This study found that a positive anagen pull test can be an indicator of lichen planopilaris activity, suggesting its utility in the clinical assessment of this condition.

In this study, researchers found that transverse sections of alopecia areata lesions showed significantly more terminal hair follicles with perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate compared to longitudinal sections, and this immune infiltration positively correlated with the positive hair pull test in patients.

This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This article presents a dissenting opinion, arguing that the case described by Dr. Molina et al. was diffuse alopecia areata, not acute alopecia areata as claimed, emphasizing the importance of distinct clinical differences.

This study found that combining a potent steroid with a vitamin D analogue may offer more convenient treatment for localized alopecia areata than using a superpotent steroid alone, with comparable efficacy but fewer side effects.

This study observed that patients who received Favipiravir treatment after having COVID-19 had lower positive pull test scores for telogen effluvium hair loss compared to those who did not, suggesting that Favipiravir may not influence the development of telogen effluvium.

In this study, most hair disorders among HIV-1 positive patients were associated with low helper T cell counts, with papulosquamous conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis being the most common.

This study observed that while platelet-rich plasma showed positive short-term effects on hair density in individuals with androgenic alopecia, its effectiveness declined after four months, suggesting possible need for additional treatment.

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 reports that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was effective and well-tolerated for treating extensive alopecia areata in patients who often showed specific initial hair characteristics.

In this observational study, researchers found that acute telogen effluvium, a form of temporary hair loss, occurred in 80 patients following COVID-19 infection, with 70 showing a significant decrease in hair density and trichoscopic signs like peripilar sign and yellow dots.

This study found that Malassezia carriage was significantly more common among participants experiencing hair shedding, suggesting a potential link between this fungal presence and hair loss.

This case report describes a 37-year-old woman whose recurrent hair shedding was associated with low iron stores and a miscarriage, with improvements seen after increased iron intake.

This study found that patients with telogen effluvium had a higher rate of acute hair loss and lower monocyte counts if they had contracted COVID-19 prior to hair loss onset.

This report describes a case of tinea capitis caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, highlighting its unusual ability to perforate hair and act as an etiological agent for the condition.

This study found that intradermal administration of QR678 Neo® significantly reduced hair fall and improved hair growth in patients with androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, with no side effects reported during long-term follow-up.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy in critical condition who developed anagen effluvium, possibly due to hypotension and hypoxia triggering hair follicle apoptosis.

This study found that treatment improved symptoms and stopped disease progression for 75% of lichen planopilaris patients whose follow-up data were available.

This case report discusses a young girl with loose anagen hair syndrome, highlighting the importance of recognizing the condition early to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments, and noting her spontaneous improvement with conservative management.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy significantly improved hair density and reduced hair shedding in Vietnamese patients with androgenetic alopecia, with high patient satisfaction and minimal side effects.

This report describes a rare case of loose anagen hair syndrome in a young Indian child, highlighting its clinical and trichoscopic features.

This study found that patients with COVID-19 infection lasting longer than two weeks experienced more severe post-infection hair loss, with women and older individuals particularly affected.

This case report describes a 19-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and telogen effluvium, who experienced new hair growth and increased hair density after 90 days of treatment with 2% topical minoxidil and oral keratin-based antioxidants.

This article presents cases of two patients experiencing excessive hair shedding 2 to 3 months after COVID-19 infection, highlighting a possible link to telogen effluvium.

This study found that, among 100 patients with alopecia areata, the most prevalent subtype was patchy alopecia areata, with characteristic trichoscopic features including black dots, yellow dots, and empty hair follicles.

Postpartum hair loss usually stops within 4-6 months.

This study found that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and diffuse hair loss showed non-scarring alopecia without inflammation and a decrease in total hair follicles.

This report describes a unique case of dyschromatosis universalis in a 10-year-old Haitian male, notable for the presence of a silvery sheen to his scalp hairs and eyelashes, which may represent a variation of the condition.

This study found that androgenic alopecia often begins at a young age and may be more severe with a family history, though treatment efficacy did not depend on family history.

This study found that lower hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with male pattern hair loss in patients diagnosed with non-cicatricial alopecia.
