This study found that videodermoscopy reveals distinct dermoscopic features in patients with alopecia areata incognita, aiding in biopsy decisions by identifying the appropriate sampling area and potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures.

This review presents various trichoscopic findings for diagnosing alopecia areata but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing that no single marker is pathognomonic and multiple features should be considered together.

The authors concluded that trichoscopic examination can be useful for diagnosing syphilitic alopecia in patients with idiopathic alopecia, though the findings are nonspecific and further studies are needed.

This case report describes the trichoscopic and histological features observed in a 7-year-old boy with morphea en coup de sabre and details the positive response to systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

This article discusses alopecia areata incognito, highlighting its diffuse hair loss pattern and favorable response to steroid treatment, but it reports no new clinical data.

This case report describes a 54-year-old female erroneously treated for androgenetic alopecia with no improvement, later diagnosed with alopecia areata incognito through histopathological evaluation and appropriately treated.

This study reports that trichoscopy and histopathology can effectively diagnose alopecia areata incognito and differentiate it from telogen effluvium or androgenetic alopecia, aiding clinicians in better hair regrowth management.

This systematic review reports that acute telogen effluvium may occur as a stress-induced hair loss following COVID-19 recovery, with most patients experiencing hair regrowth over time.

This study found that yellow dots were the most common trichoscopic finding in adult patients with alopecia areata, observed in 88.5% of cases.

In this study, researchers characterized alopecia areata incognita in men, finding that all 29 male patients had concurrent androgenetic alopecia, and treatment with ultra-potent topical corticosteroids and minoxidil led to remission in 4-8 months.

This study observed that Egyptian women with a history of COVID-19 infection frequently experienced telogen effluvium, indicating the importance of considering COVID-19 history in patients presenting with hair loss.

In this study, both excimer light and low level light therapy were found to be safe and effective for treating alopecia areata, with excimer light showing better and more sustained improvement.

This study reports that the peptide GPIGS, found in Bacillus sp. M18 conditioned medium, may promote hair growth through the PI-3K/Akt pathway and accelerate hair regrowth in mice.

In this study, intralesional pentoxifylline was found to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for alopecia areata, showing significant improvements in hair loss with minimal side effects and a low recurrence rate among the 50 patients tested over 12 weeks.

This study found a significant association between COVID-19 hospitalizations and acute telogen effluvium in Egyptian women, emphasizing the importance of considering recent COVID-19 infections when evaluating hair loss in this population.

This study found that the pituitary gland is crucial for normal pelage color cycles in weasels, with certain hormones influencing regrowth of pigmented or white hair after molting.

In this study, trichoscopy was identified as a valuable diagnostic tool for alopecia areata, revealing that specific hair features like yellow dots and short vellus hairs help assess disease activity and phase, with diagnosis relying on multiple combined signs rather than a single indicator.

This article reviews the Directory of Open Access Journals, an extensive global index of quality open access journals, and reports no new results.

Perinevoid alopecia can be effectively treated with non-invasive corticosteroids.

In this study, tapering prednisone followed by 2% topical minoxidil helped limit hair loss in some patients with alopecia areata, with 30% to 47% showing over 25% hair regrowth initially.

This case report documents the youngest recorded instance of a linear variant of alopecia areata in a 4-year-old child, highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of this clinical presentation and noting its possible association with favorable prognosis, though further evidence is needed.

This study found that pigmented vellus and upright regrowing hairs are the only predictive trichoscopic markers of hair regrowth in patients with alopecia totalis and universalis.

This study found that manipulating SIMK expression in alfalfa affects root hair growth, infection thread and nodule formation, and overall plant biomass, highlighting its potential biotechnological applications.

In this study, severe diffuse hair loss in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus was associated with distinct clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological features, which improved alongside treatment of the underlying condition.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy in diagnosing and managing pediatric hair and scalp disorders and reports no new experimental findings.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

This study found that in lactating Holstein cows, hair from the tail switch, which grows faster and is more sensitive to cortisol changes, is ideal for measuring hair cortisol levels.

This review discusses the dermoscopic features of common hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results, aiming to assist dermatologists in diagnosing conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata.

This study found that hair cortisol concentration is a promising stress indicator in cattle but not in pigs, where external factors and lower cortisol response may interfere with its validity.

This case report describes the first documented occurrence of pili torti in a healthy young adult cat, marked by noninflammatory and nonpruritic symmetrical multifocal alopecia.
