Treatment Options for Female Pattern Baldness

Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors but heredity is the number one reason why men and women lose their mane. Hereditary hair loss in men and women has the same main cause, which is a metabolite of the male hormone testosterone, called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) attacking and killing our hair follicles. DHT is also present in the female body. Men and women lose their hair not because of increased levels of DHT in their bodies but due to the susceptibility of their hair follicles to DHT attacks, although the exact mechanism and reasons why certain hairs, mostly those on the top of the head, are more vulnerable to such attacks are not yet know.

Treatment of Turner Syndrome

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects only females. This disease is characterized by growth problems and physical abnormalities. Let us take a look at the various treatments of Turner syndrome.

Normally, human beings have 46 chromosomes and two among them are sex chromosomes. Female sex chromosomes consist of two 'X' chromosomes, whereas in males, one 'X' chromosome is replaced with a 'Y' chromosome. In females affected with Turner syndrome, the second 'X' chromosome may be missing completely or partially. As this disease affects the second 'X' chromosome only, males are not affected (as their second sex chromosome is 'Y'). This disease is named after Henry Turner, the endocrinologist who described this condition in 1938.

Treatment of a Compound Fractures; Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy/Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome

Enlarge Image

The Accident:

Nine months ago I fell down a full flight of stairs, thirteen steps. This is a story about my experience of the treatment of my compound fractures.

I had flown in the night before to see my sister. In the morning we went on her usual hike, two big dogs in tow. My goal was to hike with the same stride of my sisters and touch the same rock she touched each morning as she travailed the path before her. It was not a competitive edge that led me, rather one of sharing. I wanted to share her space and her life and touch her rock that satisfied her goal of meeting that mark.
