Since 1959, when Orentreich described the phenomenon of donor dominance in androgenic alopecia, thus paving the way for body-hair transplants, new techniques have not ceased to appear. During the last 15 years, the perception of hair transplantation as an aggressive technique with an artificial result has finally disappeared thanks to the u...

BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma has shown beneficial effects in the treatment of androgenic alopecia with its growth factor properties in accelerating the dermal papilla. Dermoscopy is a noninvasive method that allows the in vivo evaluation of microstructures not visible to the naked eye. OBJECTIVE To ascertain the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with microneedling, and to compare the pre-...

Alopecia areata incognita, also known as diffuse alopecia areata, is a rare form of alopecia areata described predominantly in young women. In cases of alopecia areata incognita, the typical patchy distribution of hair loss in classical alopecia areata is absent, but abrupt and intense hair loss is characteristic. While the clinical picture presented by this disease closely resembles that of te...

We investigated the effect of long-term supraphysiologic doses of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) on atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) in male bodybuilders. We clearly demonstrated that long-term consumption of supraphysiologic doses of AAS is associated with higher values of inter- and intra-AEMD in healthy young bodybuilders.
