...International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, an estimated 66.8% of males and 33.2% of females in the United States had a nonsurgical hair restoration process in 2012. [1] Hair replacement is a reliable option for individuals who experience hair loss due to heredity and medical related issues. Individuals needing hair replacement options have the option of surgical and non surgical. Surgical is considered as hair replacement which removes small pieces of the scalp that contain hair follicles and relocates them to an area on the head that is losing hair. The American Hair Loss Council describes non surgical hair replacement options as hair additions or hair prosthetics. [2] Examples of hair prosthetics include hair extensions, hair pieces, partial hair prosthesis, and toupees. These particular hair pieces will contain human hair, synthetic hair, or a combination of both. Hair loss comes in two major forms; heredity and medically. Medically, two common hair loss forms come from chemotherapy and alopecia areata. Chemotherapy is the use of medicines or drugs to treat a disease, such as cancer. Cancer cells tend to grow fast, and chemo drugs kill fast growing cells. Although these drugs travel throughout the body they can affect normal healthy cells that are fast growing too. The normal cells most likely to be damaged by chemo are hair follicles. Hair loss during chemo is a form of alopecia which causes thinning of hair and/or losing hair on all parts of the body...

...Hearing Loss - Health and Resources Tracy L. Scarborough HCS/212 January 12, 2015 Deanna Dubay Hearing Loss - Health and Resources Intro Hearing loss is one of the most common anomalies in the general population and is largely irreversible. For most, it’s caused by heredity, old age and, over time, by exposure to loud noises such as technology devices and occupational hazards. Singularly, trauma to the ears can cause short term hearing loss due to disruption in conduction. Loud venues (concert), eardrum perforation, fluid in the inner ear and excessive earwax can all cause temporary deafness. (Mayo clinic website). There are 3 passageways for hearing conduction: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Outer Ear The shape of the ear is designed specifically to direct sound waves. The outer ear is the part that can be externally visualized on the head, consisting of the concha (top curve of the ear), the pinna (lower trough of the ear) and the auditory canal. Sound waves travel through this anatomy and towards the tympanic membrane. (How Hearing Works printout) Middle Ear The tympanic membrane, or eardrum, vibrates upon reception of the sound and is picked up by the bones of the middle ear (incus, malleus and stapes) and those vibrations are amplified before transmittal to the inner ear where the cochlear fluids become stimulated. When a hearing loss is traced to this area of the ear, it’s conductive and can be corrected with a simple surgical procedure...

...Hearing Loss: An Increasing Problem Today’s youth have adopted a lifestyle revolving around technology. More and more teens and young adults have their own laptop computers, video game systems, and digital music players. The latter of which is causing an outcry from many experts. Hearing loss is more common than ever before with about 16% of Americans affected (Blue). Cranking up to volume on a music player for too long can have undesired consequences, most notably being premature hearing loss. Hearing loss resulting from listening to MP3 players too loudly is becoming an increasing problem among young adults and teenagers. Listeners need to turn down the volume on their devices if they want to save their hearing. Hearing loss in relation to music is a relatively new condition. Declining prices of MP3 players and the huge success of Apple’s IPod has put earbuds in an increasing number of American’s pockets, making the number of potential people exposed to loud music higher than ever before. The IPod can be the most dangerous of all music devices due to the design of its earbuds. Since the bud is directly in the ear, it has a stronger effect on hearing. At 80% of the maximum volume, it is safe to listen to IPods for only just over an hour per day. Compare this to over the ear headphones which can be safely listened to for almost 5 hours at the same volume level. Special sound-isolating headphones are a rapidly growing technology as well. These headphones keep all background...

...Screening Opinion Paper Looking for a new job may require more than just filling out and employment application these days. Many employers require the applicant to take a pre-employment drug test and to pass it before they consider offering the person a job. Drug testing does not stop there. Employers can set forth other testing for a variety of reasons such as, random testing, reasonable cause, post-accident, and treatment follow-up, to name a few. An employer needs to be able to offer employees a safe workplace with as little risk as possible. In 1991, “The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that 68% of illicit drug users were employed” (2008, para. 2). This paper will focus on screening techniques, testing programs, and workplace prevention and education. Drug Screening Tests No test method is 100% accurate. The employer must find a reliable laboratory for testing, which meets all federal and state guidelines. Costs can vary depending on the type of testing method used. Obtaining a specimen requires a trained professional and should protect the person’s right to confidentiality and privacy. Urine Test This is also known as a urinalysis and requires the person to submit a urine specimen. “A test card can give immediate results or the specimen is sent out to a lab to undergo gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS)” (About Drug Testing, n.d. para. 12). In the United States, many people try to alter the results by using a substitution or by adulteration (About Drug Testing...

...eating disorder. My oldest sister has anorexia and I have sorrowfully watched her struggle daily with it. It happened gradually and without warning when she was only 12. She kept a journal of her daily calorie intake, and one of her entries read that she only had a small handful of nuts and bite of a brownie that day. Like my sister, anorexia is a growing problem among young women. Throughout this speech, you will learn of some aspects of this eating disorder such as its causes, preventions, and effects. Some signs and symptoms include the denial of hunger, withdrawal from usual activities and friends, refusal to eat certain foods or any food at all, and frequent comments about feeling “fat” even though dramatic weight loss is occurring. Many consequences happen as a result of Anorexia, such as an abnormally slow heart right and low blood pressure, reduction of bone density, muscle loss and weakness, severe...

... * Overproduction of oil (sebum) * Irregular shedding of dead skin cells resulting in irritation of the hair follicles of your skin * Buildup of bacteria Factors that may worsen acne These factors can trigger or aggravate an existing case of acne: * Hormones. Androgens are hormones that increase in boys and girls during puberty and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum. Hormonal changes related to pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives can also affect sebum production. * Certain medications. Drugs containing corticosteroids, androgens or lithium are known to cause acne. * Diet. Studies indicate that certain dietary factors, including dairy products and carbohydrate-rich foods — such as bread, bagels and chips, which increase blood sugar — may trigger acne. Symptoms Noninflammatory lesions * Comedones (whiteheads and blackheads) are created when the openings of hair follicles become clogged and blocked with oil secretions, dead skin cells and sometimes bacteria. When comedones (koe-muh-DOE-neez) are open at the skin surface, they're called blackheads because of the dark appearance of the plugs in the hair follicles. When comedones are closed, they're called whiteheads — slightly raised, skin-colored bumps. Inflammatory lesions * Papules are small raised bumps that signal inflammation or infection in the hair follicles. Papules may be red and tender. * Pustules (pimples) are red, tender bumps with white pus at their...

...Physical Development in Middle Adulthood Middle adulthood is a time of change and has been referred to as the prime time of life. Middle age can range from ages 35 – 70. This is a time when you reflect on exciting milestones that had occurred in the past. For example, graduating from college, getting married, and starting a family. Most people at this age are in fairly good health both physically and psychologically, they are also apt to earning more money and having acquired wisdom through life experiences (Zastrow 2010 pg 410). However, in middle age there are also life crises, slow decline in health, changes in sexuality occur, and slight changes in intellectual activity and cognitive competence. Men and women are changing physically, cognitively and biologically during this time. There are four common health problems that arise from middle adulthood, Hypertension, Diabetes, Cancer and Arthritis, as individuals reach middle age they will feel a difference in physical functional so it is important for to stay healthy and practice a lifestyle of wellness. Hypertension also referred to as high blood pressure is a major health problem beginning in midlife. Middle-age Americans face a 90% chance of developing high blood pressure at some time during the rest of their lives, according to a new study supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). " Lenfant states, "high blood pressure is easily diagnosed and can be prevented by adopting certain lifestyle...

...Eating disorders, generally defined as negative feelings and/or thoughts towards one’s body and/or food, have a wide assortment of types and variations. The most recognized are anorexia and bulimia, but the term “eating disorder” also encompasses disorders such as binge eating and body image/dysmorphia. They are common among adolescence, and can begin with mere concern. Especially today, with the abundance of media all around us, kids can start to feel concerned (and sometimes obsessed) with the way they look by simply seeing pictures in magazines or actors on the screen. Eating disorders are also common among people who already have a mental disorder, such as anxiety or even OCD. A big part of the prevention of eating disorders has to do with...

...CNS Cancer or Brain Tumor A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells that is growing in or around the brain. It develops when abnormal cells multiply for unknown reasons. Benign and malignant are terms used to describe brain tumors. Benign brain tumors are usually slow growing and have distinct borders and a normal appearance under a microscope. Malignant tumors are considered brain cancer. They tend to invade healthy areas of the brain and may grow rapidly. A benign tumor may be considered malignant if it is located in a critical area of the brain or its size is life-threatening. Primary brain tumors start within the brain. Secondary or metastatic brain tumors come from cells which have broken away from cancers within the body and traveled to the brain. Metastatic brain tumors are always considered malignant since they evolve from cancerous cells and grow rapidly. I. Anatomy Review * The brain and spinal cord together are known as the Central Nervous System. * The adult brain weighs about three pounds, and is tightly enclosed by the skull. * It is a complex organ composed of nerve cells (neurons) and supporting tissues (glia). * The brain has four main parts: the meninges which are the membranes that enclose the brain, the cerebrum which is the largest part of the brain and is split into two hemispheres, the cerebellum which is the back part of the brain, located under the cerebral hemispheres, and the brain stem which connects to the spinal cord. ...

...GREAT SOURCE OF PROTEIN Chicken meat and chicken parts are very popular in the United States as an excellent source of protein. Chicken meat also tends to be a lot leaner than red meat, so it is a healthier source of protein. Protein is very important for building and repairing muscle tissues, as well as strengthening hair, skin, and preventing bone loss in the elderly. It also keeps your stomach feeling full for longer periods of time, so it can be an effective weight loss tool as it provides lean protein. ------------------------------------------------- VITAMINS AND MINERALS IN CHICKEN Other than being a protein powerhouse, other vitamins and minerals chicken contains include: * Tryptophan: This essential amino acid is important because it increases serotonin level in the brain and helps us sleep better. It also has antidepressant properties and can make us happier. * Niacin: This vitamin is vital to the skin, digestive tract and nervous system, and research has shown it may help prevent Alzheimer's disease, help convert food to energy, and promote skin repair. * Selenium: Known as an effective antioxidant, selenium can help in the prevention of cancer by repairing free radicals in the body. It also helps maintain normal thyroid functions and the immune system. * Vitamin B6: This vitamin helps with the metabolism of protein and red blood cells, and may prevent heart diseases. * Phosphorus: Phosphorus not only helps synthesize protein for the maintenance...

...History & description The disease that I will be bringing to the forefront is Hepatitis C. It is an infection of the liver, which has many forms, type 1 being the most common in the U.S. I will start by introducing the history of the disease and give a description of the disease and it’s affects to the body.1. “The hepatitis C virus is an RNA virus that belongs to the family flaviviridae.”1. “HCV replicates in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes””1. Persistent infection appears to rely on rapid production of virus and continuous cell-to-cell spread, along with a lack of vigorous T-cell immune response to HCV antigens” Anatomy To better give a clear understanding of the failing organs I will address the body systems. I will further explain the anatomy of the systems that are involved. Transmission & Cause 1.“The transmission of HCV is primarily through exposure to infected blood. Risks for transmission include blood transfusion before 1992, intravenous drug use, high-risk sexual activity, solid organ transplantation from an infected donor”2.” the fact that the genetic information of the virus is stored in RNA, not DNA, has important consequences in the life cycle of the virus, and gives hepatitis C its dangerous ability to mutate.”2.” Hepatitis C, as an RNA virus, has a powerful reproductive strategy. Because it stores its information in a "sense" strand of RNA, the viral RNA itself can be directly read by the host cell's ribosomes, functioning like the normal mRNA...
