This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

In this study, researchers reported that cutaneous ultrasound may be a valuable tool in diagnosing and assessing inflammatory activity in tinea capitis, potentially guiding treatment decisions, especially in severe cases not apparent through clinical symptoms alone.

This study found that the weak tensile strength of pili torti hair may result from loose keratin intermediate filaments due to abnormalities in disulfide bonds.

The study concluded that a 'Swiss cheese' pattern in hair follicles is a useful sign for diagnosing alopecia areata.

This study found that the yellow dot pattern observed in dermoscopy of alopecia areata corresponds to inefficient follicular structures containing hair remnants, as corroborated by reflectance confocal microscopy and pathological findings.

This study found that combining follicular isolation with de-epithelialization in eyebrow and eyelash transplantation led to better outcomes and fewer complications than using follicular isolation alone.

The researchers developed semi-dissolving microneedle patches using TEMPO-oxidized bacterial cellulose nanofibers, which allow effective transdermal drug delivery by forming micro-channels for large drug quantities, overcoming traditional microneedles' low drug loading.

In this report, researchers describe an unusual case of congenital pili multigemini, a hair follicle disorder, presenting on the eyebrow of a female infant, highlighting its rarity and atypical location.

This study found that follicular acantholysis is a common histopathological feature in pemphigus, with differences in depth between pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus lesions that may aid in diagnosis.

This report describes several cases of pili annulati in children, highlighting its genetic predisposition and distinctive "zebra stripe" hair pattern, but notes no effective treatment is available.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

This paper does not provide study results; it shares author affiliations and publication details without reporting any findings.

In this study, researchers found that dermoscopy revealed specific features in Malassezia folliculitis, such as folliculocentricity and perilesional erythema, which can aid in its identification and potentially distinguish it from acne vulgaris.

This study reported detailed three-dimensional ultrastructural observations of human hair and hair follicles using a modified preparation method, including morphological differences in hair bulb cell layers and surface projections on root sheath cells.

Small white dots on the scalp seen with a dermoscope correspond to sweat ducts and vary with different hair disorders.

This study found that the washing method can help differentiate chronic telogen effluvium from mild female pattern hair loss, potentially reducing the need for biopsies.

This study found that both trichoscopy and folliscopy are highly accurate for diagnosing telogen effluvium, though trichoscopy is simpler and faster to perform.

This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

This study reported that dilated follicular infundibula are a highly useful histopathologic criterion for diagnosing alopecia areata, particularly during its recovery stage.

This paper reviews the use of microneedling alone and in combination with platelet-rich plasma for various skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical findings.

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.

A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.

This study introduced a non-invasive, three-step diagnostic algorithm for alopecia that combines clinical and trichoscopic features to accurately identify alopecia subtypes, potentially reducing reliance on invasive histopathology.

This study describes a novel method using force-triggered density gradient sedimentation for efficiently isolating dermal papilla cells from neonatal mouse skin, showing promise for hair follicle regeneration research.

In this study, researchers showed that multiphoton microscopy with fluorescent protein tagging enables single-cell imaging and tracking in live transgenic mice, offering new insights into cell dynamics in stem cell research compared to traditional histological methods.

This overview of the Dermatologic Surgery journal describes its extensive coverage of peer-reviewed content across various skin surgery techniques but presents no new research findings.

In this retrospective study, researchers from the University of Bologna observed that trichoscopy can aid in diagnosing allergic scalp contact dermatitis, with key findings including common trichoscopic patterns of erythema, white scales, arborizing vessels, and simple red loops in 12 patients diagnosed with the condition.

This review assessed trichoscopic findings in folliculotropic mycosis fungoides of the scalp, reporting features like milky-red globules and distinct vascular patterns, but noted the predominance of small studies and the need for larger research to validate trichoscopy's diagnostic utility for this condition.

This report describes a 60-year-old female with pretibial pruritic papular dermatitis who showed significant improvement of skin lesions after one month of treatment with oral pentoxifylline. The authors highlight the unique clinical and histological features of PPPD and propose pentoxifylline as a potential therapy.

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