Hair and humor - 1 - & #8220;The only problem & #8221;
Ganesh S PaiInternational Journal of Trichology 2019 11(4):143-143 Perhaps the best solution for hair loss is a little bit of philosophy and a lot of humor.

Injectable-platelet-rich fibrin-smart blood with stem cells for the treatment of alopecia: A report of three patients
Ritika Arora, Sagrika ShuklaInternational Journal of Trichology 2019 11(3):128-131 Hair loss or alopecia in males is very common, and so is its treatment. Until now, platelet-rich plasma has been in use for hair regeneration, which has shown results but lacks regenerative potential as compared to platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). Injectable-PRF (i-PRF) is advanced version of PRF in liquid form which can be injected and contains stem cells with high regenerative potential. Hair regeneration in Type VI and Type VII was observed which are difficult to treat. Hair growth with i-PRF has better regenerative potential. All cases repor...

Correlation of trichoscopic findings in androgenetic alopecia and the disease severity
Conclusion: As trichoscopy can reveal early variations in hair follicle diameter long before hair loss becomes clinically visible and has the advantage of examining larger areas in a relatively short duration makes it a practical choice for clinic set up. It adds new easily recognizable images for visual teledermatology. Besides, the easy documentation allows the doctor and patient to view the video graphics images simultaneously and helps in evaluating a therapeutic response by comparing it with pre-treatment images.

Ralph Michel Trueb, Maria Fernanda Reis Gavazzoni DiasInternational Journal of Trichology 2019 11(3):97-100 Roman Catholic tradition has made Saints the protectors of various aspects of life.

The clues to their identity are rather given in their appearance or in what they are hold...
