research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections in the evaluation of alopecia biopsy specimens
Using both vertical and transverse sections gives a better diagnosis of alopecia than using one method alone.
research Vertical vs. Transverse Sections
Both vertical and transverse sections are useful for diagnosing alopecia, but using both methods together is best.
research Vertical vs. transverse sections of scalp biopsy specimens: a pilot study on the comparison of the diagnostic value of two techniques in alopecia
Transverse scalp sections are better for diagnosing non-scarring hair loss, while vertical sections are better for a specific scarring hair loss called lichen planopilaris.
research A study of the histopathological features of alopecias on transverse sections of scalp biopsies
Transverse scalp biopsy sections help diagnose different alopecias by showing hair follicle details and inflammation patterns.
research A comparison of vertical versus transverse sections for the histopathologic diagnosis of alopecias
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 Dermoscopic findings and comparison of usefulness of longitudinal versus transversal sections in the histological diagnosis of alopecia X
Transversal biopsy sections are better than longitudinal sections for diagnosing alopecia X.
research Transversely Sectioned Mini-Punch Grafting: A Novel Technique for Effective Treatment of Hairline Vitiligo
The new technique effectively treats hairline vitiligo with repigmentation and hair regrowth.
research Nevus psiloliparus: Newly described histopathological features from transverse sections
Nevus psiloliparus lacks mature hair follicles but keeps other skin structures intact.
research Pachyonychia Congenita-Associated Alopecia. A Microscopic Analysis Using Transverse Section Technique
PC-associated alopecia has unique microscopic features.
research Contrast enhanced phototrichogram (CE-PTG): an improved non-invasive technique for measurement of scalp hair dynamics in androgenetic alopecia–validation study with histology after transverse sectioning of scalp biopsies.
CE-PTG is a better method for analyzing hair growth in androgenetic alopecia.
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 Diagnostic accuracy measures for vertical and transverse scalp biopsies in cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias
Transverse scalp biopsies are more accurate for diagnosing non-cicatricial alopecia, but examining both types is best for accuracy.
research Hair anatomy for the clinician
Understanding hair follicle anatomy helps diagnose hair disorders.
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.
research Non-scarring Alopecias in Iranian Patients: A Histopathological Study With Hair Counts.
The most effective way to diagnose non-scarring hair loss is by transverse sectioning, and some cases, particularly in males with inflammation around hair follicles, might be curable.
research Dealing with Loss
The document suggests simplifying alopecia diagnosis and improving techniques for better accuracy.
research Quantitative morphometric analysis of hair follicles in alopecia areata
Automated image analysis helps diagnose and monitor alopecia areata by efficiently measuring hair follicles.
research Hair That Is Difficult to Manage in a Hispanic Girl
A 9-year-old Hispanic girl has Uncombable Hair Syndrome, which may improve with age and biotin treatment.
research Observation on Hair Fiber Microstructure of Blue fox,Mink and Otter Rabbit
Otter rabbit, mink, and blue fox fur can be identified by their unique hair structures.
research Inflammatory and non-melanocytic tumoral pathology of the nail
The document concludes that understanding nail anatomy is key for diagnosing nail diseases, early signs of nail melanoma may allow for less aggressive treatment, and specific genetic mutations are important in thyroid cancer prognosis and treatment.
research Genetics of thyroid lesions updated
RET mutation is important in familial medullary thyroid carcinoma, and BRAF mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma is linked to more aggressive cancer and higher death rates.
research Abstracts from the Symposium on the Pathophysiology of Hair Growth Organized by the Institute of Dermatology at the Royal Society of Medicine, 29 October 1987
The symposium concluded that hair growth involves complex processes, including the hair follicle life cycle, the role of the dermal papilla, hair strength, pigmentation, and the impact of diseases and treatments like minoxidil on hair and skin.
research Can you diagnose hair loss (Non-scarring alopecia)
Non-scarring hair loss can be diagnosed with two 4mm punch biopsies, one cut vertically and the other transversely.
research C003 Histopathology of the alopecias
Examining scalp tissue under a microscope helps diagnose and understand hair loss diseases.
research Utility of Horizontal Sections of Scalp Biopsies in Differentiating between Androgenetic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Scalp biopsies help tell apart androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.
