This study observed that patient-physician alignment on alopecia areata severity largely followed Japanese Dermatological Association criteria, yet alignment on treatment satisfaction was lower, with lack of efficacy as the main dissatisfaction reason.

This review examines factors influencing dermatophyte infection in companion animals, focusing on prevalence, clinical signs, pathogenesis, immune response, and the impact of cortisol and cytokines, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses current medical and surgical treatments for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the use of finasteride and minoxidil for men and the role of hair transplantation techniques, without providing new clinical results.

This study found that both FUE and FUT methods are equally effective in producing high-quality hair grafts, with FUE offering the advantage of less noticeable scarring compared to FUT.

This study developed a rapid and sensitive method for determining finasteride concentrations in pharmaceuticals, with results comparable to those from the standard HPLC method.

This study reported that C. procera leaf extracts showed antifungal activity against several dermatophytes, with ethanol extracts demonstrating slightly greater efficacy than aqueous extracts.

This source reports that modern hair transplant techniques, including follicular unit grafting, can create natural-looking results and are increasingly used beyond male pattern baldness to treat areas like eyebrows and scars, while even some controversial indications are being explored.

This study found that biotransformation of finasteride by Aspergillus niger produced two metabolites with different levels of lipoxygenase inhibition, suggesting potential for developing more potent derivatives.

This study found that Mueller-Hinton Agar performed better than Dermasel Agar for antifungal susceptibility testing of feline dermatophytes, providing reliable susceptibility data for effective antifungal therapy.

The study developed herbal shampoo formulations using isolated phytoconstituents, such as eugenol, rutin, menthol, and camphor, which demonstrated similar antifungal efficacy to ketoconazole but with improved safety and detergency, offering a promising alternative for managing seborrheic dermatitis.

In a conditional knockout mouse model, this study found that loss of the transcription elongation factor SPT6 in basal keratinocytes led to psoriasis-like skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, suggesting SPT6 plays a crucial role in maintaining epidermal immune quiescence by suppressing proinflammatory NF-κB signaling.

This research reports that onychomycosis, a common nail fungal infection often caused by Candida yeast, requires laboratory testing like direct preparations, fungal cultures, and molecular tests for accurate diagnosis due to its diverse etiology and differential diagnosis, improving therapy effectiveness and efficiency.

In this article, a rare case of black piedra, a zoonotic hair disease typically found in tropical climates, was documented in Russia due to close contact between an infected and a healthy person, with insights into its epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment discussed.

This article outlines the scope, publication standards, and authorship responsibilities of the International Journal of KIU, but reports no new research results.

This study observed that grey patch is the most common variant of tinea capitis in northeastern India, with T. violaceum being the predominant fungal isolate.

This study developed a new spectrophotometric method to accurately measure finasteride levels in pharmaceutical formulations using a reaction with NBD-CL.

This study reported that combined oral finasteride and topical 5% minoxidil treatment in men with male-pattern hair loss improved hair growth by initiating anagen in pre-existing but deficient follicles, yet the growth rates remained unchanged and did not normalize hair productivity.

This study developed and validated a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for accurately identifying and quantifying tamsulosin and finasteride in pharmaceutical forms, showing its effectiveness for quality control.

This study optimized and validated a dissolution test method for immediate-release finasteride capsules, highlighting the need for an official standard due to variability in commercial products.

This study found that low-level laser treatment with the HairMax Lasercomb significantly increased terminal hair density in both men and women with pattern hair loss, with no serious adverse events reported.

This study found that Santolina oil was effective in controlling experimental candidiasis in both in vitro and in vivo settings and enhanced the effectiveness of clotrimazole against Candida albicans in vitro.

This study suggests that a position effect disrupting TRPS1 expression may be linked to hypertrichosis in both Ambras syndrome in humans and a similar phenotype in Koa mice.

This study found that taking a daily oral dose of 50mg DHEA for one year had no significant impact on blood lipids, insulin sensitivity, or the endometrium in postmenopausal women with low libido.

This study found that late adolescent and young women with clinical hyperandrogenism, including PCOS, experienced higher psychological distress and impaired well-being compared to their healthy peers.

This study found that men appearing in photos after a hair transplant were perceived by observers as younger, more attractive, more successful, and more approachable compared to their pretransplant images.

This study found that an oral marine protein supplement significantly increased hair growth and reduced hair shedding in women with temporary thinning hair over 90 days compared to a placebo.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

In this study, topically applying 2% ketoconazole cream twice daily for 21 days was found effective in treating dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis in cats, showing approximately 85% improvement in skin lesions and the disappearance of the fungi.

This study found that dietary supplementation with collagen, chondroitin sulfate, low-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, Pycnogenol®, and coenzyme Q10 significantly improved skin hydration, elasticity, nail hardness, and hair condition in patients with age-related dermatological changes after 12 weeks.

In this study, withdrawal of baricitinib therapy in patients with severe alopecia areata who had achieved hair regrowth led to a loss of benefit in almost all patients, suggesting that continued treatment is necessary to maintain hair regrowth.
