...D.W.K. Cotton; J.E. Porters; D. Spruit The magnesium content of hair from alopecia areata atopica patients, from nonatopic dermatological patients and from normal controls has been studied using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The two groups of patients had lower means and ranges than did...

...D. Spruit; P.J.M. Bongaarts The nickel (Ni) concentrations of blood plasma, urine and scalp hair do not differ between hypersensitive and non-hypersensitive subjects. Those who are occupationally exposed have about ten times the control content of nickel in the plasma, urine and hair, whether...

...D. van Neste; M. Dumortier A case of tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome is reported. Abnormally thin hairs were present on the scalp of this patient. Microscopic measurements of scalp hair bulbs disclosed a relative hypoplasia of the dermal papilla which was inserted into a well-developed hair matrix...

...F. Crovato; A. Rebora; C. Crosti Peripilar hair casts are a pathological occurrence which is probably greater than the few reports seem to suggest. In 2 patients the authors have found fine, whitish nodular accretions of epithelial cells and keratinous debris surrounding the hair shafts...

.... clubbed fingers and ‘half-and-half nail’ syndrome, were not specific either. The hair changes mentioned by other authors in newborns and young children, i.e. sparse and brittle blond hair, presence of transverse opaque bands (‘irregularly banded hair’), were not present in our case. We only found changes...

...Murray Weiner The discoloration of white rat hair by acid preparations has been employed as a model reflecting local tissue destruction by intravital fixation as contrasted to tissue dissolution. Nitrate reduction products in equilibrium with nitrite ion in moderately strong acid result in much...

...S. Dekio; T. Nagashima; Y. Watanabe; J. Jidoi S-carboxymethylated (SCM) fibrous proteins from the scalp hair of a patient with hypotrichosis with keratosis pilaris (HTKP) and from that of a normal individual were analyzed using two-dimensional electrophoresis. One SCM fibrous protein component...

...M. Guarrera; A. Rebora Background : Male baldness develops because of an increased duration of the lag phase. Objective and Methods : To assess if this occurs also in balding women we studied 2 women with Ludwig type I–II patterned baldness for 2 years with monthly phototrichograms. Hairs were...

...R. Böni; R. Huch Böni; D. Tsambaos; M.A. Spycher; R.M. Trüeb Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) comprises a distinctive combination of hair, facial and bony abnormalities with variable expression. A 20-year-old man with TRPS was seen because of marked androgenetic alopecia. Scanning electron...

...A. Shafik The effect of different types of textile fabrics on hair growth was investigated in 40 mongrel dogs divided into 5 groups. An area of 10 × 20 cm on the dog’s back was shaved; half of this area was covered by a textile patch of 100% polyester material in the 1st group, 100% cotton...

...B.M. Lalević-Vasić; M.M. Nikolić; DJ. Polić; B. Radosavljević We report 4 new cases presenting with the characteristics of a recently described pilar dysplasia entitled ‘diffuse partial woolly hair’.

...U. Blume-Peytavi; U. Gieler; R. Hoffmann; S. Lavery; J. Shapiro The following is a review of a satellite symposium held at the EHRS Meeting in June 2006. U.B.P. reminded the audience that unwanted facial hair (UFH) is an important issue; over 40% of the women in the general population have some...

...Rolf Hoffmann Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss. The relatively strong concordance of the degree of baldness in fathers and sons is not consistent with a simple Mendelian trait, and a polygenic basis is considered to be most likely. So far, the predisposing genes...

... of the existing literature. Results: The original observation in 2 women was confirmed in 10 balding and non-balding males studied for 14 years in whom kenogen lasted about 4 months increasing up to about 7 months and affecting 80% of all hair cycles. In 2 women with progressing androgenetic alopecia studied...

...C. Piérard-Franchimont; G.E. Piérard The timing regulation of the hair growth phases is quite complex. We name teloptosis the termination of the telogen phase with hair shedding. The initiation of the next anagen I phase is independent from teloptosis. Both events are triggered by distinct factors...
