In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If making changes to your diet and lifestyle or using other remedies does not seem to help, then see your doctor. It is also a good idea to see your doctor to rule out the chance of a serious medical condition. Your odds of having a condition like lupus are low, but hair loss can be a symptom of this disease, so it may ease your mind to consult your doctor for possible testing. If the reason for your hair loss is known but it is causing you stress, talking to your doctor can be of benefit as well. Establishing the specifics of your particular condition can help your doctor to determine the best treatment options available. Minoxidil (known by the brand name Rogaine, but now widely available without prescription) is a topical lotion that can be used by men and women. It works better on thinning hair than on hairless spots, and must be used continuously in order to keep any beneficial effects going. Minoxidil has about a 35% success rate at stimulating hair growth. Men and women can use minoxidil. Finasteride (known as Propecia) is a prescription pill that stops the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which is a major cause of male pattern baldness. It works best on thinning hair, and must be used continuously to keep up any hair regrowth. Finasteride has about a 66% success rate, but it should only be used by men. Finasteride can cause birth defects, so women who are or may become pregnant should never use or handle the medication. In addition to medications, surgical options have improved as well. Hair plugs or skin graft surgeries may be an option for you. With this procedure, small portions of skin from the back of your head (with hair still growing on them) will be implanted onto your bald spots. Talk to your doctor if you think that this might be a good option for you. Low-power laser therapy treatments have shown some early promise as well. Low-powered laser therapy has been shown to increase hair thickness and improve the condition of those suffering from hair loss. Ask your doctor if this option might help with your condition. Hair loss can make you feel self-conscious and affect your confidence, so you may want to look into getting a wig or hairpiece while you seek treatment for hair loss. You insurance may even cover the cost of a wig or hairpiece, which will allow you to get a high-quality, realistic looking wig or hairpiece.
Summary: See a doctor. Try minoxidil. Consider taking finasteride. Look into implants. Find out about laser therapy. Wear a wig or hairpiece while you seek treatment.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you first bring the dog home, expect it to be afraid and upset. Don't crowd the dog or pressure it to explore, even if you've provided a nice set up. Bring the dog to a comfortable, safe space in your home, such as an alcove in your living room, and let the dog get used to your home on its own time. Over time, it may be ready to explore. If you think it's best to not leave the dog alone, you can sit in the room with it while it adjusts. However, you don't want to hover over the dog or overwhelm it. Offer the dog treats and calm praise. While the dog is adjusting, try not to stare at the dog or make sudden movements. Keep a quiet environment. Turn down the volume on music and TV. Loud, sudden movements or staring could frighten the dog. Some abused dogs are afraid of people. You can help the dog get used to you by sitting in the room with the dog but at a comfortable distance. Occasionally, speak to the dog in a calm, loving tone. When the dog gets comfortable, move a little closer until you can sit next to the dog. When petting the dog, do not touch the top of its head. Instead, let the dog sniff your hand. If the dog lets you, gently stroke the underside of their jaw. If the dog leaves or shrinks away, stop petting the dog immediately. Do not hug or put your arms around the dog until it is completely comfortable around you. The dog may take this as a sign of aggression. Be sure to show your dog lots of love once it starts to warm up to you. You can teach your abused dog that it can have a positive relationship with a human through having good times together. Have fun with your dog by taking it on walks, playing with it, and petting it. Choose activities that don't trigger the dog's past abuse experiences. Some dogs may like to be brushed. Just make sure to go slowly and stop if the dog growls or moves away. If your dog doesn't like to play, that's okay. As long as you're spending time with the dog, it will help the dog become more open to training. Most dogs have triggers, such as being afraid of the mailman, but an abused dog will likely have many more triggers than a typical dog. These triggers should be avoided. Typical triggers for abused dogs include the following: Sudden movement. Yelling. Loud noises. Using phrases they commonly heard from their abusers. Threatening gestures. Touching the dog in the areas where it was wounded. Raising items that could be used as a weapon. Using deep or loud voices around the dog. Abused dogs may be extremely fearful, which means that they are more likely to bite. If your dog growls, snaps, or runs from you, you should get professional help. Contact a dog trainer, veterinarian, or a Certified Animal Behaviorist for help. Signs of a scared dog include heavy panting, urination, whining, growling, pacing, or showing the whites of its eyes. Never leave a child alone or unsupervised with a fearful dog. The dog could bite the child.
Summary: Give the dog time to get comfortable in its new home. Acclimate the dog to your presence if it's afraid of you. Build positive experiences with your dog. Limit triggers that could provoke your dog to react. Contact a dog trainer or behaviorist if the dog growls or snaps at you.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Especially when you're a beginner you can screw up with cutting the glass or grinding it down. This will leave you with gaps between your pieces. Compensate for these inaccuracies by filling the gaps between your glass pieces with copper solder. Solder as you would normally. There are lots of things that can go wrong with scoring your glass and most of these have to do with how you're standing, how much pressure you're using, and what sort of a cutter you're using. Make sure that you're standing for long scores. This will give you better reach by utilizing your shoulder and upper body in the scoring motion. For small scores, make sure that you stay seated so you can concentrate on following the marker score line. Use the right glass cutter. You do not want to use a five dollar cheap glass cutter as it doesn't cut clear, thin glass very well and it certainly won't cut much harder art glass. Get one that it has a carbide head, because the oil lubrication is very useful. Make sure that you apply even pressure throughout your scoring. Remember you should hear a zipping sound as you score. Also good to remember: Opalescent glass requires more pressure, Cathedral glass requires less pressure. Like scoring, soldering your glass can yield some problems if you're not doing it correctly. Make sure that the heat is correct, that the tip of the soldering iron is the right size for the project, and that the flux you're using is good for higher temperatures. Using the wrong kind of flux can lead to charring, called 'black tip syndrome.' When this happens it means that the tip of the soldering iron turns black and re-tinning becomes impossible. Use the right size soldering iron tip. Make sure that you know what the width of the glass you're working with is and have the tip and the copper spaced accordingly.
Summary:
Deal with gaps between your pieces. Avoid problems with scoring your glass. Deal with problems while soldering.
