This case report describes a 7-year-old girl who developed radiation-induced alopecia after a neurointerventional procedure, with dermoscopy revealing specific hair and scalp patterns that helped diagnose this rare complication. The findings highlight the importance of dermoscopy in distinguishing RIA from other alopecic disorders in children.

This study shows that inhibiting anti-apoptotic proteins BCL-W and BCL-XL can specifically induce apoptosis in senescent cells, suggesting a potential strategy for treating age-related pathologies.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma was more effective for treating alopecia areata than topical 5% minoxidil, leading to earlier hair regrowth and reduction in hair abnormalities.

This case report discusses an instance of cystitis caused by the chemotherapy drug Cytoxan, with no new findings reported.

This review discusses the increasing reports of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a form of scarring alopecia, and its potential link to autoimmune disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that diffuse and pseudo-fringe sign patterns are common in Asian patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, and that treatments combining antiandrogens or antimalarials with topical therapy are effective.

This study found that a higher potassium diet in lysine-deficient rats partially protected against hair loss and increased liver fat, suggesting these rats require more potassium.

This literature review suggests that fractional laser therapies may positively impact hair regrowth in androgenic alopecia, though current evidence is mostly limited to small studies and case reports, highlighting a need for more comprehensive randomized controlled trials to confirm their efficacy and safety.

This case report describes a 10-year-old British Shorthair cat with lethargy, weight loss, alopecia, and spontaneous pruritus, revealing severe skin changes upon examination.

In this study, the elimination of NG2+ hair follicle stem cells during the anagen phase was associated with an aggravated sensitization phase of allergic contact dermatitis, suggesting their immunosuppressive role.

The researchers observed that in cases of alopecia areata with atypical features, histopathological confirmation may be necessary, as trichoscopic clues like loss of follicle ostia and vellus hairs were common, while typical features such as exclamation mark hairs were not always present.

This case report details a rare large epidermal cyst over the sacrumcoccygeal region in an elderly patient, which was successfully removed surgically.

This study found that clinical examination is effective for diagnosing certain non-scarring hair loss types in women, although histopathologic studies are necessary for exact diagnoses, and laboratory tests did not correlate well with clinical findings.

This review discusses different types of hair loss in women and suggests that addressing underlying health issues or stopping trigger medications can restore hair growth without additional intervention, but it reports no new results.

This study reviewed and reclassified 37 cases of primary scarring alopecia using histological methods to achieve more accurate diagnoses within subtypes like lupus erythematosus and lichen planopilaris.

This study suggests that corkscrew hairs in tinea capitis result from internal hair damage by Trichophyton violaceum and external resistance from scalp scales.

This review outlines key considerations for designing fluorescence microscopy experiments in cell biology, discussing the importance of hardware availability, suitability of biological models, and imaging agents to achieve high-resolution and informative images.

This study identified distinct microscopic characteristics of acne scars, including inflammatory infiltrates and insufficient collagen deposition, suggesting that treatment should consider these histopathological findings and employ combination therapy.

This study found that sonography and electron microscopy revealed distinct abnormalities in hair follicle morphology in patients with androgenetic alopecia, which may aid in diagnosing and managing the condition.

This study found that the expression of laminin-511 and -332 was significantly increased in psoriasis skin lesions and may influence keratinocyte proliferation and apoptosis, suggesting a previously overlooked role in the disease's pathogenesis.

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 article discusses the complexities in diagnosing hair shaft disorders and the potential insights hair microscopy can provide, without reporting new clinical findings.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

This review discusses the role of scalp imaging techniques in trichology for researching drug delivery and toxicology, without presenting new clinical results.

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.

This case report describes a high school wrestler whose forearm rash was initially misdiagnosed as eczema, later identified as Majocchi's granuloma, and successfully treated with oral antifungal therapy after a biopsy.

This study found that despite chemical differences, five different brands of reconstructive hair fibers all provided successful cosmetic results in disguising hair loss in patients.

This study investigated the histogenetic relationship between basal cell carcinoma and hair follicles, revealing specific staining patterns of a monoclonal antibody in different skin tissues.

This article discusses the role of clinical observation and microscopic correlation in American dermatology training and reports no new clinical results.
