This study reported that two male patients with diffuse unpatterned alopecia exhibited donor-area involvement in both the vertex and occiput, challenging the assumption of occipital stability for hair transplantation, and showed partial improvement following treatment with oral finasteride and topical minoxidil.

This study found that breast cancer patients treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors plus endocrine therapy experienced more pronounced vertex hair loss and were less responsive to minoxidil treatment compared to those on endocrine monotherapy.

This study suggests that lichen planopilaris should be considered as a potential diagnosis in African American women with scarring alopecia, often displaying an "arrowhead" distribution pattern, which may guide treatment strategies.

Most men with lichen planopilaris had it confirmed by biopsy and often had thyroid issues, sexual dysfunction, or prostate cancer, hinting at a link with hormonal problems.

This study examined 15 female patients with hypothyroidism to investigate the characterization of their alopecia and ruled out other causes, using medical histories, and clinical, trichoscopic, and histologic findings.

Women in Australia report different signs of facial aging compared to women in the US, UK, and Canada; men with Lichen planopilaris often have hormonal abnormalities and thyroid disease.

This study found that lichen planopilaris in men typically presents similarly to women, with a lower likelihood of nonscalp hair loss and a higher association with mucosal lichen planus and thyroid disease.

This case study reports a 58-year-old woman experiencing pressure-induced alopecia with concomitant acute telogen effluvium after severe COVID-19, suggesting a potential link between prolonged hospitalization and hair loss.

Atypical male hair loss may not respond to usual treatments.

Most older adults experience pattern hair loss due to shrinking hair follicles, with men and women showing different balding patterns.

This study compared the clinical effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma therapy with minoxidil for treating hair loss in men, suggesting PRP is a promising option.

This study found that 23.8% of participants with pattern hair loss had occipital involvement, with higher rates in females (35.6%) compared to males with early-stage hair loss (12.1%), illustrating significant gender differences in hair loss progression.

This review discusses the molecular mechanisms of androgen action in human hair follicles and reports no new findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research to improve treatments for hair disorders.

In this study, nail changes, particularly pitting, were associated with moderate to severe cases of alopecia areata and a positive family history, highlighting potential genetic factors in the condition.

This paper presents a case of scalp sarcoidosis with systemic involvement and notes the importance of dermoscopy in its diagnosis, along with a literature review of 46 alopecia-inducing sarcoidosis cases.

This article reviews lichen planopilaris, a chronic scarring alopecia, and explores recent treatment developments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This study suggests that acquired progressive kinking of hair, which typically appears at or after puberty, may be androgen dependent and could progress to male pattern baldness.

This study found evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia.

Most bald men don't protect their scalp from the sun, and doctors should encourage prevention.

This case series observed a potential familial link in central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), suggesting a genetic predisposition that may be worsened by hair grooming practices.

This case report describes a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed both alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris despite immunosuppressive treatment, suggesting a shared immunopathogenesis between these disorders.

In this study, the researchers did not confirm previously reported links between AGA and smoking or benign prostatic hypertrophy, but found potential associations with alcohol consumption and lean body mass at age 21 that merit further investigation.

This study found that while a modified BASP classification for pattern hair loss could classify previously unrecognized types, it was less accurate and harder to use than the existing BASP classification.

This retrospective review found that while intralesional corticosteroids provided symptomatic improvement for lichen planopilaris, hydroxychloroquine with topical corticosteroids led to higher remission rates but did not result in visible hair regrowth.

This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.

This study found that trichoscopic examination is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with severe diffuse non-scarring alopecia indicating active disease.

This study examined children with trichotillomania using a set of specific questions to better understand the condition and aid clinicians who may be unfamiliar with it.

The researchers reported that various environmental factors and higher testosterone levels were linked to different patterns of hair loss in women with androgenic alopecia.

This study found that topical clobetasol propionate cream provided a modest improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients, though those with atopy had higher relapse rates after treatment completion.

This study found no significant association between vitamin D levels and alopecia areata in patients when gender was accounted for, but vitamin D levels were lower in patients with nail involvement.
