780-810 / 1000+ resultsresearch Lipedematous alopecia of the scalp
Lipedematous scalp may be underdiagnosed and doesn't improve with finasteride.
research Evaluation of carotid intima media thickness in early onset androgenetic alopesia
Early onset baldness may be linked to thicker artery walls.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: May 2022
Androgenetic alopecia causes hair thinning due to increased androgen activity, treatable with minoxidil and finasteride.
research The place of B‐mode ultrasonography, shear‐wave elastography, and superb microvascular imaging in the pre‐diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia
B-mode ultrasonography and shear-wave elastography can help predict androgenetic alopecia early.
research Skin diseases
Skin ages and changes due to sun, wind, and aging, causing dryness, thinning, and hair loss.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research The Transverse Anatomy of Androgenic Alopecia
The study found that horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are better for analyzing hair loss, showing fewer hairs and more fine hairs in balding areas.
research Senescent alopecia (“senile alopecia” or “senescent balding”)
Senescent alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs after age 50, not caused by genetics, and involves a gradual thinning of hair without significant inflammation.
research The changing patterns of hair density and thickness in South Korean women with hair loss: clinical office-based phototrichogram analysis
South Korean women with hair loss have lower hair density and thickness compared to healthy women.
research Miniaturization of sebaceous glands: A novel histopathological finding in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus of the scalp
People with pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus often have smaller sebaceous glands on their scalp.
research Pattern hair loss: Assessment of microinflammation in miniaturized and terminal hair follicles through horizontal histologic sections
Microinflammation is more intense in smaller hair follicles and may be linked to hair loss.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss results from varying androgen sensitivity, causing fewer thick hairs and more thin hairs.
research Dermatologic applications of direct-to-consumer genomic analysis
Living near more dermatologists and using certain cancer screening tests lowers the chance of being diagnosed with advanced skin cancer.
research Rare Concurrence of Alopecia Areata in the Setting of the Lipedematous Scalp
A patient with a thick scalp and hair loss was correctly diagnosed with alopecia areata and a thick scalp fat layer, not lipedematous alopecia, and regrew hair after treatment.
research Parietal scalp is another affected area in female pattern hair loss: an analysis of hair density and hair diameter
Parietal scalp area has lower hair density and smaller hair diameter in women with hair loss.
research Clinical, trichoscopic, and histopathologic characteristics of patients with alopecia and hypothyroidism: An observational study
Hypothyroidism patients with hair loss typically have thinning hair, smaller hair follicles, and normal hair shedding.
research Clinicopathological insights into the phenotypic variation of autosomal recessive hypotrichosis/wooly hair by c.736T>A LIPH mutation
The conclusion is that the variation in hair thinness in patients is mostly due to the amount of underdeveloped hairs, and treatments that thicken fine hairs might work for those with mild to severe conditions.
research A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study of Hair Density and Hair Shaft Diameter of Different Severities of Anterior Scalp Marginal Traction Alopecia in Women
Traction alopecia reduces hair density and thickness; proper hair care can help prevent it.
research 0885 The androgen-THY1 axis mediates sexual dimorphism in dermal adipogenesis and fibrosis
Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.
research Morphological and inflammatory changes in the skin of autopsied fetuses according to the type of stress
Stress during pregnancy can thin fetal skin.
research A morphometric and histologic study of the scalp in psoriasis. Paradoxical sebaceous gland atrophy and decreased hair shaft diameters without alopecia.
Psoriasis on the scalp causes smaller oil glands and thinner hair but doesn't lead to hair loss.
research Androgenic alopecia, premature graying, and hair thinning as independent predictors of coronary artery disease in young Asian males
Early balding, premature graying, and hair thinning can predict heart disease in young Asian males.
research Linear morphea alopecia: New trichoscopy findings
Trichoscopy can reveal specific hair and scalp changes in linear morphea.
research Adipocyte-myofibroblast transition as a possible pathophysiological step in androgenetic alopecia
AMT may cause hair loss and changing dWAT activity could help treat it.
research Pili trianguli et canaliculi as a phenotypic subtype in patients with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A scanning electron microscopy study
Hair shaft changes may be linked to CCCA, but their role is unclear.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair thinning condition linked to genetics and hormones.
research Trichoscopic criteria of female pattern hair loss
Female hair loss can be diagnosed using specific trichoscopy criteria.
research Coexistence of acquired localized hypertrichosis and lipoatrophy after lupus panniculitis
Localized hair growth and fat loss may share a common cause in lupus panniculitis.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Most older adults experience pattern hair loss due to shrinking hair follicles, with men and women showing different balding patterns.
