A group of 50 consecutive patients, referred for self-reported complaints which they related to dental amalgam restorations, was compared with control patients matched by age, sex and postal zip code. All patients were subjected to a psychiatric examination and a set of rating scales and questionnaires, and the symptoms were related to the mercury levels in blood, urine and hair. A psychiatric diagnosis was established in 70% of the patients in the index group versus 14% in the control group. The prevailing symptoms were anxiety, asthenia and depression. Mercury levels in blood, urine and hair were similar among index cases and controls, and were far below critical levels of mercury intoxication. There was no correlation between mercury levels and the severity of the reported symptoms. Therefore, mercury was not a likely cause of the complaints. Instead, the reported symptoms were part of a broad spectrum of mental disorders.

The density issue in hair transplantation.

Department of Dermatology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, USA.
BACKGROUND: Modern hair restoration procedures may involve, individually or in combinations, flaps, grafts consisting of plugs, slits, strips, minigrafts, or micrografts, with or without alopecia reduction. OBJECTIVE: To review the density achieved using mini-micrografting technique compared with that accomplished by plug methodology. METHODS: Hair counts per square centimeter were done on both mini-micrografted and plug cases from the author's practice. RESULTS: Comparable density (terminal hair per square centimeter) was noted to occur with either technique but accomplished with fewer sessions using mini-micrografting methodology and relatively dense packing of grafts. CONCLUSION: The density issue is a nonissue if comparable numbers of hair are transplanted per square centimeter.

Patterns of coverage. Uniform versus graded density.
Knudsen R.
The goal of hair restoration surgery is undetectability. Anything that is unnatural or draws attention to itself is to be avoided. In extensive baldness (Norwood V1-V11) various patterns of coverage with grafting can be constructed. Principally they fall into either the graded or uniform density approaches. If the goal is to provide coverage of the entire area of extensive baldness, the uniform density approach offers the less noticeable result because it draws no attention to any particular part of the balding scalp. If the goal is to provide only frontal forelock reconstruction, both approaches are advocated. In less than ideal grooming situations such as in the wind, exercise, or swimming however, the uniform density approach appears to offer a less noticeable result.
