A girl's severely tangled hair couldn't be fixed and had to be cut due to a rare condition called plica neuropathica.

In this clinical case report, a 10-year-old girl developed acute hair matting three weeks after scalp trauma and frequent povidone-iodine use, suggesting that scalp injuries and antiseptic overuse can be risk factors for this condition, especially when hair care is poor.

This study presented a refined surgical protocol for a fetal mouse model that improves pregnancy success, reduces fetal loss, and allows for consistent phenotypic outcomes, enhancing research in scarless skin regeneration.

This study reported significant moderate-to-severe complications in two patients following synthetic hair fiber implantation, including recurrent infections, scalp issues, and granulomatous reactions, which were only resolved once the fibers were removed despite initial treatment attempts with antibiotics.

Hair damage shows as fragility, dullness, and discoloration, varies by ethnicity, and is worsened by cosmetic procedures and diseases.

This case report described a woman who developed hair matting and traction alopecia after using a homemade shampoo with Hibiscus rosasiensis leaves, which was mitigated by cutting the matted hair.

This case report describes a unique occurrence of plica polonica in a lung adenocarcinoma patient on chemotherapy, linked to anagen effluvium from paclitaxel and carboplatin and uncustomary shampoo use.

This case study reports that sudden hair matting occurred in a patient after using coconut and castor oils on long hair, requiring the hair to be cut off due to irreversible felting.

This report documents the first outbreak of a mixed infection of camelpox and dermatophilosis in camels in Iraq, highlighting the need for further study due to the novelty of dermatophilosis in the region.

This case report describes a 16-year-old girl who developed Plica Polonica, a rare hair matting disorder, after using a homeopathic antidandruff shampoo, highlighting a potential link between shampoo use and the condition.

This report describes a sudden hair matting incident after shampooing a hairpiece and suggests that weathered hairs might explain this unusual event.

This paper reviews plica polonica, a rare hair disorder linked historically to poor hygiene and now to severe self-neglect or medical conditions, and outlines various treatment and preventive strategies but reports no new findings.

This article describes two cases of plica neuropathica, a rare hair condition involving severe matting, and discusses possible contributing factors and diagnosis methods while reporting no new scientific results.

This case report describes a 50-year-old Kashmiri woman with plica polonica, detailing trichoscopic findings of entangled hair with crisscrossing shafts and concretions.

This study investigated the Mandarin duck as a model for understanding lifelong developmental changes, finding that male sail feather morphogenesis involves a combination of local morphogenetic programs, epigenetic regulation, and hormonal cues, with increased female estrogen levels observed before the mating season.

In this case report, treatment with antibiotics, finasteride, and prostate omentalization restored fertility in a 6-year-old German Shepherd with prostatitis and astenoteratozoospermia, avoiding surgical castration.

This review discusses the effects of protein-based cosmetics on hair properties and reports no new research findings, suggesting potential benefits for developing advanced, sustainable hair products.

Hair extensions can cause hair loss and scalp damage, and these problems might be more common than people realize.

This case report describes a unique instance of plica neuropathica in a 14-year-old girl linked to chronic illness and acute infection, leading to complete hair loss.

In this case report, researchers observed that a 47-year-old woman developed pityriasis amiantacea after using topical minoxidil, suggesting a potential new etiology for this scalp condition.

The authors describe a case of pityriasis amiantacea in a woman following bone marrow transplantation, potentially linked to melphalan conditioning, which responded to treatment with mineral oil and specific shampoos.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

This case report detailed two instances of plica polonica, an acquired hair matte condition, attributing it to factors like drug effects and hair care neglect, but emphasized not labeling affected patients as unable to self-care.

This study found that introducing rat ornithine transcarbamylase gene into spf-ash mice improved liver and intestinal enzyme activity and normalized some metabolic indicators.

This study assessed genetic variability and combining ability in winter squash for various traits related to yield and plant architecture, finding significant variability in eight traits and highlighting specific parents and hybrid combinations as promising for breeding programs focused on oil production.

This study found that a young male Maine Coon cat with a tortoiseshell coat, which typically indicates unusual sex chromosomes, was fertile, carrying both XX and XY cell lines. The researchers recommend genetic testing for tri-colored male cats before breeding decisions.

This study describes the characteristics and potential research applications of the first hairless guinea pigs in Iran, noting their suitability for allergy, dermal, transplantation, and immunology studies.
