In this study of Andean Ecuadorian women with PCOS, phenotypes A and B were more prevalent and associated with higher risks of insulin resistance, anovulation, and metabolic disorders compared to phenotypes C and D.

This study in Saudi Arabia found that psychological stress was strongly linked to skin symptoms, with conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, rash, and baldness showing significant associations, highlighting the importance of considering stress levels when diagnosing skin issues.

In this study, researchers observed that trichoscopy could reliably identify features such as anisotrichosis and signs associated with inflammation and fibrosis in female pattern hair loss, which may aid in assessing disease severity and guiding treatment decisions.

This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.

This study found that androgenic alopecia significantly impaired quality of life among men in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, with younger males and those diagnosed by a doctor experiencing greater quality of life issues, particularly in the symptoms domain.

This study found a high prevalence of stress-related hair loss in Al Majma'ah, Saudi Arabia, particularly among females and individuals aged 31-40, with significant associations between hair loss and stress, psychosocial challenges, and sociodemographic factors.

In this study, 61.4% of females infected with COVID-19 reported hair problems, such as telogen effluvium and increased gray hair, with most cases starting or worsening post-infection as confirmed by trichoscopy.

This study found a significant negative correlation between serum SHBG levels and androgenetic alopecia severity in women, but not in men, while no significant correlation was observed for testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and vitamin D levels with hair loss severity across genders.

Minoxidil users may experience hair discoloration, especially with long-term use and a family history of gray hair.

This study found that hair loss following COVID-19 infection was frequently observed, especially in women, and awareness of post-COVID-19 acute telogen effluvium was generally low.

In this study, researchers examined the prevalence of comorbid conditions among 402 alopecia areata patients, finding that hypothyroidism was notably more frequent in women, while hyperlipidemia was more common in men, with overall thyroid function testing suggested for these patients.

In this study, tinea capitis was identified as the most common cause of noncicatricial alopecia in children, followed by alopecia areata and marginal traction alopecia. Diagnosis using trichoscopy enhanced understanding by revealing specific hair and scalp disorder characteristics.

This study found that 23.2% of surveyed dermatologists in Saudi Arabia prescribe Tofacitinib for alopecia areata, with 72.4% reporting its effectiveness, while 47.7% cited unavailability as the main reason for not prescribing.

This study analyzed online information about PCOS and found that while the accuracy of the information was generally high, the readability was poor, suggesting a need for more accessible resources for patients.

This study observed distinct dermoscopic features in pityriasis versicolor that could aid in its differentiation from similar skin disorders.

This study concluded that trichoscopy is a reliable, non-invasive, and faster diagnostic method for ambiguous cases of alopecia.

This study found that patients with COVID-19 infection lasting longer than two weeks experienced more severe post-infection hair loss, with women and older individuals particularly affected.

In this study, irregular menstruation was observed as the most common clinical manifestation of polycystic ovarian disorder in the subjects, followed by dermatologic symptoms like hirsutism and acne.

This study found that trichoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various hair disorders by identifying specific trichoscopic patterns, such as hair diameter diversity in androgenetic alopecia and exclamatory marks in alopecia areata.

This study found that lower hemoglobin and serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with male pattern hair loss in patients diagnosed with non-cicatricial alopecia.

This study found that individuals with alopecia areata had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, and lower vitamin D levels were associated with more severe hair loss.

This study found that 9.1% of surveyed previously-infected adult residents in Saudi Arabia reported skin symptoms related to COVID-19, with rashes being the most common.
