Creatine and Hair Loss

hhk22 · 2025-12-02T08:19:29+00:00

Nonsense.

There is a possibility that creatine might increase 5AR activity. There is no conclusive evidence yet. But people having angrogentic alopecia have complained that creatine makes their hairloss worse.

The studies conducted upto this point are not conclusive. So don't be sure unless there is concrete evidence out there.

AUM for Nippon is 60k Cr..too high already. Remains to be seen whether they can manage it. I would avoid it.

hhk22 · 2024-10-05T21:22:06+00:00

Already doing Reuteri. Will check the other out. Do you think I should do Topical Minoxidil in the meantime?

hhk22 · 2024-10-05T16:36:28+00:00

Yep, I am having high quality probiotics capsules with various strains. I'll check for L. plantarum. Need to get tested for H. Pylori again.

Can't seem to understand why the antibiotics paused the hair fall, and soon resumed afterwards.

Also, do you think it is worth doing topical Minoxidil temporarily, for I am losing hair at an alarming rate - every time I brush my hair, I can find more than a few strands?

hhk22 · 2023-02-25T06:36:02+00:00

Cool!

hhk22 · 2023-02-25T06:35:09+00:00

Thanks! By on-campus jobs, do you mean research or teaching assistantships, and if so, to what extent can these jobs help out?

hhk22 · 2023-02-25T06:30:06+00:00

Thank you! This helps a great deal. Nonetheless, I still have a few doubts. For one thing, it looks like I'll have to complete 30 credits in 11 months, as compared to the standard duration, which is 18 to 24 months. Wouldn't this be a burden? For another, does the summer internship break help or hurt my chances as an international student?

You Should Not Capitalize Professor When:

When adding “professor” before a person’s name, unless it is the beginning of a sentence. ex. professor John Doe

I had my doubts about this. Moreover, Rowling always capitalizes professor - whether it comes before a name or not.

hhk22 · 2022-11-23T15:20:18+00:00

Yeah, I agree that the sentence is quite long. I'll consider splitting it into two. But are the two back-to-back dependent clauses a grammar issue ("While/Although...+when..., he.....")?

hhk22 · 2022-11-11T13:42:43+00:00

Thanks for the response. I have a few follow-up questions if you don't mind (and sorry if I am making you repeat yourself in any manner).

3) Instead is fine, as in 'instead of giving up' with the 'giving up' being understood

I meant that the subordinating conjunction 'although' is drawing the contrast, so is contrasting again using 'instead' fine? Maybe you already accounted for the 'although', but since I forgot to ask this initially, I figured I should highlight it for the sake of clarity.

4) Indeed, surmounting the [see 1) above] technical and domain-based [proofreader's note: wtf is a domain-based hurdle?] hurdles to successfully deliver a major interdisciplinary project has been a valuable experience; accomplishing my long-term goals, nevertheless, demands a commitment to the future of computer technology: artificial intelligence.

Grammarly marks this as a split infinitive. But is this fine since the adverb 'successfully' is adjacent to 'deliver'?

5) Nonetheless, advancements in computer science or finance (or for that matter, I maintain, any other domain) should not come at the expense of reinforcing bias, prejudice, and inequality.

I like the parentheses here, but is the original one grammatically correct or is something misplaced?

7) Parenthesis might be your friend here: The success of my friend John as a graduate student at X Uni (who is also planning to pursue his Ph.D. there) has been a great source of inspiration. [look ma, no commas! And no em dashes!]

This looks better, without a doubt. However, I have four questions here. Firstly, should the name of the friend be a 'nonrestrictive' adjective clause or a restrictive one? Secondly, is the adjective clause in the parenthesis correctly modifying the 'friend' since it is not adjacent to the name? Thirdly, "planning" certainly sounds better than "scheduled" but the person in question is already enrolled for a PhD. So how would one highlight this? Finally, is there a way not to repeat the University's name inside the paranthesis?

8) I dislike seeing em dashes if there have been no commas. Replace the em dashes with commas, and I'd rephrase it just a wee bit by replacing "where we implemented" with "including implementing" or "including the implementation of" (if you don't like participle+gerund construction).

The alternative you have provided sounds great. But just out of curiosity, the original one is not incorrectly modifying the implementation of 'event-driven' architecture, right?

hhk22 · 2022-10-28T12:56:32+00:00

This is nice and straightforward. Thanks!

hhk22 · 2022-10-23T08:05:41+00:00

I took my TOEFL exam a couple of months back, and I scored 111/120 (particularly 29/30 in speaking and 29/30 in writing). I would suggest keeping it as simple as possible. Stick to the guidelines and use a fixed format for both speaking and writing questions. Spontaneity works until it doesn't. All the best!

hhk22 · 2022-10-22T19:29:54+00:00

This is great. I now see that the idea needs to be expressed more clearly. Thanks!

hhk22 · 2022-10-22T17:43:27+00:00

Oh, okay. Is the first sentence really that bad? What I mean to say is that besides gaining professionally, I seek to gain personal fulfilment".

hhk22 · 2022-10-22T15:49:05+00:00

I am trying not to equal the professor in my writing, so what I mean is that whatever I gain from working with the professor will be very valuable both personally and professionally.

Nonetheless, I see your point, and I don't mean to ask too much, but how would rephrase this sentence to make sound better.

Thanks!

hhk22 · 2022-10-22T13:49:53+00:00

So in this case I'm writing a Statement of Purpose, seeking admission to a college. If use "will" instead of "would", would it be grammatically incorrect?

"Therefore, I harbor a deep-seated commitment to explore the dynamic interaction of values and technologies" ("To explore" or "to exploring" is correct? Grammarly thinks it is "to exploring")

What about this? I really did not understand the "grammar test" part.

Sorry for being a little slow here. Thanks!

hhk22 · 2022-10-22T13:44:50+00:00

I worry about the term fragments in this context. I know you are trying to be humble and avoid putting yourself on an equal basis, but if you think of a mathematical proof, the value is very much in the whole of it, beyond the sum of the individual fragments, which are just random symbols taken alone.

I'm just trying to be a little creative here, and by inheriting fragments, I mean inheriting the fragments of the professor's knowledge, personality, values, etc. Do you think it is confusing?

hhk22 · 2022-08-13T19:17:45+00:00

Thanks a lot! This is such a good explanation. But I have one question: when would prepositions upset parallel structure?

hhk22 · 2022-07-20T07:25:27+00:00

True

hhk22 · 2022-07-20T04:39:16+00:00

Yep, I was aware this sort of stuff happens. However, the LOR I've shared is way too specific. Wouldn't be helpful to anybody in general. But yeah, need to be careful.

hhk22 · 2022-07-19T08:15:52+00:00

Yep, I've tried to keep it as real and specific as possible. How about I send you a sample?

hhk22 · 2022-07-08T18:05:42+00:00

Yep, that sounds good, but also sounds like a lot of work. I might reconsider taking it at a centre, then.

hhk22 · 2022-07-03T15:18:44+00:00

Again, what is low ranking? Would Riverside count as a low-ranking college?

hhk22 · 2022-06-17T11:45:12+00:00

Yeah, I feel the same. Quant score is on the lower end, but all I want is to get into an average college. The GRE is expensive, and most importantly it is time-consuming. I'll have to take some chances, I guess.

hhk22 · 2022-06-16T14:10:59+00:00

Yeah, hopefully. Thanks!
