This study concluded that exclamation mark hairs are the most reliable marker of disease activity in alopecia areata, with broken hairs, triangular hairs, and black dots also increasing the probability of active disease.

This pilot study found that among male androgenetic alopecia patients, 2.5 mg oral minoxidil with platelet-rich plasma led to higher patient satisfaction than 1.25 mg, though hair count improvements were not statistically significant.

In this study, researchers found that topical ketoconazole showed delayed hair growth compared to minoxidil in female pattern hair loss but had fewer side effects, though patient satisfaction was similar for both treatments.

This study found that pigmented vellus and upright regrowing hairs are the only predictive trichoscopic markers of hair regrowth in patients with alopecia totalis and universalis.

This study identified two distinct trichoscopic patterns in the mid-frontal scalp of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia who also display clinical features of androgenetic alopecia.

This study identifies specific trichoscopic features such as empty follicles and perifollicular erythema in Caucasians with frontal fibrosing alopecia, which may assist in diagnosis and monitoring, but stresses the need for further research due to limited demographic data.

This study reports that quantitative trichoscopy, while noninvasive and convenient, provides less accurate hair density data compared to invasive histopathologic examination, which was demonstrated in a sample of adult Chinese individuals without alopecia.

This study identified that trichoscopy can effectively diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia by highlighting specific scalp abnormalities in postmenopausal women.

In this study, hair follicle effacement was identified as a key dermoscopic feature of cicatricial alopecia, and dermoscopy proved useful in distinguishing cicatricial from non-cicatricial alopecias.

This study found that the STRIAA scoring tool provides a rapid and highly reliable assessment of alopecia areata severity, showing a significant correlation with the traditional SALT score, thus enhancing clinical evaluation in patients with this condition.

This study suggests that RCM may be a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool for alopecia areata incognita, showing substantial agreement with histopathology while noting some discrepancies.

This study found that diode laser effectively reduces unwanted facial hair in darker skin types and reported no serious adverse events, suggesting that trichoscopy is an underutilized tool for assessing laser hair reduction outcomes.

This study found that in patients with alopecia areata, trichoscopy was a valuable tool for monitoring disease activity, severity, and therapeutic response, showing changes in trichoscopic markers that preceded improvements observed in the hair pull test.

This study observed that while both minoxidil and botanically-derived 5-alpha reductase inhibitors significantly increased hair count and diameter in women with female pattern hair loss, minoxidil was more effective, especially for greater hair diameter increases, but had more troublesome side effects.

This study observed that dermoscopy is a valuable tool for hair transplant surgeons to evaluate and improve the aesthetic outcomes and address technical errors in transplant procedures.

In this study, researchers identified elongated corkscrew hairs as a new trichoscopic pattern in immunosuppressed adults with chronic endothrix tinea capitis, which may help in earlier diagnosis and targeted mycological investigation.

This study found that certain trichoscopic features, including hair diameter diversity patterns, helped differentiate female androgenetic alopecia from telogen effluvium in women, suggesting their potential use in clinical diagnosis.

This study observed that following hair transplantation, patients exhibited prominent perifollicular erythema and scaling one month after surgery, whereas by six months, accentuated follicular ostia and varying hair shaft abnormalities were consistently noted.

In this prospective study, 15 patients with patchy alopecia areata treated with intralesional methotrexate every two weeks showed a significant improvement in hair regrowth and reduction in lesion severity, with changes linked to decreased tissue levels of TNF-α.

This study developed an automated image analysis framework for diagnosing hair disorders using trichoscopic images, reporting a Random Forest classifier as having an 86.67% accuracy in distinguishing between different scalp pathologies based on quantitative image features.

This study found that fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution in Hispanic male patients often resembles androgenetic alopecia, with a tendency for earlier onset compared to European and North American populations.

This study observed that while hair density generally increased after PRP-based treatments for nonscarring alopecia, the extent of improvement and associated biomarker changes varied widely among individuals.

This study at the Dzerkalo Medical Center found that complex therapy for abscessing perifolliculitis of the scalp is more effective in reducing inflammation and follicle destruction compared to basic antibacterial therapy, which was associated with relapses during long-term follow-up.

In this prospective study, ritlecitinib effectively reduced hair loss in patients with severe alopecia areata, with 43.3% of participants achieving a 20 or lower SALT score by week 24, and showed a good midterm safety profile.

This study examined the relationships between the Dermatology Life Quality Index and trichoscopic and clinical-anamnestic characteristics in young Ukrainian men with alopecia areata, finding varying strengths of mostly non-significant correlations, especially in those with grade I and III alopecia.

This study observed that in a series of 28 patients with different types of alopecia, specific trichoscopic markers like exclamation-mark hairs and yellow dots helped distinguish alopecia areata from conditions like lichen planopilaris and discoid lupus erythematosus, which showed follicular ostia loss and white scarring.

In this case study, a 74-year-old patient with frontal fibrosing alopecia displayed unique trichoscopic and histopathological features, and treatments like 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and oral minoxidil effectively halted disease progression, highlighting the importance of comprehensive facial analysis for prognosis.

This study found that, in female patients with pattern hair loss, injections of adipose-derived stem cells increased hair density and thickness, reduced perifollicular inflammation, and enhanced markers associated with hair cycle regeneration.

In this study, researchers found that mogamulizumab-associated rashes and alopecia are common in patients treated for mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome and may be linked with a good treatment response.

This study observed that indigenous South Africans with natural afro-textured hair have lower hair densities, varying shaft diameters, and distinct follicular unit patterns compared to other racial groups, with significant gender differences in some parameters, highlighting the need for tailored reference values in clinical settings.
