    Resin-bound systems incorporating 6-10mm dried aggregates and larger sizes are generally used as tree surrounds known as tree pits.

    Non scarring hair loss, also known as noncicatricial alopecia is the loss of hair without any scarring being present.

    Three medications have evidence to support their use in male pattern hair loss: finasteride, dutasteride and minoxidil. [15] They typically work better to prevent further hair loss than to regrow lost hair. [15] They may be used together when hair loss is progressive or further regrowth is desired after 12 months. [16]

[1] The most typical example of this is the loss of ankle hair among people who wear socks constantly for years. [2] The hair may not grow back even years after the source of friction has ended.

  7. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

    Enough resin is used to allow each aggregate particle to adhere to one another and to the base yet leave voids for water to permeate through. Resin bound paving provides a strong and durable surface that is suitable for pedestrian and vehicular traffic in applications such as pathways, driveways, car parks and access roads [citation needed].

The disease may be limited only to the beard, in which case it is called alopecia areata barbae. [22] If the person loses all the hair on the scalp, the disease is then called alopecia ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_alopecia

    Pressure alopecia, also known as postoperative alopecia, and pressure-induced alopecia, [1] occurs in adults after prolonged pressure on the scalp during general anesthesia, with the head fixed in one position, and may also occur in chronically ill persons after prolonged bed rest in one position that causes persistent pressure on one part of the scalp, all likely due to pressure-induced ischemia.
