This review discusses potential mechanisms and treatments for trichodynia, noting a lack of strong literature support and reporting no new clinical results; the authors highlight several hypotheses and available treatment options.

This study reports that the TrichoScan method effectively measures hair growth parameters and detected significant improvements in hair counts and thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia after finasteride treatment.

Recognizing bamboo hair helps diagnose Netherton’s syndrome.

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.

This article discusses the rare condition of hypertrichosis, highlighting a case of a 10-year-old boy with congenital hair growth and emphasizing the need for patient support due to limited treatment options.

This case report describes a 65-year-old man diagnosed with a trichofolliculoma, a benign tumor originating from hair follicles, which appeared as a persistent pore on his cheek.

This case report describes a 4-year-old patient with complete hair loss and keratotic papules, leading to a diagnosis of atrichia with papular lesions, underscoring diagnostic challenges in resource-limited settings and suggesting a clinical framework for identifying this condition, especially in consanguineous families.

This study found that a unique transglutaminase in guinea pig hair-follicles, distinct from liver transglutaminase, likely plays a role in forming protein cross-links via ε(γ-glutamyl)lysine bonds.

This study reviewed tinea capitis cases in children at a dermatology clinic from 1977-1988, finding Trichophyton violaceum as the most common pathogen, with Moroccan immigrant children being the largest affected group.

This paper reviews trichostasis spinulosa and presents a case in a 13-year-old girl, providing no new clinical research results.

This study demonstrated that the tracheal xenotransplant procedure is an effective technique for assessing the invasiveness of epidermal keratinocytes and studying factors affecting hair follicle formation.

This case report described a seven-year-old with tinea capitis, which improved clinically after six weeks of griseofulvin treatment, changing the fungal strain from Trichophyton violaceum white variant to violet strain.

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.

In this abstract, the issue of "microinflammation" in hair follicles, central to androgenetic alopecia, is described as involving an inflammatory process with Langerhans cells and keratinocytes presenting antigens to T lymphocytes, leading to an immune response with macrophages or natural killer cells destroying these antigens.

This case study reported a rare infection by Trichosporon inkin, causing white piedra in a family in Southern Brazil, emphasizing the importance of molecular tools for precise identification.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

Monilethrix is a rare, inherited condition causing fragile hair and hair loss, with no cure but some treatments may help.

This study examined patients with trichostasis spinulosa and identified distinct differences in the distribution and microscopic appearances of lesions compared to keratosis pilaris and eruptive vellus hair cysts.

This article highlights the rising recognition of tinea capitis in children, noting a shift from Microsporum to Trichophyton tonsurans as the main causative agent, with potential implications for day-care centers.

This study reports that congenital triangular alopecia, which can be misdiagnosed as other conditions, lacks effective treatment and generally requires no therapeutic intervention.

This case report details two siblings with trichothiodystrophy, identifying reduced hair sulfur content as essential for diagnosis despite varied symptoms complicating recognition.

This study found that mutations in exon 3 of the hr gene are strongly associated with congenital hypotrichosis in Valle del Belice sheep, suggesting a potential genetic link to the disorder.

This review discusses the diagnostic features of androgenetic alopecia through trichoscopy and reports no clinical results; it emphasizes hair shaft variability and yellow dots as key indicators.

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 review discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of hair shaft disorders and suggests diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and light microscopy, but reports no new clinical results.

This review highlights that diagnosing cicatricial alopecia, a hair loss condition linked to several autoimmune diseases, requires trichoscopy and histopathological examination to differentiate it from similar conditions, with early diagnosis being crucial for effective management.

This study reported detailed three-dimensional ultrastructural observations of human hair and hair follicles using a modified preparation method, including morphological differences in hair bulb cell layers and surface projections on root sheath cells.

This study reports the first case of atrichia with papular lesions in a Taiwanese family without a detectable mutation in the HR gene.
