The study found Microsporum canis to be the most common cause of tinea capitis in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, with griseofulvin and topical imidazole effectively treating the infection.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This study reports that the ScalpEye system accurately diagnosed dandruff, folliculitis, hair loss, and oily hair with a precision range of 97.41% to 99.09%.

This study reports that deep learning models, particularly CNN and FCN, achieved high accuracy in diagnosing scalp and skin disorders, suggesting potential for improved diagnostic systems with further advancements.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

This review discusses the genetic disorder, monilethrix, characterized by fragile, brittle hair and its inheritance patterns, and reports no new clinical results.

This study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish between scarring and non-scarring alopecia by identifying certain morphological features, but further research is needed to confirm its clinical utility.

This case study reports that a 9-year-old Nepalese boy with tinea capitis successfully recovered with systemic antifungal therapy, though experienced focal alopecia without recurrence at a two-year follow-up.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman with diffuse nonscarring alopecia characterized by hair thinning, increased catagen/telogen follicles, and mild inflammatory infiltrate, highlighting the diagnostic findings via scalp dermoscopy and biopsy.

This study concluded that noninvasive imaging techniques offer potential benefits in managing scalp conditions by potentially reducing the need for biopsies and minimizing patient morbidity, each technique having unique advantages and limitations for specific conditions.

This study found that RCM combined with dermoscopy can differentiate disease states between alopecia areata, tinea capitis, nevus sebaceous, and linear scleroderma of the scalp by identifying distinct dermal and follicular patterns.

In this case study, a 9-year-old boy with progressive scalp alopecia was diagnosed with tinea versicolor caused by Malassezia, and treatment with topical ketoconazole and selenium sulfide resulted in full hair regrowth in 6 weeks.

This study found that both reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography can visualize detailed hair follicle abnormalities in various skin disorders, but larger, higher-quality studies are needed for clinical implementation.

This study found that despite chemical differences, five different brands of reconstructive hair fibers all provided successful cosmetic results in disguising hair loss in patients.

This study found that the structure and mineral content of dromedary camel hair, specifically the medulla patterns, medulla index, and elemental composition, change with age, revealing differences among camels aged 1 year, 3-5 years, and 8-10 years.

This study identified a novel microscopic "arrow sign" in hair root sheaths of patients on EGFR inhibitors, potentially aiding in diagnosing related hair changes and differentiating from fungal infections.

In this case report, narrowband-UVB phototherapy successfully treated a rare instance of Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, a variant of lichen planopilaris, as investigated through non-invasive imaging techniques.

This study identified three new genetic loci linked to sweat gland density in a GWAS involving 6,210 Han Chinese individuals, highlighting potential targets for understanding conditions like anhidrosis and hyperhidrosis and emphasizing the use of quantitative traits in genetic dermatology research.

This study examined the morphological variations of terminal hair from different body regions of a Caucasian male, finding notable differences in diameter and features like "steak-boning" in specific hair types.

This study found that telocytes in human scalp tissue were located around hair follicles and glands and may be involved in skin regeneration and homeostasis.

This study investigated the hair structure of wild pigs in the Balıkesir region using stereomicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, finding distinct bifurcation patterns, but concluded that pig bristles used in brushes likely wouldn't retain these features, complicating species identification.

This study found statistically significant patterns in hair morphology and ultrastructure linked to biogeographic ancestry among European, African, and East Asian populations.

This article discusses the advancements in follicular unit transplantation for hair restoration and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes improved aesthetic outcomes using updated techniques.

This study observed that fetal hair follicle melanocytes varied in morphology and development stages, with melanosomes undergoing degradation into irregular pigment particles within keratinocytes.

In this study, telemedicine using trichoscopy for alopecia areata patients showed high concordance with outpatient trichoscopy in image quality and similar levels of patient satisfaction, indicating its effectiveness for follow-up and continuity of care.

In this study, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and generalized non-scarring alopecia exhibited hair loss similar to telogen effluvium, with significant changes observed in the cuticle of telogen hairs.

This report presents a case of pili torti in a young girl with citrullinemia, a novel association not previously documented.

This case report details a 52-year-old man's successful hair regrowth following treatment with griseofulvin for Trichophyton tonsurans-induced scalp ringworm.

This case report describes a 6-month-old girl in China who experienced complete remission of tinea capitis after 8 weeks of treatment with oral fluconazole and ketoconazole cream.

In this case report, a 14-year-old girl developed azathioprine-induced anagen effluvium, highlighting it as a rare but reversible side effect with prompt drug withdrawal leading to significant hair regrowth.
