This research reports that partial orthokeratology combined with daytime spectacle correction effectively slowed myopic progression in high myopes, with a 63% reduction in axial elongation compared to spectacle use alone.

In this study, more than 25% of children experienced axial length shortening greater than 0.05 mm/year following repeated low-level red-light therapy.

This study suggests that breast cancer-associated phospholipids may alter the X-ray diffraction pattern of hair, potentially enabling the development of a sensitive and specific screening test for breast cancer.

This article discusses the potential of intralesional cidofovir for treating SCC without systemic toxicity, noting that surgical excision remains the best treatment option; it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that using a dermoscope, a handheld microscope, can effectively help distinguish between Pityrosporum folliculitis and Acne vulgaris by revealing unique lesion characteristics that are not visible to the naked eye, offering a practical diagnostic alternative when KOH examinations are unavailable.

In this study, researchers used Raman spectroscopy to identify melanin-specific features in mouse hair as potential biomarkers for gamma-radiation exposure, achieving a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 83%, with classification accuracy declining over time beyond 7 days post-irradiation.

This review discusses the effects of visible light on human skin, highlighting its role in pigmentation, thermal damage, and the treatment of several skin conditions, while noting limited sunscreen protection against it; no new clinical results are reported.

A specific hair diffraction pattern may indicate breast cancer if tested with the correct method.

The method effectively maps lead and zinc in hair, aiding understanding of heavy metal exposure risks.

This case report describes dermoscopic features of pemphigus vulgaris on the scalp, highlighting that hair casts may suggest treatment adjustment for improved disease control.

This study highlights confocal microscopy as a promising, minimally invasive tool for assessing hair morphology and internal structures, making it valuable for cosmetic hair assessments.

This study discusses using SEM/EDX for elemental analysis of hair samples in forensic science but notes challenges in detecting certain trace elements from raw hair.

This study found that trichoscopic examination is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with severe diffuse non-scarring alopecia indicating active disease.

The study improved understanding of keratin fiber structure by showing consistent microfibril diameter but varying distances and electron density profiles.

This study suggests that hair analysis detecting trace elements like copper and iron may help in screening for diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma and osteoporosis, due to altered element concentrations in patients.

This report suggests that spectral-analysis of feathers may identify toxic mineral exposure in birds, as illustrated by a cockatoo with feather loss showing high levels of aluminum and cadmium.

This review discusses the application of trichoscopy in diagnosing various hair and scalp diseases and reports no new clinical results; the authors emphasize its role as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

This chapter reviews surface plasmon resonance (SPR) methodology and its applications in basic science and human disease without reporting new clinical results.

This exchange discusses interpretations of syphilitic chancres, noting disagreement over whether multiple lesions are atypical given historical references that describe primary chancres as often being single.

This study found that monochromatic excimer light achieved complete remission in over 50% of plaque psoriasis cases and various levels of improvement in other skin conditions, including vitiligo and mycosis fungoides.

This study used ultrahigh-resolution optical coherence tomography to observe hair shaft structures, finding melanin granules absent only in white hair, which may explain color differences between black and white hair.

In this study, researchers suggest that digital microscopy using visible light could offer a more objective approach to diagnosing hirsutism by quantifying terminal hair, with future research needed to assess its usefulness in women with the condition.

In this study, the researchers found that the picosecond pulsed alexandrite laser (PSAL) may be as effective and safe as the Q-switched alexandrite laser (QSAL) for treating freckles in Chinese patients.

This report found follicular red dots in patients with scalp pigmentary disorders, suggesting they might be linked to the scalp's vascular structure and may have implications for conditions like discoid lupus erythematosus.

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

This article explores the theoretical foundations of the ChromaLens Precision Mapping system for analyzing hair, but it does not present any new experimental findings.

This study found that in Japanese, German, and American females, changes in hair lipid patterns with age may reflect alterations in sebum excretion and affect hair texture.

This case report suggests that intralesional cidofovir successfully treated SCC without systemic toxicity, making it a potential alternative to consider alongside surgical excision.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.
