This review discusses current surgical approaches to brow aesthetics and finds no clear evidence that open brow lifts are inferior to endoscopic techniques, highlighting a lack of comparative studies.

This review outlines the historical and ongoing evolution in understanding and treating alopecia areata, highlighting current research frontiers in genetics, immune mechanisms, and potential new treatments, but reports no new results.

Using a vibrating device during injections can help reduce pain.

This case report describes a patient with eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome who experienced severe, persistent telogen effluvium.

This study found that trichoscopy was useful in diagnosing different types of alopecia, with specific trichoscopic features aiding in the differential diagnosis.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata face challenges like medical uncertainty and lack of information, highlighting the need for reliable and accessible treatment information that aligns with their preferences.

In this study, researchers observed the patterns of hair distribution and scalp anatomy in Chinese young adult males, finding significant variations in hairline shape, hair density, and follicular unit structure.

Contact dermatitis may speed up hair loss in some cases.

The study found that for positive-node breast cancer patients aged 50 and older, adding chemotherapy to tamoxifen significantly improved disease-free survival compared to tamoxifen alone.

Mice with extra sheep genes had hair that fell out and regrew in cycles.

Diazoxide, minoxidil sulphate, and cromakalim relax rat blood vessels by opening K+ channels, with some differences in their actions.

This study found that concentrations of haloperidol and its metabolite in human scalp hair significantly correlated with the daily dose and plasma trough levels in patients taking haloperidol.

In this study, albendazole treatment in patients with hydatid disease was associated with decreased microsomal enzyme function and induced its own metabolism, but also showed potential hepatotoxicity and severe side effects, necessitating careful monitoring.

In this animal study, topical minoxidil shortened the telogen phase of hair growth cycles in rats, suggesting it may stimulate certain follicles to progress more rapidly to anagen.

This study found that dermal papilla cells in culture may enhance and attract follicular epithelial cell growth, suggesting their pivotal role in hair and follicle development.

This study found that coadministering minoxidil with tretinoin cream increased minoxidil absorption nearly threefold in healthy males, attributed to increased stratum corneum permeability.

This study reviewed tinea capitis cases in children at a dermatology clinic from 1977-1988, finding Trichophyton violaceum as the most common pathogen, with Moroccan immigrant children being the largest affected group.

This study observed that hair casts, seen in girls with tightly drawn hairstyles, may result from local circulatory disturbances and scalp inflammation.

Minoxidil affects rat fluid dynamics, altering pressure and circulation, improving blood flow and hair growth.

This study observed abnormal extracellular matrix patterns in hair follicles from alopecia areata patients, particularly in the dermal papilla of large anagen follicles and in catagen follicles from lesional sites.

This review discusses the potential for new retinoids, topical antiandrogens, and alternative therapies to surpass tretinoin in treating cutaneous aging, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that girls with prepubertal simple hypertrichosis had significantly higher plasma levels of dihydrotestosterone compared to controls, which does not align with other androgen markers and warrants further investigation.

This animal study observed that while topical MBEH and intraperitoneal phenol induced hair graying in eumelanic mice, they had little effect on pheomelanic mice, and amcinonide reduced certain epidermal melanocytes in both.

Dermatologic surgery has greatly improved with new techniques over the years.

This study successfully developed a method to culture human hair follicle cells without a biological feeder layer, maintaining cell differentiation for a month.

This review highlights that pharmacologic therapy for hirsutism can effectively decrease hair growth, normalize menstrual cycles, and reduce endometrial cancer risk, with improvements in physical and mental well-being and minimal serious side effects reported.

This study resulted in a draft version of the Patient‐Reported Impact of Dermatological Diseases measure, PRIDD, which includes 27 items refined from patient consensus and is now undergoing psychometric testing.

This article reports no new findings; it discusses metastasis of an untreated thin melanoma in a very elderly patient.

This case report detailed a rare diagnosis of Rapunzel syndrome, where intussusception in a young girl was caused by trichobezoars linked to undiagnosed trichotillomania and trichophagia.
