Wearing a hijab doesn't cause hair loss, but how it's worn can lead to hair issues, and many affected women don't seek medical help.

This case report highlights that improper application techniques, such as scalp occlusion, can increase systemic absorption of minoxidil and lead to unwanted side effects like hypertrichosis.

Alopecia areata incognito in children can be effectively treated with triamcinolone acetonide and supplements, leading to full hair regrowth.

This abstract provides background information on alopecia areata, describing it as an autoimmune condition leading to non-scarring, patchy hair loss but does not report specific study results.

Paclitaxel chemotherapy causes premature aging and damage to hair follicles, potentially leading to permanent hair loss.

This literature review highlights recent findings that cosmetic procedures like face lifts and hyaluronic acid fillers can occasionally lead to hair loss as a rare complication.

This review supports iron deficiency anemia as a valid cause of chronic generalized pruritus and suggests potential mechanisms by which iron deficiency may lead to pruritus, but reports no new clinical results.

This research found that heavy metal concentrations of arsenic, lead, cadmium, and iron were significantly higher in human hair samples from 100 years ago compared to today's levels in southern Poland, with a median decrease of 69–95%.

This review examines the hormonal causes of hair loss, noting how androgen excess can lead to follicle miniaturization and linking estrogen deficiency and thyroid dysfunction to common alopecia types. It further discusses hormonal treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, and spironolactone.

This study discusses zinc's vital role in skin cell growth and how its deficiency can lead to acrodermatitis enteropathica, marked by symptoms like alopecia and dermatitis. It notes that similar symptoms appear in people with certain metabolic conditions, referred to as acrodermatitis dysmetabolica.

This historical overview commemorates Grzegorz Józef Wojciech Ziembicki, a pioneering surgical leader at Lviv General Hospital, highlighting his contributions to surgical education, innovative procedures, and anesthesia practices during his tenure from 1882 to 1915.

In this study, researchers identified a novel genetic variant in the NR3C1 gene in a mother and her son that predicts a truncated protein, leading to glucocorticoid resistance syndrome with mild hyperandrogenic features, although no clear genotype-phenotype correlation has been established.

This source highlights that arsenic exposure through contaminated groundwater is a significant global health risk, leading to skin and hair conditions such as pigmentation changes, skin irritation, alopecia, and can eventually result in skin cancer.

In this review, researchers reported that post-COVID-19 syndrome may lead to significant sequelae like hair loss, potentially due to acute telogen effluvium, affecting around 20% of patients and impacting their quality of life, though specific studies on this relationship are lacking.

Hair follicle stem cells and mitochondria are key for hair growth, and targeting their activity could lead to new hair loss treatments.

This editorial highlights recent progress in understanding chronic inflammatory skin diseases, leading to new treatments like JAK inhibitors for eczema and psoriasis, while emphasizing the journal's call for research on skin biology and aging.

Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder may show different symptoms than boys, leading to missed or delayed diagnoses.

This study found that the KrasG12D mutation alters ERK signal dynamics in hair follicle stem cells, leading to tissue deformation, and suggests a collective effect of mutant cells is necessary for disruption.

This case report highlights that uncommon ovarian tumors like sclerosal stromal tumors can cause hirsutism and virilization in postmenopausal women and lead to androgen secretion, despite typically being hormonally inactive.

This study reports that despite rescuing neurulation and skin barrier defects, Grhl3 gene overexpression in mice leads to hearing impairment, hair loss, and other developmental abnormalities, highlighting low tolerance for Grhl3 dysregulation.

This study highlights that stress-induced activation of the HPA axis in human hair follicles can lead to hair growth arrest, but variability in follicle response complicates potential therapeutic approaches.

Modern society values both traditional beauty and imperfections, but media pressures lead to more cosmetic enhancements and ethical concerns.

This study observed that the proportion of female authorship, including lead authors, in top dermatology journals increased from 2018 to 2020, despite potential COVID-19 impacts, while female senior authorship rates still reflect gender disparity in senior positions.

This study found that laparoscopic ovarian drilling significantly improved hormone levels and menstrual irregularity, leading to increased ovulation and a pregnancy rate of 26% among women with PCOS-related infertility.

This dissertation describes using skull bone for upper jaw reconstruction, leading to less pain and the possibility of immediate implant placement compared to traditional methods.

This study found that bovine slick mutations may enhance heat stress responses in mice but do not lead to the expected hair phenotype changes.

This review highlights the potential analytic interference of high-dose biotin with immunochemical tests, which may lead to diagnostic errors and suggests pausing biotin consumption before laboratory testing.

This study suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction might contribute to the pathogenesis of Lichen planopilaris by triggering a metabolic shift that leads to chronic inflammation and hair follicle damage.

This case report describes a 10-year-old Shih Tzu diagnosed with hyperadrenocorticism, leading to the management of skin issues which initially improved but was followed by neurological symptoms, prompting euthanasia.

This study identified that dominant mutations in the KLHL24 gene cause epidermolysis bullosa through dysregulated autoubiquitination, leading to excessive degradation of keratin 14.
