Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2001;44(9):985-995
Dizziness is one of the most frequent symptoms encountered by a physician. Moreover, the term denotes different sensations for different people. It is essential to clarify what the patient means by asking for examples. There are several common subgroups of dizziness ; vertigo, multisensory dizziness, presyncopal lightheadedness, psychophysiological dizziness, etc. There are many causes of dizziness ; labyrinthine disorders including benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, eight cranial nerve disorders including vestibuloneuronitis, brainstem stroke, cerebellar and temporal lesions. The new diagnostic tools-rotating chair test, videooculography, computerized dynamic posturography have been introduced in assessing the dizziness. Systemic approach is essential for diagnosis of dizziness.

BACKGROUND: The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone(DHT), the androgen responsible for androgen- etic alopecia in genetically predisposed men. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of finaster- ide treatment according to the type of androgenetic alopecia in Korea. METHODS: 196 patients with finasteride(1.25mg/day) were registered in this study and 68 patients were followed over 8 months. Efficacy was evaluated by globa1 photographs, investigator assessment of clinical change,and patients' self assessment via self administered hair growth questionnaire. RESULTS: Patients' self-assessment demonstrated that finasteride treatment slowed hair loss, increased hair growth, and improved appearance of hair. These improvements were corroborated by objective assessments after 4 months of treatment. Adverse effects such as sexual dysfunction were minimal. CONCLUSION: Oral finasteride 1.25mg/day slowed the progression of hair loss and increased hair growth in clinical tria1s of men with androgenetic alopecia over 8 months. With its generally good tolerability profile, finasteride is a new approach to the management of this condition, for which treatment options are few.
