GlossaryHypermobility Spectrum Disorder

group of conditions with overly flexible joints causing pain and instability

Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) is a group of conditions characterized by joints that move beyond the normal range of motion, often leading to pain, instability, and an increased risk of injury. It encompasses a range of symptoms from benign joint hypermobility to more severe forms that can affect daily functioning and quality of life. HSD is distinct from other connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, although they can share similar features.

in Research/Science 8 upvotes 2 months ago

A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
