This case report describes a high school wrestler whose forearm rash was initially misdiagnosed as eczema, later identified as Majocchi's granuloma, and successfully treated with oral antifungal therapy after a biopsy.

This study observed that grey patch is the most common variant of tinea capitis in northeastern India, with T. violaceum being the predominant fungal isolate.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This case study describes a 14-year-old girl with pili annulati who had fragile hair, which may be due to cavities within the hair shafts as seen in electron microscopic examinations.

This article discusses temporal triangular alopecia, emphasizing the need for increased awareness to prevent misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment, but reports no new clinical results.

This report describes a rare case of Trichophyton violaceum infection with conidia formation in a young boy, likely contracted in Dalian, China, and documents a method for visualizing conidia formation.

This review explores platelet-rich plasma's role in wound healing and discusses its potential as a broadly applicable therapeutic option, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this report, two adult cases of tinea capitis with unusual symptoms like pustules and non-scarring alopecia were diagnosed based on clinical and pathological findings, and successfully treated with oral Griseofulvin and topical luliconazole cream.

This case report describes successful treatment of a four-year-old boy with kerion-type tinea capitis caused by T. mentagrophytes using griseofulvin, erythromycin, wet dressing, and ketokonazole shampoo, with improvement after 8 weeks.

This review outlines a systematic method for diagnosing hair loss and presents no new findings; the authors emphasize the importance of biopsy in cicatricial alopecia cases.

This paper critically reviews recent advances in the use of keratin-based biomaterials, highlighting their potential applications in wound healing, drug delivery, and tissue regeneration due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to support cell growth.

This review highlights the importance of standardizing pre-analytical procedures for collecting and extracting samples from uncommon biological specimens like breast milk and sweat in clinical metabolomics, to enhance diagnostic and biomarker discovery efforts while minimizing contamination and bias.

This article describes a protocol for using bioengineered techniques to regenerate functional hair follicles and their stem cell niches by manipulating epithelial and mesenchymal cells.

In this case report, a 2-month-old girl with tinea capitis showed significant improvement after treatment with oral griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole. The study emphasizes the importance of layered diagnostics and systemic therapy for effective management of this fungal scalp infection in infants.

This case report highlights tinea faciei as a potential diagnosis for vesicular lesions in neonates, suggesting its consideration over more invasive diagnostics for similar presentations.

This review analyzed 19 studies and found that platelet-rich plasma generally led to successful hair growth in patients with alopecia, particularly suggesting 3 to 4 monthly treatment sessions.

This review discusses rodent models of human hair loss and highlights the potential of traditional medicinal plants as hair growth promoters, but reports no new clinical results.

This study prepared herbal hair oil using ingredients like coconut oil, amla, neem, hibiscus, and onion, and reported that the formulations exhibit anti-hairfall properties along with benefits like antidandruff activity, improved scalp circulation, and reduced hair whitening compared to synthetic alternatives.

This study found that a herbal hair oil prepared using raw herbs in coconut oil may effectively address dandruff and hair fall, attributed to its components like saponins and antioxidants that enhance hair health.

This study identified peripheral myeloid cells as the earliest dysregulated immune cells in PINK1 KO mice with Parkinson’s-like symptoms following intestinal infections, suggesting that PINK1 regulates gut immune functions linked to early Parkinson’s disease mechanisms.

Hair testing is a reliable method for detecting workplace drug use when done with proper sample preparation and confirmation.

This research reports that onychomycosis, a common nail fungal infection often caused by Candida yeast, requires laboratory testing like direct preparations, fungal cultures, and molecular tests for accurate diagnosis due to its diverse etiology and differential diagnosis, improving therapy effectiveness and efficiency.

This review examines the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma for treating hair loss, highlighting the lack of standardized protocols for PRP preparation and delivery and reporting no new clinical results.

This research focused on formulating finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil with cyclodextrins to enhance their solubility and skin penetration for topical use, potentially reducing scalp irritation from current alcohol-based preparations.

In this study, researchers developed a new method called Enriched-GF, which enhances growth factor recovery from platelet concentrates through a combination of glass bead activation, freeze-thaw cycling, and calcium stimulation, outperforming conventional methods by providing higher and more consistent yields for regenerative medicine applications.

This review examines quality control in preparing platelet-rich plasma, highlighting knowledge gaps in its clinical efficacy and safety, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that human platelet lysate, prepared from expired platelet concentrate, maintained stable growth factor levels for up to six months and improved healing in second-degree burn wounds compared to standard silver sulfadiazine treatment at three weeks.

In this case series, five pediatric patients with tinea capitis showed varied clinical presentations, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and prompt systemic antifungal therapy to prevent permanent outcomes such as alopecia and scarring.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.
