August 2018 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” Regular follow-up visits, especially with dermatologists, can lower death rates for melanoma patients, with socioeconomic factors also affecting outcomes.
March 2018 in “Trends in Immunotherapy” In this study, triamcinolone acetonide injections led to partial hair regrowth in 60% of alopecia totalis patients, suggesting potential benefits when followed by immunotherapy.
This review discusses the use of hair microscopy in diagnosing hair-related conditions, highlighting techniques and common applications, but presents no new experimental results.
October 2012 in “Ain-Shams Journal of Surgery” This study found that inserting follicular units in a specific direction during hair restoration surgery did not improve natural-looking outcomes, as hair could be styled freely with regular combing.
December 2021 in “Cureus” This study found that for managing early-onset androgenetic alopecia in men, minoxidil monotherapy is cost-effective at a $50,000 willingness-to-pay threshold, while combining minoxidil with platelet-rich plasma becomes cost-effective at a $100,000 threshold.
This study found that the patient receiving microneedling and platelet-rich plasma treatment showed earlier significant improvements and high satisfaction compared to the patient treated with microneedling and topical minoxidil.
January 2020 in “Skinmed” In this study, microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma led to earlier improvements and high patient satisfaction in a man with androgenic alopecia, compared to microneedling with topical minoxidil.
April 2026 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” This study found that treating moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis with dupilumab significantly improved itch severity, skin condition, and quality of life over 104 weeks, with a favorable safety profile, even in elderly and comorbid patients.
