GlossaryUltrasound (Sonography)

medical imaging using high-frequency sound waves for internal body structures

Ultrasound, also known as ultrasonography or sonography, is a medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures within the body. It is commonly used to monitor fetal development during pregnancy, diagnose conditions in organs such as the liver, heart, and kidneys, and guide procedures like needle biopsies. The sound waves are emitted by a transducer, which also captures the echoes that bounce back, creating real-time visual representations on a monitor.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
