GlossaryAmniotic Band Syndrome (Amniotic Band Sequence)

fibrous bands in the womb restrict fetal development

Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS), also known as Constriction Band Syndrome, is a condition that occurs when fibrous bands of the amniotic sac entangle parts of the fetus, restricting blood flow and affecting development. This can lead to a range of complications, from minor constrictions to severe deformities or even amputations of limbs.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 4 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
