This study observed that transverse sectioning of scalp biopsies may aid in diagnosing different types of alopecia by revealing distinct histopathological features like follicle miniaturization and specific inflammatory patterns.

This study suggests that female pattern baldness may be a marker for increased risk of coronary artery disease events among women.

This review examines the various potential causes of bitemporal hair loss, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis to prevent further hair loss in scarring conditions; it reports no new clinical results.

This article discusses various dermatological topics from the 2020 Dermatology Nurses' Association annual meeting held online, highlighting updates on skin conditions and treatments without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that baldness and a family history of baldness are associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease in Iranian men, although baldness did not correlate with its severity.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic tool for various hair and scalp disorders, reporting no new clinical results.

This case study describes a 34-year-old male developing painful inflammatory scalp nodules post-scalp microinfusion of medication. The findings suggest that repeated microtrauma or bacterial colonization might trigger dissecting cellulitis in susceptible individuals, with exogenous testosterone as a potential modifier, not a direct cause.

In this case report, a 16-year-old female with Netherton syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, exhibited symptoms such as skin issues, hair abnormalities, and elevated serum IgE levels. The diagnosis was supported by skin biopsy, and treatment included topical therapies, NB-UVB, and infliximab.

This review discusses the role of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing various alopecia types, highlighting its ability to detect specific patterns in both scarring and non-scarring forms, thus aiding in treatment decisions and reducing biopsy necessity.

This review discusses the biologically active compounds in Maxillariinae orchids, highlighting 62 semiochemicals with medical potential, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various hair disorders by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns, such as hair diameter diversity in androgenetic alopecia and exclamatory marks in alopecia areata.

Skin symptoms could help in early COVID-19 diagnosis but more research is needed to confirm their reliability.

This article previews a Journal of Investigative Dermatology quiz on diagnosing male androgenetic alopecia and offers no new research results.

This article discusses various aspects of hair and scalp health, ancient philosophical perspectives on hair, and causes of hair disorders in children, without reporting new clinical results.

In this study, androgenetic alopecia patients exhibited more nailfold capillary abnormalities, suggesting a potential link between microcirculation issues and the condition.

This study found that topical application of FK506 stimulated hair growth in animals, which may occur independently of its immunosuppressive effects, though its effect on human hair growth remains unclear.

This article discusses systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as a complex chronic inflammatory condition with a variable clinical course, impacting multiple organs, and reports no new research findings.

In this study, minoxidil significantly downregulated interleukin-1 alpha expression in human keratinocyte cells, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect that may be a mechanism of action in treating alopecia.

This study reported that women with female androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower zinc levels in both serum and hair, and lower hair iron levels, compared to healthy controls.

This review highlights the increased cardiovascular risk associated with certain dermatologic diseases like psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa but reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the clinical manifestations and genetic basis of pigmentary mosaicism, highlighting its varied phenotypic expressions, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses ischemia-modified albumin as a potential new marker of oxidative stress in dermatological diseases but reports no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a novel missense mutation c.1360G>C (p.Ala454Pro) in the MBTPS2 gene was identified in a boy with typical IFAP syndrome and severe atopic features, although no phenotype/genotype correlation was established.

This review discusses the increased incidence of hair loss and telogen effluvium among COVID-19 patients and evaluates existing evidence for regenerative treatments like PRP and HFSCs, finding limited published data.

This study, involving an international panel of 16 psychodermatology experts, proposed a new classification system for psychodermatology disorders that aims to unify previous classifications and improve their management by systematizing disorders into two main categories: primary mental health disorders and primary skin disorders.

This article reviews the pathophysiology of hidradenitis suppurativa and suggests that a complex interplay of genetic, immunological, and biomechanical factors contributes to the condition, but presents no new clinical findings.

In this randomized controlled trial, researchers are assessing the efficacy and safety of acupoint catgut embedding combined with topical 5% minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia among 70 men, with primary outcomes focusing on changes in hair count after 24 weeks of treatment.

This review focuses on the pharmacological properties, indications, contraindications, and safety profile of bicalutamide, a non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist, in dermatological research, particularly its off-label use for improving female pattern hair loss as measured by Sinclair grading.

This report details a case where diffuse lichen planopilaris and female pattern hair loss in a 32-year-old woman mimicked diffuse alopecia areata, highlighting the diagnostic value of dermoscopy-guided biopsies and the importance of timely treatment to prevent disease progression.

This study found that electronically-operated pneumatic injections for administering a peptide-hyaluronic acid combination were well tolerated and led to significant improvement in hair density and thickness for men with androgenic alopecia over six months, though the exact mechanism remains uncertain.
