   Extractions: Weight Control WHY HAIR LOSS OCCURS Most people lose about 50 to 100 strands of hair per day. The hair falls out naturally and is replaced when new hairs grow in. As we age, this natural growth slows down and thinning and baldness may occur. Hair loss can also be caused by illness, stress, medications and improper hair care. Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss. Unfortunately, this is a hereditary condition and there's little that can be done about it. Although it may start in the late teens, male pattern baldness usually begins around middle age. WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT BALDNESS Avoid over-brushing or over-combing your hair. Keep your exposure to chlorinated pools at a minimum. Wear a hat when you're out in the sun. Use mild shampoos. Avoid blow-drying your hair. ALTERNATIVES FOR BALDNESS SURGICAL HAIR REPLACEMENT Available since the 1950s, this low-risk procedure involves transplanting small plugs of hair-bearing skin into tiny holes in the scalp. Local anesthesia and sedatives are given during the surgery. After surgery, scabs form around the transplanted hair grafts. When the scabs disappear, the hair falls out. New hair then starts to grow within a few months. It may take a year or two of waiting and filling in areas on the scalp before you're pleased with your appearance. The cost can run in the range of $2,000 per surgery with three or four surgeries needed to cover the average bald area.

Most of Braswell's marketing is done under the name Gero Vita International . which offers a large line of "dietary supplements" from its Web site and by mail. Its brochures describe it as "specialists in ailment-targeted natural formulas." Since 1988, the company and its sister corporations have been blanketing the country with mailings under various names and addresses in the United States and Canada.

   Extractions: Researchers Identify Gene for Inherited Baldness A dermatology researcher has discovered the first human gene associated with hair loss. The new gene, called hairless, is linked to a severe form of inherited baldness and may be the trigger that turns on the entire human hair cycle. The discovery could lead to a better understanding of the hair cycle and, eventually, more effective treatments for various forms of hair loss. The research, reported in the Jan. 30, 1998, issue of Science, suggests the gene initiates a cascade of events that stimulate hair growth. Each step along this pathway may provide new clues for male pattern baldness and other forms of hair loss, or alopecia. "The discovery of this new gene gives us endless possibilities that may allow us to effectively treat hair loss and possibly baldness within the next five years," says the principal investigator, Dr. Angela M. Christiano, Herbert Irving Assistant Professor of Dermatology. "It is now within our reach to design ways to grow hair, remove hair, even dye hair genetically and-best yet-this can all be accomplished topically, reducing possible side effects." Dr. Christiano's team noticed striking similarities between hairless mice that have been used in dermatology research for nearly 50 years and a rare genetic form of balding called alopecia universalis that involves hair loss over the entire body. The researchers relied on genetic information from families affected by the disorder in a village in Pakistan. By comparing the known mouse gene with human chromosomes, the team identified the first healthy trigger gene for hair growth and the mutation that causes this type of alopecia.

The patient says, "If you don't mind, I'd like a second opinion." The doctor says, "OK, you've got a bad heart, too." What sounds like a joke from a Rodney Dangerfield routine actually is one of the findings published today from the ongoing Physicians' Health Study, conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The study found that men with male pattern baldness may be at increased risk for heart disease. Published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, a journal of the American Medical Association, the study analyzed baldness and heart disease among 22,071 men ages 40 to 84.

    Extractions: Hair loss has unquestionably become a matter of much concern, not only among males of all ages, but also among a growing number of females. Hair Loss Influences Men and Women According to a recent survey, there are more than 50 million men suffering from some kind of hair loss in United States and Canada. Research shows most men describes hair loss as "depressing" or "stressful." and feel less attractive, insecure or past their prime. Many men feel that hair loss has changed their lives. Some feel it has ruined it. At the very least, they feel they have become different people because of it, or they have missed chances or let opportunities slip away because of the way they've felt about themselves and the way they look. Women's situation isn't any better than men at all. Nearly 33 million women over age 18 in United States and Canada experience hair thinning or balding. Yet, almost 40 percent of these women never expected it to happen to them. Most women with hair thinning are reluctant to admit the problem and keep from getting the help.

    Extractions: BBC Science Reporter Pallab Ghosh: Women may see it as sexy, but bald men often find it embarrassing Scientists have taken another step forward in their search for a cure for baldness. Researchers at the Howard Hughes Institute at the University of Chicago have managed to get hair follicles to form in the mature skin cells of mice. This is remarkable because follicle formation is a once-in-a-lifetime event that ordinarily happens only during early the earliest stages of human development. Once hair follicles are gone, they are not replaced. Normal hair: A non genetically-engineered mouse This latest research, published in the journal Cell, suggests a molecule called beta-catenin may be the key messenger that tells embryonic cells - cells that have yet to develop in specific directions - to become hair follicles. If this is correct, the scientists may be able to use this knowledge to develop treatments that will promote the re-growth of hair in bald men.

    Extractions: Color Dilution Alopecia By Teri Dickinson, DVM Alopecia (hair loss) related to dilute coat color is a recognized condition in dogs. The currently accepted medical terminology for this condition is Color Dilution Alopecia (CDA). The condition may affect any dilutely pigmented dog, regardless of coat color . This condition was previously known as Blue Balding Syndrome, Blue Doberman Syndrome, Color Mutant Alopecia, Congenital Alopecia, etc. The term Color Mutant Alopecia arose because dilutes were at one time mutations from the deep pigment occurring in wild canines. Dilutes are now a regularly occurring form of pigmentation in many breeds and have been for hundreds of years. The term mutation is therefore not applicable to dilute individuals. References to Doberman Pinschers or blue hair coats arose because the condition is common in blue individuals of this breed, but it is not limited to either blue dogs or Dobermans. The term congenital means present at birth, but CDA affected dogs are born with normal hair coats.
