This paper discusses the use of dermatoscopy as a fast, noninvasive technique for diagnosing hair shaft disorders and reports no new results; the authors highlight its advantages over traditional microscopy methods.

Recognizing bamboo hair helps diagnose Netherton’s syndrome.

In this research, LEF1 was identified as a crucial transcription factor for submucosal gland development in mouse and ferret tracheas, though it requires other factors to induce gland formation.

In this case report, an 18-year-old male with an oral epidermoid cyst experienced trouble swallowing and respiratory distress, but recovered well following surgical removal of the cyst.

This case report describes a patient who developed localized hypertrichosis of the pinnae after undergoing orchiectomy and chemotherapy for testicular carcinoma.

This study on Antirrhinum trichomes found that stickiness in A. hispanicum is due to a recessive allele and mapped it to a specific region on Chromosome 1, while baldness in A. siculum likely involves a novel hairy allele.

This study observed that the thinning and structural abnormalities in monilethrix-affected hair occur at the internodes due to possible periodic dysfunction of the hair matrix, particularly in the cortex.

This case study describes an acquired localized form of trichorrhexis nodosa resulting from physical-chemical trauma.

This report presents the first known case of a proliferating hybrid cyst containing both epidermoid and trichilemmal components on the scrotum of a 44-year-old man.

This study suggests that the keratins found in reptile and bird skin appendages evolved independently from mammalian hair keratins, highlighting convergent evolution in these species.

This case report describes a Thai male with TRPS1 who exhibited unique and unreported features such as hypoplastic mandibular condyles, double mental foramina, and distinctive hair abnormalities.

In this study, a two-month-old dog diagnosed with scabiosis and toxocariosis showed significant clinical improvement after being treated with sarolaner and pyrantel, evidenced by resolved skin lesions, hair regrowth, and a return to normal abdominal size and oral mucosa color after 30 days.

In this report, trichoscopy was highlighted as a valuable tool for diagnosing temporal triangular alopecia in children due to its ability to reveal distinctive patterns that differentiate it from similar conditions like alopecia areata, eliminating the need for invasive biopsy.

This study found evidence suggesting that hypertrichosis may be an adverse effect of inhaled corticosteroids in children, although it does not always resolve after stopping treatment.

This case report describes a patient with pseudopelade affecting both the scalp and beard area, highlighting the unusual presentation of a rare hair disorder.

This study found that trichoscopic examination in patients with androgenetic alopecia revealed that hair shaft heterogeneity was common, while the white peripilar sign and focal atrichia were associated with more advanced disease stages in both genders.

This study reported that squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp can be extraordinarily aggressive, potentially metastasizing and causing death, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and careful treatment approaches.

Hair transplant complications were likely due to deep graft placement and rough handling.

This case report documents the second known instance of a salivary gland choristoma on the chest wall of a newborn, highlighting its benign nature and the importance of accurate diagnosis.

In this study, the authors evaluated 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia, finding that alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%) were the most prevalent causes. Trichoscopy identified unique features for each condition, enhancing diagnosis and management.

In this study, ketoconazole treatment successfully cured a dog with erythematous epilation caused by Chaetomium globosum, with new hair growth observed 9 weeks later.

This article reviews monilethrix, a rare genetic hair disorder causing brittle hair and alopecia, and emphasizes the need for clinical diagnosis and characteristic tricoscopic findings.

This report on two Indian male siblings with monilethrix highlights trichoscopy's role in diagnosing this condition, which can be complicated by early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This report describes a rare case of scalp kerion due to microsporosis in a Portuguese child, noting the unusual combination with other microsporid features and treatment details.

In this study conducted from September to November 2023, researchers used trichoscopy to accurately diagnose cicatricial alopecias by revealing unique patterns, reducing the need for biopsies, and proving to be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic method.

This study involved using smartphone applications and low-cost trichoscopy devices to assess various hair and scalp conditions, with diagnoses confirmed through detailed imaging during remote consultations and in-person evaluations.

This study documented that symmetrical, noninflammatory alopecia in schipperkes is associated with hormonal abnormalities and hair cycle arrest, resembling Alopecia X clinically and histologically.

This case report describes an instance of hair thread tourniquet syndrome in an infant, successfully treated through surgical release of the constricting hair.
