This article reviews the clinical characterization and potential treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting minoxidil's efficacy in hair regrowth and noting the need for further genetic research; it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the impact of drugs on human hair growth, highlighting its psychological importance and noting that most contributions are from clinical perspectives, with some input from biochemists and physiologists.

This case study describes a rare instance of alopecia universalis in a Japanese patient following an mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

In this case report, researchers observed multiple trichofolliculomas in family members, noting this as a rare manifestation of typically singular hair follicle hamartomas.

This study reported that 5% topical minoxidil lotion may be beneficial for enhancing hair regrowth in patients with telogen effluvium, although its effectiveness is limited by the self-healing nature of the condition and the small sample size.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma combined with topical minoxidil was more effective in increasing hair density for male-type baldness than either treatment alone.

This study compared the effectiveness and safety of microneedling with PRP versus minoxidil and finasteride topical therapy in adult males with androgenetic alopecia, finding similar hair density improvements in both groups, though microneedling with PRP had a quicker onset of action.

The study found that CO2 dot matrix laser combined with platelet-rich plasma improved scar repair, psychological state, and quality of life in patients with acne vulgaris-related depressed scars.

This review synthesizes data suggesting that managing inflammation and oxidative stress may enhance the effectiveness of PRP therapy for hair regeneration, though standardizing PRP protocols remains challenging.

This study suggests a regulatory model where HOXC13 activates Foxn1, affecting hair and nail differentiation, supported by similarities in Hoxc13(tm1Mrc) and Foxn1(nu) mice phenotypes and gene expression patterns.

This article discusses the causes of hirsutism, identifying increased androgen production and heightened skin sensitivity, and provides no new clinical results.

This review discusses female pattern hair loss, highlighting that while oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil can arrest progression, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, and stresses the need for ongoing therapy.

This review utilizes clinical vignettes to detail various pain syndromes associated with multiple sclerosis, including their pathophysiology and management strategies, highlighting conditions like central neuropathic pain, Lhermitte's phenomenon, and trigeminal neuralgia as they relate to different lesion types.

This systematic review found that most level I/II clinical studies on platelet-rich plasma therapy have focused on musculoskeletal injuries, but inconsistent reporting of PRP composition complicates comparisons across medical specialties.

This study demonstrated that keratin K124 is specific to equine hoof lamellar tissue and established monoclonal antibodies that can specifically recognize K124 without cross-reacting with other tissues.

This study found that several herbal extracts, like those from Tridax procumbens and Ginko biloba, have demonstrated hair growth-promoting effects in both animal models and in vitro experiments.

In this study, the researchers developed a novasome vesicle carrying bovine placenta extract, which demonstrated superior hair growth effects in rats compared to traditional minoxidil and PE-loaded liposomes, and showed good stability and physical characteristics over 90 days at 4°C.

This chapter reviews the prevalence, symptoms, and management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, highlighting the potential role of certain medicinal plants in its treatment but reporting no new clinical results.

This review discusses various scalp infections, infestations, and neoplasms but reports no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the diversity of diseases from different origins.

In this study, researchers presented cases of cellular neurothekeoma in three male family members with early-onset in infancy, suggesting a potential genetic component and inheritance pattern, which deviates from the typical presentation seen mostly in women between 20–30 years.

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.

This case report highlights that improper application techniques, such as scalp occlusion, can increase systemic absorption of minoxidil and lead to unwanted side effects like hypertrichosis.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels than healthy controls, suggesting a possible role of vitamin D deficiency in the condition.

This systematic review concluded that 5 mg of oral finasteride per day could be an effective and safe treatment for female pattern hair loss in normoandrogenic women, particularly when combined with other medications.

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.

This report describes a case of secondary syphilis with an unusual folliculocentric papular eruption in an HIV-positive patient, underlining the diagnostic challenges and importance of biopsy with treponemal staining in such cases.
