Lateral scalp flaps for instant results in male pattern baldness.
Elliott RA Jr.
A technique for reconstruction of the anterior hairline, with undelayed lateral scalp flaps, is presented. Unilateral and bilateral flaps have given excellent results in selected patients with a variety of balding patterns. The advantage of gaining instant hair of good density along the anterior hairline is one not provided by the free graft techniques. The continued high patient acceptance and the minimal morbidity encourage further clinical study of this method with cautious enthusiasm.

Burn alopecia.
Huang TT, Larson DL, Lewis SR.
Our experience in managing 117 patients with burn alopecia are presented. Most often we used staged excisions of the scarred scalp areas, and by this means we could cover up to 15 percent of the scalp. When the alopecia involved the anterior portion of the scalp, however, a rotational scalp flap was needed to restore the anterior hairline and/or sideburns. For those with burn alopecia of more than 60 percent of the scalp surface, no surgical treatment was effective; the women would often cover their scalps with hairpieces, but the men in our series preferred not to do so.

There is evidence that sex hormones and intrauterine factors are involved in the etiology of testicular cancer. We evaluated the importance of perinatal and adult life correlates of sex hormones as risk factors for testicular cancer in a case control study of 97 incident, histologically confirmed cases, residents of the Greater Athens area and environs, who were diagnosed in the 3 specialized cancer hospitals and the major General Hospital in Athens during the 2 year period 1993-94. Cases were age-matched to 2 healthy controls from the same study base. Both cases and controls as well as their mothers were interviewed by the same investigator and the data were analyzed through conditional logistic regression. The odds ratio for testicular cancer was elevated among persons born after a pregnancy characterized by severe nausea. Among the adult life factors, higher body mass was associated with reduced risk, as was evidence of baldness. To the extent that nausea during pregnancy reflects higher levels of pregnancy estrogens on the one hand, and baldness is linked to androgens on the other, our data suggest that estrogens in the intrauterine life and androgens at later stages may have sequential opposing effects for the development of testicular cancer.
