This study found that rebonding hair straightening treatments visibly damage the hair cuticle, causing surface erosion and cracks, as shown through Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis.

This study found that the use of high pH chemical agents for hair straightening can cause significant damage to hair, including protein degradation and weakened fiber strength, and may lead to permanent scalp conditions like contact dermatitis and cicatricial alopecia.

This study outlines how combined ultrasonic and infrared hair treatments may enhance hair restoration and performance by breaking down keratin disulfide bonds for better treatment access and sealing cuticle scales to preserve improvements, with potential applications in salon and home settings.

This case series describes young men with mild scalp psoriasis and a family history of androgenetic alopecia who exhibit a compulsive behavior of preserving scalp scales, highlighting a potential body-focused repetitive behavior.

This study involved using smartphone applications and low-cost trichoscopy devices to assess various hair and scalp conditions, with diagnoses confirmed through detailed imaging during remote consultations and in-person evaluations.

In this case report, a 31-year-old diabetic and obese male was diagnosed with follicular psoriasis, a rare variant characterized by scaly follicular papules, using dermoscopy and histopathology; treatment with topical mometasone furoate and oral levocetirizine led to complete lesion resolution within a month.

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.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose a teenage girl's hair loss as monilethrix.

Tinea capitis can be quickly diagnosed and treated using dermoscopy to prevent hair damage.

A 5-year-old girl with a rare skin disorder was effectively treated with skin creams instead of oral medication.

A woman's hair loss was correctly diagnosed as Lichen planopilaris after initial misdiagnosis, highlighting the usefulness of trichoscopy in diagnosing hair disorders.

In this study, low-dose spironolactone reduced the severity of female pattern hair loss in a small group of women without causing significant side effects, suggesting it may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment option.

This study suggests that a high frequency of androgenetic alopecia is associated with increased severity of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients.

This study reported that finasteride administered at 2.5 mg/day was clinically effective in 62% of women with female pattern hair loss, with greater efficacy observed in those who were premenopausal or had a lower Ludwig score.

This study found that men with early-onset male pattern alopecia did not significantly differ from healthy individuals in cardiovascular and metabolic measures, but hsCRP and galectin-3 were linked to cardiovascular risk factors in those with the condition.

This study found that trichoscopy can confirm the diagnosis and assess the clinical severity of female androgenetic alopecia, correlating specific features with different severity grades.

This study compares datasets to analyze the prevalence of androgenetic alopecia in patients admitted with severe COVID-19 in three Madrid hospitals, focusing on age, gender, and alopecia severity.

This study reports that a majority of patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 in three Madrid hospitals exhibited androgenetic alopecia, termed the "Gabrin Sign".

In this study, a combination of GFM-lotion with autologous PRP treatment improved efficacy in treating androgenic alopecia compared to PRP alone, as shown by significant improvements in clinical assessments over 3 months.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly lower hair zinc levels compared to controls, but no significant difference in blood zinc levels was observed.

In this study, the researchers developed a computer-aided imaging system to quantitatively measure baldness in Chinese women with female pattern hair loss, potentially improving the precision of severity evaluation compared to traditional scales.

This article involves an interview with dermatologist Rodney Sinclair and provides no new research findings.

Topical 5α-reductase inhibitor helps counteract hair loss and stabilize it.

This review discusses treatments for chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlighting scalp cooling for hair loss prevention and 2% topical minoxidil for regrowth acceleration as effective options, but reports a need for more rigorous trials to validate promising new therapies.

This article discusses SARS-CoV-2-induced telogen effluvium in a multicentric study and reports 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 study found that a genetic test using 5 to 20 SNPs can predict male pattern baldness with variable accuracy in European men, especially those aged 50 and older.

This study found that transdermal testosterone significantly increased the frequency of satisfactory sexual events in women experiencing SSRI/SNRI-related loss of libido, but did not improve overall sexual self-rating scores.

In this clinical study, low-level laser therapy using the HANDI-DOME LASER device increased hair counts by 51% compared to controls, indicating its potential as a safe and effective treatment for androgenetic alopecia in women aged 18 to 60.

This study noted that among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, androgenetic alopecia was prevalent, and severe cases were associated with adverse outcomes such as respiratory failure, highlighting a possible link with androgen sensitivity.
