The novel viral pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has sparked uncertainties and controversies as to its origin, epidemiology, and natural course. In this situation, the medical disciplines have strived to contribute to a better understanding of the disease with the best available evidence gained from the scientific method of observation and statistics. The study of the cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 has evolved with the hope that they may be useful as markers for the disease, for prognostication, and further insights into the pathogenesis of the disease manifestations. In the wake of COVID-19, we have decided to take a more general look at the hair and scalp in infectious disease. Specifically, we must recognize that infectious diseases have wider preconditions besides the infectious agents, to include environmental and societal factors. Unless we also take account of the ecological, immunological, and behavioral circumstances that affect the emergence and spread ofinfectious diseases, including those of the hair and scalp, our knowledge of the pathogens and their connection to clinical disease presentation remain only partial and incomplete. This book aims at illustrating in detail the environmental and individual preconditions, the pathogens, the clinical presentations, and the management of the infectious diseases that affect the hair and scalp, to include superficial and deep bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, infestations, systemic infectious diseases causing hair loss, their effective treatment, and their prevention. Hair in Infectious Disease offers a complete overview of infectious hair disease and guides the practitioner in the choice of the best treatment; it will be a valued companion to board-certified dermatologists and dermatologists in training.

Die Quantität und Qualität des Haares stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit dem Ernährungszustand eines Menschen. Und doch gibt es kaum einen anderen Bereich, der mit so vielen Vorurteilen, falschen Vorstellungen und Diskussionen behaftet ist wie Ernährung und Gesundheit, ganz zu schweigen von der Haargesundheit. Die Gänge der Apotheken und Internet-Drogerien sind voll von Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln, die volles, dickes, üppiges Haar zu Preisen versprechen, die von verdächtig billig bis entmutigend überhöht reichen. Da ein erhebliches kommerzielles Interesse am Nährwert verschiedener Nahrungsergänzungsmittel besteht, stellt sich die zentrale Frage, ob eine Erhöhung des Nährstoffgehalts einer bereits ausreichenden Ernährung das Haarwachstum und die Haarqualität weiter fördern kann. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, Fakten von Fiktion zu unterscheiden und eine solide wissenschaftliche Grundlage für ernährungsbasierte Strategien für gesundes Haar zu schaffen, wobei gleichzeitig die Probleme und Grenzen unseres derzeitigen Verständnisses und unserer Praxis anerkannt werden.

This monograph provides specialists and primary care physicians who are interested in hair with the practical know-how needed to achieve successful management of male alopecia. Guidance is first provided on the examination of hair loss in men, covering such aspects as clinical examination, the role of trichoscopy and the trichogram, laboratory work-up and scalp biopsy. Diagnosis and treatment are then described in depth for a diverse range of conditions involving alopecia. Expert opinion is combined with the results of evidence-based medicine to provide the best current advice, highlighting the synergistic action of combination regimens and adjuvant treatments and explaining the concept of multitargeted treatment. All aspects of follow-up are covered, including compliance issues and expectation management. The role of hair care and cosmetics is also considered, with identification of potential adverse effects as well as benefits.

You could read every textbook available on hair growth and disorders, and still not be able to treat hair loss effectively. In every art, there are many techniques, but few principles. The only way to achieve success is to have a firm foundation of principles to build upon, and the right attitude about how to achieve your goals. This book offers a detailed guide that goes beyond the technical aspects of trichology and evidence based medicine, providing specialists and primary care physicians experienced in the basic management of hair loss with the additional know-how they need to master the ultimate challenge of difficult hair loss patients. First, the prerequisites for successful management of hair loss are reviewed – basically, making a diagnosis and understanding the patient and his or her problem. Then, guidelines on the management of difficult dermatologic conditions and of psychopathological disorders associated with hair loss are provided. Lastly, important aspects of follow-up are covered–specifically the problems of adverse effects, patient non-compliance, and their management–before concluding with exemplary case studies of successful treatment of alopecia and related conditions.

The study of hair aging focuses on two main streams of interest: On the one hand, the esthetic problem of aging hair and its management, in other words everything that happens outside the skin; Hair aging comprises hair shaft aging, and aging of the hair follicle.

Few dermatologic problems carry as many emotional overtones as hair loss in women, which is by far the most common hair problem encountered in daily clinical practice. Fortunately, a specific diagnosis can usually be established through the application of appropriate examinations and tests, and treatment suited to the diagnosis is likely to control the problem. This comprehensively illustrated monograph provides both specialists and primary care physicians with the practical know-how required for successful management of hair loss in female patients of all ages. The book opens by critically examining various myths about hair loss. The different examination techniques are then described, and the various forms of hair loss and their treatment are discussed in detail. Approaches to follow-up are outlined, and the management of patient expectations is carefully considered. The potential role of hair care and cosmetics is also explored in some depth.

Haare haben einen hohen gesellschaftlichen Stellenwert. Seit jeher sind die Bemühungen groß, Haarverlust zu verhindern oder rückgängig zu machen bzw. unerwünschte Haare zu entfernen. Das Haar ist in das Visier der Grundlagenforschung und des klinischen Interesses gerückt, was zum vertieften Verständnis der Biologie des Haarwachstums und seiner pathologischen Abweichungen geführt hat. Die Trichologie hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, mit Hilfe rationaler Pharmakotherapien und potenter Technologien die häufigsten Haarprobleme effektiv zu behandeln. Dieses Buch befasst sich mit Diagnostik und Therapie definierter Haarkrankheiten sowie der Psychologie und Psychopathologie der Haare und bietet jedem Interessierten das Fachwissen für eine rationale Praxis der medizinischen Trichologie.
