The Evolution of Hospital Information Systems. First, I want to review the history of hospital information systems and how we evolved to the point where analytics is so important.
Hair loss, also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to a loss of hair from part of the head or body. Typically at least the head is involved. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to the entire body. Typically inflammation or scarring is not present.
Maleness was recognized by Aristotle as a cause of baldness. He wrote that no boy, woman or castrated male ever becomes bald and he thought that baldness was a sign of virility (he was bald himself!). To a large degree, science has proved him right. Baldness is the result of hair follicles reacting to male hormones. However, men with male pattern baldness do not have more male hormones than other men. It is simply that their hair follicles are more responsive to the hormones. The main male hormone is testosterone.
