‘My wig has been my journey's companion’: perceived effects of an aesthetic care programme for Italian women suffering from chemotherapy‐induced alopecia
Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:33:44 +0100 | European Journal of Cancer Care
This study explored the perceived effects of an aesthetic care/wig programme for Italian women suffering from chemotherapy‐induced alopecia. Despite advances in the treatment of many side effects of chemotherapy, alopecia remains difficult to resolve. Literature suggests that patients' reactions to alopecia and camouflaging strategies depend on their gender, individual characteristics, social context, and culture. A qualitative study was designed involving 20 patients from Sicily (Italy), who participated in an aesthetic care programme. Data were collected through semi‐structured interviews, and an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was conducted on transcriptions. Our findings showed that, even if expected, alopecia is experienced as a traumatic event that challenges a woman's f...

“A detective look” at hair biopsies from African American patients
Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | British Journal of Dermatology
Conclusion:  The clues reported here aim to help the dermatopathologists to: recognize at a glance that they are dealing with a scalp biopsy from an African American patient; make the most probable diagnosis by connecting the clues (even if only vertical sections are present) and understand the morphologic basis for the susceptibility of the African hair to damage.

Regrowth of black hair in two red‐haired alopecia areata patients
Mon, 20 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | Australasian Journal of Dermatology
We report two cases of red‐haired men who were afflicted with patch‐type AA. Astonishingly, the hair regrowth was coloured black, in contrast to the surrounding red hair, an event which has been reported only once in the past after cyclophosphamide administration. This phenomenon raises some interesting questions regarding the significance of pigmentation and the melanocortin‐1 receptor in AA pathogenesis. (Source: Australasian Journal of Dermatology)

Late‐onset alopecia areata: A retrospective study of 73 patients from Taiwan

Conclusion  Late‐onset AA is characterized by marked female predominance and milder disease activity with increasing age. The link to cancer in the old age remains to be determined. The influence of aging on the pathogenesis and prognosis of AA deserves further studies. (Source: Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology)
