Product Description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides the best collection available anywhere of official Federal government information and documents on the subject of hair diseases and hair loss, including alopecia and folliculitis. This CD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all files on the disc fully searchable. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.

This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS). Contents include clinical and medical information, with information on signs, symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, and more.

In addition, as a bonus we have included an encyclopedic collection of general medical and health documents – thousands of pages with extensive material from the CDC and NIH on hundreds of diseases and health topics from A to Z, along with FDA drug and medical publications, government consumer healthcare tips, disease prevention programs, dietary guidelines, and travelers’ health information. Since navigating the Internet to find additional non-governmental medical information can be confusing, we've also provided our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites" with updated links to 73 of the best sites for medical information! By using weblinks on the CD-ROM, you can quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government.

This CD-ROM has over 45,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software is included. Advanced search and indexing features are built into our reproduction, providing a complete full-text index. This enables the user to search all the files on the disk at one time for words or phrases using just one search command! The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool for patients and their families, physicians, and other medical professionals. (Information on this CD-ROM is NOT a substitute for professional medical advice; of course, readers are urged to consult with a professional health care provider for any suspected illness.) ...

Beware the Scam
Some very clever IT person has compiled all the Govt Health websites indexes, put them on a CD plus a programme to enable Internet access and called it an authorative Data source. Most of the websites included are not even relevant to the health topic ( in this case Hair Diseases and Hair Loss ). Even if you do find a relevant index, you will still need to search for the information you want, which may or may not be there. I imagine they use the same CD and change the name to " 21st Century Complete Medical Guide to ------- "( insert any disease ). I was also unable to access many of the files on the CD. I suggest you stick to Google searches, far cheaper and far more specific that this CD. ... Read more

From the author: Alopecia areata is a disease which occurs in 1.7% of the population (Safavi et al., 1995), often with devastating effects to patients and their families.
