This correspondence reports that some men with androgenetic alopecia can exhibit hair thinning patterns more typical of females, with variations observed between Australian and Korean populations.

In this follow-up study, participants with severe androgenic/estrogenic alopecia showed increased hair growth 10 months after ending vacuum therapy and cosmetic emulsion treatment, highlighting the therapies' potential effectiveness.

In this study, the researchers developed a computer-aided imaging system to quantitatively measure baldness in Chinese women with female pattern hair loss, potentially improving the precision of severity evaluation compared to traditional scales.

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.

In this study, patients with Alopecia Areata showed significant clinical improvement after intralesional steroid treatment, as trichoscopic features like black dots and exclamation mark hairs decreased, while short vellus and circle hairs increased, highlighting Trichoscopy's utility in monitoring treatment response.

This study describes characteristic trichoscopic features of various hair loss diseases and proposes an algorithmic method for diagnosing them, but reports no new clinical results.

Trichoscopy is a useful non-invasive method for diagnosing different hair loss conditions.

In this study of 20 patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, using trichoscopy improved diagnosis, and treatments with high-potency steroids or topical tacrolimus effectively reduced inflammatory signs, suggesting these as first-line treatments.

This study established standard trichoscopy norms for adult white females, providing benchmarks for hair thickness, percentage of thin hairs, and pilosebaceous units with single hair across different scalp areas.

This study found that 'black dots' seen under trichoscopy are not specific to alopecia areata and may occur in various other hair and scalp conditions.

This study found that trichoscopic features like exclamation mark hairs and angulated hairs were more indicative of alopecia areata in an Asian population, while features like broken hairs of different lengths and flame hairs were more common in trichotillomania.

This article reviews trichoscopic signs of chemotherapy-induced alopecia, including exclamation marks, but reports no new clinical results.

This study aimed to identify trichoscopic features that help differentiate between tinea capitis and alopecia areata in children, enhancing diagnosis and treatment decisions visually and non-invasively.

This review discusses the pharmacology and safety of topical finasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss, noting positive results but reporting no new clinical findings.

This study found that trichoscopy aided in assessing treatment responses for patchy alopecia areata, with both intralesional corticosteroids and platelet-rich plasma showing effectiveness, but only PRP significantly improved patient symptom impact scores.

This study suggests that the high prevalence of frontal alopecia in Chinese women may be linked to frequent ponytail styling, which could indicate traction alopecia.

This study found that pumpkin seed oil significantly improved hair parameters in females with pattern hair loss, demonstrating potential as a treatment comparable to minoxidil 5% foam.

This review discusses recent advances in the diagnosis and management of female pattern hair loss but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, Spectral DNC-N® significantly reduced hair shedding and increased hair mass and density in women with early female pattern hair loss, with effects evident after 3 months and sustained through 6 months.

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.

This review discusses the characteristics and management options for female pattern hair loss, highlighting the unclear role of androgens and the psychosocial impact, and reports no new clinical results.

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.

New method, hair distribution width (HDW), improves accuracy in diagnosing androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

In this study, androgenetic alopecia patients with thin hair were found to have a higher likelihood of experiencing prostatic enlargement and related urinary symptoms compared to those with thicker hair.

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.

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.

This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This study compared the effectiveness of adding Biotin supplements to PRP treatment against using PRP alone for androgenetic alopecia patients and found no additional benefits in hair regrowth when Biotin was included.

In this cross-sectional study, researchers observed that individuals with early-onset androgenetic alopecia showed significant differences in hair growth parameters and metabolic factors compared to those with normal-onset AGA, suggesting a potential association with metabolic syndrome, though more research is needed to clarify this relationship.

In this review, researchers examined current knowledge on alopecia areata, finding it affects approximately 2% of individuals, with a likely autoimmune and genetic basis, and highlighting its association with other medical and psychiatric conditions, although no cure currently exists.
