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 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 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 Horizontal and vertical sections of scalp biopsy specimens from dermatomyositis patients with scalp involvement
Scalp biopsies from dermatomyositis patients show chronic hair loss without scarring, with mucin and blood vessel changes being very common.
research A study of serial vertical sectioning of scalp biopsies to increase the histological diagnostic yield in alopecias
Cutting scalp biopsies in consecutive slices improves diagnosis of hair loss conditions.
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 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 ‘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 Histopathologic profile of alopecia areata in Indian patients
The study found that the cause of alopecia areata can be identified through tissue analysis, and vertical sections are enough for diagnosis.
research Histology of the Human Hair Follicle
Understanding hair follicle structure is key for treating hair disorders and could help develop new treatments.
research Dermatopathology of Common Hair Problems
Examining scalp biopsies in different ways helps better diagnose hair loss types.
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 Scalp Biopsy and Diagnosis of Common Hair Loss Problems
Scalp biopsy helps tell apart permanent and temporary hair loss types and guides treatment.
research A Brief Review of Scalp Biopsy and its Interpretation
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss types accurately.
research Hair Diameter Variation in Different Vertical Regions of the Occipital Safe Donor Area
Hair thickness decreases from the upper to lower areas of the back of the head, affecting hair transplant results.
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 ‘A detective look’ at hair biopsies from African-American patients
Recognizing specific features of African-American hair can help diagnose hair loss conditions.
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 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 Pathologic Diagnosis of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia on Horizontal Sections
Horizontal sections of scalp biopsies are good for diagnosing Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia and help customize treatment.
research A Comprehensive Approach to Hair Pathology of Horizontal Sections
A new method using visual aids to diagnose hair diseases was effective after brief training.
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.
