Examples of Using TELOGEN in a Sentence

• Common types include male- or female-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and a thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium.
• The process of hair growth occurs in distinct sequential stages: anagen is the active growth phase, catagen is the regression of the hair follicle phase, telogen is the resting stage, exogen is the active shedding of hair phase and kenogen is the phase between the empty hair follicle and the growth of new hair.
• Telogen effluvium is a scalp disorder characterized by the thinning or shedding of hair resulting from the early entry of hair in the telogen phase (the resting phase of the hair follicle).
• Androgenic hair follows the same growth pattern as the hair that grows on the scalp, but with a shorter anagen phase and longer telogen phase.
• The anagen lasts between 2 and 7 years, for some individuals even longer, and is followed by shorter catagen (transition) and telogen (resting) periods.
• In addition to UHS, these disorders include alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, cicatricial alopecia, female and male pattern hair loss, trichotillomania, and hair shaft defects.
• Hair is actively pigmented in the anagen phase and is "turned off" during the catagen phase, and absent during telogen.
• Others include: frontal fibrosing alopecia, ulerythema ophryogenes, acne rosacea, telogen effluvium, follicular mucinosis, and cutaneous sarcoidosis.
• In anagen effluvium, histopathologic evaluation of a punch biopsy of the scalp will exhibit a normal anagen-to-telogen ratio, which is less than 15% telogen hair follicles.
• Loose Anagen Syndrome can commonly be misdiagnosed for other skin and hair disorders such as short anagen syndrome, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, trichotillomania and toxic ingestion.
• The synthesis of fluorotelomer alcohols requires a varying number of tetrafluoroethylene monomers that form an oligomer with a pentafluoroethyl iodide telogen.
• A positive pull test is usually caused by telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, and alopecia areata.
• In 2011 Shigeki Inui published a trichoscopy algorithm, which allows differential diagnosis of most common hair and scalp diseases (including alopecia areata, androgenic alopecia, telogen effluvium and cicatricial alopecia) based on trichoscopy.
• Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen.
• When separating it from loose anagen syndrome or telogen effluvium, the hair pull test is frequently normal.
