This source discusses the diagnosis and treatment of Tinea capitis in children, highlighting that Trichophyton tonsurans is the prevalent cause in the UK and that terbinafine is an effective treatment option.

This study found that mitotane causes specific changes in cortisol metabolism, including increased excretion of certain metabolites, which may influence cortisol bioavailability without hindering early detection of adrenocortical carcinoma recurrence.

This review discusses recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune alopecia areata and reports no new clinical results; it highlights potential for developing more effective treatments.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

In this chemical investigation, cyclospongiaquinone 1 from the sponge Verongula cf. rigida showed strong steroid 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, comparable to that of finasteride.

This study found that among 17 beta-(N-ureylene-N,N'-disubstituted)-4-azasteroids, those with an N'-phenyl moiety were the most effective inhibitors of human type I 5 alpha-reductase.

This study identified 8-hydroxy germacrene B from Curcuma aeruginosa as a highly potent in-vitro 5-alpha reductase inhibitor with significant anti-androgenic activity, while exhibiting mild cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells without affecting human dermal papilla cells at tested concentrations.

This report describes a rare case of alopecia areata coexisting with primary scarring alopecia, diagnosed through detailed trichoscopic investigation, highlighting the importance of comprehensive examination for accurate diagnosis.

This article reviews current understanding of the causes and treatments of three common hair growth disorders in children but reports no new results.

This study found that most dermatologists in the Middle East manage mild to severe alopecia areata primarily with potent topical corticosteroids and identified long-term disease control and improved efficacy as key unmet needs.

The man's occipital hair loss was due to temporal triangular alopecia, not alopecia areata.

The document concludes that various hypersensitivity diseases in horses can be diagnosed and treated with methods like immunotherapy and medication, and early aggressive treatment is crucial for severe diseases like equine cutaneous pythiosis.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

Severe digestive issues in DRESS need early endoscopy for better treatment.

This review discusses different forms and patterns of alopecia associated with lupus erythematosus and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight distinct features of these conditions.

The document suggests improvements for a hair and scalp disease book and recommends a two-volume skin surgery reference for dermatologists.

This study reported that while no synthesized compounds surpassed finasteride in 5α-reductase inhibitory activity, certain 4-azasteroid-2-oximes exhibited notable inhibition.

The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
