In this study, most hair disorders among HIV-1 positive patients were associated with low helper T cell counts, with papulosquamous conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis being the most common.

This article reviews eyelash elongation as a side effect of EGFR inhibitors in cancer treatment, finding that the condition is typically not severe and may be managed by trimming.

This case report describes a patient with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who developed hypertrichosis and eyelash trichomegaly, likely linked to cyclosporine-A and prednisolone therapy, with expected resolution after stopping treatment.

This case report describes a 78-year-old male with adenocarcinoma and Hypertrichosis lanuginosa acquisita, highlighting the need to consider malignancy in patients with unexplained excessive hair growth.

This study found a minimal overall contribution of rare coding variants to male-pattern hair loss but identified significant associations with rare variants in 125 genes, including novel candidate genes.

This report describes the second documented case in England of a 14-year-old Asian girl with Rapunzel syndrome, underlining the importance of suspicion to prevent delayed diagnosis in similar patients.

This study conducted a detailed examination of Terminalia arjuna flowers, suggesting their potential use in establishing botanical standards for identification and standardization in Ayurvedic medicine.

Hair damage shows as fragility, dullness, and discoloration, varies by ethnicity, and is worsened by cosmetic procedures and diseases.

This study found that certain polymorphisms in EGF and EGFR genes may increase susceptibility to alopecia areata in the Korean population, and these genetic variations could be associated with specific symptoms such as nail involvement and body hair loss.

This article discusses a journal-based CME activity on rare viral skin eruptions in pediatric transplant patients and reports no new clinical results; it aims to improve physicians' knowledge and treatment of this condition.

Capitate trichomes have more endoplasmic reticulum and vacuoles, while peltate trichomes have more plastids and larger subcuticular spaces.

This study found that the cross-section trichometer (HairCheck device) can accurately and sensitively measure hair mass index changes, offering a convenient tool for assessing hair density and diameter in patients with alopecia.

This study found a novel PAX9 gene mutation that may cause tooth agenesis and trichodysplasia in a studied family.

This case report highlighted two instances of bezoar disease: a massive gastric trichobezoar in a teenage girl and multiple gastrointestinal phytobezoars in an adult man, underscoring the importance of CT imaging for diagnosis and the effectiveness of surgical intervention for removing large or multiple bezoars.

This case study describes a 17-year-old girl initially thought to be experiencing a Crohn disease exacerbation, but ultimately found to have a trichobezoar causing small bowel obstruction.

This article reviews the characteristics, associations, and diagnostic criteria for alopecia areata and reports no new clinical findings; the authors note the disease's unpredictable course and variable prognosis.

Alopecia areata is a hair loss condition that often starts before age 30 and can affect various body parts, with unpredictable hair regrowth chances.

This study observed in mouse skin that trichohyalin granules in hair follicles transform into filamentous structures as inner root sheath cells differentiate and cornify.

This study explored the structure and keratin composition of marsupial hairs, finding similarities in keratin localization to hairs in placental mammals, and highlighting potential roles of trichohyalin and transglutaminase during hair development and shedding.

This study observed that the keratinization pattern of trichilemmal cysts in two Japanese women may originate from the proliferation of the outer root sheath in the follicular isthmus of anagen hairs.
