This review discusses methods to better identify unsafe donor areas in patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia, emphasizing non-surgical management when specific diagnostic criteria are met, but reports no new clinical results.

In this 10-patient exploratory study, the researchers found that topical application of 4-aminopyridine 5% combined with microneedling did not improve hair density or quality in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting limited efficacy in this context despite promising results in animal wound models.

This study found that among 100 Caucasian patients with androgenetic alopecia, dermatologists could discern hair loss at thresholds significantly lower than the previously cited 50% reduction, highlighting the importance of using objective trichometric measurements to improve detection and personalized treatment strategies.

This study, examining perceptible hair density changes in androgenetic alopecia patients, found that dermatologists could accurately detect hair loss at a lower threshold than previously noted, specifically at a 22.66% relative density difference, challenging assumptions about their predictive accuracy based solely on clinical examination.

This case study reported that prolonged use of the cancer drug Erlotinib in a postmenopausal woman was associated with trichomegaly and hypertrichosis, highlighting the importance of considering medication history in such cases.

This case report discusses how trichomegaly, an adverse effect of the cancer therapy drug erlotinib, might serve as a marker of positive tumor response and potentially aid in treating madarosis.

Eyelashes are important for looks and eye protection, and more people are treating sparse eyelashes; more research is needed to understand eyelash biology and improve treatments.

This review updates on various methods for hair and scalp examination, encompassing non-invasive, semi-invasive, and invasive techniques, and reports no new results.

This article discusses the various skin side effects associated with targeted cancer therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors and EGF-R inhibitors but provides no new clinical findings.

This article describes a case of multiple perifollicular fibromas and suggests that cases previously reported as such might actually be instances of Birt‐Hogg‐Dubé syndrome.

This case report documents a rare instance of Rapunzel syndrome causing biliary obstruction in a 3-year-old girl, highlighting the importance of considering trichobezoar in cholestasis diagnosis.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl whose undiagnosed Coeliac disease presented with symptoms of alopecia, iron deficiency anemia, and trichobezoar, indicating a link between malabsorption, anemia, and resulting pica.

Follicular dystrophy in immunocompromised patients may be linked to medication or viral factors and can improve with treatment changes.

This case report documents a rare fatal instance of Rapunzel syndrome in a child, highlighting the use of postmortem CT and MRI to reveal trichobezoar-related bowel obstructions and perforations as the cause of death.

This review discusses trichotillomania, its diagnosis, prevalence, potential brain abnormalities, and current treatment options, and offers no new clinical findings.

In this case report, the researchers diagnosed a large trichobezoar in a 7-year-old girl with gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss through endoscopy after inconclusive imaging, highlighting endoscopy's importance for accurate diagnosis and the need for surgical and behavioral intervention to prevent recurrence.

In this case report, a 12-year-old girl with underlying sickle-thalassemia and familial stress presented with Rapunzel syndrome, a rare gastric trichobezoar, causing generalized swelling and severe anemia, which improved after surgical intervention and multidisciplinary care.

In this study, the researchers found that their conductive bio-harvesting tonic enhanced hair follicle proliferation and delayed regression with electric stimulation and the antifungal agent 6-pentyl-α-pyrone in both mice and human hair follicle tests.

This case report detailed a rare diagnosis of Rapunzel syndrome, where intussusception in a young girl was caused by trichobezoars linked to undiagnosed trichotillomania and trichophagia.

In this case study, a 46-year-old post-transplant woman with poorly controlled diabetes exhibited a rare acquired form of epidermodysplasia verruciformis associated with HPV-49, marked by unique histological findings that distinguishing it from trichodysplasia spinulosa.

This report describes a case study of a 23-year-old female exhibiting multiple trichodiscomas, a type of benign tumor of the hair follicular discs common in familial cases and potentially linked to Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, though genetic testing was not performed due to financial constraints.
