Spoon Theory
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is arguably the single most important The Bear meta post I will ever make so please bear with me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first spoon we see in the entire series is when Carmy takes Sydney's spoon to try her stew. This is right after he cut his hand from not being able to find his sharp knife, and before he has to meet with Natalie to get Mikey's jacket, which was stressing him out. She "gave him a spoon" and a bit of positivity when he needed to calm down and get some energy by knowing at the very least Sydney can cook well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Needing a spoon is needing help. When he hands over the brigade to Sydney he is waving around spoons the entire episode, when she really needed his help and his "spoons". Later on Sydney is not afraid to just ask him for his help.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
With the risotto she gave him a "spoon" that would help the restaurant, that brought in a good review and customers, but he didn't have enough of his own "spoons" to deal with it as he was stressing out over the window that just got shot through and the IRS needing the missing tax returns. Right before trying the risotto Carmy had told Richie he is afraid of something good happening. He is afraid of Sydney and him doing well, because the better it gets the more it will hurt him when something goes wrong. That is why he keeps self sabotaging the restaurant and doubting Sydney.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Sydney quit, she is still using her spoons for mental energy to make sure Marcus is okay and to try and figure out her next steps career wise. Carmy grabbed a spoon to open the tomato can lid, which he really didn't need because he could've just used the can opener, and then found the money. When he finds the money they both know they would be fine on their own, she could find another job, he could fix up The Beef. But they still need each others emotional spoons to achieve their passions, so he reaches out and she comes back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Season 2 she did need his "spoons" to help create the menu and decide on the details for the restaurant, but he barely gave her any because he was still so caught up in his past trauma and the literal and metaphorical forks in his life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fixing the table really didn't physically need more than one "spoon"/person. But he needed her there to work through his mental block. With the inspiration food tour, she did it on her own and she didn't physically need him for it, she needed his emotional spoons.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When they are not communicating well with each other and Carmy is trying to reach back and be involved again, he gets as close as he can to her spoon without actually using it.
And now the dark side of spoons.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The originator of spoon theory has lupus and first came up with this theory at a restaurant to explain what it was like living with the condition to a friend. They could've easily said Sydney's mom died of cancer or an accident or anything else. But this is all so intentional, out of all the things it is Lupus. I don't want Sydney to be sick as much as the next person, but Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that has higher likelihood of developing when you have a family member with it, and can be triggered by environmental factors such as stress. It is an invisible illness and Christine's own handle is butyoudontlooksick, which could really explain Sydney and what she has going on behind her walls that people can't see. She has been a rock to so many people and over exerting herself, but there might come a time soon when Sydney will genuinely need other peoples "spoons", especially Carmy's, because she's all out.
Tumblr media
Now that Carmy said he is choosing to give Syd his focus aka his "spoons", will he actually be able to follow through?

The field of post-infectious diseases didn’t (except for ME/CFS) exist prior to the coronavirus. The medical field focused on treating infections – not dealing with their aftermath. Recent studies indicate why that’s not going to fly anymore – and it’s not just because of ME/CFS. It’s because large studies are indicating that a coronavirus infection – whether it’s mild or severe – is upping the risk for all sorts of diseases.
Most of these studies are very large – running into the millions of participants – that rely on electronic health records. They’re comparing the incidence of new diagnoses in people who were infected with the coronavirus with those who weren’t.
Eric Topol recently wrote a blog on the autoimmune implications of COVID-19. Three recently published large studies lead Topol to report a “substantially increased risk of developing a diverse spectrum of new-onset autoimmune diseases.“
The increased risk was not low – a 20-40% increase in the likelihood of coming down with one of these illnesses – and the range of autoimmune illnesses affected was diverse indeed: the studies pointed to dramatic increases in the diagnosis of almost 20 autoimmune diseases. (See blog for the diseases). Since autoimmune disease can take a while to show up after an infection, one can only assume that this number will rise over time.
Other studies have found a marked increase in neurological diseases, including some one might not have thought. Besides things like cognitive disorders, sharp increases in the rates of psychotic disorders, epilepsy, stroke, and parkinsonism as well as others.
Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases have not been as well assessed but increases in asthma, type I and type II diabetes, respiratory diseases, heart failure, and stroke have been seen.
Oddly enough, none of these studies have assessed increased incidences of the one disease long COVID has been most associated with – ME/CFS. Nor have they assessed new diagnoses of fibromyalgia, IBS, dysautonomia, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), or gynecological diseases.
If you want more research into post-infectious illnesses, then linking an infectious event to dozens of serious illnesses can only help.
The study makes one wonder how many chronic illnesses were triggered by an infectious event.
For all of its horrendous impact, the coronavirus pandemic is clearly going to force the medical profession to take a very close look at what happens during an infectious event – and afterward – and that is good news for anyone with a post-infectious illness like ME/CFS.

Call this a rant or a public service announcement or whatever you want to call it. I did partake in a bit of a back and forth exchange with regards to mental health on another blogger's page. Of course as always, people do read the comments but that is it (not beyond what is being said without it being said). Yes I get into debates with people and do not care if I upset or somehow trigger people when it comes to stating observations they do not agree with, especially when they start throwing in bullshit like "sending kids to therapy is positive parenting". Yeah sure, do you even know what that actually means (read here before you decide that)? Because sending children or other people to therapy that isn't needed is NOT part of that equation.
When it comes to depression, some say it's genetic. Sure, this is true... to an extent. When people think of a disorder being genetic, I think a lot of them are thinking things like how Sickle Cell Disease gets passed down or in the sense of "if both parents have a trait or the disease itself, their kids are 25%/50%/75%/100% likely to get it", like in the diagram below. In other words, I think they are mistaking the word genetic with depression in this case as it meaning it's an Inherited Disease.
Tumblr media
This is not quite how it works with diseases like depression, anxiety, etc. I've seen a lot of articles out there say depression is genetic in a very generic sense when what they really mean is having a Genetic Predisposition to it. Or in other words, certain genes that have yet to be identified are contributing factors that either increase or decrease your likelihood to developing a disease as in this case, depression. Per the Verywellhealth.com website I linked to a couple times in this post:
A genetic predisposition can leave you vulnerable to disease if you encounter the right set of contributing factors at some point in your life.1 Contributing factors can be any number of things, including: * Other genes1 * Acute illnesses, like those caused by a virus or bacterium2 * Environmental exposures, like pollution or pesticides3 * Smoking or other tobacco use4 * Alcohol or drug abuse5 * Hormonal changes, such as having a baby or going through menopause6 * Surgery7 * Long-term sleep deprivation8 It typically takes at least one more contributing factor beyond the predisposition to trigger a disease you're susceptible to. When there are multiple contributing factors, it’s called a “multifactorial illness.”
Genetic Predisposition Example Human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are genes that provide instructions for making proteins important to your immune system. Variations in these genes result in the production of slightly different proteins.9 Some of these variations make people more susceptible to autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Siblings who have a parent with an autoimmune condition may or may not develop a similar condition, even if they all inherited the same genes. Whether or not a specific sibling gets an autoimmune condition can depend on variables such as where they travel or work. For example, a sibling who contracts a rare viral illness while traveling could develop an autoimmune condition while recovering. Another sibling might develop an autoimmune condition after years of working in an industrial facility where they were exposed to toxins that affect the immune system. A third sibling might never develop an autoimmune condition simply because they were never exposed to a contributing factor.
Depression is in fact a Multifactorial Illness, namely being there are multiple factors contributing to someone developing depression. Per Medicalnewstoday.com:
Genetics plays a significant role in a person’s risk of developing depression. However, it is not a solely hereditary condition. A hereditary condition is one that occurs due to a mutation, or change, in a specific gene or chromosome. For example, cystic fibrosis is a hereditary condition. If a person inherits a copy of the gene for cystic fibrosis from both parents, they will have the disease from birth. Depression works differently. It is a multifactorial condition, meaning many factors contribute to its development. These factors can be: * biological * environmental * social * psychological The role of genetics in depression Scientists know there is a strong genetic component because of twin studies. Identical twins share the exact same genes, so researchers can study them to see if genetics or environment play a bigger role in the development of diseases. The American Psychiatric Association states that if one identical twin has depression, the other twin has a 70% risk of developing it. This indicates that genes play a big role in a person’s predisposition to depression. An older 2000 review of five twin studies found a 37% heritability rate for depression. The review also found that there was a two- to threefold increase in the risk of depression in the children of parents with depression. However, it is important to note that genetics do not make depression inevitable.
Does depression still sound like a "genetic" disease? To me, even though some articles suggest depression has some possible hereditary factors involved as is said on WebMD, some sources also acknowledge there is no set of genes that are 100% contributory factors in it either (one gene here for example is suggested to have shown up in over 800 families with recurrent depression). It ultimately sounds more or less like a disease that could have epigenetic roots to me, or namely when environmental factors change or modify gene expression via gene-environment interactions.
Is Therapy REALLY for Everyone?
Now onto the next part of my rant. I do not prescribe to the notion that everyone should go to therapy; I believe you shouldn't go to therapy unless it's needed for so many reasons. As this article said, "Research shows not everyone needs therapy — but everyone needs some form of mental health support." It also states:
YOU MAY NEED THERAPY IF… … your symptoms are affecting your ability to function. The need for professional treatment can be most apparent when symptoms of mental illness impair our usual feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. A therapist has the training necessary to help when changes in your mental health lead to symptoms like: * Avoiding social interaction and having trouble in relationships * Having trouble sleeping * Performing worse at school or work * Facing addictions or eating disorders * Suffering from depression, anxiety, hopelessness, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) * Having thoughts of hurting yourself or others
There are people who per this website Anxietycentre.com say therapy doesn't help (at the core of things) the following reasons:
1. Unhealthy underlying factors might be skewing the client’s perception of therapy. 2. Having fears that pose resistance to therapy. 3. Therapy needs to be specific to each person’s struggle. 4. Goals haven’t been set that can be measured along the way to success. 5. There is a mismatch between the client’s struggle and the therapeutic approach used. 6. There is a clash between therapist and client personalities. 7. The therapist wasn’t an effective therapist. 8. The client is looking for a faster solution. 9. The client is looking for an inexpensive solution. 10. The client’s recovery expectations are unrealistic. 11. Inaccurate preconceived notions about therapy. 12. The client believes she should be able to help herself. 13. The client believes his therapist is wrong. 14. The client believes she knows better than the therapist. 15. Resistance is also a common reason why some people believe therapy doesn’t work.
I especially want to talk about number 4 for multiple reasons which is admittedly in part stemming from my own personal experiences and also other things. Another reason that is not quite mentioned on that is because someone just may not need therapy. Too much of anything is a bad thing, including therapy. It drives me insane people so casually say "go to therapy" for their woes or say things like "everyone needs to see a therapist at some point". No, like I said earlier, everyone needs some form of mental support. BIG difference between the two you guys!
There are in fact times when therapy can actually be a bad thing, especially when you either don't need it, it's the wrong kind of therapy, or you get too much of it. I mean there are side effects to every other type of treatment for diseases and disorders, why wouldn't therapy have side effects too? I read a startling statistic that up to 10% of psychotherapy patients actually end up faring worse than they did before they started therapy. With substance abuse, this is predicted to be as high as 15%. For those going through regular grief per that website (NOT grief triggered by sudden events or long-term grief), about half of those patients in grief counseling end up doing worse after than before.
When it comes to children, there are some studies that show more youth clients have negative experiences than have been previously thought in psychotherapy. A pretty concerning thought given how more teenagers since 2012 have been getting diagnosed with depression than in generations before. And when there are people who are so casual about throwing their kids in therapy they might not need and call it "brain exercise". I'm pretty sure that just about any person on the autism spectrum who has gone to Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy (the said gold standard for treating autism) can tell you that sometimes therapy just is a straight up bad idea, just like conversion therapy. As the said founder of ABA therapy O. Ivar Lovaas once said (essentially calling autistic children less than human "in a psychological sense"): “Autistic children are severely disturbed. People seem to be no more than objects to them… You see, you start pretty much from scratch when you work with an autistic child. You have a person in the physical sense—they have hair, a nose and a mouth—but they are not people in the psychological sense.” So, for those of you who blindly advocate for kids to go to therapy, did you do your homework and make sure they in fact DO need therapy as below... or are you just one of those idiotic woke culture folks who parrot shit they read and hear on social media but don't actually do REAL research on LEGIT websites to form an educated opinion?
Sign 1: Sudden or Drastic Changes in Behavior Sign 2: Persistent Sadness or Anxiety Sign 3: Difficulty with School and Academic Performance Sign 4: Changes in Sleep Patterns or Eating Habits Sign 5: Social Withdrawal or Difficulty with Peer Relationships
Next Steps: Getting Started with Therapy for Kids If you’ve recognized any of these signs in your child, you might be wondering what to do next. Here are some steps to help you get started: Consult your pediatrician: Discuss your concerns with your child’s pediatrician. They can offer guidance, rule out any underlying medical issues, and provide referrals to mental health professionals. Research therapists: Look for therapists who specialize in working with children and have experience in addressing the specific concerns you’ve identified. You can ask for recommendations from friends, family, or your pediatrician, or search online directories and professional associations. Interview potential therapists: Before committing to a therapist, consider scheduling an initial consultation to ensure they’re a good fit for your child. Ask about their experience, therapeutic approach, and any additional training they’ve received in working with children. Involve your child: When possible, involve your child in the process of selecting a therapist. This can help them feel more comfortable and invested in their therapy journey. Be patient and supportive: It may take time for your child to develop a trusting relationship with their therapist and see improvements. Offer support and encouragement throughout the process, and keep an open line of communication with the therapist to monitor progress.
There is one rather noteworthy type of therapy mentioned in a previously quoted article here:
Expressive-Experiential Therapies Treatments that focus on experiencing or releasing powerful emotions can be helpful for some, but harmful for others. This form of emotional catharsis has been found to result in an increase of negative emotion rather than a reduction. These findings are similar to those indicating that catharsis for anger, such as punching a pillow, results in even more anger."
For those of you who follow my page and watch the show Supernatural, there's a great example of this being portrayed on one of the episodes. On Supernatural Season 1 Episode 10 "Asylum" where Dean said "Dr. Feelgood was working on like some sort of extreme-rage therapy. He thought that if he could get his patients to vent their anger then they'd be cured of it. Instead, it only made them worse and worse, and angrier and angrier."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Big takeaway here is that when it comes to depression, saying it's "genetic" doesn't mean it's an Inherited Disease but it simply means you have a higher Genetic Predisposition to it. And don't sit there and tell me you know what it means when articles say "depression is genetic" and assuming this is why someone's kids are in therapy. "Oh dad's got it so who knows what he passed onto the kids". I'm sorry but sit the fuck down and shut up if you have ignorant arguments like this. Blindly saying everyone should go to therapy because everyone needs it is just frankly idiotic at best and dangerous at worst. Just because a product is on the market doesn't make it safe, same with treatment. Did you all also forget about the Thalidomide Tragedy, or when doctors actually promoted smoking, or when handwashing as a remedy to reducing disease was laughed at ('cause going from surgery to the maternity ward without washing your hands can't be contributing to disease right)? Point is, quit blindly trusting sources without questioning everything. And if you aren't educated enough on something, just shut the fuck up and sit down. You speaking on something you know barely a thing about is not only going to make you look stupid by those who do know better, you're hurting those who are just as ignorant if not more ignorant than you are.

being physically disabled at a young age is such a weird thing. i’ve got a level of perspective that most people don’t but my god is it hell to navigate the world as a young disabled person. for years i’ve been told that i’m too young to have a physical disability only for doctors to now think i have an autoimmune disease that is causing insane levels of pain across my body. i wasn’t lying about it and surprise it had nothing to do with my weight.
i use a cane to get around because i currently can’t afford anything that would be better suited and i get such weird looks. a doctor asked me if i really needed it and who told me i needed it— i don’t walk around with a cane for shits and giggles, i told myself i needed it because walking without support was becoming unbearable. in likelihood i probably am going to need a wheelchair at some point but ill cross that bridge when i get to it.
before i became estranged from my family i was constantly being met with their own internalised ableism. they’re both physically disabled but i was constantly told that i was over exaggerating or i was making it up because i was between the ages of 14-22 (im 22 currently) and god forbid i complain about my pain and my disability when they have it so much worse. it’s bullshit i am allowed to complain.
my uni was weird initially about me claiming i had a disability, mostly because i didn’t have a definitive diagnosis other than generalised chronic pain. but i continued to push and win for me, i got a ground floor flat so i no longer have to walk up three flights of stairs (because for some reason this building doesn’t have a lift???)
i guess i wanted to sort of write this all out because life is complex as a young physically disabled person (and i have mental disabilities on top of that lol) i’m proud of myself for getting where i am all things considered but i wish i had answers to what is really going on with my body, i wish people took me seriously and i wish i wasn’t relying on pain medication to get through my day.
sorry for the long post and i’m sure like no one is going to read through it all 😭 but i suppose i just wanted to write it out

I don’t know why I’ve suddenly been imbued with the audacity of actually writing a real tumblr post instead of just reglobbing but um
On behalf of myself and all immunocompromised people
PLEASE GET YOUR SHOTS THIS SEASON
Please
I didn’t used to exempt myself from seasonal vaccines. I don’t even want to, I don’t even like it. But my body’s defenses and reactions are so frail and inflamed that if I take the shot, I will get sick. Really sick. Probably weeks of real pain and illness and slow recovery overreacting to the vaccine, and it will cost me my grades, my social life, my mental health, and that’s when a billion different logistical and health hurdles are already threatening my tenuous hold on those things as it is. I have to work so hard, and make decisions so, so carefully just to maximize the possibility that I’ll hopefully! Hopefully. Be well. Or at least well enough.
I have misunderstood and untreatable autoimmune disease(s) that have (in all likelihood) damaged my organs and decreased my ability to digest food and absorb vitamins on my own. I’m already in so much pain and fatigue every day that I (thank the Lord that I have this resource) use a wheelchair to help me get around without making myself sicker just from the strain of doing the regular stuff.
I have had COVID at least once. Thankfully I had taken the vaccine that time. But the vaccine reaction was almost as bad as the real thing. BUT if you’re healthy, (or at least healthier than me) THIS WILL NOT BE TRUE FOR YOU. You can afford a couple days of feeling a little under the whether. Right? I feel under the weather or worse literally every day of my friggin life, and often I just get on with things.
So…. Do it for me? So I don’t get long COVID? Or just like, the flu? Or other things that are popping up! Wear a mask and stay home if you can when you’re sick, thoughI know the latter is very difficult to get away with for so many. I just ask because these things could actually damage me in ways they might not damage you. And if you don’t do it for me, do it for the people that could just be straight up killed by a respiratory illness. That stuff spreads so easily, and they are likely locked up in their houses just as painfully as you were in lockdown trying to stay alive. Yet, like you, they have lives and hopes and dreams and are worthy of human decency and care and respect. But believe me, we don’t often feel enough of it, let alone from our doctors. All too often not even from our own families.
Or, you know, like, do it for yourself and other able bodied people who could suddenly find yourselves in our position through this Long COVID stuff. I know!! I know it feels like naw that would never happen to you. Is this stuff even for real? But trust me trust me, it can, it will. A lot of us sickies were like you once. And a lot of us still don’t have answers for what “went wrong.” And realizing that none of us are all that different, that we’re al in this together actually! Is one of the first biggest steps to compassionate and real, noticeable change. Caring enough about others and their needs enough to be mindful about simple stuff.
And hey, MAYBE just on your own, none of it will be enough. But at least you can look back and comfort yourself saying you tried. You didn’t take our lives for granted.
LOL anyway I’m just so nervous about school this winter please help me get my bachelor’s in as much peace as possible

Reasons to not have kids:
* Increased likelihood of autoimmune disease
* Pelvic floor dysfunction
* Diastasis recti
* Depression
* Anxiety
* Postpartum psychosis
* Choriocarcinoma

I was thinking this morning about life stuff and I guess the things that are often expected of people, mostly the action of having a child and how I feel about it now vs in the past or whatever. Most of it hasn't changed at all- I think I have the potential to be a good parent, but it's also never been a priority in my life and I can't predict whether it will or not in the future.
Beyond like, priorities and wanting/not wanting children, I think the weirder part is the fact that it's something that like, is probably not actually viable for me, even if I really really wanted a child. I got diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease at like 17 or 18 (honestly can't remember how old now, but it's an autoimmune disorder that attacks your thyroid and causes it to be destroyed over time/in many cases ends with the thyroid needing to be removed). Even though I've been medicated for it since then, it's gotten worse and worse (and started to progress faster as I got a little older). Although pregnancies with the disease can be okay if everything is monitored really heavily, there's a high likelihood of miscarriage, birth defect, and total failure of the thyroid, so I don't know if that's something I'd ever knowingly sign up for both for my sake and the sake of a potential kid (esp now just given how my levels have dropped so frequently the past couple of years).
That being said, I don't actually have anything against the prospect of raising a kid. I think if I ever had a partner who was capable of getting pregnant, it would be really exciting to consider, if that's what we both wanted to do at the time. And there exists adoption ofc. So yeah, still not a major priority but also not something I'd ever rule out depending on who I'm with and if that's how things worked out. I don't really know why I'm talking about this tbh, it's kind of just been on my mind since so many family members have been having kids in the past few years and the holidays just happened so I saw everyone lol.

i read somewhere that some people's adhd and autism are caused by trauma/actually cptsd, how true is this claim?
If you want to be pedantic, it's 0% true.
Autism and ADHD are both neurodevelopmental disorders: they're impairments of the growth and development of the brain and/or the central nervous symptom. That means that neurodevelopmental disorders present themselves very early in life, usually before the age of 5 or 6. For ADHD, the DSM-5 criteria explicitly requires that, "symptoms must have occurred by age 12".
Both autism and ADHD are highly genetic (between 74% and 93% heritable for autism and 74% for ADHD). Other factors that are thought to contribute to the development of autism in children include maternal gestational diabetes, maternal and paternal age over 30, bleeding during pregnancy after the first trimester, use of certain prescription medications during pregnancy, and meconium in the amniotic fluid. Low vitamin D levels in early development, maternal nutrition, inflammation , and/or autoimmune diseases during preconception and pregnancy, and exposure to air pollution during pregnancy may also play a part. For ADHD, low birth weight, premature birth, certain infections during pregnancy and early childhood, traumatic brain injury in early childhood, and extreme neglect, abuse, or social deprivation increase the likelihood that a person will develop it.
All that said, trauma can cause symptoms of executive dysfunction that resemble ADHD or symptoms of social dysfunction that resemble autism, and C-PTSD can resemble both conditions. This is especially true if the trauma occurred in early childhood. So in that sense, the idea that's being expressed here ("ADHD and autism can be caused by trauma and C-PTSD") is essentially correct, even though people are using the actual words "ADHD" and "autism" incorrectly. The difference is that the root cause of the symptoms are different for people with neurodevelopmental disorders versus people with trauma disorders, and so they require different treatment plans in order to help the person recover. For example, people with C-PTSD are unlikely to respond to stimulant medication even though it's a first line of treatment for executive dysfunction in people who have ADHD. People with C-PTSD need to process their trauma in order to improve their symptoms.
The last thing I want to mention here isn't directly related to your question, but I think it's worth talking about. Other medical conditions, such as chronic fatigue syndrome or postviral syndromes like long COVID, can cause executive dysfunction that looks like ADHD. I think that's a big reason why ADHD has seemed to become so prevalent in recent years. I mention this just to say that even if a person has executive functioning issues that aren't ADHD, their struggle is still real and valid and deserves help. I really don't think people are "faking" ADHD because it's become a trend on TikTok; I think there's just been an influx of people who all of a sudden have symptoms they don't know how to describe and who are looking for answers.

Vitiligo Disease Treatment: Effective Solutions for Restoring Skin Pigmentation
Tumblr media
What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a persistent skin condition that is characterised by the loss of colour in specific parts of the skin, which can result in spots or white patches. It happens when melanocytes, cells that produce melanin (the pigment that gives the skin its colour), are destroyed or cease to function correctly. Vitiligo can affect any area of the body but it is most commonly seen on the hands, face, feet, arms and vitiligo on lips. It can affect any-one of any race or ethnicity, but it's most noticeable when people have darker skin. 
While vitiligo does not pose a threat to life or is infectious, its effect on self-esteem as well as psychological well-being can be substantial. Vitiligo sufferers may feel embarrassed or frustrated. They may also experience depression due to the obvious characteristics of the disease.
What Does Vitiligo Look Like? 
Vitiligo is characterised by patches of skin that have lost their pigmentation and appear lighter or whiter than the skin. These patches' edges could be sharp and differ in the size. In some instances patches remain small, but in others they could spread or expand in time. The condition of vitiligo on lips is very common, leading to distinct white or pale areas in the area around your mouth. There is a treatment option for the white spot on your lips as quickly as you can.
The condition may appear symmetrically (on each side of your body) or unsymmetrically. For some people, the depigmentation is only limited to a few areas and for others, vast areas of the body can be affected. In certain instances it is also possible that vitiligo causes changes in the hair's colour and make your eyebrows, hair around the head or beard, grey or white earlier than anticipated.
Is Vitiligo a Genetic Disease?
Vitiligo is thought to be caused by an element of genetics since it is often seen within families. But it isn't the only factor that causes it. Disease. Studies show that around 20% of those suffering from Vitiligo have at least one close relative who also suffers from it.
Vitiligo is also linked to some autoimmune disorders that include thyroid diseases as well as type 1 diabetes and Rheumatoid arthritis. In autoimmune disorders where the immune system misinterprets and attacks the body's cells. For vitiligo the immune system can focus on melanocytes, which can lead to their destruction, resulting in disappearance of pigmentation.
A genetic predisposition can increase the likelihood of someone being prone to develop vitiligo symptoms, other environmental factors, such as sunburn, stress and exposure to chemicals can trigger the condition.
Natural Treatments for Vitiligo
Many people look for vitiligo treatment naturally to control their vitiligo-related symptoms. Although the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of the treatments isn't the same among vitiligo treatments, the most popular vitiligo treatment naturally:
Nutrition and diet: A Healthy, balanced diet that is rich in antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients is essential for overall well-being and good skin treatment. Certain people believe that certain nutrients, like Vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene, can improve the health of your skin.
Herbal treatments: Certain herbal remedies, like turmeric and ginkgo biloba, are believed to have immune-modulating effects that can benefit people suffering from Vitiligo. But, more research is required to establish their efficacy.
Topical Natural Products Some individuals apply natural oils, like coconut oil and black cumin seed oils, to areas of concern in the hope of restoring colour.
Lifestyle and Coping Strategies
Vitiligo sufferers must develop psychological or emotional techniques for dealing with it because the condition can affect self-esteem and psychological health. Counselling, support groups and connecting with other people with vitiligo may offer the needed emotional support. Camouflage makeup can be utilised to hide depigmented spots and aid those with the condition feel more at ease when socialising.
Protect yourself from Sun Exposure
Since depigmented skin is more prone to sunburn so sun protection is vital for those with the condition known as vitiligo. Applying broad-spectrum sunblock which has an SPF of high as well as wearing protection clothing can reduce the risk of sunburns, which can worsen the vitiligo condition or cause new spots.
Vitiligo disease Treatment for white spot on skin
Treatment for white spot on skin is often based on the severity of the depigmentation, the region of the body affected and personal preferences. Certain individuals do not seek treatment, while some prefer natural or medical treatment options.
Depigmentation: If there is a significant amount of vitiligo on the skin, some opt to go through depigmentation treatment. This is done by using vitiligo medication to lighten the rest of the pigmented skin, which results in an appearance that is more uniform.
The Best Treatment for Vitiligo
The most effective approach is based on the type of skin that is present, the severity of the problem, and how it affects the daily routine. However, a mix of treatments often produces the most effective outcomes. The Best Treatment for Vitiligo could comprise:A consultation with a dermatologist who can investigate different methods and treatments is essential to find the most effective solution to manage the condition of vitiligo. If it's vitiligo that affects the vitiligo on lips or in other places that require treatment, the Best Treatment for Vitiligo is to improve the skin's appearance and increase confidence, allowing people to live life with confidence despite the challenges that this disease can bring.

Advancing Precision Diagnostics: Technology, Applications, and Future Insights
Adequate diagnosis is the use of advanced technologies to accurately analyze biological markers in patients. This emerging field allows for more targeted diagnosis and treatment compared to traditional one-size-fits-all approaches. By developing a deep understanding of disease at the molecular level, adequate diagnosis can enable truly personalized care for each unique patient. Advanced Technology Enabling Precision
Major technological advances are fueling the rise of adequate Precision Diagnostics. Next-generation sequencing has dramatically reduced the cost and increased the speed of obtaining genetic information from patients. This genomic data provides crucial biomarkers that can indicate disease risk, identify molecular subgroups, and predict treatment responses. Advanced imaging techniques now allow visualization of organs and tissues at microscopic resolution. Combining molecular analysis with diagnostic imaging creates a multi-dimensional overview of a patient's condition. Computer algorithms also play an important role by synthesizing huge amounts of biomarker and clinical data to derive diagnostic and prognostic insights. Together, these technologies empower clinicians with the tools for pinpoint targeting and tracking of diseases. Insights for a Variety of Precision Diagnostics
Cancer is one area that has benefited greatly from adequate diagnosis approaches. Genomic profiling of tumor samples routinely identifies disease-driving genetic alterations that can be targeted with specific therapies. For example, detection of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations in lung cancer guides treatment decisions for EGFR inhibitor drugs. Similar molecular characterization is available for other cancer types like melanoma, leukemia, and breast cancer. Cardiovascular diseases are also embracing precision, with new genetic risk scores to predict heart attack or stroke likelihood. Biomarkers in blood can detect early signs of conditions like heart failure and help monitor responses to therapies over time. In neurology, biomarkers hold promise for improving Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease diagnoses which currently rely on clinical assessments. Molecular subtyping of lung diseases, infections and autoimmune conditions may also enable personalized management strategies in the future. Challenges in Implementing Adequate diagnosis
While the opportunities presented by adequate diagnosis are exciting, challenges remain in fully realizing this vision in clinical practice. One major hurdle is the complexity of analyzing, securely storing and interpreting vast amounts of multi-dimensional patient data. Turning raw biomarkers into actionable medical insights requires advanced data analytics capabilities that will continue advancing. Regulatory bodies must also establish standards and oversight procedures for precision diagnostic tests to ensure accuracy, efficacy and safety. Reimbursement policies need revising to account for the development costs of precision technologies and ongoing monitoring of patients. Building an adequately skilled clinical workforce is equally important, as physicians need training to proficiently collect and interpret different biomarkers alongside traditional examinations. Over time, large real-world outcomes studies will further validate the clinical utility and cost-effectiveness of precision approaches on diverse patient populations and health systems. With dedication to addressing these obstacles, adequate diagnosis show tremendous long-term potential to transform healthcare delivery. Get more insights on Precision Diagnostics

📆 03 Sep 2024 📰 Is Covid-19 triggering type-1 diabetes in children? 🗞️ Indian Express
A recent report in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests that children who are at high risk for type-1 diabetes and have not yet shown symptoms may be more likely to develop the chronic disease after contracting Covid-19.
Researchers in Germany conducted a study that followed 509 children from February 2015 to October 2023. The study focused on children between the ages of 1-16 with multiple islet autoantibodies. These proteins are known to attack and harm the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, eventually leading to type-1 diabetes. Islet autoantibodies can be detected in the blood long before any symptoms of diabetes appear, making them powerful indicators of the likelihood of developing type-1 diabetes.
Before the pandemic, the diagnosis rate for diabetes in children was 6.4 cases per 100 children per year. This rate did not show a significant increase when the study participants were not infected with the Covid-19 virus. However, among the 236 children who did contract Covid-19, the rate of transitioning to a clinical diagnosis of diabetes more than doubled, reaching 14 cases per 100 children per year.
Dr Aasim Maldar, consultant, endocrinologist and diabetologist, PD Hinduja Hospital and Medical Research Centre in Mumbai, has noted a gradual increase in the incidence of diabetes among children in India. He mentioned that it’s challenging to determine whether there has been a rise in the absolute number of children with new diagnoses of type-1 diabetes after the Covid-19 pandemic, as there is no published study in India on the matter. However, he pointed out several possible reasons for the increasing number of type-1 diabetes cases.
“Analysis of large healthcare service data sets from many western countries has shown a substantial increase in type-1 diabetes after the Covid-19 pandemic. There could be a direct effect of SARS-CoV2 virus on the development of type-1 diabetes (like enteroviruses, cytomegalovirus, and rubella virus have previously shown to be associated with the development of T1D),” he said.
“Exposure to common infections in childhood has shown to be protective against auto-immune diseases like type-1 diabetes, and this shielding may render children more susceptible to autoimmune diseases,” he said, adding that during the pandemic parents adapted a highly protective environment for their children, which prevented them from getting exposed to various antigens or factors which actually help boost immunity.

Comprehensive Guide to Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: Causes, Effective Treatments, and Long-Term Management
Tumblr media
Introduction
Hashimoto Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland, is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern, particularly in women. The condition leads to chronic inflammation of the thyroid, often resulting in hypothyroidism — a state where the thyroid is unable to produce sufficient hormones. Understanding Hashimoto Thyroiditis is crucial for effective management, as early detection and treatment can significantly improve quality of life.

What is Hashimoto Thyroiditis?
Hashimoto Thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to its gradual destruction. First identified by Dr. Hakaru Hashimoto in 1912, this condition has since become one of the most common causes of hypothyroidism worldwide. As the immune system continually assaults the thyroid, it becomes unable to produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormones, leading to a host of metabolic disturbances.
Causes of Hashimoto Thyroiditis
The exact cause of Hashimoto Thyroiditis remains elusive, but a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors is believed to contribute to its development. A genetic predisposition is often evident, with the disease frequently running in families. Environmental triggers, such as excessive iodine intake, viral infections, and exposure to radiation, have also been implicated. Hormonal changes, particularly in women, may exacerbate the condition, explaining why it is more prevalent among females. Central to the disease is autoimmune dysfunction, where the immune system erroneously identifies thyroid cells as foreign and mounts an attack against them.
Risk Factors Associated with Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Certain factors increase the likelihood of developing Hashimoto Thyroiditis. Women, particularly those between the ages of 30 and 50, are at higher risk, with the condition being up to ten times more common in women than men. A family history of thyroid disease or other autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis, also heightens the risk. Additionally, excessive iodine consumption, either through diet or supplements, can trigger the onset of the disease in susceptible individuals.
Symptoms and Signs of Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Hashimoto Thyroiditis often progresses insidiously, with symptoms developing gradually over months or even years. Early on, patients may notice subtle signs such as fatigue, weight gain, or sensitivity to cold. As the disease advances, more pronounced symptoms emerge, including dry skin, hair loss, muscle weakness, and depression. In some cases, the thyroid gland may enlarge, forming a goiter, which can cause discomfort and difficulty swallowing. If left untreated, Hashimoto’s can lead to severe complications such as heart disease, infertility, and myxedema coma, a life-threatening condition.
Diagnosis of Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Diagnosing Hashimoto Thyroiditis involves a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. During a physical examination, a doctor may detect an enlarged thyroid or observe symptoms indicative of hypothyroidism. Blood tests are crucial, particularly those measuring thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, free T4, and the presence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), which are often elevated in Hashimoto’s patients. In some cases, an ultrasound may be performed to assess the size and structure of the thyroid gland, and a biopsy may be recommended to rule out other conditions.
Impact on Overall Health
The effects of Hashimoto Thyroiditis extend beyond the thyroid, impacting various aspects of health. Metabolically, the slowed production of thyroid hormones can lead to weight gain, lethargy, and a decreased ability to tolerate cold. Mentally, patients often experience depression, memory problems, and a general sense of mental fog. Furthermore, Hashimoto’s is associated with an increased risk of developing other autoimmune conditions, such as celiac disease and lupus. Without appropriate treatment, the long-term consequences can be severe, affecting cardiovascular health, reproductive function, and overall well-being.
Conventional Treatment Options
The cornerstone of treatment for Hashimoto Thyroiditis is hormone replacement therapy, typically with levothyroxine, a synthetic form of T4. This medication helps restore normal hormone levels, alleviating symptoms and preventing complications. Dosage is tailored to the individual, with regular monitoring to ensure optimal levels. In addition to hormone therapy, other medications may be prescribed to address specific symptoms, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs or antidepressants. Surgery is rarely required but may be considered in cases of large goiters or if thyroid cancer is suspected.
Lifestyle and Dietary Changes
Lifestyle modifications play a critical role in managing Hashimoto Thyroiditis. Diet, in particular, can influence the course of the disease. Foods rich in selenium, zinc, and vitamin D support thyroid health, while those high in sugar and processed ingredients should be limited. Gluten and dairy are often avoided, as they can exacerbate autoimmune responses in some individuals. Managing stress is equally important, as chronic stress can trigger or worsen symptoms. Techniques such as meditation, yoga, and regular physical activity are beneficial in maintaining balance and reducing the impact of the disease.
Integrative and Alternative Therapies
Beyond conventional medicine, many patients explore integrative and alternative therapies to support their thyroid health. Supplements such as selenium, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids have shown promise in supporting immune function and reducing inflammation. Acupuncture and chiropractic care are often sought to alleviate symptoms like fatigue and joint pain, while mind-body techniques such as mindfulness and biofeedback can help manage stress and improve overall well-being. While these therapies are not a substitute for medical treatment, they can complement traditional approaches and enhance quality of life.
Long-Term Management and Monitoring
Effective management of Hashimoto Thyroiditis requires ongoing monitoring and adjustment of treatment. Regular blood tests to check TSH and free T4 levels are essential, as these values guide medication adjustments. Over time, the dosage of thyroid hormone replacement may need to be modified based on changes in the patient’s condition, weight, or other health factors. Consistent monitoring ensures that symptoms remain controlled and reduces the risk of complications. Additionally, patients are encouraged to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay informed about their condition to better manage it over the long term.
Coping with Hashimoto Thyroiditis
Living with Hashimoto Thyroiditis presents both physical and emotional challenges. Many patients struggle with feelings of fatigue, frustration, and anxiety, particularly if the disease is not well-controlled. Support from family, friends, and healthcare providers is crucial in navigating these challenges. Joining a support group, either in-person or online, can provide valuable connections with others who understand the condition and offer practical advice.

Benefits of Maintaining a Healthy Gut
Tumblr media
Introduction to Gut Health
The gut is a complex and dynamic system that plays a pivotal role in human health. Far beyond its basic function of digesting food, the gut is integral to numerous bodily systems, influencing everything from immunity to mental well-being. Maintaining a healthy gut is not just about avoiding digestive discomfort; it is about fostering a foundation for overall wellness. A well-functioning gut is essential for vitality, resilience, and longevity.
Gut Health and Digestion
One of the primary benefits of a healthy gut is efficient digestion. When the gut is balanced and functioning optimally, nutrient absorption is maximized. The body can effectively extract and utilize vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients from food. A healthy gut also helps prevent common digestive disorders such as bloating, constipation, and acid reflux. By maintaining a robust gut, you ensure that your digestive system operates smoothly, reducing the risk of discomfort and chronic digestive issues.

Immune System Support
The gut is home to a significant portion of the body’s immune system. This is where the gut-immune connection comes into play. A healthy gut hosts a diverse and balanced microbiome, which supports immune function by preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and promoting the production of antibodies. This strengthens the body’s defenses against pathogens, reducing the likelihood of infections and autoimmune conditions. A well-maintained gut acts as a first line of defense, safeguarding overall health.
Mental Health and the Gut-Brain Axis
The connection between the gut and the brain, known as the gut-brain axis, is a fascinating area of study. A healthy gut influences mood, cognition, and emotional well-being. The gut produces a substantial portion of the body’s serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and anxiety. When gut health is compromised, it can lead to imbalances in these neurotransmitters, potentially contributing to conditions like depression and anxiety. Conversely, nurturing gut health can promote mental clarity, emotional stability, and a more balanced mood.
Energy Levels and Metabolism
A healthy gut is crucial for maintaining consistent energy levels. The gut microbiome plays a role in breaking down food into usable energy, influencing metabolic rate and efficiency. When the gut is in balance, energy production is optimized, leading to fewer energy slumps and greater vitality throughout the day. Additionally, gut health impacts weight management. A balanced microbiome helps regulate appetite and metabolism, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight and avoid metabolic disorders.
Inflammation Control
Chronic inflammation is a root cause of many modern health issues, from cardiovascular disease to arthritis. A healthy gut can significantly reduce systemic inflammation. The gut microbiome influences the body’s inflammatory responses, and when it is balanced, it helps to modulate these responses, preventing excessive inflammation. This is crucial for protecting against chronic diseases and maintaining overall health. By fostering a healthy gut, you can keep inflammation in check and promote long-term well-being.
Skin Health and Appearance
The condition of your skin is often a reflection of your internal health, particularly your gut health. The gut-skin relationship is evident in conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis, which are often linked to imbalances in the gut. A healthy gut can lead to clearer, more radiant skin. When the gut is balanced, it helps to eliminate toxins effectively and reduces inflammatory skin responses. Prioritizing gut health can therefore result in a healthier, more youthful complexion.

Tumblr media
Hormonal regulation is another area where gut health plays a critical role. The gut microbiome influences the production, metabolism, and elimination of hormones. Imbalances in the gut can lead to hormonal disruptions, contributing to conditions like PMS, menopause symptoms, and thyroid issues. By maintaining a healthy gut, you support the body’s ability to regulate hormones naturally, reducing the likelihood of hormonal imbalances and their associated symptoms.
Detoxification and Waste Elimination
The gut is a key player in the body’s detoxification processes. A healthy gut efficiently eliminates waste and toxins, preventing them from accumulating in the body. This is vital for overall health, as the buildup of toxins can lead to a range of health problems, from fatigue to chronic diseases. Supporting gut health through a balanced diet and proper hydration enhances the body’s natural cleansing processes, promoting better health and vitality.
Longevity and Quality of Life
A healthy gut is a cornerstone of longevity and quality of life. As we age, maintaining a robust gut becomes increasingly important. A balanced gut supports cognitive function, metabolic health, and immune resilience, all of which are crucial for aging well. Additionally, a healthy gut contributes to a higher quality of life by preventing chronic illnesses, enhancing mental well-being, and promoting overall vitality. By prioritizing gut health, you can not only extend your lifespan but also improve the quality of your years.
Cultivating a healthy gut is an investment in your future well-being. The benefits extend far beyond digestion, touching every aspect of health and vitality. By taking care of your gut, you take care of your whole self, ensuring a life marked by energy, resilience, and fulfillment.

Everything One Needs To Know About Hair Fall
Every hair follicle's hair growth cycle concludes with hair fall. It usually goes unnoticed when hair growth and shedding are balanced. However, it becomes an aesthetic concern when hair loss is extensive and sudden, without accompanying hair growth. Such difficulties affect anybody at some time and may intensify with age. It may be transient or permanent. Those suffering from hair loss and wish to seek treatment can find the best hair fall treatment in South Delhi. We'll get into more detail later, but first, let's review some basic information on hair loss and its causes.
Tumblr media
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Hair Fall/Loss?
Tumblr media
The indications and symptoms of hair fall or loss differ between children, men, and women. 
Anyone who has combed their hair may discover many strands in the shower drain, pillow cover, or hairbrush. These are all indicators of significant hair loss.
When males experience significant hair loss, they may see thinning hair on their heads, a receding hairline, or baldness in a horseshoe pattern. 
Women may present with generalized hair thinning or loss, particularly at the crown of their heads. 
Among children and young adults, the signs of hair loss include rapid falling out of a patch of hair or frequent hair shedding following certain medications, medical conditions, stress, significant weight loss, and many more. 
What are the Causes of Hair Fall?
Tumblr media
Hair loss can occur owing to a variety of factors, including:
Family History: Men and women with a family history of hair loss are more prone to suffer from androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern baldness, an inherited disorder.
Hormonal Changes: Variations in the levels of male and female sex hormones in an individual during reproductive health events such as pregnancy, puberty, or menopause can all cause hair loss. Prolonged usage of oral birth control tablets may cause hair loss due to a decrease in estrogen and an increase in androgen hormone levels. Thyroid issues can also produce hormone fluctuations, which impact hair follicle growth.
Stress: When a person is physically or emotionally stressed, their cortisol levels rise. Excess cortisol causes abrupt, patchy hair loss, a disorder known as alopecia areata.
Nutritional deficiencies occur when people do not consume a balanced diet on a daily basis. If their diet is weak in key vitamins, minerals, and proteins, their hair will grow poorly, and existing hair strands may fall out quickly.
Poor Environmental Conditions: Daily exposure to contaminants in the environment can cause hair breakage and loss.
Scalp Infection or Trauma: A head injury or a ringworm infection on the scalp can cause hair loss.
Some Medical Treatments: Treatments for cancer, such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy, can cause temporary hair loss.     
Underlying Medical Illnesses: Medical conditions, such as arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and cardiac problems, might increase the likelihood of hair loss.
Medications—Certain medications, such as mood stabilizers, antidepressants, antifungals, acne medications, beta-blockers, cholesterol-lowering pharmaceuticals, thyroid medications, and hormone-containing therapies, can cause excessive hair loss.
Traction Alopecia: This hair loss is caused by tight hairstyles that pull the hair, causing it to split and come free.
Heat Hairstyling or Chemical-based Hair Treatments: Some people often style their hair with hair dryers or straightening equipment. Others may have chemicals used to dye their hair. If they are done frequently or excessively, they can cause hair loss.    
Poor Hair Care Routine—Many people have poor lifestyles and are unwilling to take good care of their hair. They may utilize hair care products that weaken and damage hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
What are the Ways to Treat Hair Fall?
Tumblr media
DermoRita Skin Clinic, an advanced skin and hair clinic, provides innovative, effective, and cutting-edge treatments under expert supervision to properly control hair fall or hair loss difficulties. The doctor recommends the following top hair fall treatments:
PRP Hair Therapy- Platelet plasma, or PRP, is a blood component that is extracted by centrifugation from the patient's blood. It contains natural growth hormones and vital proteins, which are said to help mend bodily tissues. When a PRP solution is created and injected into areas displaying signs of hair loss, it can stimulate hair follicles to generate healthy hair and even assist in protecting the health of existing hair. 
To achieve the best effects with this therapy, a person would need many PRP treatment sessions spaced out over a few weeks, followed by one monthly session to maintain new hair development.
Mesotherapy for Hair- This treatment targets the factors involved in natural hair growth. It involves injecting a combination of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, vital amino acids, botanical extracts, and some hair growth-promoting drugs into the scalp's mesoderm at the hair loss region. Hair mesotherapy can improve blood circulation to the scalp, boost cell metabolism, and stimulate hair growth from existing follicles.
Dermaroller—There is some evidence that hair loss sufferers can benefit from using dermarollers. Dermarollers are medical devices with numerous microneedles on their surfaces. They are rolled over the area of hair loss or loss to produce several skin pricks at once. They promote healthy hair development by boosting the blood supply to the scalp.
Growth Factor Injection: This is a scientifically proven, more advanced treatment for hair loss and the greatest option for PRP hair therapy. The procedure includes injecting natural growth factors and vital proteins into the hair roots to boost healthy growth. These concentrated growth factors are extracted from the patient's blood by centrifugation.  
FUE Hair Transplant—This is a surgical hair restoration treatment best suited for people who suffer from permanent, severe hair loss and seek a permanent solution. In the Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant method, a surgeon harvests individual hair follicles with a micro punch device and places them one by one in micro-slits made in regions of hair thinning or baldness.
