This review discusses the unmet needs and barriers in managing alopecia areata in Latin America, highlighting access constraints and recommending coordinated efforts to improve patient outcomes with promising new treatments.

This case report describes areata-like lupus in a 63-year-old woman, characterized by nonscarring patchy alopecia similar to alopecia areata, without meeting systemic lupus erythematosus criteria.

In this study, researchers found a significant association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder stimulant medications and alopecia universalis in children, although this finding was based on a small sample size.

This case report describes the first documented instance of idiopathic seasonal alopecia in a horse in Brazil, characterized by symmetrical hair loss and subsequent regrowth linked to seasonal changes.

This review discusses current pharmacological proposals for treating alopecia areata, highlighting the need for individualized treatment plans due to limited clinical trial evidence and potential for spontaneous remission.

Results are not reported in this abstract, which notes that while Janus kinase inhibitors like baricitinib show therapeutic benefits for alopecia areata, the mechanisms and reliable predictors of response remain unclear.

The study found that both mometasone and calcipotriol ointments effectively reduced alopecia severity in localized alopecia areata, with calcipotriol having fewer side effects, while tacrolimus showed no significant effect.

This review explores the complex interactions between hair follicle stem cells and surrounding structures that are essential for understanding hair regeneration, reporting no new experimental results.

Stress can cause hair loss and skin issues by affecting hair growth cycles.

This article discusses the concept of hair cloning through cultured follicular cell implantation but provides no new experimental results; it highlights ongoing interest among hair restoration professionals and the public.

In this study, researchers observed that a hidden scalp condition could contribute to acne keloidalis nuchae and potentially other primary cicatricial alopecias, impacting their diagnosis and treatment.

Eosinophilic infiltrate is not a reliable indicator for diagnosing chronic alopecia areata.

This study found that topical immunotherapy affects angiogenesis and immune cell ratios in the scalp, potentially offering insights into the mechanisms underlying alopecia areata.

This case report describes a patient with psoriasis and alopecia universalis where psoriasis plaques supported hair growth, suggesting cytokine interaction may influence competing immune responses.

This report describes a case of postoperative pressure-induced alopecia in a 5-year-old girl following liver transplantation, suggesting that scalp dermatoscopy may help differentiate this condition from alopecia areata.

Laser hair removal might also work by damaging blood vessels around hair follicles.

This study found that in Alopecia Areata, increased non-anagen terminal follicles and peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrate are consistent histological features, even in cases that have progressed to scarring.

In this study, two patients with localized hair thinning showed histopathological signs typical of alopecia areata, responding to corticosteroid treatment similarly to classical cases.

In this study, a 12-year-old intact male wirehaired fox terrier with testicular neoplasia and alopecia universalis was successfully treated for the alopecia using a combination of ciclosporin and ketoconazole, leading to complete hair regrowth.

This case report details the development of a psoriasiform rash and inflammatory alopecia in a 29-year-old man with severe atopic dermatitis following dupilumab treatment. The authors observed hair regrowth and eczema control after discontinuing dupilumab and beginning treatment with abrocitinib.

This study involving Vietnamese patients with alopecia areata found that histopathological examination is crucial for diagnosis, noting diverse features including peribulbar lymphocytic infiltration and varying hair follicle characteristics across disease stages, with eosinophils and necrosis observed in some cases.

This study utilized 3D ultra-high frequency ultrasound to effectively detect different disease phases of alopecia areata by visualizing hair follicle structures and identifying unique pathological signs, offering a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool that surpasses conventional methods.

This study suggests that monitoring CD8+ TEMRA cells in patients with rapidly progressive alopecia areata treated with intravenous corticosteroids could help predict therapeutic outcomes.

This study reported that combining vertical and horizontal sectioning in scalp biopsies allows for a more thorough examination of histological changes in various types of alopecia.

This report presents evidence that alopecia areata incognita may be a possible mechanism of hair loss in patients with Cronkhite–Canada syndrome.

This report describes a case of temporary hair loss due to telogen effluvium after rhytidectomy, suggesting dermatologic surgeons consider preventive measures to minimize trauma and tension on hair follicles during surgery.

This study found that in eyelids with ptosis, voluntary brow elevation raises the eyelid position similar to maximal eyelid opening, suggesting brow lifting is driven by efforts to elevate the eyelid.

This study found that minimally invasive combined fascia sheath suspension improved eyelid symmetry in patients with unilateral ptosis, particularly in measures of marginal reflex distance and eyelid contour.

This article reviews various surgical techniques to improve ocular and cosmetic outcomes in patients with facial paralysis but reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes tailored long-term management strategies.
