This study reviewed scalp biopsies from African-American patients, identifying distinct features and diagnostic clues for scarring alopecia types such as traction alopecia and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

This study successfully used ATR FT-IR spectroscopy to uniquely identify or differentiate human hairs by detecting specific spectral features associated with individual hair characteristics and cosmetic residues on hair surfaces.

Transverse sections are better for non-scarring hair loss, vertical sections are better for lichen planopilaris, and either method works for other scarring hair loss types.

This study found that a family history of androgenetic alopecia and specific trichoscopic features are key factors in predicting female pattern hair loss, and the developed nomogram model may help improve disease management by assessing these risks.

This study observed that pigmented casts are present in various alopecia types but are not specific to any single diagnosis, with distinct morphological features noted in trichotillomania.

This study shows that multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively distinguish between scarring and non-scarring alopecia by identifying certain morphological features, but further research is needed to confirm its clinical utility.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose a teenage girl's hair loss as monilethrix.

This case report describes a patient with lichen nitidus whose lesions improved following treatment with oral astemizole and topical steroids, although spontaneous resolution remains a possibility.

Combining scalp photos with hair density and caliber measurements gives a more accurate assessment of hair loss.

This study highlights the lack of direct evidence to differentiate between alopecia areata and androgenic alopecia but underscores the importance of clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathologic evaluations for accurate diagnosis, particularly when symptoms overlap.

This article reviews the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of Trichothiodystrophy and discusses the associated DNA repair defects, but does not report new clinical findings.

This study found that infrared thermography might be a useful non-invasive tool to help diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by identifying active phases of the disease.

This article is a letter discussing a clinicopathologic study of 90 cases of trichofolliculoma and reports no new results.

Panoramic Trichoscopy is a new, better way to assess widespread hair loss.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

This study suggests that low-cost videomicroscopes may inaccurately assess certain features in hair and scalp disorders compared to standard videodermatoscopy, limiting their reliability for trichoscopy.

This report describes how ultraviolet-induced fluorescence dermoscopy helped accurately diagnose scalp disorders, specifically alopecia areata and tinea capitis, in pediatric patients.

This review systematically analyzed literature to differentiate desmoplastic trichoepitheliomas from other cutaneous tumors based on clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features but reports no new clinical results.

The researchers observed that in cases of alopecia areata with atypical features, histopathological confirmation may be necessary, as trichoscopic clues like loss of follicle ostia and vellus hairs were common, while typical features such as exclamation mark hairs were not always present.

This report describes a rare case of alopecia areata coexisting with primary scarring alopecia, diagnosed through detailed trichoscopic investigation, highlighting the importance of comprehensive examination for accurate diagnosis.

This study reports a unique case of trichotillomania incognita in an adult female that mimicked female pattern hair loss, highlighting the importance of trichoscopy and histology for accurate diagnosis.

This article reviews various diagnostic tools for hair disorders, describing methods ranging from invasive to noninvasive, but reports no new research findings or clinical results.

This study consolidates information on the unique structural and functional biology of Indian hair, reporting distinct scalp microbial ecology and trichoscopic parameters, which are important for diagnosing and treating hair conditions in Indian populations.

This case report details the immunohistochemical study of cytokeratins in a trichofolliculoma, providing insights but no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that for single biopsy specimens, transverse sections may be preferable for diagnosing noncicatricial alopecia, while vertical sections may be better for suspected lichen planopilaris.

This review suggests that hyperspectral and terahertz imaging show promise in non-invasively assessing scalp changes associated with hair loss, but further validation is needed for clinical application.

This review discusses various non-invasive methods for diagnosing alopecia areata, highlighting that trichoscopy signs like short vellus hairs and yellow dots are sensitive indicators of the condition, while advanced imaging techniques provide valuable information on hair follicle status and scalp inflammation.

In this study, the varied phenotype of trichothiodystrophy was highlighted, with findings of distinctive hair shaft abnormalities and a wide range of multisystem issues, including neurologic and urologic disorders.

In this study, trichoscopy was identified as an effective tool for diagnosing trichotillomania in children, and a multidisciplinary, individualized approach along with family support was deemed essential for managing the condition and achieving sustained remission.
