research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections in the evaluation of alopecia biopsy specimens

56 citations , July 2005 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study found that vertical sections of alopecia biopsy specimens had a higher concordance rate with the original combined diagnosis compared to transverse sections alone, although both methods have their pros and cons.

research Vertical vs. transverse sections of scalp biopsy specimens: a pilot study on the comparison of the diagnostic value of two techniques in alopecia

19 citations , September 2011 in “Clinical and Experimental Dermatology”

This study suggests that for single biopsy specimens, transverse sections may be preferable for diagnosing noncicatricial alopecia, while vertical sections may be better for suspected lichen planopilaris.

research Diagnostic accuracy measures for vertical and transverse scalp biopsies in cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias

5 citations , November 2017 in “Dermatologica Sinica”

In this study, transverse sectioning of scalp biopsy samples showed higher diagnostic accuracy than vertical sectioning for noncicatricial alopecia, although both techniques are important for accurate diagnosis.

research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections for the histopathologic diagnosis of alopecias

February 2009 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology”

Transverse sections are better for non-scarring hair loss, vertical sections are better for lichen planopilaris, and either method works for other scarring hair loss types.

research Vertical and transverse sections of alopecia biopsy specimens: Combining the two to maximize diagnostic yield

71 citations , March 1995 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study concluded that combining vertical and transverse sections of scalp biopsy specimens improves diagnostic yield for certain hair disorders without increasing costs.

community "Clinical efficacy of microneedle combined with 5% Minoxidil solution and finasteride in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in males"

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling combined with 5% Minoxidil and finasteride significantly improves hair growth compared to using Minoxidil or Minoxidil with finasteride alone. The combination treatment is safe and effective, but further research is needed due to small sample size and short study duration.

community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective

in Chat 213 upvotes 1 year ago

Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.

community Fin/Dut and Metabolism Speeds…

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 8 upvotes 2 years ago

A user speculates that a fast metabolism might affect the effectiveness of dutasteride for hair loss. Another user argues that drug response is unrelated to metabolism speed.

community 3months of taking 1mg of Finasteride

in Progress Pictures 262 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared impressive hair regrowth results after three months of taking 1mg daily of finasteride. Other users commented on their experiences and the effectiveness of different treatments like minoxidil and dutasteride.

learn Alopecia Areata

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn Overview

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

learn Finasteride

Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Nanoxidil

learn Centella

Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
