This review discusses various environmental and chemical factors that contribute to hair shaft disorders, such as fractures, and highlights the potential roles of cysteine and glutamine in hair health, but reports no new results.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata were more likely to experience hearing loss compared to healthy individuals, potentially due to damage to follicular melanocytes involved in the autoimmune process.

This case report describes a young adult with primary follicular mucinosis, successfully treated with topical tacrolimus, resulting in resolution without sequelae.

This study found that while hair washed with hard water had higher magnesium deposits, it did not show significant structural surface changes compared to hair washed with soft water.

This study analyzed trichoscopic features of discoid lupus erythematosus on the scalp in skin of color and found distinct patterns based on clinical morphology.

In this study, researchers found significant associations between trichoscopic features and the severity of androgenetic alopecia in Korean participants, suggesting trichoscopy as a useful tool for early detection and monitoring by identifying indicators like vellus hairs and follicular unit changes.

This study found that while alopecia areata was not significantly associated with metabolic syndrome, patients showed higher blood pressure and fasting blood sugar levels, suggesting a potential increased risk of future metabolic disorders.

This study among medical students at Kathmandu Medical College reported that hair loss was not commonly observed, and there was no significant association between stress and hair fall. However, male students had higher odds of experiencing hair loss compared to females.

This study describes vitiligo as an autoimmune disease marked by depigmented skin and mucosal patches, and reviews its complex pathogenesis and diagnostic features.

This study found that three months of using topical 5% minoxidil significantly improved hair count and shaft thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its effectiveness and safety despite varied response levels among the subjects.

In this randomized study, intradermal injections of dutasteride effectively improved androgenetic alopecia in 15 male patients, showing significant clinical improvement within one month and being well-tolerated without notable side effects, though the improvement was negatively correlated with longer disease duration.

This study suggests that metformin's ability to enhance insulin sensitivity may improve acanthosis nigricans by addressing the underlying insulin resistance.
