Objectives: An optimal method for classifying and Track Male Pattern Hair Loss in Asian Population

Introduction: An ideal classification should be accurate and reliable even when used by different examiners. Unfortunately, the numerous classifications that are currently available are either not accurate or practical or consistently reproducible enough to be used widely. Here we proposed a novel way to improve the reliability of male pattern hair

Materials / method: A total of one hundred and forty patients were classified twice using three different types of classification. Norwood Hamilton, Basic and Specific (BASP), and our Improved Norwood Hamilton. Our improved Norwood Hamilton will have one more category (2V) and density parameter for forelock and vertex area compared to the original. All three classifications will be compared based on its accuracy, concordance and ease of use.

Results: The accuracy of our improved Norwood Hamilton classification is higher compared to original Norwood Hamilton but lower compared to BASP classification
The ease of use of our Improved Norwood Hamilton higher than the original Norwood Hamilton and BASP being least easy to to use.
In terms of concordance, our Improved Norwood Hamilton performed better than the BASP classification.

Conclusion: Our Improved Norwood Hamilton can be the solution that can balance accuracy, concordance and ease of use in the world of MPHL classifications. With Our Improved Norwood Hamilton, we can describe patient’s condition with more details without sacrificing too much concordance and ease of use.

Objectives: Observed the efficacy and safety of long pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser in the treatment of onychomycosis

Introduction: Onychomycosis is an infection caused by various fungi in the nails or under the nails tissue. The clinical feature is that the diseased nail loses its luster, turns gray, yellow,becomes thicker, deforms and brittle. Sometimes the nails are separated from the nail bed.

Materials / method: The patient was treated by the long pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser，Infected nails were treated once a week，a total of 6 times. In addition, Itraconazole is for oral administration.

Results: 2 weeks after laser surgery, the nail improved. After 6 weeks of laser treatment, the white spots on nail decreased by more than 70%. Follow-up for 3-6 months showed without relapses. The effect was satisfactory.

Conclusion: Treament of Onychomycosis with the long pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser has the qualities of quick, an remarkable action and fewer side effect. This method has important clinical application value.
