trials.

This article presents a unique case of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a 3-month-old, with a hair causing bony erosion of the toe, and includes a literature review and meta-analysis.

This letter discusses the emerging use of Janus kinase inhibitors, specifically oral tofacitinib, for treating alopecia areata in children, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, three children with severe alopecia treated with systemic tofacitinib showed significant hair regrowth, suggesting it may be a potential option for those unresponsive to conventional therapy.

This review suggests that hair transplantation may be a viable treatment option for certain primary scarring alopecias, although findings should be interpreted cautiously due to possible publication bias favoring positive results.

This study found that hair transplantation using round grafts improved hair growth in African American women with end-stage CCCA, showing no postoperative scarring in the donor or recipient areas.

In this study, ustekinumab did not promote hair regrowth in human patients with alopecia areata or prevent disease development in an AA mouse model, suggesting limited efficacy for this treatment.

This report describes two cases of toe tourniquet syndrome in infants, highlighting the importance for pediatric orthopedic practitioners to diagnose and manage it promptly, suggesting a specific incision method to release hair strangulation if removal is challenging.

This article discusses platelet-rich plasma therapy for cicatricial alopecias like lichen planopilaris and reports no confirmed new clinical results; the authors highlight ongoing uncertainty about its effectiveness and potential risks.

This review provides an updated overview of the symptomatology, diagnosis, trichoscopy findings, and treatment options for eyebrow and eyelash alopecia, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses primary cicatricial alopecias, detailing their classification, pathogenesis, clinical features, histopathologic findings, and treatment, without reporting new experimental results.

This review explores the efficacy and safety of treatments for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, revealing a predominance of case reports and series, and concludes that randomized controlled trials are needed for better evidence-based therapies.

This review article highlights the complexity of treating folliculitis decalvans, emphasizing the role of systemic antibiotics like rifampicin and clindamycin as common treatments, while also discussing promising novel therapies, including biological agents, that require further clinical trials to assess their effectiveness and safety.
