This review discusses the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of hair shaft disorders and suggests diagnostic tools like trichoscopy and light microscopy, but reports no new clinical results.

This article describes current advancements and future possibilities in skin imaging technology, teledermatology, and AI in dermatology, without reporting new research results.

In this Italian retrospective study, ritlecitinib 50 mg/day showed effectiveness and good tolerability for treating severe alopecia areata over 24 weeks, achieving significant hair regrowth particularly in adolescents, as well as improvements in eyebrows, eyelashes, nails, and quality of life, with mostly mild adverse effects.

This study observed that baricitinib led to significant hair regrowth and improved psychological well-being in severe alopecia areata patients over 48 weeks, with 63.2% achieving a SALT score of ≤20.

This study found that applying a 1% cetirizine solution daily for 16 weeks resulted in a statistically significant increase in hair count among men with androgenetic alopecia, although improvements in global photographs were less pronounced, highlighting the need for larger studies to confirm these findings.

This review discusses the classification and diagnosis of hair shaft disorders based on fragility and emphasizes preventive care due to the lack of specific treatments.

This study found that oral minoxidil improved hair density in women experiencing late alopecia due to chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy, with 74% showing clinical improvement and statistically significant increases in hair shaft density reported in those assessed with trichoscopy.

Hair diameter diversity could improve androgenetic alopecia assessment and treatment planning.

This study observed that severe forms of alopecia areata were associated with significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to mild forms, suggesting vitamin D as a possible factor in disease severity.

This review discusses current knowledge on pediatric androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results, highlighting the potential usefulness of topical and oral minoxidil, and topical finasteride.

This review discusses pili torti, a rare hair shaft disorder, and reports no new clinical results; it emphasizes the need to investigate underlying conditions in affected individuals.

This review discusses the evolution and potential of non-invasive imaging techniques for diagnosing scalp diseases, highlighting their advantages and limitations compared to trichoscopy and scalp biopsy, the current diagnostic standards.

This study reports three cases of alopecia areata resistant to corticosteroids that improved after 16 weeks of treatment with a combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and topical tacrolimus, suggesting a potential new therapeutic option that requires further confirmation.

This article discusses various limitations of direct-to-consumer teledermatology platforms, highlighting concerns regarding ethical issues, financial conflicts of interest, and challenges in providing comprehensive patient care compared to traditional in-person consultations.

Bicalutamide may improve hair growth in postmenopausal women with mild side effects.

This study reported six pediatric cases of temporal triangular alopecia and highlighted the use of trichoscopy to distinguish it by detecting a distinctive carpet of vellus hair, helping to differentiate TTA from other hair loss conditions.

This case report documents the youngest recorded instance of a linear variant of alopecia areata in a 4-year-old child, highlighting the uniqueness and rarity of this clinical presentation and noting its possible association with favorable prognosis, though further evidence is needed.

This study reports a case of trichobacteriosis pubis, a rare bacterial infection causing malodour in the pubic region, which improved with hair trimming and topical clindamycin, subsequently enhancing the patient's sexual relationship.

In this study, FAPD was characterized in a Chinese population by perifollicular mast cell infiltration, suggesting young individuals may be at higher risk than previously thought.

This case study reports that patchy nonscarring alopecia without systemic involvement can be an atypical initial indication of juvenile onset systemic lupus erythematosus.

This report details a rare case of lipedematous alopecia with classical symptoms, including scalp swelling and patchy hair loss in a 40-year-old woman.

This case report describes a 2-year-old girl with loose anagen syndrome type B, confirmed by painless trichoscopic examination, with no signs in her identical twin sister.

This study found that N-acetyl-cysteine alone or combined with minoxidil improved hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, with tolerable side effects.

In this study, researchers observed diffuse hair loss in Japanese patients post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and chemotherapy, with treatments targeting hair follicle miniaturization, like topical minoxidil, improving hair volume in about 52.9% of cases.

This case report describes novel trichoscopic features of anagen effluvium caused by azathioprine in a patient with normal TPMT levels, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring for adverse effects.

This review discusses the assessment and management of common causes of pediatric alopecia, highlighting the importance of dermatologist referral for unclear diagnoses, treatment failures, or scarring alopecia, and reports no new clinical findings.

This review discusses treatment options for various types of alopecia in children and reports no new clinical results; it analyzes the existing literature on safety and efficacy.

This review discusses hair shaft disorders, noting the lack of specific treatments and recommending general care practices to prevent hair damage, with some improvement possible during puberty or with treatments like minoxidil.

This study in Mexican patients with alopecia areata found that body hair involvement was linked to disease progression, while treatment adherence was associated with both remission and progression.

This paper proposes an integrated model suggesting that psychological stress, sleep disturbances, nutrition, lifestyle, and various biological factors collectively influence hair health, including hair loss and premature greying.
