This article reports increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in the occipital hair follicles of men with androgenetic alopecia but presents no clinical results.

This study found that hair follicles on the anterior scalp may be more vulnerable to acute telogen effluvium than those on the occipital scalp.

Male pattern hair loss affects about one-third of men aged 18-49 years in the United States.

This study found that 23.8% of participants with pattern hair loss had occipital involvement, with higher rates in females (35.6%) compared to males with early-stage hair loss (12.1%), illustrating significant gender differences in hair loss progression.

This review discusses atypical presentations of Brauer nevus, particularly in occipital and mid-frontal areas, and reports a higher occurrence in males, with detection usually at birth.

This study reviewed cases of ocular adverse events linked to minoxidil use, finding central serous chorioretinopathy as the most common issue, with symptoms improving after discontinuation in many cases, yet causality remains uncertain.

The occipital scalp is affected in advanced hair loss, so it shouldn't be used as a control.

In this study, researchers developed a polyherbal antidandruff shampoo using medicinal plant extracts and found it exhibited significant antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, including activity against bacteria and fungi linked to scalp infections, suggesting it as a natural alternative to synthetic shampoos.

This study found that the polyherbal anti-dandruff shampoo formulated from medicinal plants like Azadirachta indica and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis demonstrated significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, including effects against dandruff-causing microorganisms, suggesting it could be a natural alternative to synthetic shampoos.

In this study, researchers analyzed English primary care data and found that long-COVID symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive, and mobility impairments persisted at 6–12 months after infection, though these effects were generally less pronounced following the later pandemic wave.

This study found that ursolic acid at 50 mg/kg improved biochemical, hormonal, and ovarian histopathological markers in a rat model of PCOS, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option.

This scoping review explores the occupational impact of alopecia areata, highlighting its influence on various aspects of life and suggesting a role for occupational therapists in supporting individuals with the condition.

In this case study, a neutered British Shorthair cat with diabetes mellitus showed fast remission of facial skin issues using off-label oclacitinib, with no recurrence for 17 months, but required surgery for eyelid cicatrization.

In this case report, a woman with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis on long-term Ocrelizumab developed alopecia areata years after treatment initiation, suggesting a need for further study of Ocrelizumab's long-term safety profile.

This study found that OCT4-overexpressing human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells show promise for artificial hematopoiesis by enhancing self-renewal through cytoskeletal remodeling and the beta-catenin-dependent adherens junction pathway.

This study examined hair follicles from 14 Caucasian males and found that catagen-phase follicles were more prevalent (7.5%) than previously reported, challenging the established view that telogen-phase follicles are more common.

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 review highlights the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a cost-effective solution for tissue restoration and regeneration in ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeries, addressing unmet needs in reconstructive procedures.

This study found that Iraqi women with PCOS who carry the reference wild type alleles of OCT1 had a significant hormonal and metabolic response to metformin, unlike those with mutant alleles.

This report describes a case of dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in tropical and temperate climates, affecting a female dog with alopecia on its neck and ear tip.

This report details the clinical presentation of an 18-year-old female with Kallmann syndrome, noting her ocular issues and differences in sexual development. The researchers treated her eye conditions cosmetically with superficial keratectomy and amniotic membrane graft, followed by corneal tattooing and strabismus correction.

This case report described acute vision loss in a patient after forehead injections of triamcinolone acetonide for alopecia areata, attributing retinal artery occlusion to embolization by steroid particles.

This study presents a case of a 6-month-old infant girl with hypotrichosis and an alopecic plaque in the occipital region, characterized by broken and dystrophic hairs with follicular papules and perifollicular hyperkeratosis, suggesting a diagnostic consideration.

The researchers reported that one-third of women with female pattern hair loss in their study had occipital region involvement, which is important for diagnosing and planning treatment, including hair restoration surgery, as the occipital region is often used as a normal reference.

Recent studies highlighted in this research suggest that alopecia types in men, traditionally thought to affect only certain scalp areas, can also impact the occipital region, which was previously presumed unaffected.

In this study, researchers examined men with early-stage androgenetic alopecia and found distinct patterns of hair loss correlated with genetic and hormonal factors, noting that parietal region pattern hair loss responded better to minoxidil and micronutrient treatment compared to occipital region pattern.

In this study, researchers analyzed the occipital donor area for hair transplantation among men aged 50–55 with androgenetic alopecia and found that while most subjects met standard safe donor area criteria, individual variations suggest a conservative approach to donor area selection.

This piece discusses the importance of diagnosing and treating refractive errors and ocular diseases in patients with alopecia areata for better prognosis, but it presents no new findings.

This case report details the ocular complications of Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome in a 20-year-old Bangladeshi patient, highlighting symptoms like dry eyes, Meibomian gland dysfunction, and cataracts.

The man's occipital hair loss was due to temporal triangular alopecia, not alopecia areata.
