Scurvy, caused by vitamin C deficiency, can occur in people with restrictive diets and can be diagnosed by twisted hair shafts.

In this case report, the researchers documented a rare instance of plica neuropathica, characterized by matted and twisted hair, occurring alongside diffuse alopecia, marking the first such documented association and emphasizing its diagnostic challenges in identifying causes of alopecia.

This study used atomic force microscopy to identify significant morphological differences in hair from patients with lichen planopilaris compared to healthy controls, noting more scratches, uneven edges, and pitted scales in affected hair, which may aid future research on the condition.

This study found that using the "Khalgai" hair care products enriched with copper and zinc for 28 days led to increased hair density, diameter, and follicular unit count in women, indicating improved hair morphology.

This report describes a child and his father with hereditary hypotrichosis simplex, an uncommon isolated form of hair loss, with no other ectodermal or systemic abnormalities noted.

In this study, 25% of CCHCR1-deficient mice exposed to stress developed hair loss similar to human alopecia areata, suggesting CCHCR1 is a susceptibility gene for the disease.

This article discusses methods for diagnosing and managing diffuse hair loss and reports no new results; the authors emphasize systematic evaluation and the importance of psychological support.

This Delphi study found that moderate-to-severe alopecia areata in Poland, Czechia, Russia, and Türkiye significantly impacts quality of life and highlights an unmet need for more effective treatments.

This case report identifies alopecia universalis as a probable adverse drug reaction to adalimumab in a patient with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

This article discusses the history taking and clinical examination process for diagnosing alopecia and outlines a diagnostic approach, noting that it reports no new clinical results.

This article presents five family cases of monilethrix and reports that neither vitamins nor desquamative ointments are effective treatments, although symptoms may spontaneously regress over time.

Hair disorders need a holistic approach, including medical, cosmetic, and psychological support.

This thesis explores how optical coherence tomography and advanced imaging methods may address clinical needs in fields like interventional pulmonology and dermatology, highlighting their potential for disease assessment and staging.

This study found that in Jordanian children, tinea capitis, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium were the most common causes of hair loss, with nutritional deficiencies such as iron and zinc deficiency also noted as significant factors.

This study found that ultraviolet-induced fluorescence trichoscopy can help differentiate between scarring and non-scarring alopecia and between psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

In this study, baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was associated with predicting early trichoscopic response in patients undergoing PRP-based treatment for non-scarring alopecia.

This study found that using autologous micrografts from scalp tissues significantly improved hair thickness and density in patients experiencing telogen effluvium following COVID-19, with notable improvements observed over a 6-month follow-up period.

This review synthesizes evidence on strategies to preserve donor aesthetics and reserve in follicular unit extraction, emphasizing conservative extraction limits and long-term planning to prevent donor site morbidity.

In this study, tinea capitis was identified as the most common cause of noncicatricial alopecia in children, followed by alopecia areata and marginal traction alopecia. Diagnosis using trichoscopy enhanced understanding by revealing specific hair and scalp disorder characteristics.

This review discusses dissecting cellulitis of the scalp and reports no new clinical findings.

This study reviewed treatments and findings related to male androgenetic alopecia, noting that topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are effective for slowing hair loss, while newer interventions like PRP and microneedling show promise.

This review discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of male androgenetic alopecia, noting that combination treatments, including FDA-approved and emerging therapies, may improve outcomes without added side effects.

In this study, telemedicine using trichoscopy for alopecia areata patients showed high concordance with outpatient trichoscopy in image quality and similar levels of patient satisfaction, indicating its effectiveness for follow-up and continuity of care.

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.

In this report, researchers describe an unusual case of congenital pili multigemini, a hair follicle disorder, presenting on the eyebrow of a female infant, highlighting its rarity and atypical location.

This article discusses the characteristics, diagnosis, and clinical presentation of different variants of lichen planopilaris on the scalp, with emphasis on cicatricial alopecia and the importance of clinical and trichoscopic monitoring; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is frequently misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the need for careful differentiation to avoid unnecessary treatments.

This study found that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp is often misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma, highlighting the importance of biopsy for accurate diagnosis.

In this study of folliculitis decalvans, researchers found that compound follicular structures in scalp biopsies are primarily composed of terminal anagen follicles, surrounded by fibrosis and inflammatory cell infiltrate, which could enhance understanding of this condition.

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.
