In this study conducted at the Vitebsk Regional Clinical Center, digital video microscopy without biopsy effectively identified diagnostic criteria for non-scarring alopecia in 315 patients, allowing for the prescription of appropriate treatments for alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia.

This study highlights that dermoscopy is an essential, non-invasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring alopecia areata, with various dermoscopic patterns associated with disease severity and activity, but also emphasizes the need for improved topical therapies and standardized criteria, especially for diverse populations.

This article reviews optical coherence tomography for skin imaging and its potential clinical uses, but does not include new clinical findings.

This study found that trichoscopy, a non-invasive diagnostic method, may effectively differentiate between types of focal alopecia in the parietal area in adult women, indicating specific trichoscopic features for conditions like alopecia areata, discoid lupus erythematosus, and lichen planopilaris.

This case report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

In this case study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, enabling early detection and intervention to prevent disease progression and reduce the need for invasive procedures.

This study identified specific reflectance confocal microscopy features that help differentiate scarring from non-scarring alopecia, providing a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

This study found that videodermoscopy is a promising non-invasive tool for distinguishing between types of non-scarring alopecia on the scalp, highlighting its potential in dermatological practice.

This study found that optical coherence tomography provides highly reproducible and less variable measurements of hair shaft thickness compared to standard light microscopy, offering a promising noninvasive tool for clinical practice.

This article discusses the trichoscopic diagnosis of temporal triangular alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be a valuable non-invasive tool for diagnosing scalp lesions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing the need for scalp biopsies by identifying specific trichoscopic features associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia areata.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

This review highlights that recent advancements in diagnostics and therapies, including AI-enhanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and novel treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil and JAK inhibitors, are improving the precision and customization of hair loss management.

This study found that trichoscopy is an effective noninvasive technique for diagnosing frontal fibrosing alopecia, confirming its valuable role alongside traditional histopathological examination.

In this study, trichoscopy was found to be an effective noninvasive tool for diagnosing female pattern hair loss at early stages, potentially eliminating the need for scalp biopsies.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

This review updates on various methods for hair and scalp examination, encompassing non-invasive, semi-invasive, and invasive techniques, and reports no new results.

In this study, trichoscopy was identified as a valuable diagnostic tool for alopecia areata, revealing that specific hair features like yellow dots and short vellus hairs help assess disease activity and phase, with diagnosis relying on multiple combined signs rather than a single indicator.

This narrative review discusses the evolution and diverse medical applications of laser technologies, particularly in dermatology and skin biology, without reporting new research findings.

This study suggests that RCM may be a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for alopecia areata incognita, showing substantial agreement with histopathology while noting some discrepancies.

This case study found that multiparametric ultrasound can be an effective non-invasive diagnostic tool for evaluating scalp changes in alopecia areata following repeated corticosteroid injections, potentially offering an alternative to biopsy.

This review discusses how trichoscopy is becoming a preferred non-invasive diagnostic tool over trichograms for evaluating hair disorders, although it reports no clinical results.

This review discusses diagnostic tools for scarring alopecias, emphasizing trichoscopy as a low-cost, non-invasive method for more accurate diagnosis, although it reports no new clinical results.

The authors concluded that dermoscopy is a useful tool in diagnosing different types of hair loss and scalp conditions.

In this study, researchers found a positive correlation between trichoscopic features and histomorphological findings, supporting trichoscopy as a valuable tool for assessing androgenetic alopecia severity and monitoring treatment outcomes.

This study found that trichoscopy was 73.77% concordant with histopathology in diagnosing patchy alopecia, highlighting its usefulness as a diagnostic tool for conditions like alopecia areata, lichen planus pigmentosus, and discoid lupus erythematosus.

This case report highlights how trichoscopy enabled the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia in a woman experiencing diffuse hair loss, emphasizing its utility as a diagnostic tool.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.
