Treatment of Pattern Baldness with Fiber Implantation

The document is a letter to the editor suggesting a change in terminology in the field of dermatology. The author proposes that the term "telogen effluvium", which refers to a condition of temporary hair loss, should be replaced with "telogen defluxion". The author argues that "effluvium", according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is associated with a noxious or disgusting exhalation of odor, which is not a suitable description for hair loss. On the other hand, "defluxion" is defined as a "falling off (of hair)", which the author believes is a more accurate term.
