“…Traction as both a cause of folliculitis and alopecia has been suggested previously. 1,7,8,12,13 Our results, at least in part, differ from the findings of Nnoruka, 9 who has implicated the use of relaxers in the development of CCCA. Whether this difference is due to the populations studied (Nigerians vs Michiganders) remains to be elucidated.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Traction alopecia refers to hair loss as a result of excessive pulling of the hair usually on the margins of the scalp from hairstyles. These pulling forces are thought to cause mechanical damage to hair follicles (Slepyan, 1978).…”

“…Rollins (14) reported casts on the frontal portion of the scalp in three girls who wore their hair in ponytails for one to three years. Wearing a ponytail may produce alopecia due to traction (15). We assume that the braid may be one of the etiologic factors, especially when tightly drawn, that could cause local blood circulation disturbances and inflammation of the scalp.…”
