Examining scalp biopsies in different ways helps better diagnose hair loss types.

This study found that hair density is significantly lower in African Americans compared to whites, which may affect the evaluation and diagnosis of scalp biopsy specimens in this population.

This review discusses the role of dermoscopy in diagnosing hair and scalp disorders, noting its ability to aid in differential diagnosis without the need for biopsies; it reports no new clinical results.

The document says that there are treatments for hair and nail diseases.

In this study, women experiencing hair thinning who consumed tailored botanical-based nutraceuticals saw significant increases in linear hair growth rate and other hair health parameters over 90 and 180 days, supporting their effectiveness across different life stages.

This study found that Dr. SKS Hair Booster Serum significantly improved hair shaft diameter, terminal hair counts, and hair growth rate in women with PCOS experiencing female pattern hair loss, without any reported adverse events, over a six-month treatment period.

This review discusses the application of low-level light therapy for hair loss treatment, particularly androgenetic alopecia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest consideration of light source characteristics and potential pros and cons.

This study developed and validated an objective dermoscopic severity score for evaluating female pattern hair loss, which may serve as a supplementary outcome measure in therapeutic trials.

The robotic system for hair restoration surgery works well, giving similar results to manual techniques after 9 months.

This study found that transverse sections of scalp biopsies showing lower anagen:non-anagen hair ratios and presence of pigment casts help differentiate alopecia areata from androgenetic alopecia.

This case report describes a rare instance where scalp psoriasis mimicked severe alopecia, initially misdiagnosed as central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This article discusses the structure of hair follicles and their significance in evaluating hair disorders, but it does not report any new research findings.

This article reviews various topics discussed at a workshop on hair disorders, focusing on hair biology, diagnosis, and challenges in therapy evaluation, without presenting new clinical findings.

This article reviews common causes of hair loss, noting that a well-directed history and examination are often sufficient for diagnosis, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article discusses patient selection and procedural design for hair transplant surgery without reporting new clinical results; it also considers how hair transplant designs can align with various hairstyles.

The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.

This study found that 12 cycles of chlormadinone acetate in hormonal contraceptives significantly improved oily skin and hair quality, enhancing psychosocial well-being in healthy women.

The occipital scalp is affected in advanced hair loss, so it shouldn't be used as a control.

This study reported that a single-session scalp procedure combining several components, including PRP and botulinum toxin, was associated with significant improvements in hair thickness and reduced vellus hair proportion in androgenetic alopecia patients, although further controlled trials are needed to establish causation.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide is more effective and faster than platelet-rich plasma in promoting hair regrowth for scalp alopecia areata.

This study reports that mesenchymal stromal cell-derived extracellular vesicle injections led to complete hair regrowth in a patient with persistent chemotherapy-induced alopecia.

Women with androgenetic alopecia have fewer terminal hairs, phenol in nail surgery is safe, and a new hair transplant method is faster and less damaging.

Bicalutamide may improve hair growth in postmenopausal women with mild side effects.

In this clinical trial, adding topical calcipotriol to intralesional triamcinolone acetonide significantly increased hair regrowth efficacy in scalp alopecia areata patches compared to steroids alone, but not in beard patches, with a lower incidence of atrophy observed.

This study observed that vellus hairs and empty spaces are present in prepubertal children's scalps, but they likely do not indicate androgenetic alopecia, suggesting a natural 'true resting' phase of scalp hair.

This study reported significant improvements in hair density and growth ratio in androgenetic alopecia patients receiving concentrated growth factor injections, with benefits sustained for 6 months.

This study in Chennai, India, found that while some trichoscopic patterns are specific, many overlap across different scalp dermatoses, highlighting the importance of dermatologists staying informed about the latest findings.

This article discusses a hypothesis on the evolutionary reasons for the specific preservation pattern of occipito-parietal hair in androgenetic alopecia and reports no new experimental results.

This hypothesis proposes that the preserved zone in androgenetic alopecia, used as a donor area in hair restoration, retained its ancestral follicular cover due to stronger purifying selection against solar exposure.

Minoxidil solution and foam both increase hair growth, but the solution works better than the foam.
