This study reports that a prototype device may accurately measure changes in hair quantity, diameter, and density in patients with balding by assessing the cross-sectional area of hair bundles.

This study describes trichoscopic findings in 11 dark-skinned women with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia and highlights the potential of trichoscopy for early diagnosis and treatment.

The study observed that Americans of Hispanic descent have a statistically significant higher hair density than individuals of African descent but lower than Caucasians, which may assist in diagnosing and researching hair disorders.

This study successfully developed and characterized a monospecific monoclonal antibody, LHTric-1, that specifically localizes to the pre-cortical region of the hair follicle and can aid research on hair and nail formation.

In this study, researchers suggest that digital microscopy using visible light could offer a more objective approach to diagnosing hirsutism by quantifying terminal hair, with future research needed to assess its usefulness in women with the condition.

In this study, researchers found that using a handheld digital microscope, hair diameter was a better determinant of perceived alopecia severity in androgenetic alopecia than hair density.

This study found that exclamation mark hairs are the only trichoscopic feature that can differentiate clinically suspicious SA from AA.

This case report describes a 2-year-old boy diagnosed with trichothiodystrophy, characterized by fragile hair, intellectual damage, diminished fertility, and short stature.

This review discusses trichotillomania and traction alopecia, focusing on their clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options, but it reports no new research findings.

This study reported that trichoscopy can identify specific hair shaft abnormalities linked to increased serological activity, highlighting its use as a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool in pediatric dermatology for neonates with ECS.

This study examined children with trichotillomania using a set of specific questions to better understand the condition and aid clinicians who may be unfamiliar with it.

This study found that RCM combined with dermoscopy can differentiate disease states between alopecia areata, tinea capitis, nevus sebaceous, and linear scleroderma of the scalp by identifying distinct dermal and follicular patterns.

This case report highlighted two atypical childhood alopecia cases: congenital atrichia without papules and Bjornstad syndrome with alopecia areata; emphasizing diagnostic challenges, notably the absence of keratotic papules usually associated with congenital atrichia and the presence of alopecia areata in Bjornstad syndrome.

This retrospective study conducted at two centers in west Mexico identified distinctive trichoscopic features in pediatric androgenetic alopecia, with 70% of patients being male and most showing vitamin D deficiency; topical minoxidil was effective and well-tolerated as a treatment.

This review highlights the need for standardization of diagnostic techniques for hair diseases and emphasizes their importance in distinguishing conditions and monitoring treatment effects, but it reports no new experimental results.

This article discusses the potential of trichoscopy in diagnosing and treating dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and emphasizes the need for early diagnosis to prevent progression but reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a patient with trichothiodystrophy presenting with autism, mental retardation, and seizures, characterized by distinct hair abnormalities under microscopy.

Dermoscopy quickly and accurately diagnosed a rare hair disorder in a 12-year-old girl.

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

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy in distinguishing temporal triangular alopecia from alopecia areata, emphasizing its role in avoiding invasive diagnostics and ineffective treatments; it reports no new clinical findings.

This study suggests that immunohistochemistry of keratin and involucrin expression can aid in distinguishing malignant trichilemmoma from other tumors previously diagnosed as such.

In this study, certain trichoscopic features were found to be sensitive and specific for diagnosing primary cicatricial alopecias and its subtypes using dermatoscopy.

This study observed that male and female androgenetic alopecia share similar trichoscopic characteristics, such as hair shaft thickness heterogeneity and increased thin and vellus hairs.

In this study, trichoscopic features aiding differential diagnosis of alopecia in Korean patients were found to be similar to those in Caucasians, but pigment pattern frequencies differed due to racial characteristics.

This study highlights confocal microscopy as a promising, minimally invasive tool for assessing hair morphology and internal structures, making it valuable for cosmetic hair assessments.

This study found that female pattern hair loss and acute telogen effluvium have distinct trichoscopic and histochemical characteristics, which may aid in their diagnosis and differentiation.

This study developed a non-destructive X-ray fluorescence technique to quantitatively analyze elemental content in human hair and constructed a database of element concentrations in healthy Swedish, Caucasian individuals.
