This study introduces the PRECISE scale, a quantitative tool to classify androgenetic alopecia, aiming to improve planning and outcomes for hair transplantation surgeries by evaluating the whole hairless and thinning areas.

In a study involving adults with mild to moderate dandruff, researchers observed that post-hair wash interventions significantly reduced dandruff as measured by three assessment methods, showing substantial reliability and correlation, which supports their use in clinical settings for evaluating scalp dandruff treatments.

Psoriasis patients experience moderate functional impairment related to disease severity and less satisfaction.

In this study, researchers developed a new 6-point scale for evaluating heat damage to hair from straighteners, finding a strong correlation between technical damage measurements and human perception of hair damage.

This article updates a diagnostic tool (SALT II) for assessing hair loss by adding more precise measurements of scalp surface area, particularly useful for various types of alopecia.

This study found that a new 3D image analysis method from SEM images enables quick and accurate measurement of cuticle scale heights in hair fibers.

This study reports that in systemic sclerosis, CD34+ dermal fibroblasts transition to CD34−, podoplanin+, and CD90+ fibroblasts across the dermis, suggesting a role in unchecked fibrosis.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

This study developed a new semiquantitative grading scale for frontal and vertex androgenetic alopecia, which was found to be more sensitive and objective than existing classifications.

This study evaluated donor area scars in hair restoration using a new assessment scale and found that most patients had good quality scars, with average scores of 15 or less out of 40.

This study reports that even minimal improvements in SLE-related fatigue and skin symptoms are meaningful to patients, supporting the content validity of the FACIT-Fatigue scale for measuring these effects.

In this study, a computer-aided imaging system accurately measured the width of balding areas in female pattern hair loss, correlating strongly with clinical staging severity.

This study found that the SAAD-41 is a validated tool for assessing psychosocial outcomes in individuals with alopecia areata, showing strong correlations with established measures of quality of life and coping.

This study established a standardized in-vitro 3D skin model using adult diseased skin cells to investigate the underlying mechanisms of small fiber neuropathies, providing a foundation for further research into their pathophysiology.

This study introduces a spherical skin model that effectively mimics key features of human skin, offering a scalable and rapid alternative for non-animal dermatological and cosmetic testing.

A new reliable scale improves accuracy in measuring hair density and treatment response.

This tool was developed to enhance reproducibility and sensitivity in measuring partial hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients, particularly those undergoing JAK inhibitor therapy, using scalp photographs.

This study suggests that UMPP activation is a key signaling pathway in differentiating primary and secondary hair follicles in cashmere goats.

This study found that miR-23b and miR-133 significantly reduce mRNA and protein levels of specific target genes involved in Merino sheep hair follicle development, providing insight into molecular breeding for fine wool production.

This study suggests that distinct alopecia scoring systems measure percent hair loss as a common underlying feature, with strong correlations observed between different types of hair loss assessments.

This study found that self-assessed mFG and Hirsuta scores have low specificity for diagnosing hirsutism in clinical settings, though they may still be useful for screening in epidemiological studies.

This study found that fibromyalgia prevalence is slightly higher in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus compared to those with arthritis, but fibromyalgia-ness does not bias the SLE Activity Questionnaire.

This study developed and initially validated the Scale of Alopecia Areata Distress (SAAD), a 41-item tool designed to measure psychosocial distress among US adults with alopecia areata.

This review of facial feminization surgery literature suggests it is generally safe and satisfactory for patients, though more research is needed to establish best practices and quality-of-life outcomes.

This article reviews keratosis follicularis squamosa, a keratinizing disorder predominantly found in the Japanese population, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that using planimetric surface area measurement might be a useful supplementary method to improve the accuracy of SALT scoring in alopecia areata, particularly for scores S1 to S3.

This study found that the scalp coverage scoring (SCS) method is a non-invasive and reproducible technique that effectively measures hair growth and loss dynamics in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers developed an open-source browser-based tool to enhance the reproducibility and accuracy of SALT score calculations from scalp photos, aimed particularly at assessing partial regrowth in alopecia areata patients on JAK inhibitor therapy.

This study presents a validated questionnaire, the FFA-QLI, which effectively assesses and differentiates the quality of life impact among patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia, showing greater sensitivity in identifying severe cases than the DLQI.

This paper presents consensus guidelines for standardized diagnostic criteria and assessment methods for frontal fibrosing alopecia to improve clinical research and data collection globally.
