Glossary Body-Powered Prosthesis

prosthetic limb controlled by user's own body movements

A Body-Powered Prosthesis is a type of artificial limb that is operated using the user's own body movements. Typically, it involves a harness and cable system that translates shoulder or chest movements into mechanical actions, allowing the user to control the prosthetic limb. This type of prosthesis is often favored for its durability and the tactile feedback it provides to the user.

community Has anyone powered through the creatine shedding (via increased androgen receptor sensitivity) and stabilized?

9 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgen receptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.

community Haircafe: Are dutasteride tablets less effective than dutasteride gel capsules?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 38 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride tablets are less effective than softgel capsules because they require a fat-based environment for proper absorption. Softgel capsules, like Avodart, are designed to maximize bioavailability, while powdered tablets may result in significantly lower DHT suppression.

community 3 Month Finasterid and Minoxidil

in Is this regrowth? 825 upvotes 1 year ago

A 30-year-old experienced significant hair regrowth in three months using 1 mg of finasteride daily and 4 drops of 5% oral minoxidil solution, despite potential shedding and side effects like increased body hair. They also quit smoking, which may have contributed to the positive results.
