60-90 / 1000+ results research Understanding fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution: a retrospective study with histological challenges in the diagnosis of diffuse central alopecia
Fibrosing alopecia can be diagnosed without typical signs of lichen planopilaris.
research Androgenetic alopecia – Current status
The document discusses male and female pattern hair loss, its diagnosis methods, FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, their side effects, and the role of lifestyle changes.
research Utility of trichoscopy
Trichoscopy helps diagnose and monitor hair and scalp problems without needing many biopsies.
research The role of hsa‐miR‐193a‐5p as an important factor for control of inositol in alopecia areata
hsa-miR-193a-5p may help diagnose and treat alopecia areata.
research Diffuse Lichen Planopilaris Masquerading as Diffuse Alopecia Areata
A woman's hair loss was misdiagnosed as alopecia areata but was actually lichen planopilaris, needing immediate and ongoing treatment.
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 A Contemporary View on Felix Pinkus’ Concept of the Vitreous Membrane
The vitreous membrane in hair follicles changes shape during the hair cycle and may affect hair growth and nutrient exchange.
research Videodermoscopy in the evaluation of hair and scalp disorders
Videodermoscopy improves diagnosis of hair and scalp disorders and may reduce scalp biopsies.
research Reimagining Hair Science: A New Approach to Classify Curly Hair Phenotypes via New Quantitative Geometrical & Structural Mechanical Parameters
New methods to classify curly hair types were developed based on shape and strength.
research Psychodermatology U.K.
Treating skin conditions with both psychological and dermatological care improves patient outcomes and can save costs.
research Scalp Dermoscopy or Trichoscopy
Trichoscopy is a quick, noninvasive method to diagnose hair and scalp disorders, often reducing the need for biopsies.
research Alternative uses of dermoscopy in daily clinical practice: An update
Dermoscopy is useful for diagnosing various skin, hair, and nail disorders and can reduce the need for biopsies.
research Dermoscopy: not just for dermatologists
Dermoscopy is useful for many health professionals, not just dermatologists, in improving skin condition diagnoses and reducing unnecessary biopsies.
research Noninflammatory, Nonpruritic Alopecia of Horses
Some horses lose hair without inflammation or itching due to various conditions, and while mainly a cosmetic issue, diagnosis requires examination and biopsies, and breeding is not advised if it's hereditary.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia versus lichen planopilaris: a clinicopathological study
The conclusion is that FFA and LPP have similar scalp biopsy features, making them hard to distinguish histologically, and FFA may be a specific kind of scarring hair loss.
research Histogenesis of keratoacanthoma: histochemical and immunohistochemical study
Keratoacanthoma comes from hair follicle cells.
research Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata and Vitiligo: Commonalities and Differences
Alopecia areata and vitiligo share immune system dysfunction but differ in specific immune responses and affected areas.
research Canine noninflammatory alopecia: a comprehensive evaluation of common and distinguishing histological characteristics
Different types of dog hair loss are linked to problems starting the hair growth phase and early hair cycle ending.
research The Enrichment of Specific Hair Follicle-Associated Cell Populations in Plucked Hairs Offers an Opportunity to Study Gene Expression Underlying Hair Traits
Plucked hairs can be used instead of skin biopsies to study hair traits because they contain specific cells related to hair.
research Pigmented Casts
Pigmented casts are common in several hair loss conditions and can help diagnose specific types of alopecia.
research TGF-β2 and collagen play pivotal roles in the spheroid formation and anti-aging of human dermal papilla cells
Collagen and TGF-β2 help maintain hair cell shape and youthfulness.
research CUBIC Protocol Visualizes Protein Expression at Single Cell Resolution in Whole Mount Skin Preparations
The CUBIC protocol allows detailed 3D visualization of proteins in mouse skin biopsies.
research Age-associated thin hair displays molecular, structural and mechanical characteristic changes
Older thin hair is not just thinner but also has different shape, structure, and stiffness.
research Evaluation of Dermatoscopic (Trichoscopic) Patterns in Hair and Scalp Disorders: A Clinical Observational Study
Trichoscopy is effective for diagnosing hair and scalp disorders without invasive biopsies.
research Sudden onset hair loss and colour change
A man's sudden hair loss and color change to white was diagnosed as alopecia areata and it improved on its own after six months.
research Fullerene nanomaterials potentiate hair growth
Fullerene nanomaterials help hair grow faster and increase hair follicles.
research Validity and Advantages of Three-Dimensional High-Frequency Ultrasound in Dermatological Evaluation
3D high-frequency ultrasound can help diagnose skin and hair conditions without invasive biopsies.
research 14. Wound Healing; Cutaneous Therapy; Hair
Some treatments like topical oxygen and stem cells show promise for wound healing and hair growth, but evidence for modern dressings over traditional ones is limited.
research The current state of play in the histopathologic assessment of alopecia: two for one or one for two?
The document concludes that choosing the right biopsy site is crucial for accurate alopecia diagnosis, and combining methods can improve results.
