Different types of hair loss are caused by different things. Here is a look at various types and their causes.

  • Androgenetic Alopecia: This is by far the leading type of hair loss in men and women and is a result of genetics. This genetic hair loss is hereditary and can be inherited from either side of the family. Commonly known as male and female pattern baldness, this type of hair loss is due to the action of a chemical known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which attacks the hair follicles and causes hair loss.

  • Telogen Effluvium: This condition is also referred to as diffuse hair loss. In this type of hhair loss, a lot of hair is lost in a short span of time. Leading causes for this condition are pregnancy, chemotherapy for cancer treatment, very high fevers, severe illnesses, and sometimes even high levels of stress can result in telogen effluvium. This is not a permanent condition and most of the lost hair does grow back within a few months.

  • Alopecia Areata: Any sudden loss of hair resulting in bald patches is the condition of alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune disesase where the hair follicles are attacked by the body. Why it happens has not yet been discovered. It can be a mild case and result in bald patches on the head or if it is severe it can affect the entire body hair. This condition usually treats itself without any medication although some doctors may prescribe certain steroid injections for repeated occurrence of localized alopecia areata.

  • Traction Alpoecia: This type of hair loss occurs in people who routinely pull on their hair through harsh brushing or hairstyles such as a tight ponytail that pull on the hair. One prime example of this condition is the braided hair popular with African-americans.
  • Medication Related Hair Loss: Certain medicines such as accutane, allopurinol, and anti-thyroid medicines are known to cause hair loss.
  • Diet Related Hair Loss: Temporary hair loss and hair shedding can result from poor nutrition and an unbalanced diet. If your body is deficient in certain minerals, vitamins, and/or iron, it can cause you to lose hair.

    Swine influenza (swine flu) is a type of influenza (flu) caused by those strains of influenza virus, called swine influenza virus (SIV), that usually infect pigs (hogs). As of this writing (in mid 2009) these strains are all found in Influenza C virus and the subtypes of Influenza A virus known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3. Swine influenza is common in pigs in the midwestern United States (and occasionally in other states), and around the world.     		hair
    The transmission of the swine influenza virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always cause human influenza, often only resulting in the production of antibodies in the blood. The meat of the animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly cooked.

    If transmission does cause human influenza, it is usually called zoonotic swine flu. People who work with pigs, especially people with intense exposures, are at increased risk of catching swine flu. Rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human. In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of flu-like symptoms; such as chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.

    The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as "swine flu", is due to a new strain of influenza labeled "H1N1" that contains genes closely related to swine influenza. This strain can be transmitted from human to human and causes the normal symptoms of influenza. The risk due to this new form of influenza is a global pandemic, since humans lack the natural (or acquired) immunity to this new strain of virii.     		types
    A pandemic (from the Greek word for all "pan" and people "demos") is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has the capability to spread through populations across a large region such as an entire continent, or even worldwide.
