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 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 Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
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 Vertical vs. Transverse Sections
Both vertical and transverse sections are useful for diagnosing alopecia, but using both methods together is best.
research Vertical and transverse sections of alopecia biopsy specimens: Combining the two to maximize diagnostic yield
Using both vertical and transverse sections for alopecia biopsies improves diagnosis without extra cost.
research Histopathologic Spectrum of Alopecia.
Combining vertical and horizontal sectioning improves scalp biopsy analysis for alopecia.
research Histopathology of alopecia: a clinicopathological approach to diagnosis
The conclusion is that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires good teamwork between skin doctors and lab experts.
research Histologic features of alopecia areata other than peribulbar lymphocytic infiltrates
Other common signs, not just the well-known immune cells around hair bulbs, are important for diagnosing hair loss from alopecia areata.
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 The histopathology of alopecia areata in vertical and horizontal sections
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections are better for diagnosing alopecia areata, showing fewer hair follicles and more miniaturized hairs.
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 What’s New in the Histologic Evaluation of Alopecia and Hair-Related Disorders?
New biopsy techniques and tools improve alopecia diagnosis, and both too much and too little selenium can cause hair loss.
research Diagnostic and predictive value of horizontal sections of scalp biopsy specimens in male pattern androgenetic alopecia
Horizontal scalp biopsy sections effectively diagnose and predict MPAA, with follicular density and inflammation impacting hair regrowth.
research ‘Follicular Swiss cheese’ pattern - another histopathologic clue to alopecia areata
Dilated follicular infundibula and increased catagen/telogen follicles are key indicators for diagnosing alopecia areata.
research Primary scalp alopecia: new histopathological tools, new concepts and a practical guide to diagnosis
The document concludes that new methods improve the accuracy of diagnosing scalp alopecia and challenges the old way of classifying it.
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 Dermatopathology of Common Hair Problems
Examining scalp biopsies in different ways helps better diagnose hair loss types.
research Scalp Biopsy and Diagnosis of Common Hair Loss Problems
Scalp biopsy helps tell apart permanent and temporary hair loss types and guides treatment.
research Dealing with Loss
The document suggests simplifying alopecia diagnosis and improving techniques for better accuracy.
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 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy as a Tool for the Investigation of Skin Drug Delivery Systems and Diagnosis of Skin Disorders
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) is a useful tool for studying how drugs interact with skin and diagnosing skin disorders, despite some limitations.
research Computerized morphometry and three-dimensional image reconstruction in the evaluation of scalp biopsy from patients with non-cicatricial alopecias
The study suggests computer-assisted analysis of scalp biopsies could improve hair loss diagnosis but needs more validation.
research Histopathology of Scarring and Nonscarring Hair Loss
The conclusion is that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of tissue samples and understanding of clinical symptoms.
research Response to Letter to the Editor
Inflammation and fibrosis are important factors in hair loss, but more research with better control samples is needed.
research Temporal triangular alopecia
Temporal triangular alopecia is a lifelong condition with hairless patches on the side of the head that may be present from birth.
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 The reliability of horizontally sectioned scalp biopsies in the diagnosis of chronic diffuse telogen hair loss in women
Horizontally sectioned scalp biopsies are more reliable for diagnosing hair loss in women when three samples are taken instead of one.
research Management of hair loss diseases
New treatments for hair loss show promise, but more development is needed, especially for tough cases.
