Glossary Disease Modeling

scientific method to simulate and predict disease behavior

Disease Modeling is a scientific method used to understand how diseases develop and spread within populations. It involves creating mathematical or computational simulations to predict the course of a disease, evaluate potential interventions, and inform public health strategies. This approach is crucial for planning responses to outbreaks and understanding the dynamics of diseases like COVID-19, influenza, or even conditions like alopecia.

community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 41 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.

community Hair loss research is a money grab

227 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.

community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)

in Chat 237 upvotes 1 year ago

There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.

community Been off Finasteride for two months, it definitely impacts sex drive.

33 upvotes 6 years ago

Stopping finasteride increased sex drive for some, while others had no change or different side effects. Despite concerns, many continue using finasteride for its effectiveness in preventing hair loss.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
