This paper details a method for measuring testosterone metabolism into seven androgens using digital autoradiography, which offers high sensitivity and reduces the need for radioactive materials.

This case report found that dermoscopy, showing characteristic "comma" and "corkscrew" hairs, effectively identified tinea capitis in a 7-year-old girl, allowing for early treatment before confirmation with fungal culture.

This case report describes the first known instances of male androgenetic alopecia with trichoteiromania, suggesting self-induced hair loss can occur alongside patterned miniaturization of hair.

In this study, trichoscopy significantly improved diagnostic accuracy in non-cicatricial alopecia, identifying alopecia areata as the most common cause and effectively aiding diagnosis in 28.2% of ambiguous cases.

This case report describes the diagnosis of monilethrix in a 2-year-old boy using trichoscopy, highlighting its rarity and the challenge of diagnosing it without a family history.

This article reviews the diagnostic process for hair problems, emphasizing the importance of thorough patient evaluation and communication but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that in patients with patchy alopecia areata, certain trichoscopic features like upright regrowing hairs and pigtail hairs are positive predictive markers for treatment success.

This study found that human hair shows more susceptibility to perforation by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton verrucosum compared to animal hair, with black human hair serving as a reliable diagnostic tool for differentiation between the two species.

This paper introduces an algorithm for using smart device-mounted microscopes to analyze scalp images and diagnose hair loss by extracting specific hair loss features.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing systemic diseases and concludes that certain trichoscopic features may help dermatologists suspect these conditions.

This study describes a simple, noninvasive hair counting method used in a hair growth prevention trial, assessing its reliability and validity.

This article discusses monilethrix, a rare human hair dysplasia caused by mutations in hair keratins, but reports no new clinical findings.

This study introduces a novel non-invasive method called "differential stripping" to quantify the penetration of topically applied substances into hair follicles.

This study found that the Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale has acceptable internal consistency and divergent validity for assessing Trichotillomania severity, but demonstrated inadequate test-retest reliability and mixed convergent validity.

In this study, trichoscopic examination found distinct hair characteristics for diagnosing eyebrow loss: alopecia areata is marked by features like exclamation mark hairs, while frontal fibrosing alopecia shows dystrophic hairs and distinctive regrowth patterns.

This article reviews the complex signaling pathways between epithelial and mesenchymal cells crucial for hair follicle morphogenesis, highlighting the Wnt pathway's role as a master regulator without reporting new experimental findings.

This study identified the placenta at the base of the ovary as the origin of poplar seed hair development and detailed transcriptome dynamics during the growth process.

This study found that treating hair with 1 M sodium hydroxide increases its self-friction coefficient, suggesting potential applications in forming fine frictional fibers for medical uses.

This chapter provides an overview of the complex chemical and physical structure of the hair surface, detailing how factors like ethnicity, environmental stress, and cosmetic treatments can alter its properties and influence the adhesion of hair care products.

This study found that a bioactive borosilicate glass containing Sr and Cu ions exhibited promising mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity, particularly the CuSr-1 wt.% composition, suggesting potential for use in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering.

This review presents possible classifications of psychological disorders that significantly impact dermatology, along with their clinical characteristics and comorbidities, highlighting lesions as potential warning signs based on DSM-5 and ICD-10 codes.

In this case report, a 5-year-old boy presented with an itchy patch of hair loss in the frontotemporal region, with trichoscopy revealing specific hair shaft features, such as black dots and corkscrew hairs.

This case study examined a 72-year-old woman with unique hair shaft constrictions consistent with monilethrix, despite features atypical for this condition, ultimately reaching a diagnosis that led to successful improvement using oral minoxidil and reduced hair trauma.

This paper highlights trichodynia as a distinguishing symptom of telogen effluvium, but it does not present new clinical findings.

This article discusses the principles and considerations of clinical photography for hair disorders in dermatology, reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichoscopy can differentiate between dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis by identifying distinctive features and may help assess disease activity.

In this study, the TRICHOBIOLIGHT protocol showed effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium, with 82.5% of 103 patients experiencing excellent to good outcomes after mesotherapy and LED photobiostimulation on the scalp.

This study found that trichoscopy is essential for evaluating the severity of alopecia areata and predicting treatment responses, contributing to more personalized patient management.

This study in Chennai, India, found that while some trichoscopic patterns are specific, many overlap across different scalp dermatoses, highlighting the importance of dermatologists staying informed about the latest findings.
