BACKGROUND: Androgenetic alopecia remains the most common cause of male pattern baldness (MPB) in all races. The prevalence of MPB in Caucasians is well documented. The prevalence of MPB in Asians is believed to be very low, only one-fourth to one-third on average compared to Caucasians. However, according to my previous study, there is a clear trend indicating that it is approaching that of Caucasians. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of MPB in the Asian population in Bangkok, Thailand; to compare this prevalence to previous studies conducted on Asians; and to compare the results to previous studies conducted on Caucasian. METHODS: This study was conducted by two physicians and assisted by two registered nurses. The questionnaire included age, sex, Norwood classification, diet, family history of baldness, income, and education. The physicians examined the scalp of each interviewee upon completion of each questionnaire. The ethnic focus group in this study was Thai and Chinese who reside in Bangkok, Thailand. The interviews were conducted in hospitals, nursing homes, classroom, medical meetings, temples, parks, and villages. RESULTS: A total of 1124 men were randomized in this study. The prevalence of cosmetically significant MPB (Norwood III-VII) was 38.52% and steadily increasing with age, approaching that of Caucasians. Variant MPB was found to be 0.67% and other types of androgenetic alopecia was 0.6%. From an ethnic point of view, the majority of the groups were of mixed blood and mostly of Chinese origin, thus we were unable to distinguish between Chinese and Thai. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the prevalence of MPB in Asians is not as low as previously thought. The cause of this increasing prevalence is uncertain. There are no past studies in Thailand for comparison, however, it can be extrapolated that the socioeconomic environment and westernized diet may contribute to this prevalence.

BACKGROUND: The author presents an evaluation system that helps optimize the chances of achieving good results with alopecia-reducing procedures. OBJECTIVE: To help hair restoration surgeons select patients properly for alopecia-reducing procedures. METHODS: Twenty criteria are scrutinized by the hair restoration surgeon during the initial consultation and given a score of one to five. The scores are added together and divided by 20. A patient with a score greater than four is considered a good candidate for alopecia reduction in most cases. RESULTS: This evaluation method has significantly decreased the number of patients undergoing alopecia-reducing procedures while helping the author achieve consistently good results. CONCLUSION: An evaluation system is presented that helps determine who is a good candidate for alopecia reduction and who is a poor candidate. This selection technique has helped the author achieve more consistently good results by eliminating poor and borderline candidates.

D-methylphenidate is an enantiomer of D,L-methylphenidate and was developed as an improved treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. The current study was performed to determine and compare the toxicity of 2-50 mg/kg per day D-MPH and 100 mg/kg per day D,L-MPH for 90 days in rats with the top D-MPH dose being equimolar to 100 mg/kg D,L-MPH. The top D-MPH and D,L-MPH doses were at least 67 times that of the human dose and produced systemic exposures that were over 10 times higher than those typically achieved in children. During the course of the study, one male each from the 50 mg/kg per day and D,L-MPH groups and one female from the 50 mg/kg group died. Incidences of material around nose/eyes, scabbing, foot swelling, alopecia and abrasions were evident at 50 mg/kg per day D-MPH and 100 mg/kg per day D,L-MPH doses. Body weight and its changes decreased in a dose-dependent manner for D-MPH males. There were significant changes in some clinical chemistry measurements at the terminal bleed in the high dose groups of both sexes although most of these changes were resolved by the recovery bleed. Differences in absolute and relative body and certain organ weights for high dose D-MPH and D,L-MPH groups were seen at terminal necropsy with the differences no longer present after the recovery period. No abnormal or gross histopathological changes were associated with any of these organ weight changes reported for the terminal and recovery periods. Based on body weight changes, the no observed adverse effect level for D-MPH in rats was 20 mg/kg. Overall, the toxicity profile observed in rats with 50 mg/kg per day D-MPH was comparable to that of an equimolar dose of D,L-MPH (100 mg/kg per day) when given repeatedly for 90 days using a twice a day dosing regimen.
