This review discusses the use of finasteride for treating hidradenitis suppurativa and reports favorable outcomes in several cases, suggesting it could be an effective and safe option for certain patients.

This case study reports a 38-year-old epileptic man with tufted hair folliculitis that persisted despite various antibiotic treatments, showing transient improvement followed by recurrence.

This study describes a new two-step method for effectively removing hair particles from split-thickness skin grafts from the scalp, potentially preventing foreign-body reactions at recipient sites.

In this study, female pattern hair loss was prevalent in 28.6% of secondary school girls, with higher rates in rural areas and associations with family history, irregular menses, thyroid disease, and hirsutism.

This study observed that hirsute females displayed increased S-phase hair bulb cells and decreased G0/1-phase cells compared to healthy females, with a strong correlation between S-phase percentages and DHEA-S levels.

This case report details a 77-year-old man with Parkinson's disease and androgenic alopecia who underwent deep brain stimulation surgery, involving frontal scalp incisions and subcutaneous wire tunneling.

This case report describes a 64-year-old woman with male pattern hair loss and elevated testosterone levels, who was diagnosed with an androgen-secreting adrenal tumor and successfully treated with laparoscopic adrenalectomy.

Hair grafts improved the look of a man's leg after an accident and the patient was happy with the results.

This study found that PGRP-S expression in mouse epidermis is specific to certain hair follicle epithelia, depending on the skin region, and can be transiently induced in flank skin hair follicle epithelium after exposure to Staphylococcus aureus, suggesting a role in environmental surveillance.

This review examines various methods for assessing hair growth in women, highlighting the usefulness of the mFG visual scoring method for diagnosing hirsutism despite its limitations.

This study found that administering Finasteride for two weeks before surgery significantly reduced intraoperative blood loss in patients undergoing monopolar TURP, with the interventional group experiencing less mean blood loss and shorter operative times compared to the control group.

This review covers the history, incidence, and treatment options for pseudofolliculitis barbae and presents new data, but reports no new clinical results.

In this review, the authors discuss various skin conditions linked to hyperandrogenism, such as acne and alopecia, with a focus on androgen-targeted therapies, suggesting these are generally more effective than non-androgen-targeted options.

Hyperandrogenism in women often causes acne and excess hair, treatable with lifestyle changes and medications.

In this study, researchers found that the human hair follicle microbiota vary by anatomical compartment and donor age, with specific microbes like S. epidermidis potentially influencing hair follicle functions, which suggests new avenues for therapeutic targeting.

The study concluded that long-term finasteride pretreatment significantly reduces intraoperative and postoperative blood loss in patients undergoing transurethral resection of an enlarged prostate, whereas short-term pretreatment does not.

This case report details a rare large epidermal cyst over the sacrumcoccygeal region in an elderly patient, which was successfully removed surgically.

This article discusses the potential of using ultrasonography to assess hair and follicular pathology non-invasively and reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights that robotic hair transplantation reliably and efficiently extracts follicular units with transection rates comparable to manual methods, potentially allowing more physicians to offer hair restoration without needing additional staff, and notes ongoing software advancements that could enhance aesthetic results.

This study found that pigmented vellus and upright regrowing hairs are the only predictive trichoscopic markers of hair regrowth in patients with alopecia totalis and universalis.

This study suggests that the presence of more than six vellus hairs in the frontal scalp at 20-fold magnification can be an additional criterion for diagnosing early female pattern hair loss.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.

This edition of the journal reviews major advances in hair restoration surgery, documenting increased popularity and technique improvements, but reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight ongoing challenges and call for balanced patient counseling.

This study found that among patients over 45 with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia, those with androgenic alopecia had worse symptoms and higher testosterone levels than those without baldness.

TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.

The document does not confirm if radical prostatectomy is the best treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer.

This study found that in hair follicles, androgen receptor expression is stronger in the hair loss and transitional areas compared to the occipital region, suggesting a role in male pattern baldness.

In this study, preoperative use of finasteride was associated with reduced blood loss and vascular endothelial growth factor expression during TURP, suggesting a potential benefit in preventing transurethral resection syndrome.

This abstract discusses the growing popularity of follicular unit extraction in hair restoration surgery but offers no clinical findings.
