Psychological problems with hair loss in general practice and the treatment policies of general practitioners.

Scalp hair loss problems and the policies of general practitioners were studied by sending questionnaires to 374 physicians, of whom 21% responded. About 50% of the patients, according to their physicians, had psychological problems which predominantly comprised low self-esteem in the male patients and fear and anxiety in the female patients. The general practitioners followed the same policy for patients with psychological problems and for those without. The findings suggest that many alopecia patients need more psychological support from their physicians.

An animal model for testing substances that might prevent alopecia induced by oxazaphosphorines has been developed. It is based on the fact that the rat pups experience virtually total hair loss following administration of oxazaphosphorines. Using this model, we showed that epicutaneous treatment with sodium thioglycollate prevented ifosfamide-induced hair loss on the treated area. These experiments indicate that prevention of oxazaphosphorine-induced alopecia in man may be achieved by topical thiols.

Clinical applications of tissue expansion in head and neck surgery.

Tissue expansion offers a new frontier in head and neck reconstruction in that it provides the capability of creating additional new skin for restoration of defects with skin of identical color, thickness, and appendages. The applicability of tissue expansion is only beginning to be appreciated as it is used in various aspects of head and neck surgery. Currently, the technique is most frequently used in scalp surgery for correction of male pattern baldness. Other uses of tissue expansion are in cranial facial surgery and expansion of distant, regional, or microsurgical flaps. Perhaps its greatest value from a reconstructive perspective, however, is in providing new skin for reconstruction of various facial defects through the use of primary wound closure or a multitude of local flaps.
