Individual differences in men's perceptions of and reactions to thinning hair.

Data obtained from 91 American male respondents, ranging in age from 23 to 66 years of age, indicated that a personality trait, public self-consciousness, pertaining to habitual attention to and concern for public self-aspects, was related to both perceptions of men with thinning hair and reactions to one's own thinning hair. Men with high public self-consciousness were not only more likely to believe that balding men were less attractive, but were also more likely to believe that balding men were less desirable romantic partners for women. Furthermore, faced with their own hair loss, they expressed greater concern and were more willing to try prescription hair remedies to grow thicker hair than were their low self-consciousness counterparts. Despite the concern that hair loss appears to cause many men, there was no evidence that the onset of hair loss caused changes in level of public self-consciousness.

Between February 1986 and December 1988, 44 patients were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery using a standard linear accelerator. Twenty one patients were treated for cerebrovascular abnormalities and 23 patients were treated for intracranial tumors. Fifteen of the 23 patients treated for intracranial tumors had received previous radiotherapy. The range of doses given by radiosurgery was 1000-2500 cGy. Nausea and vomiting occurred in seven patients within six hours of treatment. The incidence and symptoms were correlated with the dose of radiation to the vomiting center (area postrema) with the median dose to the postrema in symptomatic patients being 618 cGy compared to a range of less than 5 to 184 cGy in the remaining 36 asymptomatic patients. Temporary alopecia occurred in a single patient who received 400 cGy to the scalp. Alopecia did not occur in the remaining 43 patients who received from less than 5 to 175 cGy. Two patients treated for arteriovenous malformations developed an enhancing lesion on CT scanning (one with cerebral edema) on follow-up CT scanning six and twenty-eight months following radiosurgery. The location of these enhancing lesions corresponded to the volumes treated. In one patient, the enhancing pattern and edema disappeared within 18 months of treatment and no neurological deficits developed. Aphasia occurred in one patient treated for a recurrent glioma two hours following treatment to the left temporal lobe and cleared within 12 h of radiosurgery. One patient with an arteriovenous malformation of the pons developed weakness of the contralateral arm and leg six weeks following treatment and this has slowly resolved over the last 12 months. In conclusion, the complications to date have been self-limited and appear to be directly related to the dose and area of brain treated. Prior radiation therapy has not been associated with increased risk of complication in patients treated with radiosurgery for recurrent tumors to date.

[The mini-punch technic: a method for late removal of traumatic facial tattooing]
[Article in German]
Kaufmann R.
Dermatologische Klinik, Universitat Ulm.
Immediate treatment of traumatic facial tattooing using simple brush abrasion usually has good results. In contrast, late removal of incorporated particles mostly leaves scars and is only partially effective. In such cases we tested an excisional technique using minipunches, which was originally designed for the reconstruction of frontal hairlines in grafting to correct male pattern baldness. Although it is so time-consuming, we regard this approach as the method of choice, because it yields good cosmetic results and is easy to carry out, and because there are no adequate alternatives.
