UV-enhanced trichoscopy helps diagnose hair shaft disorders like pili annulati.

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 the main causes of diffuse hair loss in adult women were female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, chronic telogen effluvium, and a combination of female pattern hair loss with telogen effluvium.

In this study, female pattern hair loss in Chinese Han patients was characterized by decreased hair density and shaft diameter, with minor gender differences and the vertex most affected.

This case report discusses a young girl with loose anagen hair syndrome, highlighting the importance of recognizing the condition early to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments, and noting her spontaneous improvement with conservative management.

In this retrospective study from Jiangsu Province Hospital, researchers reported a high prevalence of pediatric androgenetic alopecia in patients under 18, often associated with hormonal imbalances and comorbid conditions, emphasizing the need for individualized treatment plans that prioritize addressing hormonal disorders and comorbidities.

In this study, researchers evaluated factors influencing alopecia areata recurrence and identified male gender and a family history of the condition as independent predictors for disease recurrence among the 100 patients analyzed.

In this case series, the authors reported effective hair regrowth and resolution of symptoms in three pediatric patients with folliculitis decalvans following treatment with a combination of antibiotics, retinoids, dapsone, and corticosteroids.

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 highlights the variation in clinical findings of traction alopecia and emphasizes that changes in hairstyles may prevent progression to scarring alopecia.

This study reviewed 40 patients with scalp symptoms and identified a new variant of diffuse lichen planopilaris in 20 individuals, suggesting these conditions should be considered in similar cases.

This study found that using very-low-dose oral minoxidil (0.25 mg/d) led to improvement or stabilization of hair parameters in 40% to 60% of men with androgenetic alopecia, although results were not statistically significant for the overall group.

The document corrects errors in a table about hair loss in women.

This study found that among anti-TNF-α agents, certolizumab is the least likely to cause paradoxical reactions such as psoriatic alopecia and appears to be an effective and safe option for managing psoriasis and PsA while minimizing these risks.

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.

In this rare case report, the researchers described a 66-year-old African woman with lipedematous alopecia, highlighting its clinical features, the significance of palpation in examinations, and the uncertainty of it being a distinct disease entity or a combination of two conditions.

In this retrospective study of 133 pediatric patients, topical minoxidil was generally well tolerated for managing androgenetic alopecia, but close monitoring and adherence to treatment, accounting for hormonal and concurrent conditions, were emphasized for effective care.

This study found that combining a potent steroid with a vitamin D analogue may offer more convenient treatment for localized alopecia areata than using a superpotent steroid alone, with comparable efficacy but fewer side effects.

This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical evaluation, and pathogenesis of alopecia areata and highlights recent advancements, but it does not report new clinical findings.

This review discusses the dermoscopic features of common hair and scalp disorders and reports no new clinical results, aiming to assist dermatologists in diagnosing conditions like tinea capitis and alopecia areata.

This study found that trichoscopy criteria can distinguish female androgenic alopecia from chronic telogen effluvium, with specific features achieving 98% diagnostic specificity.

This study found that a topical solution combining 0.25% finasteride with 3% minoxidil significantly improved hair growth, as measured by hair density, diameter, and global assessment, in men with androgenetic alopecia, compared to 3% minoxidil alone, over 24 weeks without systemic adverse effects reported.

This review highlights that in children, hair loss can be attributed to diverse conditions like alopecia areata and tinea capitis, and stresses the importance of a holistic approach to diagnosis and management, including psychosocial support due to limited effective treatments.
