    GlossaryClinical Presentation (Clinical Characteristics)

    collection of signs and symptoms observed in a patient

    Clinical presentation refers to the collection of signs and symptoms that a patient exhibits, which are used by healthcare professionals to diagnose a condition. For example, in the context of alopecia, the clinical presentation might include noticeable hair thinning, bald patches, or complete hair loss, along with any associated symptoms like itching or inflammation. This term helps both laypeople and professionals understand the observable and reported aspects of a medical condition.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
