This case report describes a patient with lichen nitidus whose lesions improved following treatment with oral astemizole and topical steroids, although spontaneous resolution remains a possibility.

This article discusses the importance of creating a well-designed posterior hairline in hair restoration surgery to enhance the natural appearance of the results but does not present new clinical findings.

This case report documents the first instance of acquired uncombable hair syndrome in a 39-year-old woman, characterized by diffuse alopecia and minimal upper lip hirsutism.

In this study, TrichoScan characteristics, particularly hair density and terminal hair percentage in the midscalp, were found to predictively classify female pattern hair loss in a Chinese population.

This review covers female pattern hair loss, outlining its progression, existing treatments like topical minoxidil and laser therapy, and notes that anti-androgen therapies need further investigation.

This study found that female pattern hair loss is more common than previously thought among Indian women, with the most frequent pattern being diffuse hair loss over the vertex.

Early hair loss in men and women may indicate a higher risk of heart disease and metabolic problems.

This study analyzed 24 Japanese cases of fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and found a distinctive "parachute" hair loss pattern, emphasizing unique clinical characteristics potentially influenced by racial factors.

Hair diameter diversity helps assess hair loss, but its standard measure varies by individual and ethnicity.

This study suggests that male androgenetic alopecia and female pattern hair loss follow distinct progression pathways, characterized by different trichoscopic patterns related to hair diameter and follicular unit changes.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This study concluded that hair transplants including the parietal eminence area can enhance aesthetic balance and provide indirect cosmetic benefits, even when the vertex is left untreated due to limited donor availability.

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

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

In this study of men with androgenetic alopecia, dutasteride was shown to be more effective than finasteride in increasing hair count and reversing hair miniaturization over 24 weeks, with both treatments displaying similar side effect profiles.

This study found that older men with vertex balding had lower levels of IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1 in their plasma.

This study found that finasteride decreases DHT/T levels more significantly in the vertex scalp hair than in the occipital hair of patients with male pattern baldness.

This study found that older men with vertex balding have lower circulating levels of the protein IGFBP-3 and higher levels of IGF-1.

This correspondence highlights existing research on pattern hair loss, discussing findings about immune deposits, lymphocytic infiltration, and responses to treatment, and calls for future well-controlled studies.

This letter to the editor discusses the prevalence of frontal-vertex baldness and its association with family history in Korean men but reports no new findings.

Hair transplantation is highly effective with careful technique and attention to patient needs.

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.

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.

This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.

In this case study, a 74-year-old woman improved her scalp hair condition by reducing chronic rubbing, leading to hair regrowth without ongoing abnormalities after behavior modification.

Sparse hairs below frontal hairline can indicate early male balding.

This study found that 5% minoxidil topical foam was effective in stabilizing hair density and scalp coverage in men with moderate androgenetic alopecia over 104 weeks, with good safety and tolerability.

This paper introduces the Vertex Overload Framework for androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that chronic mechanical and thermal stress on the vertex contributes to hair follicle miniaturization, with androgens acting as co-mediators of stress adaptation rather than isolated causes.
