    GlossaryFractures (Broken bones)

    partial or complete breaks in bone continuity

    Fractures, commonly known as broken bones, occur when there is a partial or complete break in the continuity of a bone. This can result from trauma, such as a fall or collision, or from conditions that weaken the bones, like osteoporosis. Fractures are classified by their complexity (simple or compound), location, and the pattern of the break (e.g., transverse, spiral, comminuted). Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to ensure proper healing and to prevent complications.

      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.

      The conversation is about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride, in different populations. Some users believe that the results of Japanese studies may not be relevant to Caucasian men, especially young ones, and that East Asians may respond better to these treatments. Others argue that clinical studies should be the basis for decision-making, while acknowledging that individual responses to medications can vary.
