Asthma may increase the risk of alopecia areata.

This study found that hair cortisol did not indicate expected hypercortisolism in acutely underweight anorexia nervosa patients and did not change significantly during short-term weight restoration.

In this study, researchers emphasized the need for standardized definitions and improved methodologies in assessing LC prevalence, suggesting that future research explore prospective cohorts to refine estimates and examine long-term health outcomes.

In this study, researchers used Mendelian randomization to find a significant genetic association between rheumatoid arthritis and an increased risk of alopecia areata, suggesting RA patients should be vigilant for potential AA development.

This study developed a validated gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay to assess sex steroid hormones in cerebrospinal fluid, finding substantial levels of DHEA, androstenedione, and testosterone, with strong correlations to serum levels, providing insight into sex steroid dynamics in the human CNS.

The researchers developed a technique for processing and staining free hair samples using paraffin embedded blocks, revealing that routine staining does not color the enucleated cuticle, while the cortex and medulla show distinct colorations when stained.

This study found that over 97% of college students at a large Midwestern U.S. university have engaged in pubic hair removal, influenced by demographic and social factors with notable differences in preferences observed across age, gender, Greek Life affiliation, and racial/ethnic groups.

This study of fifty female patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia in Egypt found that it is a complex condition with no definitive treatment, as it often co-occurs with lichen planus and thyroid issues.

This study found that women experiencing hair loss post-COVID-19 showed significantly decreased serum copper levels, suggesting potential further research into copper supplementation for preventing and treating post-COVID-19 alopecia.

This study used Mendelian randomization analysis to identify Scyllo-inositol and Alpha-ketoglutarate as potential protective factors and Heme and 2-palmitoylglycerophosphocholine as risk factors for androgenic alopecia, suggesting a causal link between these metabolites and the condition.

In this study, a bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis found a causal link between alopecia areata and hypothyroidism, indicating that each condition may influence the other, while no similar relationship was observed between androgenetic alopecia and hypothyroidism.

This study reports that hair cortisol measurement in older Puerto Rican adults found a significant portion had non-detectable cortisol levels, especially among black participants, influencing exclusion rates in such populations.

This study reports a case of a 28-year-old woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer through bone marrow analysis using flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, highlighting the potential of flow cytometry as a valuable diagnostic tool for detecting solid tumors.

This study found that hair fibers broke down and lost keratin in extremely basic conditions, revealing the inner medulla and changing the color of the fibers.

In this study, a potentiometric titration method was developed for determining minoxidil, achieving recoveries of 97.4% to 98.7%, and it showed agreement with a chromatographic procedure at a 90% confidence level.

This study reported the development of a novel and reliable liquid chromatographic method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in human urine, offering sensitive detection for doping control.

This study found that alcoholic extracts of Cinchona succirubra, Dictamnus dasycarpus, Brassica juncea, and Sophora flavescens promoted hair growth in 5-week-old mice.

This review discusses the increasing reports of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a form of scarring alopecia, and its potential link to autoimmune disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a commercially available shampoo significantly increased hair counts and reduced hair shedding in Korean subjects with alopecia over 16 weeks.

In this Mendelian randomization study, shortened leukocyte telomere length was associated with an increased risk of androgenetic alopecia, but no causal relationship was found with alopecia areata.

This study concluded that stromal vascular fraction and topical minoxidil both improved hair characteristics in male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia, but SVF offered a more satisfactory treatment experience.

This article presents a training module for hair transplantation practice using nonliving models, including goat skin, to mitigate donor hair loss during medical training, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, the researchers developed an optimum liquid shampoo formula using chia plant components and found it to meet specific physical characteristics and stability requirements, with viscosity and foam height tested within acceptable ranges.

In this study, researchers identified an optimal shampoo formulation using Design Expert software, which showed no significant differences in viscosity and foam height, and the physical characteristics met acceptable standards, suggesting its potential for supporting hair health and preventing hair loss.

This study demonstrated that using lead-doped keratin film as a calibration standard allows for accurate tracking of lead distribution along hair strands, revealing different exposure patterns among workers in a battery manufacturing factory in Thailand.

This study presents the Italian adaptation of the ECR-M16 to assess attachment dimensions in cancer outpatients and notes that its factor structure is partly similar to the original.

In this study, heritability analyses in twins and siblings revealed that genetic factors predominantly influence hair diameter and curvature, with notable sex differences in their genetic impact.

In this study, researchers found that massively parallel sequencing of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can improve information recovery from forensic samples, with successful full region amplification possible from as few as 2,000 mtDNA copies, albeit with variability in heteroplasmy among hair samples from the same donor.
