Two patients had a rare combination of red skin spots and white scaly skin lesions not on the genitals.

This review discusses micro-segmental hair analysis for forensic toxicology, emphasizing its potential to provide detailed drug distribution profiles and its application in investigations, while noting the method's limitations and future perspectives.

This study found that Nelumbinis Semen extract may promote hair growth and reduce hair loss by increasing VEGF and IGF-1 expression and decreasing TGF-β1 in human dermal papilla cells and mice.

This study elucidated the multi-component and multi-target mechanisms by which TR and Am may provide therapeutic benefits for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that a complex extract of Polygonatum sibiricum and Nelumbinis semen improved menopause symptoms in an ovariectomized rat model by enhancing blood lipid metabolism and reducing osteoporosis, without increasing risks of side effects like endometriosis, unlike conventional hormone-replacement therapy.

Unconventional home remedies can sometimes show surprising results.

This study found that the loss of Msx2 in knockout mice led to phenotypes similar to Peters anomaly and microphthalmia, suggesting that MSX2 plays a critical role in anterior segment development of the eye.

This study used micro-segmental hair analysis to identify the day of drug intake and suggested differing uptake mechanisms for co-administered drugs based on their properties.

This study found that higher serum CXCL10 levels may predict the progression of non-segmental vitiligo, especially in patients also suffering from autoimmune thyroid disease and/or alopecia areata.

This study found that combining weekly transverse needling sessions with mini-punch grafting significantly accelerated and enhanced repigmentation in stable, resistant non-segmental vitiligo lesions compared to each procedure alone or non-procedural treatment.

This study concluded that drug-distribution measurements using micro-segmental hair analysis are effective for drowned bodies, as natural water containing divalent ions prevents drug washout from hair.

This study improved a hair analysis method to estimate the days of continuous ingestion of hay-fever medicines, with an average error of about 2 days from actual ingestion.

This study suggests that combining baricitinib with narrowband UV-B therapy is an effective and well-tolerated approach for treating active nonsegmental vitiligo.

This study found significantly elevated central corneal thickness and intraocular pressure in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting it should be considered in evaluating anterior segment diseases and glaucoma in women.

VYN201 shows promise as a safe and effective treatment for non-segmental vitiligo.

This study found that the multi-thresholding method was the most effective for segmenting hair during laser removal, as it clearly distinguished hair patterns with minimal noise.

In this retrospective study on pediatric craniospinal irradiation, researchers found that permanent radiation-induced alopecia occurred in 45.8% of patients, with higher radiation doses and treatment intensity being significant predictors, suggesting that defined dosimetric thresholds can support scalp-sparing planning.

This study found that applying 5% topical minoxidil gel on treatment-resistant vitiligo patches may promote early repigmentation, showing significant improvement at one month compared to a placebo, though later differences were not statistically significant.

This study developed an automated image analysis framework for diagnosing hair disorders using trichoscopic images, reporting a Random Forest classifier as having an 86.67% accuracy in distinguishing between different scalp pathologies based on quantitative image features.

This case report describes a 26-year-old woman with an uncommon presentation of varicella zoster virus interstitial keratitis misdiagnosed as corneal intraepithelial neoplasia; the correct identification using diagnostic tools such as AS-OCT prevented unnecessary surgical interventions and allowed for effective antiviral treatment.

This study proposes a new method for hair segmentation that improved performance in skin lesion images, as indicated by an increase in the Dice score from 76.97% to 79.08%.

This source describes vitiligo as a chronic condition marked by the loss of skin pigmentation and discusses leukotrichia, a feature affecting 10% to 60% of cases, which arises from melanocyte loss in hair follicles and appears as well-defined white patches on the skin.

This study introduced a novel, weakly supervised method for segmenting hair in Scanning Electron Microscope images using simple image-level annotations, achieving over 30% improvement in mean Hausdorff Distance compared to Unet and SAM, while enhancing interpretability and refinement.

In this research, experienced clinicians noted inconsistency in the reproducibility of the commonly used Hamilton-Ludwig scales for assessing pattern hair loss severity in photographic assessments, leading to the proposal of a new 5-point scale for staging female hair loss.

This study at Al-Azhar University Hospitals found that combining a fractional CO2 laser or microneedling with topical 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is more effective and safe for treating vitiligo than using either treatment alone, offering a new therapeutic option for patients.

In this study, vitiligo patients treated with a combination of fractional CO2 laser or microneedling followed by topical 5-Fluorouracil experienced more effective and safe outcomes compared to using either method alone.

This study found that hair from the vertex posterior is a reliable sampling region for detecting zolpidem intake, showing consistent drug concentration and peak position compared to other scalp regions.

In this study, the combination of topical minoxidil 5% and betamethasone valerate 0.1% achieved slightly higher depigmentation in vitiligo of hair-bearing areas but did not show significant improvement over betamethasone valerate alone.

This segment on Dateline NBC investigated a US hair restoration clinic using hidden cameras, but the article reports no new research findings.
