Monitoring nutrition and health is crucial for the well-being of institutionalized mentally retarded children.

This case report suggests that patchy hair loss in a child may be an atypical sign of persistent head lice infestation.

This study reviewed the medical literature on generalized woolly hair and reported that while there are no effective treatments, some narratives suggest that topical Minoxidil may help with hypotrichosis associated with the condition.

This study found that AHCC supplementation significantly reduced alopecia severity in Ara-C treated rats and mitigated liver injury-related side effects in mice treated with 6-MP and MTX.

This study found that among mother-infant pairs during the COVID-19 pandemic, lower maternal hair cortisol concentrations during pregnancy, combined with higher levels at six weeks postpartum, were associated with poorer infant developmental outcomes at six months.

This study found that as hair loss severity increased in women with female pattern hair loss, the number of vellus follicles also rose, indicating miniaturization of terminal hair follicles.

The researchers reported that a child with epilepsy developed encephalopathy after an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, confirmed by clinical and laboratory assessments showing post-COVID19 effects.

This study highlights a case where progressive baldness initially diagnosed as alopecia universalis was attributed to a basal cell hamartoma of each hair follicle, stressing the importance of skin biopsies for unusual alopecia cases.

This case study describes a successful reconstructive treatment for a patient with a frontoparietal giant congenital melanocytic nevus, achieved through collaboration between plastic and hair restoration surgeons.

This study found that altering neonatal neurosteroid levels affected anxiety and aversive learning in adult rats, possibly through changes in hippocampal GABAergic functions.

This article presents two cases of tinea capitis in postpubertal individuals highlighting the importance of early treatment to prevent scarring and permanent hair loss; it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, paternal exposure to finasteride prior to or during pregnancy was linked to a majority of normal full-term births, although some cases resulted in abortions, aligning with previous animal study findings.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia can affect the occipital region in men with advanced stages of the condition.

Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome is a rare genetic disorder causing skin and bone changes, with some cases also showing ADHD or developmental delays.

This case report describes a 4-year-old boy with congenital alopecia characterized by complete irreversible hair loss and papular lesions associated with keratin-filled cysts.

This case report details the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 4-year-old boy, characterized by brittle hair and specific dermoscopic findings, and highlights the condition's hereditary nature and management through avoiding mechanical hair damage.

This study reviews the diverse clinical presentations of tinea capitis, such as gray patches, a "black dot" appearance, and kerion, highlighting its complex differential diagnosis with conditions like alopecia areata and psoriasis.

This case report presents a 28-year-old woman with alopecia universalis and macular dystrophy, highlighting a potential new linkage between these conditions without previously identified associated genes.

This study reported that two male patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia exhibited donor-area involvement in both the vertex and occiput, challenging the assumption of occipital stability for hair transplantation, and showed partial improvement following treatment with oral finasteride and topical minoxidil.

This case report describes an 8-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type one presenting with the rare conditions of trichothiodystrophy and retinal atrophy.

This study reported that in men with androgenic alopecia, a distinct subclinical hyperpigmentation pattern was observed in the scalp, associated with baldness severity and possibly linked to local melanin production by pilosebaceous units.

Zinc deficiency causes early scalp hair damage that recovers slower than skin symptoms.

This case report of an infant with IPEX syndrome highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment, as the patient experienced severe symptoms and succumbed before stem cell transplantation.

This article reviews monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder causing brittle hair and alopecia, and emphasizes the need for clinical diagnosis and characteristic tricoscopic findings.

This study examined scalp hair loss in children and found that most cases were acquired, with tinea capitis, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium being the leading causes.

This report highlights that trichoscopy is a useful, non-invasive tool for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, particularly in areas where lab facilities are limited.

This report presents a case of pili torti in a young girl with citrullinemia, a novel association not previously documented.

This study found that patients with severe male pattern hair loss had lower hair density in the occipital region compared to those with mild or moderate cases.

This case report describes a 10-year-old girl with monilethrix, detailing hereditary autosomal dominant traits and distinctive nodular hair shaft abnormalities observed in her family through clinical examination and microscopic analysis.
