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 and 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. The condition is caused by a combination of male sex hormones (balding never occurs in castrated men) and genetic factors. Some research has found evidence for the role of oxidative stress in hair loss, 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 the male phenotypic equivalent for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The cause in female pattern hair loss remains unclear; androgenetic alopecia for wom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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. Mika Okuda Mika Okuda, one of the 1988 Play ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
