system: What causes hair loss?
output: Doctors don't know why certain hair follicles are programmed to have a shorter growth period than others. However, several factors may influence hair loss: Hormones, such as abnormal levels of androgens (male hormones normally produced by both men and women) Genes, from both male and female parents, may influence a person's predisposition to male or female pattern baldness. Stress, illness, and childbirthcan cause temporary hair loss. Ringworm caused by a fungal infection can also cause hair loss. Drugs, including chemotherapy drugs used in cancer treatment, blood thinners, beta-adrenergic blockers used to control blood pressure, and birth control pills, can cause temporary hair loss. Burns, injuries, and X-rays can cause temporary hair loss. In such cases, normal hair growth usually returns once the injury heals unless a scar is produced. Then, hair will never regrow. Autoimmune disease may cause alopecia areata. In alopecia areata, the immune system revs up for unknown reasons and affects the hair follicles. In most people with alopecia areata, the hair grows back, although it may temporarily be very fine and possibly a lighter color before normal coloration and thickness return. Cosmetic procedures, such as shampooing too often, perms, bleaching, and dyeing hair can contribute to overall hair thinning by making hair weak and brittle. Tight braiding, using rollers or hot curlers, and running hair picks through tight curls can also damage and break hair. However, these procedures don't cause baldness. In most instances hair grows back normally if the source of the problem is removed. Still, severe damage to the hair or scalp sometimes causes permanent bald patches. Medical conditions. Thyroid disease, lupus, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, eating disorders, and anemia can cause hair loss. Most times, when the underlying condition is treated, the hair will return unless there is scarring as in some forms of lupus, lichen planus or follicular disorders. Diet. A low-protein diet or severely calorie-restricted diet can also cause temporary hair loss.

output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Hair grows everywhere on the human skin except on the palms of our hands and the soles of our feet, but many hairs are so fine they're virtually invisible. Hair is made up of a protein called keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin at the rate of about six inches a year. The hair you can see is actually a string of dead keratin cells. The average adult head has about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs and loses up to 100 of them a day; finding a few stray hairs on your hairbrush is not necessarily cause for alarm.
system: What is trichotillomania?
output: Trichotillomania , seen most frequently in children, is a psychological disorder in which a person pulls out one's own hair.
system: What is androgenic alopecia?
output: Women with this condition, called female pattern baldness, don't experience noticeable thinning until their 40s or later. Women experience a general thinning over the entire scalp, with the most extensive hair loss at the crown. However, several factors may influence hair loss: Hormones, such as abnormal levels of androgens (male hormones normally produced by both men and women) Genes, from both male and female parents, may influence a person's predisposition to male or female pattern baldness.
system: Which gloves should I use to treat rheumatoid arthritis?
output: Try all the different kinds of gloves to find the right one for you. One type keeps your hands warm. These are known as thermals. Another gives you extra support. These are called glove splints. The compression type will provide pressure on your aching fingers and hand joints. You can choose a glove with a combination of features.
system: What are some tips for maximum relief with rheumatoid arthritis gloves?
output: Make sure your gloves fit well. If they're too tight or too loose, there's less chance you'll get any benefits from wearing them. Ask your doctor or therapist if you need help with fit. Stick with the 8-hour rule. You probably won't see any changes if you only wear them for an hour here and there. If you also have carpal tunnel syndrome, talk to your doctor before you try the gloves. Your carpal tunnel symptoms could get worse if you wear arthritis gloves at night.
system: How long are therapy gloves designed to be worn?
output: The gloves are designed to be worn for 8 hours -- about the length of time you sleep.

output: Your fingers may be easier to move in the morning. Use of your hand.
system: When are gloves for rheumatoid arthritis used?
output: With the pain comes stiffness and swelling, which can make day-to-day life a challenge. Occupational therapists sometimes recommend arthritis gloves to help with symptoms. You just slip them on to help ease pain and swelling. They could make it easier to deal with your daily activities. If you also have carpal tunnel syndrome, talk to your doctor before you try the gloves.
system: Can I use my hands if I am using gloves to help rheumatoid arthritis?
output: The gloves aren't going to do much to help you regain the use of your hands, but they might improve your grip. The gloves, and how effective they are, really depends on you and how you react to them. They might help with one symptom but not another. Or they could have no effect at all.
system: How do I know if my child's pediatrician is qualified to diagnose ADHD?
output: Ask if he or she has experience in diagnosing ADHD. Some pediatricians take additional coursework to become familiar with diagnosing the disorder and its medical management. Some do a fellowship specializing in ADHD and learning disabilities.
system: What should I expect from an ADHD evaluation?
output: The therapist should learn as much as possible about your child's behavior. They will talk with you, your child, your child's teachers, and perhaps also with other adults such as tutors or coaches who are part of your child's life. They should also ask you and your child's teachers to fill out standardized evaluation forms. If possible, they may also observe your child in their classroom.
system: Is depression or anxiety common in children with ADHD and what can be done?
output: Some children diagnosed with ADHD may also be experiencing depression or anxiety. In such cases, therapy is often recommended as part of the treatment plan.

They should also ask you and your child's teachers to fill out standardized evaluation forms. If possible, they may also observe your child in their classroom. Also, the FDA has approved the use of the Neuropsychiatric EEG- Based Assessment Aid ( NEBA) System, a noninvasive scan that measures theta and beta brain waves. The theta/beta ratio has been shown to be higher in children and adolescents with ADHD than in children without it. The scan, approved for use in those aged 6 to 17 years, is meant to be used as a part of a complete medical and psychological exam. If the process leads to an ADHD diagnosis, it should include the specific type of ADHD and help you develop a treatment plan to address the symptoms.
system: What can you do if you suspect your child has ADHD?
output: If you are considering having your child evaluated for ADHD or are waiting for an appointment to start the diagnostic process, there are several things you can do in the meantime to help him or her now: Establish a schedule. Make sure your child has the same routine every day. The schedule should include homework time and playtime. Post this schedule in a prominent place in your home. Be clear about expectations. Make sure your child knows what you expect, and be consistent with consequences if those expectations are not met. At the same time, be quick to reward your child when he or she meets expectations. Praise and be positive. Rather than nag and criticize your child, make a point of praising positive behaviors. Help your child organize everyday items. Work with your child to have a place for everything. This includes clothing, backpacks, and school supplies. Jog your child's memory. The same system you use to remember tasks or appointments -- a watch alarm, lists, sticky notes, or a calendar -- may work for your child. Help him find a system that helps him remember appointments, chores, school assignments, and so on. Model good behavior. When you're with your child, manage your own emotions the way you want him to control his.
system: What records are necessary for diagnosing ADHD?
output: This person's first task will be to put together information -- from you, your child's school and your child's medical records. This information will help rule out other causes of your child's behavior.
system: Who should I go to for ADHD diagnosis if my pediatrician isn't familiar with it?
output: If your pediatrician isn't familiar with diagnosing ADHD, he or she can probably refer you to a mental health professional such as a psychiatrist or psychologist who has that experience. If your pediatrician does not work with therapists and psychologists, ask your child's school psychologist to do an evaluation, or ask the school counselor to recommend someone.

system: What can I expect with prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
output: It involves eight to 15 sessions, usually 90 minutes each. Early on in treatment, your therapist will teach you breathing techniques to ease your anxiety when you think about what happened. Later, you'll make a list of the things you've been avoiding and learn how to face them, one by one. In another session, you'll recount the traumatic experience to your therapist, then go home and listen to a recording of yourself. Doing this as "homework" over time may help ease your symptoms.
system: What can I expect with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)?
output: CPT is a 12-week course of treatment, with weekly sessions of 60-90 minutes. At first, you'll talk about the traumatic event with your therapist and how your thoughts related to it have affected your life. Then you'll write in detail about what happened. This process helps you examine how you think about your trauma and figure out new ways to live with it. For example, maybe you've been blaming yourself for something.
system: When my doctor is examining for glaucoma, should I tell him or her if I'm taking any medications?
output: Tell your doctor what medications you're taking. Certain drugs, even over-the-counter medications -- especially those used to treat sinus and cold congestion, and stomach and intestinal disorders -- may cause an acute closed-angle glaucoma attack. Bring a list of all your medications with you to the eye doctor.
system: How do I know if I have glaucoma?
output: Your eye doctor will measure your eye pressure with a gadget called a tonometer. She'll give you drops that numb your eye so you don't feel anything. Tell her if you've had refractive surgery. It can affect your eye pressure reading.
system: What will the doctor do if he or she thinks I have glaucoma?
output: If she thinks you have glaucoma, your eye doctor will check your optic nerve for signs of damage. She'll have you take a test that measures the sharpness of your side vision (she'll call this your peripheral vision).
system: What are the symptoms for acute closed or narrow-angle glaucoma?
output: People often describe this as âthe worst eye pain of my life.â Symptoms strike quickly: Severe throbbing eye pain Eye redness Headaches (on the same side as the affected eye) Blurry or foggy vision Halos around lights, Dilated pupil Nausea and vomiting This type of glaucoma is a medical emergency. See an ophthalmologist or go to an emergency room immediately. Damage to the optic nerve may begin within a few hours and, if not treated within 6 to 12 hours, it may bring severe permanent loss of vision or blindness and even a permanently enlarged (dilated) pupil.
system: Do I have glaucoma if I have higher-than-normal eye pressure?
output: In fact, some people with normal pressure can have it, while others with higher levels may not. High pressure without damage to the optic nerve is called ocular hypertension. If you have this, your doctor will want to test your eyes often.
system: What are the symptoms of open-angle glaucoma?
output: With this condition, you might not have any symptoms until you lose a significant amount of vision.

output: This usually shows up in newborns or during your baby's first few years. Symptoms include: Tearing, sensitivity to light, and eyelid spasms A larger cornea and clouding of the normally transparent cornea Habitual rubbing of the eyes, squinting, or keeping the eyes closed much of the time Symptoms depend on what's causing your pressure to rise.
system: Can eye injuries hide glaucoma?
output: Eye injuries like corneal edema, bleeding, or retinal detachment can hide glaucoma symptoms. If a cataract is the cause, your vision will have been worse for a while. If you have had an injury to your eye, an advanced cataract, or inflammation in your eyes, your eye doctor will check often to make sure you don't have glaucoma, too.

output: The main sign is a cloudy cornea. Babies are checked for this at birth. If you suspect an eye problem, call an eye doctor.
system: What are the symptoms of chronic open-angle glaucoma?
output: The first sign is often the loss of your side vision (the doctor will call this peripheral vision). It happens slowly, so you may not notice the changes.
system: Will my sight ever come back if I have glaucoma?
output: It can affect your eye pressure reading. That is why it's so important to get regular exams with an eye doctor, particularly if there is a family history of glaucoma.
system: What complications can roseola cause?
output: For high fever, he might recommend acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If this happens to your child, she might pass out for a short time. Her arms and legs may jerk for many seconds or minutes. She could also lose control of her bladder and bowels. If your child has a seizure, call 911. Luckily, most seizures in young children don't last long and aren't harmful.
system: How do you know if you have an H. pylori infection?
output: They could be signs of an ulcer: Severe stomach pain that doesn't go away Inability to swallow Bloody, tar-like stool Vomit that's bloody or looks like dark coffee grounds If your doctor thinks you may have an H. pylori infection, some tests can tell you for sure: Endoscopy: The best way to test for H. pylori infection is to check your stomach lining. Your doctor will give you medicine to relax you. Then she'll send a long, thin tube with a camera on the end down your throat and into your stomach. She'll look for signs of infection and take a small sample of tissue from the lining. The sample will be tested in a lab to see if there's an infection. Blood tests: A simple blood test can show signs of H. pylori. But that doesn't mean the infection is active and causing problems or symptoms. Stool tests: Your doctor can test your poop for proteins that are a sign of H. pylori.
system: Which antibiotics can help with treating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)?
output: You'll take them for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to take all the pills in your prescription, even if you start to feel better. Your doctor also will prescribe medicine to help with stomach acid. It might include proton-pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, or bismuth subsalicylate ( Pepto- Bismol, Bismatrol).

system: How is an H. pylori infection linked to ulcers and cancer?
output: H. pylori can inflame the lining of your stomach. That's why you may feel stomach pain or get nauseous. If it's not treated, it can sometimes cause ulcers, which are painful, open sores in your stomach lining that bleed. Studies show that people who are infected with H. pylori are also up to 8 times more likely to get a certain kind of stomach, or gastric, cancer.
