Minoxidil induces hair growth in male pattern baldness and prolongs the anagen phase. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been reported to act synergistically with minoxidil in vivo: they can enhance more dense hair regrowth than either compound alone. We evaluated the effect of minoxidil combined with ATRA on hair growth in vitro. The effect of co-treatment of minoxidil and ATRA on hair growth ...

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive diagnostic technique for the observation of pigmented skin lesions, permitting recognition morphologic structures not visible by naked eye. The consists placing mineral oil, alcohol or even water on lesion that subsequently inspected using hand-held lens, dermatoscope, stereomicroscope, camera, digital imaging system. magnifications these various instruments range f...

BACKGROUND We have previously reported that men who look older than their contemporaries have a significantly higher risk for myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether persons with pronounced aging signs such as graying of hair, baldness, or facial wrinkles are prone to a shorter life span compared to their contemporaries. METHODS In the Copenhagen City Heart...

BACKGROUND Body hair shafts from the beard, trunk, and extremities can be used to treat baldness when patients have inadequate amounts of scalp donor hair, but reports in the literature concerning use of body hair to treat baldness are confined to case reports. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the outcome of body hair transplanted to bald areas of the scalp in selected patients. METHOD...

The search for intersecting brane solutions in supergravity is a large and profitable industry. Recently, attention has focused on finding localized forms of known ‘delocalized’ solutions. However, in some cases, a localized version of the delocalized solution simply does not exist. Instead, localized separated branes necessarily delocalize as the separation is removed. This phenomenon is relat...

SUMMARY What is wrong with the current understanding of etiopatho genesis of androgenic alopecia (AGA)? What is the most important question to ask to understand AGA? Why is that question skimped? Which findings are interpreted incorrectly? Is there anything that has not been discerned about AGA until today? What are the deceptive factors for investigators? Is it possible to snap the whole view ...
