This report highlights that trichoscopy is a useful, non-invasive tool for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, particularly in areas where lab facilities are limited.

Comma hairs are a new sign for identifying scalp fungal infections.

This guideline review discusses updated evidence-based recommendations for managing tinea capitis, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and prevention strategies, but reports no new clinical results.

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing hair loss with no cure and treatments that often don't work well.

This study reports that progressive frontal fibrosing alopecia, a distinct and gradually stabilizing form of lichen planopilaris affecting elderly women and often involving eyebrow hair loss, lacks effective treatments.

This updated guideline from the British Association of Dermatologists discusses current recommendations for managing alopecia areata but reports no new clinical research findings.

These guidelines for alopecia areata management, prepared by the British Association of Dermatologists, provide evidence-based treatment recommendations and insights into the condition's epidemiology, diagnosis, and investigation.

This article reviews the pathogenesis, genetic basis, and recent treatment breakthroughs for androgenetic alopecia but reports no new clinical findings.

In this study, a new shading model for hair was developed that better matches real-life light scattering, thanks to detailed new measurements of hair fiber scattering not predicted by existing models.

This review explores the causes and mechanisms of alopecia areata and discusses current treatments, reporting no new clinical findings.

Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.

This review examines dermatological side effects of taxane chemotherapy reported in past studies and highlights the necessity for identifying and managing these conditions to maintain cancer patients' quality of life; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that frontal and frontoparietal hair recession is relatively common in women, especially after menopause, and may not indicate abnormal androgen metabolism absent other virilization signs.

This article discusses the evaluation and management of a 45-year-old woman with diffuse scalp-hair loss and reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris have similar histopathological features, but FFA exhibits more prominent apoptosis and less inflammation with spared interfollicular epidermis.

The AUTS2 gene is linked to neurological disorders and may affect human brain development and cognition.

This review discusses the advancements in understanding and treating androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata but reports no clinical findings; the authors emphasize the need for further research on molecular control mechanisms.

This study found that fibromyalgia prevalence is slightly higher in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus compared to those with arthritis, but fibromyalgia-ness does not bias the SLE Activity Questionnaire.

This review discusses medical and surgical therapies for alopecias in Black women, focusing on the impact of hair-care practices and the importance of patient education, but reports no new clinical results.

Minoxidil helps hair growth in 63.6% of alopecia patients, with 27.3% having excellent results.

Minoxidil solution helps hair regrowth in alopecia areata, with 5% being more effective.

This study highlights that prolonged voriconazole use is linked to an increased risk of aggressive cutaneous malignancies like squamous cell carcinoma, necessitating careful monitoring of drug levels to manage adverse effects.

This review noted that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease impacting hair follicles and offered insights into its complex pathogenesis involving immune responses, while highlighting ongoing research into new treatments such as Janus kinase inhibitors and other immunomodulatory drugs.

This study reports that oral finasteride improved or stabilized hair loss in women with hyperandrogenism but not in postmenopausal women with female pattern hair loss.

In this study, smoking status and intensity were significantly associated with moderate or severe androgenetic alopecia among Asian men, after accounting for age and family history.

This study introduced a new hair shading model that more accurately simulates light scattering on hair fibers, capturing effects not predicted by previous models.

Hair loss that spreads out can often fix itself or be treated by finding and handling the cause.

This study found that low-level laser therapy significantly increased hair growth in women with androgenic alopecia, achieving a 37% greater increase in hair counts compared to placebo.

This study found that while some patients with severe alopecia areata responded to high-dose prednisolone, the response was inconsistent and the therapy's risks prevent recommending it for general use.

This study found that 1% minoxidil topical solution led to terminal hair regrowth in some patients with alopecia areata, though it was only cosmetically acceptable in less than half of those cases.
