Introduction: It has been shown that low levels of pigmentation increase susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss in humans. For this reason, white populations develop more pronounced noise- induced hearing loss in comparison to black populations. Similarly, blue-eyed individuals exhibit greater temporary threshold shift than brown-eyed subjects; still, no strong correlation has been veri...

We report a case of a 6-year-old girl presented with diffuse scalp and body hair loss and developed multiple groups of follicular papules on the trunk. She was diagnosed as follicular mucinosis co-existed with alopecia universalis. Histopathological study supported the diagnosis and did not find malignancy cells.

Hair follicle offers an excellent model for systems biology and regenerative medicine. So far, the stages of hair follicle growth have been evaluated by histological examination. In this work, a noninvasive spectroscopy was proposed by measuring the diffuse reflectance of mouse skin and analyzing the melanin value. Results show that the skin diffuse reflectance was relatively high when hair fol...

A significant number of men and women experience hair loss. Up to 80% white 40% 50% are affected at some point in their lives. White more likely loss than other ethnicities. Many factors potentially contribute loss, including hormonal changes, physiologic stress, chronic illnesses, medications, dietary genetics, local trauma. People by often low self-esteem; personal, social, work-related chall...

Hair color reflects the health of an individual and discolored hair indicates pathological state. Palitam is a physiological process when it occurring in old age. Whereas Akala (premature graying) condition manifests early stages life. It characterized byVivarna Kesha (discolored hair) along with altered texture predominant Dosha attributes Vivarnata to Kesha.
