This study suggests that trichoscopic features, such as perifollicular erythema and cicatricial white patches, are independently associated with pruritus and the severity of frontal fibrosing alopecia.

This report describes two children with congenital hypotrichosis and found their short hair is due to a shortened anagen phase, with the condition resolving spontaneously during puberty.

In this study, women with chronic telogen effluvium experienced reduced hair shedding after being treated with once daily oral minoxidil for 12 months, but facial hypertrichosis was a reported side effect, suggesting the need for further placebo-controlled research.

The authors concluded that some patients clinically diagnosed with telogen effluvium may actually have alopecia areata incognita, suggested by the presence of dystrophic hairs and development of alopecia patches.

This article describes petechiae on the fingertips as a presenting symptom of dermatitis herpetiformis but reports no new clinical results.

This study reports that the completeness of DNA degradation in hair during cornification varies among individuals and affects the success rates of forensic hair DNA analysis.

This study identified numerous size polymorphisms in the human ultrahigh sulfur KAP4 genes due to intragenic sequence variations, suggesting these polymorphisms may have arisen through deletions and duplications during evolution.

This study observed that combining high-potency steroids with pimecrolimus might effectively stabilize hairline recession in frontal fibrosing alopecia patients.

This review discusses recent advances in the genetic understanding of inherited hair and nail disorders and reports no new clinical results.

This review proposes a new classification for telogen effluvium, identifying three pathogenetic types with a common feature of profuse hair shedding, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews the toxic effects of mimosine in Leucaena leucocephala and discusses various methods to mitigate its toxicity but presents no new findings.

This study reports that subtle presentations of lichen planopilaris may be mistaken for seborrheic dermatitis in patients with androgenetic alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatoscopy-guided biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

This review discusses the complexity and genetic organization of human keratin gene clusters and addresses the ongoing need for an updated unified naming system; it reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews frontal fibrosing alopecia, exploring its characteristics, demographics, and associated conditions, and calls for controlled trials due to an increase in worldwide cases; it reports no new findings.

This review examines various conditions that resemble androgenetic alopecia, analyzing their pathogenesis and highlighting the difficulties they pose for accurate diagnosis and treatment; it reports no clinical results.

COVID-19 and related stress may increase hair loss known as Telogen effluvium.

This review summarizes the current treatment modalities for frontal fibrosing alopecia and provides a practical guide for clinicians, but reports no new clinical results.

In this case report, the authors identified giant cell arteritis as the underlying cause of bitemporal hair loss and scalp tenderness in a 70-year-old woman, initially misdiagnosed as age-related symptoms.

This article discusses traction alopecia in children and adolescents, emphasizing its occurrence due to hairstyles that exert chronic tension on hair, but reports no new findings.

This review explores the molecular controls of hair follicle cycling and highlights the challenge of developing effective treatments for common hair disorders without providing new clinical results.

This case report describes the first Indian patient diagnosed with short anagen syndrome, detailing the clinical and pathological characteristics of a 30-year-old woman with the condition.

Chemotherapy patients don't all lose their hair due to factors like hair growth rates, age, genetics, and the type of drugs used.

This report describes five cases of bitemporal alopecia areata with frontal hairline involvement, detailing their management strategies and highlighting potential differential diagnoses, but does not present new clinical results.

In this report, researchers described a 36-year-old woman with frontal fibrosing alopecia resistant to standard treatments, who showed significant improvement after six months on a combination of intralesional betamethasone and oral hydroxychloroquine, suggesting potential benefits of this therapy approach in managing the condition.

In this study of female patients with chronic telogen effluvium, 86% had low serum ferritin levels despite only 32% having anemia, suggesting a potential link between low iron stores and this type of hair loss.

This review discusses the mechanisms, causes, and treatment options for telogen effluvium, noting acute cases often resolve by addressing causative factors, while chronic forms remain challenging to treat; recent causes include post-hair transplantation, vitamin D deficiency, and COVID-19.

The authors suggest that scalp pain resulting from infestations, infections, or inflammatory diseases should be included in the next classification of headaches, as it currently lacks clear clinical characteristics and inclusion in the ICHD-3 criteria.

This study observed that among 120 patients recovering from COVID-19, severe diffuse hair loss typically began less than two months post-infection, with the majority of patients experiencing a severe degree of hair loss and positive hair pull tests, often alongside vitamin D deficiency.

This source describes the development, structure, and types of skin appendage tumors, noting both benign and malignant forms, potential associations with syndromes, and categories based on follicular differentiation.

This study found that a positive anagen pull test can be an indicator of lichen planopilaris activity, suggesting its utility in the clinical assessment of this condition.
