In this study, the researchers reported that early diagnosis and treatment of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution may arrest or potentially reverse disease progression, though some patients experienced continued hair loss.

This randomized pilot study suggests that finasteride may benefit some men with category IIIA chronic pelvic pain syndrome, although it is not recommended as monotherapy unless benign prostatic hyperplasia is also present.

IGF-I helps hair growth by preventing cell death and boosting growth factors.

In this study, D-OCT imaging revealed distinct structural and vascular changes in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, highlighting the technique's potential for diagnosing and monitoring the condition's activity.

In this animal study, the researchers found that DPP4 plays a crucial role in scar formation and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis in mice, impacting regenerative repair.

This study found that IGF1, retinoic acid, and dexamethasone increase IGFBP-3 production in cultured human dermal papilla cells, potentially inhibiting IGF1 action on hair growth.

This study found that in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS phenotype and oxidative stress markers were significantly related to free androgen index levels, but insulin resistance was not.

This study found that IPL treatment in females with facial hirsutism can trigger hair growth in untreated areas near those that undergo photoepilation, especially in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Isotretinoin at low doses effectively treats facial papules in frontal fibrosing alopecia.

In this case report, a female patient with Graham-Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome and hidradenitis suppurativa showed significant improvement in symptoms, including hair loss and lesions, after six months of treatment with tofacitinib, with no recurrence or adverse effects over a two-year follow-up.

This program description outlines the Fellowship Training Program's goal of developing Fellows' skills in performing safe and aesthetically sound hair restoration surgery, reporting no new research findings.

This article reviews the use of tofacitinib for rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis and alopecia areata, noting potential serious side effects, but reports no cases of palmoplantar pustulosis from the therapy.

This report describes a case of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting its distinction from other forms of lichen planopilaris and pattern hair loss.

In this case report, two patients with polyautoimmunity and difficult-to-treat lupus erythematosus experienced significant symptom improvement after adding anifrolumab to their regimen, suggesting its potential as an effective add-on therapy for refractory cutaneous symptoms in autoimmune conditions characterized by elevated interferon alpha activity.

This study involved 69 hair experts using a Delphi process to achieve consensus on treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, finding strong agreement on disease monitoring but less on physical and systemic therapies, indicating the need for more research.

In this research, RNA expression analysis of scalp biopsies from lichen planopilaris patients revealed changes in specific genes after treatments with hydroxychloroquine, narrow band UVB, or low level laser light therapy, suggesting potential biomarkers and implicating M2 macrophages in the disease's immunopathogenesis.

This case report suggests that oral finasteride, used for benign prostatic hyperplasia, may be associated with intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome during cataract surgery.

This study concluded that the platelet rich plasma injectable competency assessment tool (PICAT) demonstrated strong validity, internal consistency, and inter-rater reliability for evaluating dermatology residents at PNS Shifa Hospital.

Lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia are likely the same disease with different clinical appearances.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

This article reviews the characteristics and presentation of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution, a form of scarring alopecia similar to androgenetic alopecia and lichen planopilaris, but provides no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the implementation and mechanisms of photobiomodulation therapy in various medical fields, including ophthalmology, and reports no new clinical results.

This study shows that NIPP1 deficiency in mouse epidermis leads to hyperproliferation, hair loss, and chronic skin inflammation, which can be partially alleviated by dexamethasone treatment.
