Article Synopsis
- Dermoscopy and trichoscopy are noninvasive diagnostic tools used to identify structures and conditions related to hair and scalp disorders that aren't visible to the naked eye.
- A study involving 200 Egyptian children with focal non-cicatricial alopecia identified alopecia areata and tinea capitis as the most common diagnoses, with trichoscopy highlighting specific features that aid in distinguishing these conditions.
- The findings suggest that incorporating trichoscopy into routine evaluations greatly enhances diagnostic accuracy and helps in the effective treatment of hair loss disorders in children.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify additional hair loss disorders in women experiencing postpartum telogen effluvium (TE).
- Out of 200 participants, various diagnoses were made: 9.5% had only TE, while 56% had TE with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and 28% had both TE, AGA, and traction alopecia (TA).
- The findings suggest that postpartum TE can be linked to other hair loss conditions, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis and treatment to address these complexities.
Background: Since frontal hairline is the most characteristic feature of the face for both men and women, affecting the psychological state of patients, hair loss has been considered to be one of the most prominent esthetic problems. Hair loss either resulting from the androgenetic or nonandrogenetic origin is characterized by changes in the anterior line.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the causes of the frontal hairline recession in Egyptian female patients using trichoscopy and to detect the prevalence of each of those causes in Egyptian females.
Aim: To study serum levels of leptin and adiponectin in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection genotype-4 (HCV-4) related steatosis and fibrosis.
Methods: We prospectively studied 45 untreated men with chronic HCV-4, with proven steatosis (group I, 30 patients), and fibrosis (group II, 15 patients), on liver biopsy. In addition, 15 healthy men (group III), matched for age, and body mass index were included.
