androgenetic alopecia trichoscopic images machine learning model

TLDR The Ewha Medical Journal is now in PubMed, has an AI article editor, and offers Korean reporting guidelines.

The Ewha Medical Journal (EMJ) has been included in PubMed Central and PubMed, enhancing its visibility and citation rates. Dr. Dohyung Rim has been appointed as an AI article editor to handle the rise in AI-related submissions. Notable studies in this issue include a machine learning model for early detection of androgenetic alopecia using trichoscopic images, and a model for classifying causes of death from certificates in Korea with 62.65% accuracy. The journal has also translated key reporting guidelines into Korean to support local researchers.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community What hair loss pattern is this?

in General 157 upvotes 4 weeks ago

The user noticed small circular hairless spots after a buzz cut and has been using finasteride, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil for hair loss. They are experiencing continuous shedding and thinning, and it is suggested they consult a dermatologist for a scalp examination and possible biopsy to determine if it's alopecia areata or androgenetic alopecia.

community I bought a microscope, how does my scalp/hairs look? I've been suffering diffuse thinning and hair loss after covid and never recovered (2 yrs ago) I eat healthy, in shape and workout.

in Progress Pictures 87 upvotes 1 year ago

A person with hair loss since COVID-19 is considering treatments like finasteride and minoxidil but is hesitant due to potential side effects. Suggestions include visiting a dermatologist, using a ketoconazole shampoo, and considering that post-COVID hair loss might be an autoimmune response.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 6 months ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.

community Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

in Research/Science 27 upvotes 3 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.

community 1 month Pyrilutamide. A non responders story to everything.

in Research/Science 218 upvotes 3 years ago

My hairline, I am only 23. This conversation is about a user's experience with treatments for androgenic alopecia, including finasteride, dutasteride, RU, minoxidil, progesterone, melatonin, LLLT, oral minoxidil, and Pyrilutamide. They have tried many treatments over the course of two years without seeing much success, and they are considering getting a hair system as a last resort.
