Alopecia, hair loss: historySince earliest times hair was a point of great importance for people, being an object of pride or provoking disgust and repugnance, depending on hair's condition.
Hair shedding (alopecia) is not a slight inconvenience, it's a serious problem. Hair might be considered as means of communication, telling people about our sex and social status. Hair is one of few features we are able to control and to change at our pleasure. Our look may be as eloquent as our words, telling a lot about ourselves to other people.
Aesthetical aspect of hair shedding (alopecia) has been a sore point since earliest times of the mankind. Thick hair embodies spiritual exclusiveness, expresses moral and physical force. Ancient Gods Zeus, Jupiter, Apollo were endowed with the splendid chevelures. David and Samson, Old Testament heroes, had thick and healthy hair, but Samson lost his hair and his vital force has gone along with it. The allusion is quite clear: nice hair means blessing, its absence means trouble. The first Christians believed to be chosen for their moral qualities, so they had been wearing their hair long, like Jesus Christ and his Disciples on the frescoes and relieves of the III century. Julius Caesar spent a lot of time in front of the mirror, combing his hair from back to the forehead and trying to hide his bald patch (from there originates the custom to fix the hair with the laurel wreath).
Many cultures reflect negative attitude of people toward the baldness. Ancient Germans cut hair to the delinquents to dishonor them. In Orient, a man with the bald patch is treated depreciatingly, because, in accordance with the local believes, he has lost not only his hair, but also his masculine nature and force. In the north State of Punjab (India), a man with the short cut hair runs the risk of being put to death. For thousands years the mankind was trying to resolve a problem of hair loss (alopecia). Hippocrates, father of medicine, contributed to the solution of this problem too. He became completely bald, but gained the fame for his contribution into the fight against hair shedding (alopecia). The most severe type of alopecia got the name of Hippocrates. The common belief is that hair shedding is a sign of advanced age. And the old age is accompanied by the impotence. Jean Louriez, Belgian psychologist of the world fame, in basis of the results of the large-scale poll, came to conclusion that male's fear to get bald dominates all other fears, like, for example, fear to be considered a loser, to be fired from his job and to lose his social status, etc. Fear of alopecia means for a man very strong negative emotions, since most of males believe that along with the hair they do lose their attractiveness and sex appeal. The first description of the remedy against hair loss (alopecia), was found in the ancient script, in Egypt. But there is no scientific background behind this remedy and no evidence of its efficiency has been presented so far. The same refers to the hundreds of similar remedies. For many centuries the situation changed little.
Today the hormone preparations against alopecia for external use and enteral introduction are widely applied. The main effect of the drugs for enteral introduction consists in inhibition of the production of the DHT-hormone (dihydrotestosterone). Such treatment, to be efficient, must be applied for years, and nobody knows how harmful could be the prolonged use of the hormonal preparations. Remedies for external use are spread on the affected area. They contain minoxidilum and mainly just slow down hair shedding (alopecia) as they improve blood supply to the hair follicles. The remedy must be applied for decades, but the treatment does not completely prevent hair shedding (alopecia) (see newspaper "SEM'", No.33 of Aug.19-25, 2002, "Seven Farewell to Hair"). As a result of treatment of alopecia with the drugs, containing hormones, more than 2% of men become impotent ("Bald Truth", program of the Discovery Channel). Another method of common use is transplantation of patient's own hair. Transplantation is not a method of treatment of alopecia, but rather a cosmetic procedure, which helps to create an effect of "hair presence". No additional hair appears, but the existing hair is equally spread on the head. This method does not eliminate the cause of hair shedding, so it cannot stop the process.
The third method is the method of the cosmetic caps. Quality hair costs a lot, so a cosmetic cap could be priced at several thousand dollars. The wig is fixed on the head with plaster and glue. Every week you must take the cap of, clean it and fix it again. "American Medical Association Journal" dedicated one of its issues to the results of a large-scale scientific research on the matter of correlation between the type of a bald spot and the risk of the heart ischemic disease (infarcts, angina pectoris, lesions of the heart vessels). The monitoring for health conditions of more than 22000 American males has been realized within the program "Physicians Health Study". Physicians came to the unambiguous conclusion: bald patch in the crown (parietal region) is a sign of a high probability of the heart ischemic disease (infarcts, angina pectoris, affections of the heart vessels) The article has to be read In his speech to the Second Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies Dr. Dominique Van Neste (MD, PhD, Belgium) said the following: " Taking into consideration the fact that there are follicles, staying in rest for twenty years or more, it would be a great achievement to find a drug, able to excite them to a new life".
