5 / 390 resultsresearch The Composite Galeal Frontalis Pericranial Flap Designed for Anterior Skull Base Surgery
The flap effectively sealed leaks and served as a barrier, with minor complications, for anterior skull base surgery.
research Scalp Flaps
Scalp flaps are used for reconstruction, considering factors like inelasticity, hair growth, and blood supply, with techniques adapting to age-related changes in vascularity.
research Anchor Scalp Reduction
Both ASR I and ASR II are effective scalp reduction techniques, with ASR I creating finer scars and ASR II removing more bald area and reducing stretch-back.
research Biomechanical properties of scalp flaps and their correlations to reconstructive and aesthetic surgery procedures
Scalp flaps are stiffer than skin from other body areas, which helps in planning reconstructive and cosmetic head surgeries.
research Dual transposition flaps for the reconstruction of large scalp defects
Technique effectively reconstructs large scalp defects with minimal hair loss and visible scarring.

Topical Minoxidil may cause pericardial effusion. Caution is advised when using Minoxidil, even topically.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community Oral Minoxidil - The Hyper-Responder Concept
Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to genetic differences in the SULT1A1 enzyme, affecting how well it converts to its active form, minoxidil sulfate. Hyper-responders may experience rapid hair growth and increased side effects, such as pericardial effusion, even at low doses.
community Minoxidil’s mechanism of action on blood pressure as a potassium channel opening molecule
Minoxidil works by opening potassium channels, leading to reduced blood pressure and potential side effects like reflex tachycardia. It is used for hair growth and affects blood pressure at high doses.
community Should I drop topical minoxidil?
The user is considering stopping topical minoxidil due to health risks and inconvenience, while continuing oral minoxidil, dutasteride, and vitamins. Others suggest that oral minoxidil carries more risk, and results from treatments may take 3-6 months to appear.
