    Chapter 2 Provisional chapter Anatomy and Physiology of Hair Anatomy and Physiology of Hair Bilgen Erdoğan ğ AdditionalBilgen Erdo informationan is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67269 Abstract Hair is one of the characteristic features of mammals and has various functions such as protection against external factors; producing sebum, apocrine sweat and pheromones; impact on social and sexual interactions; thermoregulation and being a resource for stem cells. Hair is a derivative of the epidermis and consists of two distinct parts: the follicle and the hair shaft. The follicle is the essential unit for the generation of hair. The hair shaft consists of a cortex and cuticle cells, and a medulla for some types of hairs. Hair follicle has a continuous growth and rest sequence named hair cycle. The duration of growth and rest cycles is coordinated by many endocrine, vascular and neural stimuli and depends not only on localization of the hair but also on various factors, like age and nutritional habits. Distinctive anatomy and physiology of hair follicle are presented in this chapter. Extensive knowledge on anatomical and physiological aspects of hair can contribute to understand and heal different hair disorders. Keywords: hair, follicle, anatomy, physiology, shaft 1. Introduction The hair follicle is one of the characteristic features of mammals serves as a unique miniorgan (Figure 1). In humans, hair has various functions such as protection against external factors, sebum, apocrine sweat and pheromones production and thermoregulation. The hair also plays important roles for the individual’s social and sexual interaction [1, 2].

Maria” Clinical Emergency Children’s Hospital, Iasi ABSTRACT Introduction. A bezoar is a conglomerate comprising partially digested or undigested matters, impacted in the stomach. Trichobezoars (agglomerations of hair) occur most frequently in patients with mental disorders (tricho- tillomania) and represent a rare pathology that can entail diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Material and method. We are reporting a gastric trichobezoar case in 12 years old female patient with no pathological personal history, admitted for epigastric pain and food vomiting. Clinical examination revealed an epigastric formation of approx. 5/3cm, rigid, immobile and adhering to the deep structure, while laboratory tests revealed a mild microcytic hypochromic anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy provided visualization of a giant trichobezoar of approximately 17 cm, visible from the subcardial region down to the antral region, hooked by one hair onto an area with a pseudopolypoid inflammatory aspect located in the prepyloric region.

No portion herein may be reproduced in any form without written permission. This booklet is in no way intended to replace, dictate or fully define evaluation and treatment by a qualified physician. It is intended solely as an aid for patients seeking general information on issues in reproductive medicine. Copyright © 2016 by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE Hirsutism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) A Guide for Patients Revised 2016 A glossary of italicized words is located at the end of this booklet. INTRODUCTION Hirsutism is the excessive growth of facial or body hair on women. Hirsutism can be seen as coarse, dark hair that may appear on the face, chest, abdomen, back, upper arms, or upper legs. Hirsutism is a symptom of medical disorders associated with the hormones called androgens. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), in which the ovaries produce excessive amounts of androgens, is the most common cause of hirsutism and may affect up to 10% of women. Hirsutism is very common and often improves with medical management. Prompt medical attention is important because delaying treatment makes the treatment more difficult and may have long-term health consequences. OVERVIEW OF NORMAL HAIR GROWTH Understanding the process of normal hair growth will help you understand hirsutism. Each hair grows from a follicle deep in your skin. As long as these follicles are not completely destroyed, hair will continue to grow even if the shaft, which is the part of the hair that appears above the skin, is plucked or removed.

When this number is exceeded, a clinical may consider the diagnosis of telogen effluvium . The most common causes of telogen effluvium include - low iron - thyroid abnormalities - crash diets - weight loss - starting and stopping birth control - medications - high stress - Telogen effluvium that goes on many months without obvious cause is referred to as chronic telogen effluvium. See our handout on chronic telogen effluvium to learn more about this distinct condition. Dr. Donovan – BLOGS ON TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM BLOG 1: HOW CAN ONE IDENTIFY A TELOGEN HAIR? 1 Hairs that are shed from the scalp are known as telogen hairs. These hairs lack pigment at the very end and do not have a root sheath around the ends either. Telogen hairs are known as "club hairs." I always encourage my patients to bring in hairs they shed if they are worried about the type of hair they are seeing. 99.9 % of the time the hairs they see are telogen hairs. About 30-70 telogen hairs are released from the scalp each day. In some hair loss conditions (such as telogen effluvium), an increased number of telogen hairs are released every day BLOG 2: Does normal hair shedding occur in an even Distribution? I'm often asked if hair shedding under normal circumstances occurs equally all over the scalp.

  • Kobena Mercer in Black Hair/Style Politics
    new formations NUMBER 3 WINTER 1987 Kobena Mercer BLACK HAIR/STYLE POLITICS Some time ago Michael Jackson's hair caught fire when he was filming a television commercial. Perhaps the incident became newsworthy because it brought together two seemingly opposed news-values: fame and misfortune. But judging by the way it was reported in one black community newspaper, The Black Voice, Michael's unhappy accident took on a deeper significance for a cultural politics of beauty, style and fashion. In its feature article, 'Are we proud to be black?', beauty pageants, skin-bleaching cosmetics and the curly-perm hair-style epitomized by Jackson's image were interpreted as equivalent signs of a 'negative' black aesthetic. All three were roundly condemned for negating the 'natural' beauty of blackness and were seen as identical expressions of subjective enslavement to Eurocentric definitions of beauty, thus indicative of an 'inferiority complex'.1 The question of how ideologies of 'the beautiful' have been defined by, for and - for most of the time - against black people remains crucially important. But at the same time I want to take issue with the widespread argument that, because it involves straightening, the curly-perm hair-style represents either a wretched imitation of white people's hair or, what amounts to the same thing, a diseased state of black consciousness. I have a feeling that the equation between the curly-perm and skin-bleaching cremes is made to emphasize the potential health risk sometimes associated with the chemical contents of hair-straightening products. By exaggerating this marginal risk, a moral grounding is constructed for judgements which are then extrapolated to assumptions about mental health or illness.

    Proudly Introducing…. Presented by: Dianne Colace Nurse Practitioner & CEO WELCOME TO TONIGHT’S SEMINAR! All About Laser Hair Removal Differences in Laser vs. IPL Introduction to BARE Before and After Pictures Important Tips when Choosing A Laser Center Benefits of LHR at Bare WHAT EXACTLY IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL AND HOW DOES IT WORK? ~A Laser is device that emits a wavelength of light. These light waves end up as heat inside the skin causing hair follicle deactivation where the hair grows. The light energy is only absorbed into the very surface layers of the skin, leaving surrounding tissue unaffected by the laser energy. WHY 8 TREATMENTS? This gives hair follicles time to shed post treatment and allows hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase to transition back to the active growth phase. HOW DOES LASER DIFFER FROM IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT) ? -Laser emits synchronized light waves of the same wavelength, providing very specific and intense targeted energy delivery to the hair follicle. It is a high technology based light source that is able to focus in on the hair follicle. -IPL defined in encyclopedia: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) epilators (electrical device) though technically not containing a Laser, use Xenon Flash Lamps that emit full spectrum light. IPL-based methods are now commonly (but incorrectly) referred to as "laser hair removal". IPL on the emits a spectrum of various wavelengths of light scattering throughout the surrounding tissue.
