01:28Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent obsessions, compulsions, or both, which consume significant time and interfere with daily functioning. Obsessions involve persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that evoke anxiety. Common examples include irrational fears of contamination or harm. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, individuals...

01:10Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon
The tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) phenomenon is a cognitive experience characterized by a temporary inability to retrieve specific information from memory despite having a strong feeling of knowing the information. Although individuals cannot access the target word or detail, they frequently recall related elements, such as its initial letter, syllable count, or context. This partial retrieval often causes frustration, as one might recognize a familiar face or know that a name starts with a specific...
01:30Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...
01:16Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair and Hair Follicles
Hair and hair follicles are integral components of the integumentary system. Hair is a filamentous structure composed mainly of a protein called keratin. It is found on the surface of the skin throughout the body, except for areas such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Hair strands originate at the epidermal penetration called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part...

01:18Trichomoniasis
Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis, one of the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infections in the United States. This extracellular parasite primarily colonizes the lower genitourinary tract in women—particularly the vagina—and in men, the urethra and prostate. Its structural and functional adaptations enable its survival, motility, and pathogenicity within the host environment.Structural Features and Host EntryT.

Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Psychiatry
Background:
- Trichotillomania is a mental disorder characterized by the recurrent, irresistible urge to pull out one's hair.
- Tonsure trichotillomania, a specific form, involves hair pulling resulting in a tonsure-like pattern, often seen in religious contexts but also in psychiatric cases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report an unusual case of tonsure trichotillomania.
- To highlight its rarity and clinical significance.
- To contribute to the understanding of trichotillomania variants.
Main Methods:
- Case report presentation.
- Clinical observation and patient history.
- Review of relevant literature.
Main Results:
- An unusual clinical presentation of tonsure trichotillomania was observed.
- The case underscores the diverse manifestations of hair-pulling disorders.
- Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges were noted.
Conclusions:
- Tonsure trichotillomania, though rare, represents a distinct clinical entity within the spectrum of trichotillomania.
- Recognition of this pattern is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
- Further research into the etiology and treatment of such specific variants is warranted.
