This study established and validated a visual scale to assess hair shedding in women with thick hair, finding it effective in distinguishing greater hair loss among women with female pattern hair loss compared to those without.

This study concluded that there is no association between male pattern baldness and the severity or presence of coronary artery disease as measured by Gensini and Rentrop scores.

This study reports that low levels of HDL cholesterol and IGF-1 were associated with a higher risk of hair loss in middle-aged women, but causal relationships remain uncertain.

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia at age 20 years may have a higher risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer, particularly advanced stage disease.

In this observational study, the combination of PRP and 5% minoxidil was more effective than minoxidil alone in promoting hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study presents a new survey instrument that was cognitively tested for understanding menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess, including hirsutism, alopecia, and acne.

Finasteride helps improve hair growth in men with hair loss but may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction.

This study aimed to determine if MRI can assess anatomical changes in the scalp caused by androgenetic alopecia, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study assessed patient satisfaction and hair retention in 15 individuals with alopecia treated with Biofibre ® 4.0 artificial hair implants, finding high levels of satisfaction and excellent biocompatibility, with no significant adverse reactions reported after one year.

In this study of female patients with chronic telogen effluvium, 86% had low serum ferritin levels despite only 32% having anemia, suggesting a potential link between low iron stores and this type of hair loss.

This study reports that a prototype device may accurately measure changes in hair quantity, diameter, and density in patients with balding by assessing the cross-sectional area of hair bundles.

This workshop review from the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society discusses findings in cutaneous biology and endocrinology but presents no new research results.

In this study conducted at Saveetha Dental College, researchers found that the severity of male androgenetic alopecia, as graded by Norwood's classification, increased with age, although other factors such as genetic or hormonal influences were not assessed.

In this observational study, men with early onset androgenic alopecia exhibited a statistically significant correlation with more severe forms of coronary artery disease compared to those without the condition.

This study found a strong association between insulin resistance and early androgenetic alopecia in males, with insulin resistance increasing alongside alopecia severity and influenced by factors like smoking.

This study concluded that current cross-sex hormone treatments for trans men and trans women are effective with a low risk of side effects in the short term, though they did observe specific clinical changes.

This review discusses advances in protecting against chemotherapy-induced alopecia and reports no new clinical results; calcitriol and cyclosporine A emerged as promising agents in animal models with broader efficacy across multiple chemotherapy drugs.

This study found that oral JAK inhibitors, ruxolitinib and tofacitinib, are effective and well-tolerated for treating severe alopecia areata, with a similar degree of hair regrowth and relapse rates, but ruxolitinib induced faster initial hair regrowth.

This study found that low-dose oral minoxidil 5 mg daily significantly increased hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, with increased hair count and vertex area improvement, though most experienced hypertrichosis and some had pedal edema.

This review covers various aspects of hair biology, pigmentation, and development, focusing on genetic and biochemical modulation of hair follicle components but reports no new findings.

This systematic review assessed cyclosporine's effectiveness with or without corticosteroids for treating alopecia areata, finding combined therapy more effective and with a lower recurrence rate than monotherapy, especially for severe cases, though results varied by alopecia type.

This meta-analysis suggests that any pattern of male baldness may be associated with a decreased risk of testicular cancer, with stage II hair loss providing the strongest protective effect.

This study found that carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of cattle hair reflects dietary and farm system differences, offering insights into cattle nutritional ecology and agroecosystem characteristics.

This Delphi consensus study provides expert insights into hair aging, aims to enhance diagnostic precision and management of age-related hair changes, and identifies possible new therapeutic targets.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic signs are strong predictors of female pattern hair loss, leading to a nomogram model for risk prediction.

This thesis explores both environmental and genetic factors in prostate cancer, focusing on surrogate hormone markers, medical radiation, family history, and genetic polymorphisms related to DNA repair and hormone marker genes, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found a significant association between androgenetic alopecia and metabolic syndrome, highlighting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a particularly important factor.

This article discusses treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting that medical interventions like finasteride and minoxidil can halt and partially reverse hair loss in mild to moderate cases, especially when combined with surgery.

This study found that combining oral finasteride with topical minoxidil resulted in the greatest improvement in hair growth for male patients with androgenetic alopecia, compared to using any single treatment.

In this study, a photographic scale and questionnaire revealed that extensive central scalp hair loss was observed in 5.6% of African American women, with an association to a history of tinea capitis.
