discussion: establishing the etiology, using the evidence–based strategies to improve hirsutism, and treating the underlying disorder, are essential for proper management of women with hirsutism. case presentation: the case was a 17-year-old female with severe hirsutism, oligomenorrhea, and obesity. she was evaluated to identify the etiology and diagnosed as a case of polycystic ovarian syndrom...

OBJECTIVES The primary goal of this study was to assess the effect of postoperative hair-washing on incision infection and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in craniotomy patients. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the effect of postoperative hair-washing on incision infection and HRQOL, 2) provide evidence to support postoperative patient hygienic care, and 3) develop neur...

1. The physiological properties of the group of long hair sensilla of the trochanteral hair plate in the cockroach metathoracic leg were studied. The sensilla were divided into type I and type II according to their responses to imposed displacements. 2. Type I hair sensilla responded to dynamic displacements whereas type II hair sensilla responded to both dynamic and static displacements. The h...

Keratins are tough, fibrous proteins found as the major protein component in hair. Chemical hair removal is harsh and results severe toxicity pollution, hence, a need for non-chemical enzymatic process. The aim of this study to characterise keratinase from isolated keratin-degrading Bacillus licheniformis-K51, subtilis-K50 sp.-K53 investigate its potential removal. collagenolytic ability kerati...

We present two uncommon cases of adolescent girls with hair-thread strangulation of the labia minora. The first 14-year-old girl presented with a painful pedunculated labial lump (Fig. 1). The lesion was covered with exudate. She was examined under sedation and found a coil of long hair forming a tourniquet around a labial segment. Thread removal resulted to immediate relief from pain, and grad...

Several skin conditions are more common in persons with skin of color, including dermatosis papulosa nigra, pseudofolliculitis barbae, acne keloidalis nuchae, and keloids. Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a common benign condition characterized by skin lesions that do not require treatment, although several options are available for removal to address cosmetic concerns. Pseudofolliculitis barbae oc...

Brain tumors, which is one of the destructive forms of human being’s cancers, are the second most common children’s cancers. Brain tumors may have an inherited (small percent), acquired reasons due to environmental factors. Nowadays advances in cosmetic industry have increased our ability in the field of youth and beauty. Hair dye products are such innovations. Recent studies showed...

melanin protects the skin from the harmful effects of sunlight, but unwanted hyperpigmentation can also produce significant psychological stress. Melanin is synthesized in the melanosomes in melanocytes, which produce melanin by a process that involves the transformation of tyrosine into 3,4dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) by the enzyme tyrosinase and the subsequent transformation of L-DOPA into...

In hair cells of the inner ear, robust Ca2+/H+ exchange mediated by plasma-membrane Ca2+-ATPase would rapidly acidify mechanically sensitive hair bundles without efficient removal of H+. We found that, whereas the basolateral membrane of vestibular hair cells from the frog saccule extrudes H+ via an Na+-dependent mechanism, bundles rapidly remove H+ in the absence of Na+ and HCO3(-), even when ...
