This article discusses the use of dermoscopy for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders in children and reports no new clinical results.

This case report suggests that nonsynchronized segmented heterochromia in black scalp hair in a 14-year-old girl may represent premature greying unrelated to deficiencies in iron, copper, zinc, or protein.

This case study reports the first documented instance of kerion Celsi in a child caused by Microsporum gypseum, likely transmitted from a guinea pig, with remission observed following combination therapy.

This article highlights that a low suspicion for tinea capitis in adults with scaling and hair loss may delay diagnosis and treatment, urging confirmation through KOH, fungal culture, or biopsy.

This abstract reviews published cases indicating a potential association between alopecia areata and Down syndrome, with no new clinical results.

This report describes a rare case of hair and nail ectodermal dysplasia in a 3-year-old girl, where treatment with topical minoxidil resulted in minimal improvement after 12 months.

This article presents a discussion on alopecia areata in infants and concludes that the condition's occurrence in this age group is not as rare as previously thought; it offers no new data.

This study found that finasteride treatment in adult hamsters led to significant testicular alterations and reduced spermatogenesis compared to untreated controls.

This study found that prenatal exposure to finasteride in rats led to permanent changes in developmental endpoints like anogenital distance and nipple retention, which were predictive of further reproductive tract malformations.

This report describes two cases of tinea capitis: one resistant to local iodine treatment after partial improvement, and another cured with the same treatment, in African American and Caucasian children, respectively.

In this case study, a 3-year-old with tinea capitis achieved complete resolution following treatment, highlighting hair salons as potential indirect transmission sites for infection and emphasizing trichoscopy's diagnostic value when traditional signs like Wood’s lamp fluorescence are missing.

In this study, pediatric hair and scalp disorders were effectively diagnosed using trichoscopic and light microscopic examinations, demonstrating high agreement with clinical diagnoses and emphasizing their utility as reliable, non-invasive diagnostic tools in a hospital-based setting.

This study found that the progression of fetal skin development, marked by key features like the appearance of hair follicles and eccrine sweat glands, can help determine fetal age and predict congenital skin diseases.

This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of pityriasis rubra pilaris and reports no new clinical results.

This study reported a 15% prevalence of tinea capitis among primary school children in Hyderabad, with various dermatophyte species identified as causative agents.

This report of three adult cases highlights the need for careful examination for tinea capitis, which is rare in nonimmunocompromised adults, yet possible due to asymptomatic carriers.

This case report describes a woman with an unusual presentation of tinea capitis, noting diagnostic challenges as initial examinations found no mycelium or spores.

In this study, Kerion Celsi, a deep fungal scalp infection, is highlighted as being rare in neonates but more common in children over 3 years, requiring medical treatment with antifungals and antibiotics to prevent scarring alopecia and distinguish it from bacterial infections.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

This study observed that dietary intake of glucoraphanin during juvenile and adolescent stages prevented cognitive deficits and abnormal gene expressions in the brain of adult offspring exposed to maternal immune activation, potentially implicating centrosome-related genes in the development of psychosis.

This study observed that numerical chromosomal aberrations were more common in men with severe male factor infertility and azoospermia compared to those with other sperm quality issues, while chromosomal translocations were significantly associated with oligoasthenozoospermia, highlighting important genetic counseling considerations.

This case report describes a 1-month-old male infant with Netherton syndrome, characterized by severe hypernatremia, skin and scalp issues, highlighting the syndrome's complications, including growth retardation and infection risks in early life.
