The most common causes of hair loss in women is not related to inherited genes but usually associated with other factors such as pregnancy, stress, chemotherapy, certain diets, thyroid hormone deficiency, some drugs or infections. Unlike men the hair loss in this case is usually temporary and healthy re-growth can occur over time. Unlike men, women rarely go bald but may experience signif ...

Is Your Domain Name On Someone's Wanted List?
A good domain name is, and will always be, essential for any online business. If you ask me, the internet is still only just evolving from infancy. It's a long way to maturity. Still the world has come a long way since Ken Olson, president & founder of Digital Equipment Corp. etched his name in history, when he proclaimed less than 30 years ago, "There's no reason why anyone would want a computer in their home." How technology has changed our lives within a span of a single generation. Sooner rather than later, more and more businesses will want to go online and cater to a globa ...

Psychosocial aspects of genetic testing for hereditary cancers meeting at Jefferson June 9-10
While the discovery and identification of BRCA1 and BRCA2 -- the so-called breast cancer genes -- ushered in a quiet revolution in genetic testing for hereditary cancer in the mid-1990s, the accompanying psychological and social issues have taken on new importance as well. The 9th International Meeting on the Psychosocial Aspects of Genetic Testing for Hereditary Cancer will be held June 9, 2005 to June 10, 2005 at Thomas Jefferson University to address such issues.

The Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics
Arguably the most intractable philosophical question attached to Quantum Mechanics (QM) is that of Measurement. The accepted (a.k.a. Copenhagen) Interpretation of QM says that the very act of sentient measurement determines the outcome of the measurement in the quantum (microcosmic) realm. The wave function (which describes the co-existing, superpositioned, states of the system) "collapses" following an act of measurement.
It seems that just by knowing the results of a measurement we determine its outcome, determine the state of the system and, by implication, the state of the Universe ...

Where Should You Go On The First Date?
One of the most frequently asked questions in the history of dating (with the exception of the caveman who was a firm believer in kidnapping and always took his date to a filthy cave) is where should one go on a first date. For starters, there are several places you shouldn't even think about going on a first date. They are listed below in order of "you'll die alone" rankings. 1) Never go to your parent's house, especially if you still live there, on a first date. It says you're beyond desperate. 2) When you promise someone a good time, it does not mean a luxury chicken box dinn ...

Why Are Antioxidants Important To Me?
Did you know that when we breath oxygen, it interacts with certain molecules in our bodies to create free radicals and that these free radicals damage important cellular structures such as DNA and cell membranes? Well, it is true and this damage may cause cells to function poorly and mutate. Free radical damage may lead to disease and aging. We are exposed to huge amounts of free radicals from pollution, and pesticides. Every time you breathe, you take in millions of free radical molecules created by cigarette smoke, radiation, and automobile emissions. Every time you eat, you consume ...
