A Cross-sectional Observational Study to Correlate the Trichoscopic Findings of Female Pattern Hair Loss with the Disease Severity and Underlying Histopathological Changes.

Background: The increasing prevalence of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is an alarming concern. Trichoscopy is an important bedside diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of FPHL, but there are very few studies correlating it with disease severity or histopathological findings which would provide a better insight to the treating clinician. Hence, we decided to take up this study.

A Cross-Sectional, Observational Study of the Clinico-Epidemiological Profile of Female Pattern Hair Loss in Western India and its Association with Metabolic Syndrome.

Background: The increasing prevalence of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is an alarming concern. There are many studies on FPHL in the world literature but there is a dearth of Indian data on the same.

Aims And Objectives: The present study aims to ascertain the demographic variables and clinical features of FPHL in Western India and its association with metabolic syndrome (MetS) to add over and above the existing data.

A Split Face Study to Compare the Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma Versus Normal Saline Injections in Acne Scars and to Assess the Utility of Ultrabiomicroscopic Sonography in Evaluation of Treatment Response.

Background: Multiple studies have proposed the effectiveness of Platelet rich plasma (PRP) in treatment of atrophic acne scars. But an unanswered question is - whether it is the presence of growth factors in PRP or the mechanical factors during the injection that are responsible for its effectiveness? Also, no study compares PRP as a monotherapy against inert solution like normal saline (NS), that too, in a split face pattern using a non-invasive objective evaluation method.

Aims: Primary - To compare the efficacy of intralesional PRP and NS injections, in the treatment of atrophic acne scars.
