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.	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 hairs . This condition usually treats itself without any medication although some doctors may prescribe certain steroid injections for repeated occurrence of localized alopecia areata.
Telogen Effluvium: This condition is also referred to as diffuse hair loss. In this type of hair 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.	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.
swineflu_vaccine Swine flu H1N1 vaccine posted by ekpnrof
The newest single dose vaccine makes adults immune to swine flu after just one shot of the vaccine. In the past, most experts expected that two shots of a vaccination given three weeks apart would be required. A single vaccine means that stockpiles of the medicine may go twice as far. Note that some high risk children will still be required to get both shots of the H1N1 vaccine.	A separate report in the New England Journal suggested that European manufacturers might get away with an even smaller dose. Novartis Vaccines added what's called an "adjuvant", or immune-boosting chemical, to its version of the swine flu shot and found a 7.5-microgram dose was effective. It did, however, have more side effects like injection-site pain. Many countries allow flu vaccines with adjuvants to sell every year, but the US has never approved such an adjuvant-containing flu shot.
These results came from clinical trials of the "CSL" H1N1 swine flu vaccine from Australia. About 40% of the 195 million doses of swineflu vaccinations being purchased by the US are to be made by CSL. US data appears to confirm those findings and show the protection starts rapidly. Note that these reports swine flu vaccine reports center on adults only, studies on children aren't finished at this time.	US Federal officials do not want to discourage healthy adults from getting the shot. But the CDC is only specifically recommending swineflu vaccinations for people at high risk for complications such as medical workers, pregnant women, children under 2 years old, parents of babies, or anyone with existing conditions that could make an influenza infection fatal.
