Women’s hair loss has grown to be a serious issue. Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most common cause of hair loss in women. It cannot be considered just a counterpart of male androgenic alopecia (AGA) as both have distinct etiologies and pathogenesis. Although androgens are known to have a role in male AGA, it is unknown how androgens relate to FPHL. From menarche through pregnancy, nursing, and menopause, a woman experiences a range of hormonal changes that affect every part of her body, including her hair. Due to these variations, women are more vulnerable to environmental factors that function as epigenetic agents and contribute to the pathophysiology of FPHL. Dietary inadequacies such as iron deficiency are also much more common in women as compared to men. Women who lose hair may be more psychologically distressed. Early occurrences of FPHL are difficult to diagnose and are frequently mistaken for telogen effluvium, which delays the initiation of effective treatment. More than 50% of the patient’s hair has already been lost by the time they exhibit thinning consistent with Ludwig grade 1, which hinders the therapeutic response. Therefore, treating women with FPHL calls for an entirely different strategy. There has been a sharp increase in cases of hair loss since the COVID outbreak. Prominent female dermatologists from both national and international backgrounds have contributed to this book. This book comes from authors who were the first to establish a hair clinic in a tertiary care hospital in India three decades ago. A patient load of around 300-400 per month inspired us to do research, innovations and allowed us to gain in depth insight in trichology which has culminated into this book. All things considered, this book is a comprehensive guide for effectively managing women with FPHL.

Manual of Clinical Endocrinology 2/Ed.
₹995.00Algorithms provide a logical, concise and cost-effective approach to medical reasoning: utilizing a concise, step-by-step approach based upon clues from the history, physical examination and laboratory studies, algorithms help avoid excessive unnecessary procedures and testing. The 2nd edition of Manual of Clinical Endocrinology deals with practical issues ranging from simple thyroid function testing and thyrotoxicosis to approaching a patient with suspected thyrotoxicosis. Algorithms are simple and effective tools for the practitioner in a hurry and since the majority of the intended audience, physicians, general practitioners and postgraduates have very little time amidst their busy clinical routine, this manual uses algorithms. Twenty-two clinical issues are covered by an algorithmic approach, breaking down long lists and tables of differential diagnosis into smaller, more manageable ones. Common clinical symptoms, signs and laboratory abnormalities are classified as they present themselves at the patient’s bedside. This manual is an attempt to provide the busy practitioner with a desktop reckoner which will be useful while approaching a patient with a suspected endocrine problem. The authors have strived to be practical not pedantic – at the same time have made great effort to ensure that the recommendations are evidence based.

Puzzling Cases in Stroke Vol. 2
₹1,695.00Stroke is a treatable medical emergency affecting about 15 million people every year worldwide. It is the most common cause of common cause of disability globally and is the third most common cause of death. In the present times, there are effective treatment options which if given timely will benefit the patients of stroke remarkably. Therefore, correct diagnosis of acute stroke is extremely important for the clinicians to provide appropriate treatments and to ensure prevention of acute complications, including recurrent strokes. But sometimes a typical or uncommon presentation of stroke or “stroke chameleons”can lead to diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, timely diagnosis and management may be delayed. There are time – tested strategies which when strictly followed by the Neurphysician can reduce the chances of missing the correct diagnosis. Firstly, “Listen very carefully to the patient. He is telling you the diagnosis.” Clinicians should suspect stroke when the history suggests abrupt onset of neurological symptoms. Remember, Stroke is a clinical diagnosis and imaging is providing the corroboratory evidence. Secondly, a complete and systematic neurological examination should be routinely done in patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms because this might shed light on the true nature of the problem. Finally, even the most sophisticated neuroimaging tests might miss the stroke in the early hours after the event.
