This study found that multi-hair follicles naturally orient perpendicular to the radial line from the crown whirl, suggesting that perpendicular transplantation of grafts could replicate this natural appearance.

This study found that hair density is significantly lower in African Americans compared to whites, which may affect the evaluation and diagnosis of scalp biopsy specimens in this population.

This meta-analysis suggests that the G allele of AR StuI polymorphism might be a potential risk factor for AGA, particularly in white populations.

This study introduced a new high-throughput method for analyzing scalp hair morphology and found that quantifying hair form provides more accurate information than traditional classification based on racial categories, challenging the belief that cross-sectional morphology predicts hair curvature.

This study found that COVID-19 infection disrupts spermatogenesis, alters testicular cell populations, and may impact male fertility by causing long-term changes in testicular function and reduced sperm quality, as observed even in patients who have recovered from the acute phase of the infection.

This observational retrospective study conducted at Lahore General Hospital reported that scabies, followed by tinea and acne, were the most common skin diseases, primarily affecting females and prevalent in the summer months among the studied population.

This study observed that in a large, diverse US adult population, skin of color was associated with a higher prevalence of alopecia areata, whereas lower prevalence was seen among those with lower education, income, and lacking health insurance.

This paper discusses how Bram Stoker's "The Secret of the Growing Gold" reinterprets a Hungarian folktale to reflect British Victorian racial anxieties, linking Teutonic superiority with Hungarian folklore.

This study found that multi-hair follicles in nonbald men are primarily oriented perpendicular to the radial line from the crown whorl, suggesting perpendicular transplant grafts might mimic natural appearance.

In this study, low grade inflammation was associated with skin conditions like atopic eczema, onychomycosis, and rosacea in an adult Finnish population.

This study found that acne keloidalis nuchae was associated with pseudofolliculitis barbae, chronic scalp folliculitis, and aspects of the metabolic syndrome, particularly hypertension, in the examined population.

This meta-analysis confirmed associations between some androgenic and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS, suggesting that these measurements might help predict metabolic risk in this population.

This review discusses trichoscopic features of hair disorders in individuals with dark skin phototypes and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize the need for more specific diagnostic criteria for these populations.

This review discusses the clinical features and treatment options for adult acne, highlighting the need for tailored management in specific populations, but reports no new findings.

This genome-wide association study identified several genetic markers, including specific SNPs and HLA genotypes, associated with alopecia areata susceptibility in the Taiwanese population, highlighting key pathways involved in immune response and offering insights into the genetic origins of this autoimmune condition.

In this study, researchers found that while 16 out of 116 American Medical Association House of Delegates associations provide materials on healthcare for incarcerated individuals, there is a notable lack of practical clinical guidance, which may lead to inconsistent healthcare practices for this population.

This study reached a consensus among experts on the most important diversity, equity, and inclusion topics for dermatology residency curricula, suggesting integration may enhance patient care for diverse populations.

This study reports that hair cortisol measurement in older Puerto Rican adults found a significant portion had non-detectable cortisol levels, especially among black participants, influencing exclusion rates in such populations.

This study found that hair follicle stem cells initially contribute to wound re-epithelialization, but long-lasting epidermal cells are primarily derived from a stem cell population in the isthmus portion of hair follicles.

This case report describes instances of lipedematous scalp and lipedematous alopecia in white adults, indicating these rare conditions may be more widespread and frequent in this population than previously thought.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

In this study, CD4+ non-haematopoietic, skin-resident stem cell-like populations were identified in both murine and human epidermis, suggesting they may serve as potential basal cell carcinoma precursors.

People with alopecia areata face different healthcare access and experiences based on their race and ethnicity.

This review discusses the hormonal influences on prostate carcinogenesis and notes ongoing trials investigating whether finasteride could reduce prostate cancer incidence by inhibiting dihydrotestosterone synthesis, but it reports no new results.

This review highlights the importance of dermatologists understanding cultural hair practices among immigrant populations, acknowledging that some practices may contribute to hair and scalp disorders, and reports no new results.

This study found that follicular unit density in bald Chinese patients is lower compared to Caucasian patients, with an average implantation density of 30 FUs/cm² achieving about 40% of normal hair density for frontal hairline reconstruction.

This study found that genetic predictions of male pattern baldness from European populations do not generalize well to African populations, highlighting significant differences in genetic architecture between them.

This study reports distinctive clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathological features of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution among Chinese patients, suggesting possible racial differences compared to previous studies primarily involving Caucasians.

This review discusses potential causes of alopecia and hair overgrowth in pediatric patients, detailing diagnostic techniques and treatments, but presents no new research findings.

This study found that hirsutism is more prevalent in Chinese women with PCOS compared to the general population, and the Ferriman-Gallwey score is a good predictor for diagnosing PCOS in this group.
