picture info	Male Pattern Baldness Pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia (AGA)) is a hair loss condition that primarily affects the top and front of the scalp. In male-pattern hair loss (MPHL), the hair loss typically presents itself as either a receding front hairline, loss of hair on the crown (vertex) of the scalp, or a combination of both. Female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) typically presents as a diffuse thinning of the hair across the entire scalp. Male pattern hair loss seems to be due to a combination of oxidative stress, the microbiome of the scalp, genetics, and circulating androgens; particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Men with early onset androgenic alopecia (before the age of 35) have been deemed as the male phenotypic equivalent for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). As an early clinical expression of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, AGA is related to being an increased risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, glucose metabolism disorders, type 2 diabetes, and enlargement ...

	Mississippi Public Broadcasting Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) is the public broadcasting state network serving the U.S. state of Mississippi.

MPB's headquarters is located on Ridgewood Road in northeast Jackson. History Mississippi was a relative latecomer to public broadcasting. By the late 1960s, it was the only state east of the Mississippi River without an educational television station licensed within its borders. The only areas of the state to get a clear signal from a National Educational Television (NET) or PBS station were the northwestern counties (from Memphis' WKNO) and the counties along the Gulf Coast (from New Orleans' WYES-TV and Mobile's Alabama Educational Television outlet, WEIQ). Finally, in 1969, the Mississippi Legislature created the Mississippi Authority for Educational Television to creat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Monthly Playboy , also known as or ''MPB'', was a franchise of ''Playboy'' magazine in Japan. History and profile ''Monthly Playboy'' was first published in July 1975. Influenced by the sophisticated designs and contents of ''Monthly Playboy'', a number of magazines were launched to imitate it. However, this was a magazine that translated and re-edited ''Playboy'' published in the United States for the Japanese market. As such, it is essentially unrelated to ''Weekly Playboy''. Kazuhiko Torishima, known for bringing Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama to the world, commented as follows. "Monthly Playboy was an interesting magazine with cutting-edge contents that attracted relatively young readers in their 20s and 30s, rather than older, and it also had a good advertising strategy". The magazine ceased publication with the final January 2009 issue, due to a decline in readership. Pop artist Keiichi Tanaami was the magazine's first art director.

	Música Popular Brasileira Música popular brasileira (, ''Popular Brazilian Music'') or MPB is a trend in post-bossa nova urban popular music in Brazil that revisits typical Brazilian styles such as samba, samba-canção and baião and other Brazilian regional music, combining them with foreign influences, such as jazz and rock. This movement has produced and is represented by many Brazilian artists, such as Jorge Ben Jor, Ivan Lins, Novos Baianos, Belchior and Dominguinhos, whose individual styles generated their own trends within the genre. The term is often also used to describe any kind of music with Brazilian origins and "voice and guitar style" that arose in the late 1960s. Variations within MPB were the short-lived but influential artistic movement known as tropicália, and the music of samba rock. MPB songs are in part characterized by their harmonic complexity and their elaborate lyrics, which call back to a connection between Brazil’s popular music and poetry that has been culturally relev ...
