This report identified longitudinal grooves in the hair shafts of four children, diagnosing them with uncombable-hair syndrome.

This article describes the first documented case of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.

A 4-year-old girl had a rare hair disorder affecting only part of her scalp.

Uncombable hair syndrome causes dry, frizzy hair that can't be combed flat, seen in a young child.

This case report described two siblings with uncombable hair syndrome characterized by unique hair features, and identified a new pathogenic variant in the PADI3 gene (c.1374dup; p. Val459ArgfsTer15) not previously documented.

A young boy's uncombable hair is due to a rare genetic condition that usually improves over time.

In this case report, a 35-month-old girl with loose anagen hair syndrome experienced spontaneous resolution and hair regrowth within 24 months.

This study reported three related cases of woolly hair syndrome transmitted as a dominant autosomal trait, characterized by fine, frizzy hair and general hair thinning.

This study reports the first cases of loose anagen hair syndrome in dark-skinned children from Upper Egypt, noting it may be under-diagnosed and primarily causes cosmetic concerns without affecting general health.

This chapter reviews disorders of skin appendages including miliaria, acne, and alopecia, providing guidance on management and treatment but does not present new clinical findings.

This case report highlights a rare presentation of hair-thread tourniquet syndrome in a two-year-old child, emphasizing that prompt identification and removal of the constricting fiber is crucial for successful treatment and prevention of tissue damage.

This study reports that a single intradermal injection of autologous adipose-derived stem cells improved visible aging signs such as wrinkles and pore size on facial skin for over a year in eight patients, with in vitro data suggesting muscle involvement in the rejuvenation process.

In this study, a 3-year-old Japanese child with autosomal recessive woolly hair was found to have a distinctive irregular and rough cuticle on the hair shaft, along with a homozygous pathogenic LIPH variant, suggesting a critical role for genetic analysis in understanding rare hair conditions.

This letter to the editor describes a case of acquired progressive kinking of the hair in a Korean female adolescent, but no new research findings are reported.

This article discusses central trichoptilosis with onycholysis but provides no new clinical results.

This study identified Activin A and its antagonist follistatin as crucial regulators of hair cell differentiation in mice, suggesting a local gradient of Activin A influences auditory sensory epithelium development.

The document concludes that treatments like oral anti-androgens, minoxidil, and topical spironolactone can be effective for hair loss in men and women.

Topical spironolactone effectively treats hair loss in women.

This case study found that a 7-year-old girl's crystalline cataract had sulfur-containing amino acids likely cystine, and was associated with abnormal hair conditions.

This retrospective review of hair samples from pediatric patients indicated that microscopic hair examination might be a useful first-line investigation for diagnosing various genetic conditions.

In this study, individuals with a c.1072C > T mutation in the EDAR gene showed more hair shaft deformations compared to non-mutation carriers, highlighting EDAR's role in hair follicle development.

Different nail disorders are treated by targeting their specific causes and using appropriate medications or protective measures.

This report describes two cases of toe tourniquet syndrome in infants, highlighting the importance for pediatric orthopedic practitioners to diagnose and manage it promptly, suggesting a specific incision method to release hair strangulation if removal is challenging.

This article illustrates various hair shaft defects and suggests that dermatologists can diagnose most of them using light microscopy and polarization without needing advanced imaging techniques.

This case report observed that after 6 months of treatment with topical cetirizine and oral vitamin D, hair density and quality improved in three girls with congenital hypotrichosis due to ectodermal dysplasia.

This study at B.J. Medical College and Civil Hospital highlighted an extensive range of nail disorders, with onychomycosis being the most common, and emphasized the importance of nails in diagnosing both dermatological and systemic conditions.

This case report diagnosed an 8-year-old girl with trachyonychia and secondary onychomycosis, finding that spontaneous improvement is common, making specific therapy often unnecessary despite treatment challenges with associated fungal infections.

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

This study found that testosterone treatment in older hypogonadal men caused minor improvements in depressive symptoms and visuospatial memory, but overall, major cognitive benefits were not observed.
