|  | | | | "I spend half my week practising medicine and the other half writing and talking about it as a GP in Gloucestershire. Working on Case Notes has been a boon for both me and my patients. One of the principal aims of the programme is to keep our listeners up-to-date with the latest developments in healthcare, and to accomplish that I get to interview a wide range of specialists at the cutting edge of medicine. A rare privilege that ensures our listeners aren't the only ones to learn something new."

Baldness
Half of all men will lose their hair before the age of 50 due to male pattern baldness (alopecia androgenetica)– an inherited condition that leads to a receding hairline and an ever enlarging crown!
But it’s not just men who are affected – 1 in 3 women develop some degree of the condition between the ages of 20 and 60, although it tends to cause more generalised thinning, and progress more slowly, than in men.
Hair Loss Remedies
Dr Mark Porter will be finding out which hair loss remedies work and which don’t, as well as exploring other hair related problems from excessive loss in pregnancy and premature greying to how often we should be washing our hair and the secret behind a dandruff-free scalp.
Next Week
Next week's topic is: Sexual Health.
Case Notes – BBC Radio 4 : Tuesday 9 pm and Wednesday 4.30 pm.
