The letter discusses a disagreement about the definition of the "frontal area" in hair restoration surgery and questions the effectiveness of treatments like finasteride and minoxidil on this area.

A woman's hair loss was likely caused by a cream used for skin treatment and improved after she stopped using it.

This study introduced the BASP classification, a new system for categorizing pattern hair loss in both men and women, and applied it to analyze 2213 Korean subjects.

This study found that multi-hair follicles naturally orient perpendicular to the radial line from the crown whirl, suggesting that perpendicular transplantation of grafts could replicate this natural appearance.

This workshop review from the Australian Hair and Wool Research Society discusses findings in cutaneous biology and endocrinology but presents no new research results.

This review covers preoperative considerations and surgical techniques for scalp reduction in hair restoration, noting its potential to provide natural, dense coverage for large vertex defects unachievable by traditional grafting.

This review discusses the surgical methods of hair restoration, highlighting the density benefits of scalp reduction and rotation, but reports no new clinical findings.

The author reports that an evaluation system for assessing candidacy in alopecia-reducing procedures significantly decreased unsuitable surgeries while maintaining consistently good outcomes.

This article proposes a standardized naming system for areas of the balding scalp to improve communication among hair restoration professionals, but it reports no clinical results.

Human hair growth involves active, resting, and intermediate phases, and examining plucked hairs can teach students about hair biology and diseases.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy may offer a simple and cost-effective treatment option for androgenetic alopecia in men, with around 70% of participants showing mild to excellent improvement.

This study found that topical cetirizine increased hair shaft thickness and improved clinical outcomes from the patients' perspective in female androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, with similar side effect profiles.

This study reported that a new PRP application protocol with two treatments enhanced hair growth metrics in the vertex region of androgenetic alopecia patients within six months.

In this study, researchers found that using a handheld digital microscope, hair diameter was a better determinant of perceived alopecia severity in androgenetic alopecia than hair density.

In this study, the authors highlight the potential of intradermal microinjections of dutasteride as an adjunctive therapy for androgenetic alopecia, though they note that information on its effectiveness remains limited.

This article reviews various aspects of androgenetic alopecia, from its historical perceptions to current understanding and treatments, without providing new clinical results.

This paper presents an interactive quiz related to a study by Deng et al. (2022) in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, examining androgen receptor-mediated paracrine signaling in androgenetic alopecia, but it provides no new clinical findings.

This review discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia, emphasizing a multifactorial approach and reporting no new clinical results.

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, the vertex type of male pattern baldness was associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting it may serve as a marker for cardiovascular evaluation in men.

This study found that oral dutasteride significantly increased hair density but not thickness in women with female-pattern hair loss, and identified a mechanism involving β-catenin activation.

This study showed that men with androgenetic alopecia had higher serum levels of testosterone and DHT compared to controls, but no difference in PSA levels.

This study found no significant difference in carotid intima-media thickness between individuals with androgenetic alopecia and control subjects.

This study found that early-onset male androgenetic alopecia was associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to age-matched controls.

This study found a statistically significant association between androgenetic alopecia and coronary artery disease in men, with higher grades of alopecia, especially involving the vertex, indicating a greater risk.

Men with early-onset baldness may have a higher risk of heart disease.

Hair loss is due to thinner hairs, not less hairs; hair diameter indicates balding progression and treatment effectiveness.

This study found that vertex pattern androgenetic alopecia was significantly associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, whereas any pattern of the condition did not show a significant risk increase.

In this study, finasteride was found to arrest hair loss in 90% of men and stimulate regrowth in over 60%, while oral antiandrogens significantly arrested hair loss in over 90% of women, with some regrowth in over 30%.

This paper presents a culturally informed protocol designed to improve the collection of hair samples from African Americans for cortisol measurement, illustrating its application with community-based study data.
