Welcome To CARF
A nonprofit organization that provides information about cicatricial alopecias for patients, their families, physicians, as well as the public.
http://www.carfintl.org

Extractions: CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA RESEARCH FUND Cicatricial alopecia refers to a group of rare disorders which destroy the hair follicle and replace it with scar tissue, thereby causing permanent hair loss. It occurs worldwide in otherwise healthy men and women of all ages. The Cicatricial Alopecia Research Fund (C.A.R.F.) was formed as a result of one person's experience with scarring alopecia (cicatricial means scarring). When the patient realized that little is known about such disorders, she decided, with the help of her doctor, to initiate a grass roots effort to raise funds to study these problems. C.A.R.F. began raising money with the following mission in mind: C.A.R.F. funds are available to support research that will enhance our knowledge about this difficult group of diseases. Research proposals may be submitted by investigators throughout the world, and will be reviewed by C.A.R.F.'s Scientific Advisory Board who will select the most promising projects. This website has been created to provide information about the cicatricial alopecias for patients and their families, physicians, as well as the public.

Preface
Ebook by Peter Gurney, covers diverse cavy health topics such as alopecia, malocclusion, heat exhaustion and bladder stones.
http://web.onetel.net.uk/~petergurney/preface.html

Extractions: I happen to have a brilliant vet but many vets are not as skilled as they should be in treating these animals, and freely admit it. So it is vital to arm owners with as much information as possible about their veterinary care to enable them to treat them themselves. However, if all the sundry matters concerning guinea pig life are given a wider coverage in a book, I feel that even the skills of owners proficient in veterinary care will need to be called upon less. It is amazing the number of questions I get from owners who have become concerned about the health of one or more of their animals because of a certain behaviour pattern. It may have been a pattern that had been there all the time and they have just had not noticed it or it may have suddenly developed. Living with so many of the wee beasties for such a long time I have become very familiar with all manner of behaviour patterns that I tend to ignore them. I have categorised and stored them neatly away in some corner of that thing I use for a brain and thought no more about them until the inevitable question is asked about one of these behaviours. Its about time I made them accessible to all guinea pig owners. Itll save them a lot of grey hairs and their guinea pigs constant scrutiny! When it comes to housing then I really do have a bee in my bonnet, for being imaginative in this vital matter can only be of benefit to both people and piggies. My main sow pen now takes up one side and a half of my studio flat, is equipped with water features out of which many of my sows drink and at night the subdued lighting is very similar to that which is used in stage lighting. People are very impressed by this but point out that it must be expensive to run. In point of fact, it is all low energy lighting that costs very little to run.

http://www.follicle.com/section2/1.html

Extractions: Alopecia Areata is thought to be an auto-immune disease of the hair, initially appearing as a rounded bare patch about an inch across. Alopecia Areata affects both men and women equally and is often experienced first in childhood. According to a survey taken in America one person in every hundred is likely to experience Alopecia Areata at sometime in their life. Many people affected with Alopecia Areata will only have one experience of hair loss with regrowth occurring afterwards, however it is estimated that in approximately 20% of cases in the UK hair loss recurs or becomes permanent. Researchers believe that Alopecia Areata is an auto-immune disease, this means that the bodys immune system acts as if the hair follicles are foreign and attacks them. White blood cells called T-lymphocytes attack the hair follicle which causes the hair to stop growing and enter into the telogen (resting) phase, then about 3 months later, when the resting phase is over the hair will then fall out. Only when T-lymphocytes stop attacking the hair follicle will new hair grow.

Extractions: Androgenic Alopecia I. Definition: Androgenic alopecia is the name for male and female pattern baldness. In androgenic alopecia the hair loss occurs slowly over years. It can start anytime after age twenty. There is usually a family history of hair loss. In women, the hair slowly becomes thin throughout the scalp and bald spots usually do not occur. Men first develop hair loss at the temples, followed by an enlarging bald spot on top of the head. II. Causes: III. Treatment: Rogaine (minoxidil) is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure which when applied to the skin causes hair growth in some individuals. One out of ten people who use Rogaine will grow hair. Rogaine will slow the rate of hair loss in five out of ten patients who use it. The other four out of ten are wasting their money. Hair transplants are another option for treating androgenic alopecia. Plugs of hair are removed surgically from areas with plenty of hair and implanted in the areas with little hair.

http://www.skinsite.com/info_alopecia_areata.htm

Extractions: Alopecia Areata I. Definition: Alopecia areata is the name for a condition in which round patches of hair loss appear suddenly. The hair-growing tissue is attacked by the patient's own immune cells for unknown reasons. There are three stages: first, there is sudden hair loss, then the patches of hair loss enlarge, and last, new hair grows back. This process takes months, sometimes more than a year, but rarely does the hair never grow back. II. Causes: III. Treatment: Cortisone injections often stimulate hair regrowth. Twenty to thirty injections per patch are required once a month. The injections are uncomfortable. Cortisone injections only work in the areas that have been injected; the injections do not prevent new areas of hair loss. It generally takes one to two months after the injection before hair growth is visible. Some patients do not respond to any treatment. We cannot predict which patients will respond to treatment.

Extractions: PDF version Publication Date: February 2003 Questions and Answers About Alopecia Areata This booklet contains general information about alopecia areata (al-oh-PEE-shah ar-ee-AH-tah). It describes what alopecia is, its causes, and treatment options. Information is also provided on current research. If you have further questions after reading this booklet, you may wish to discuss them with your doctor. What Is Alopecia Areata? Alopecia areata is considered an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system, which is designed to protect the body from foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria, mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, the tiny cup-shaped structures from which hairs grow. This can lead to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere. In most cases, hair falls out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. In many cases, the disease does not extend beyond a few bare patches. In some people, hair loss is more extensive. Although uncommon, the disease can progress to cause total loss of hair on the head (referred to as alopecia areata totalis) or complete loss of hair on the head, face, and body (alopecia areata universalis).

http://www.dermatology.org/skincare/hair/aa_book.htm

Extractions: JERRY SHAPIRO, M.D. FOREWORD BY VERA H. PRICE, M.D. Alopecia areata is a poorly understood, unpredictable disorder that affects more than 2.5 million men, women, and children in the United States and Canada. Causing patchy hair loss on the scalp and sometimes elsewhere on the body, this mysterious, noncontagious condition can be treated, but it cannot yet be cured. Alopecia Areata: Understanding and Coping with Hair Loss Thompson and Shapiro also offer practical strategies for living with alopecia areata, which can go into and out of remission without any apparent reason. They discuss the physical and psychological adjustments to wearing a hairpiece and give pointers on selecting, securing, and maintaining a wig, whether human hair or synthetic, custom- or ready-made. They also discuss how to deal with insurance companies to get compensation for a hairpiece. Alopecia Areata includes a chapter devoted to the special needs of children with this condition and concludes with an epilogue that tells the story of a day in the life of a woman with alopecia areata, illustrating the various challenges she faces and the strategies she uses to cope with them. With frankness, hope, and good humor, Thompson and Shapiro strive to enhance the lives of people suffering from alopecia areata and to ease the pain that comes with living in a world that often values external appearances over all else.

According to a recent study from the Mayo Clinic, the lifetime incidence rate of alopecia areata is 1.7% which makes it almost as common as psoriasis. Sixty percent of patients usually present with their first patch under the age of 20. Twenty percent present with their first patch over the age of 40 and twelve percent present with their first patch past the age of 50. One can classify alopecia areata based on extent of disease or pattern of hair loss.
