Mesothelioma

2009-02-26T10:09:00.000-08:00

Mesothelioma is a dreaded cancer that is nearly always caused by just one factor: asbestos exposure. It's an unfortunate truth that millions of Americans and people all over the world have been poisoned by toxic levels of asbestos, putting them at risk for mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, and other deadly diseases that are directly caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers.
Before the grave dangers of asbestos were known, and even for years after the dangers were known, asbestos was used in literally thousands of asbestos products that humans and animals encounter every day — particularly in building components such as ceiling and floor tiles, walls, bricks and stucco, and in automotive parts such as brakes and clutches.

People who worked in the asbestos industry or in fields in which asbestos is used as a component of a product are most at risk for mesothelioma. Many individuals who have mesothelioma labored for years or even decades in jobs that required frequent contact with asbestos. When this mineral is mined, processed, woven, sprayed or otherwise manipulated, its microscopic fibers can be released into the air, where they may be inhaled, initiating the development of mesothelioma.

Why Vegetarian Nutrition Stands Out

2009-02-20T06:51:00.000-08:00

A vegetarian diet is considered to be the best among all types of diets. Many studies can prove this claim. A Columbia University study has shown that the human body’s structure is actually not suited for animal meat consumption. It was found that the small and large intestines of carnivores are both short. Humans, however, have small and large intestines that are long.

When humans consume meat, especially in huge proportions, it stays in the intestines for longer periods, which can decay and lead to the formation of toxins. These toxins have been found to be trigger diseases such as colon and rectal cancer, liver and kidney problems and many others. Excessive consumption of meat can also increase saturated fat and cholesterol counts that can slow down the body’s metabolic functions, thus leading to cardiovascular problems.

Even when you think the meat has been inspected for cleanliness and safety, you can still never tell whether it is really free from disease carriers. Moreover, the presence of antibiotics, hormones and other drugs in animal produce can pose a serious threat to human health as well.

With a vegetarian diet, you may not have to worry about these possible health risks. Plant food is a direct source of more nutrients compared to animal food. Especially when vegetarian diets are well planned, you can be sure that you will be getting proper nutrition that you need, which is necessary for good health.

Too often, it has become a common misconception that nutrition from meat consumption is better than vegetarian nutrition, which may not always be the case. In fact, a study in Yale University showed that vegetarians have more endurance than those who eat meat. Vegetarians can still get adequate amounts of protein by increasing intake of wheat, whole grains and vegetables without ever resorting to meat.

Moreover, the nutrition that a vegetarian diet provides can give you a leaner physique, a healthier body, a sharper focus, which in totality can lead to a better quality of life. In fact, vegetarians are known to live longer lives than meat eaters. Of course, while modern science may have already introduced approaches to prolonging life, perhaps nothing can top up with the health benefits that a vegetarian diet can give.

Above all else, your health should be your topmost priority. Without it, you may never live your life at its best. Now that you know what vegetarian nutrition can give you and why it is the best option for your health, all you need to do is to make the switch

mesothelioma prognosis

2009-01-23T10:17:00.000-08:00

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body's internal organs. With rare exceptions, most mesothelioma cancers are considered malignant mesothelioma. The two major types of malignant mesothelioma are pleural mesothelioma, which concerns the mesothelium membrane that surrounds the lungs, and peritoneal mesothelioma which concerns the mesothelium layer that covers the organs in the abdominal cavity. The prognosis, therapy (including types of chemotherapy) and treatment choices are similar whether the cancer is pleural mesothelioma or peritoneal mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma Treatments and Therapies

Standard treatment for all but localized mesothelioma is generally not curative.1 Surgery and radiotherapy have a limited role in highly selected mesothelioma patients and chemotherapy is the only potential treatment option for the majority of people diagnosed with mesothelioma. Sometimes, these mesothelioma therapies are combined. Despite activity of some chemotherapy, the results are still modest, with a median survival of approximately one year. For individual patients, treatment for mesothelioma depends on the location of the cancer, the stage of the disease, and the patient's age and general health. The only FDA approved chemotherapy for malignant pleural mesothelioma (in combination with cisplatin) is pemetrexed (Alimta). In the key clinical trial that led to its approval for mesothelioma, Alimta was combined with another chemotherapy drug (cisplatin) and compared with cisplatin alone. The median survival for the patients who received both chemotherapy drugs was 12.1 months versus 9.3 months for mesothelioma patients who only received cisplatin.2

Mesothelioma Prognosis and Survival

In general the prognosis of mesothelioma is poor and most studies report median survival of less than a year. However, there are long term mesothelioma survivors (both pleural and peritoneal survivors) who have survived more than 10 years. In fact, in one mesothelioma study, doctors writing about the prognosis of mesothelioma explained that long-term mesothelioma survivors do exist and their prognosis may be independent of the treatment or therapies pursued.3 If this is true, it would suggest that mesothelioma prognosis and survival may be more dependent on individual differences among patients (and perhaps the non-conventional therapies they use) and less dependent upon conventional mesothelioma treatments.

Symptoms of Mesothelioma

Shortness of breath and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleura are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and abdominal pain and swelling due to a buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma may include bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, and fever. If the cancer has spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, symptoms of mesothelioma may include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.

Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Diagnosing mesothelioma is often difficult, because the symptoms are similar to those of a number of other conditions. Diagnosis begins with a review of the patient's medical history and a complete physical examination may be performed, including x-rays of the chest or abdomen and lung function tests. A CT (or CAT) scan or an MRI may also be useful. A biopsy is often used to confirm a diagnosis of mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is described as localized if the cancer is found only on the membrane surface where it originated. It is classified as advanced if the mesothelioma has spread beyond the original membrane surface to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, lungs, chest wall, or abdominal organs.

Incidence & Risk Factors

Over 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year. Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with age, but this disease can appear in either men or women at any age. Working with asbestos is the major risk factor for mesothelioma. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in the majority of cases. However, mesothelioma has been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos and Mesothelioma

Asbestos is the name of a group of minerals that occur naturally as masses of strong, flexible fibers that can be separated into thin threads and woven. Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products, including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. If tiny asbestos particles float in the air, especially during the manufacturing process, they may be inhaled or swallowed, and can cause serious health problems. In addition to mesothelioma, exposure to asbestos increases the risk of lung cancer, asbestosis (a noncancerous, chronic lung ailment), and other cancers, such as those of the larynx and kidney. There is evidence that family members and others living with people exposed to asbestos have an increased risk of developing mesothelioma, and possibly other asbestos-related diseases. This risk may be the result of exposure to asbestos dust brought home on the clothing and hair of asbestos workers.

New Directions for Treating Mesothelioma

Because conventional therapies are not curative for the overwhelming majority of mesothelioma patients, researchers are investigating new types of mesothelioma treatments and therapies. One approach that may yield promising results is anti-angiogenesis. Anti-angiogenesis is a form of therapy that uses drugs or other substances to stop tumors from making new blood vessels. Without a blood supply, the cancers cannot grow effectively. Today, there are several hundred clinical trials of anti-angiogenesis drugs under way. For example, Veglin is an anti-angiogenesis drug undergoing clinical trials at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. Under the supervision of Parkash S. Gill, M.D. and financed by grants from the Mesothelioma Research Foundation of America, a Phase I study of Veglin has demonstrated some success in patients suffering from lymphoma, sarcoma, and colon and lung cancers. Phase II studies are on-going with the hope they will demonstrate continued clinical efficacy in mesothelioma and other cancers.

Body Image Versus The Media

2009-01-11T03:05:00.000-08:00

No matter what shape, size or height you are there always seems to be a multitude of ways to "improve", "fix" or "change" your image.

The media bombards us with the latest diet trends, detox techniques and exercise regimes. It is very common to see pictures of a celebrity on the beach looking toned, tanned and happy with a caption next to it implying you too could be like that if you follow their simple food rules. It is continuously portrayed that if you have the "perfect" body you must have the "perfect" life.

The problem is, who decides what is considered "perfect"?.......

The same celebrity photographed on the beach one week, could be the same celebrity that was captured looking too thin or too fat previously, surrounded by cruel comments. It seems the acceptable way to look falls between extremely narrow boundaries.

The message that size 0 or size 00 is wrong has been rife for months, yet if someone's size increases from an 8 to a 10 they are called fat. Should we follow our favourite celebrities and make ourselves worryingly thin, or should we stay a bit bigger and face the risk of being criticised for being overweight, if just slightly?

The term "plus size" is one i detest due to it's highly negative connotations. It implies that people who are "plus size" should be ashamed that they are wearing larger sizes. This is completely ridiculous when considering "plus sized" applies to anyone who wears a UK size 14 and above. When considering the average size of ladies in England are a 16, people should not be made to feel bad.

It is, of course, important to eat well, stay healthy and exercise. However, many people also have different sized frames and so even if they had a skeletal frame would not be able to fit into a size 8. It can be very insulting when a celebrity is shown "at their fattest" accompanied by an insulting article, only to find out they have reached a clearly massive, size 12.

Many of the images used in the media portraying female beauty are simply unattainable for the majority. Many of the images have been altered and show backs which would be too weak to support the upper body and a body too narrow to contain more than half a liver and literally a couple of centimetres of intestine. In reality, if a lady had these dimensions she would suffer from chronic diarrhoea and malnutrition. Therefore, the images we often see, portray a false perception of reality. Beauty should not be judged, especially against material that does not represent real life.

It seems the media have gone mad when it comes to body image and so what are the possible repurcussions of such an image conscious society.

Eating disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia have been around for many years, however, with the ever increasing message that thin is in, is there any wonder as to why this problem is not going away. Fasting, skipping meals. excessive exercise, laxative abuse and self induced vomiting are all attempts to stay thin. Men and women are both affected by these issues, as are children as young as seven.

Pro-anorexia web sites have appeared on the internet. People spur each other on to eat less and help each other to become as thin as possible. These sights are clear evidence that people look up to thin celebrities, with Victoria Beckham being used for "thinspiration" on many occasions. Surely, it is therefore increasingly important to place more emphasis on positive body images rather than negative ones.

Amongst all the crazy media hype of what size we should all be there has been an increasing attempt to tell people they are beautiful no matter what size they are. Gok Wan as well as Trinny and Susannah, attempt to give the nation body confidence, telling them they do not need to always "correct" themselves, change or aspire to be like someone else. Instead they should feel good in their own skin. Dove's campaign for natural beauty is also a very positive step in the direction of helping people accept who they are. Things have even started to change in the modelling world with Milan banning size 0 models from the catwalk.

So, we can only hope that people will try not to aspire to be something that is more often than not unattainable. Many celebrities that are super toned have home gyms and time to work out. For the average Joe, juggling work and family life leaves very little time to focus solely on yourself. Furthermore, many of the images you see in magazines have been altered presenting a false image of beauty. Hopefully one day people will learn to love themselves regardless of their size.

Easy Craft Projects for Boys

2008-12-28T02:08:00.000-08:00

Girls seem to be naturally attracted to arts and crafts, but boys are sometimes a different matter. If you're running a summer camp, holding a crafts party or just want to get your sons involved in a neat project, you may be scratching your head when it comes to craft ideas. Fortunately, there are several categories of crafts that attract boys of all ages.

Nature Crafts
Nature crafts are a good choice for boys. This allows them to go out into the wilderness and gather the materials
A great nature craft idea is "Forest Friends." These crafts are easy to make and will allow the boys to work off some of that excess energy. Take them to the park and ask them to gather leaves, twigs and pinecones.

When you return back home from the park, let the boys decorate their finds with googly eyes and puff balls. Use Gorilla Glue or another multi-purpose glue that will adhere to the natural surfaces. Make faces on the leaves and pinecones, and then attach the twigs for bodies. You can make limbs from construction paper and the boys will have nature-inspired puppets to play with for the rest of the day.

Character Crafts
Boys like creating crafts that help them pretend they are their favorite heroes and characters. Pirates are very popular these days, so any pirate-related crafts will be well received. You can provide the supplies to make a construction paper or sewn felt eye patches, depending on the age of the boys.

Every pirate needs a parrot, so there's another simple craft idea. Use old toilet paper tubes, feathers and markers so each boy can have a personal parrot sidekick. Boys will also enjoy making treasure chests from old shoeboxes and treasure maps to find their loot from paper bags and markers.

Science Crafts.
If you have an older group of boys to entertain with crafts, don't underestimate the power of science-themed crafts. These crafts are part science experiment, part craft. One example of a science themed craft is invisible writing. For this craft, you'll need a laxative tablet, one tablespoon of rubbing alcohol, cotton balls and ammonia.

Crush the tablet into a container and then add the alcohol. Have the boys use paintbrushes to create their secret messages. As the ink dries, it will disappear. To see the message, simple have them rub the pieces of paper with cotton balls soaked in ammonia. It's not the most pleasant smelling craft, but it sure is a lot of fun!

As long as you keep boys active and engaged, they'll have as much fun with crafts as girls do. Although they aren't patient enough for beaded lanyards, they have activities and interests that can engage them just as much. So before you assume that boys and crafts just don't mix, try some of these ideas.

The Star System Of Hollywood Movies

2008-12-27T01:18:00.000-08:00

The method of creating and promoting film stars in Hollywood movies is known as the star system. Different studios would select talented actors and create roles for them, often inventing new names and even new backgrounds. Stars that went through this star system in Hollywood movies are Cary Grant, Joan Crawford and Rock Hudson. Star system of Hollywood movies puts an emphasis on the image rather than on real acting talents. However, acting, voice, and dancing form a part of the criteria.

There are rules and restrictions that these new budding actors have to follow. For instance, they are not allowed to leave the house without putting any makeup and wearing stylish clothes when it comes to female actors. On the other hand, the male actors are expected to be seen in public as gentlemen. The star system of Hollywood movies had a morality clause as well.

Just as the executives, public relations staffs, and the agents worked together with the actor to create a star character, so also they would work together to cover up the incidents or lifestyles which would prove disrespectful and that can damage or spoil the image of the actor in the eye of the public.

In the star system of Hollywood movies, performers are not identified in films due to two main reasons. One is that the stage performers were embarrassed to be seen in films. Initially, they were featured in silent films and it was considered pantomime, which is the art of conveying emotions, actions, and feelings, by gestures without speech. As one of the main skills of actors was their voice, they were afraid that appearing in films would ruin their reputation.

The other reason for the performers not being identified in films was because producers feared that actors would gain more prestige and power and the stars might demand more money. There were many incidents that have caused the star system of Hollywood movies to come into existence. Some of the main reasons can be traced out from the following incidents.

Thomas Edison and the Motion Picture Patents Company (in short the MPPC) forced the filmmakers to use their equipment and follow their rules, since they owned most of the patents of the motion picture equipment. And it is said that the MPPC did promote some actors during that time.

There was a change in the star system of Hollywood movies, and the main reason was that the public desired to know the real names of the actors. Film audiences constantly recognized a number of performers in movies that they liked. As the names of these stars was not disclosed, the audience would give them nicknames such as the Biograph Girl, Florence Lawrence, and the like.

The MPPC was gaining control over the movie industry until Carl Laemmle promoted the first film star. He was independent of the MPPC and used star promotion to fight the MPPC gaining control over the film industry. He got hold of Lawrence from Biograph and spread a rumor that she was killed in a car accident but then later combated this rumor and said she was doing fine and would be starring in the up-coming film produced by him.

Another reason that led to the establishment of the star system in Hollywood movies was the development of the film magazines that gave fans knowledge about the actors. This included the lifestyles of the actors outside their film roles. Some of the popular magazines of the time were the Motion Picture Story Magazine and Photoplay. They focused on stories of movies but later they began to focus more on the actors as it was advantageous economically. These are some of the main reasons for the introduction of

Lupus

2008-12-16T22:21:00.000-08:00

Lupus is a chronic "autoimmune" disease in which the immune system, for unknown reasons, becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissue, resulting in inflammation and symptoms. Lupus strikes nine women to every man, and can be very difficult to diagnose.

There are three forms of lupus. The first is cutaneous lupus, which only affects the skin. The symptoms include skin rashes, photosensitivity (where exposure to light triggers a rash), and sometimes ulcers on the inside of the nose or mouth.

Treatment of cutaneous lupus includes corticosteroid creams or ointments applied to the rash or infections into the lesions. Oral corticosteroid or antimalarial medications may also be prescribed, and sunscreen is important as well.

In addition to cutaneous lupus, there is systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which attacks multiple systems in the body, which can include the skin, joints, lungs, blood, blood vessels, nervous system and organs. Systematic lupus is much more difficult to diagnose, largely because it affects so many different parts of the body and because it develops slowly over time. Symptoms can include fatigue, achy or swollen joints, rashes, fever, hair loss, sores in the mouth or nose, and other conditions. These symptoms usually come and go in "flares". SLE also mimics many other diseases and conditions, and there is no single diagnostic test for it.

Physicians do use a list of 11 criteria to assist in the diagnosis of SLE. These include past medical history, laboratory tests, and current symptoms. The anti-nuclear antibody test (ANA) is used as a screening test, since 95% of people with SLE have a positive ANA. A positive ANA, however, does not prove someone has SLE, since it is also seen in a number of other illnesses and conditions. The ANA is only an indicator that points in several possible directions.

The final form of lupus is drug-induced lupus (DIL). DIL may develop after taking certain prescription medications but disappears when the drugs are discontinued. So far five medications have been shown to be associated: procqainamide and quinidine (for heart rhythm abnormalities), hydralazine (for high blood pressure) , isoniazid (for tuberculosis), and phenytoin (for seizures). Months or years of frequent medication exposure, however, are necessary to produce DIL.

Most of the symptoms of lupus are due to inflammation, therefore, treatment is aimed at reducing the inflammation. Four families of medications are used for this purpose: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen: corticosteroids, such as prednidone, cortisone and medrol; antimalarials, which help the joint pain, skin rashes and ulcers (there is no relationship between lupus and malaria); and immunosuppressants and chemotherapy, generally reserved for persons with severe flares that affect organ function.

How to Make Your Kid Smart

2008-12-15T10:35:00.000-08:00

Most of us are held in awe once we meet children who can be as smart as a person who is a lot older than them. We often call these children as gifted, because they are endowed with the knowledge that can be acquired by someone who is way past their years. Little does everyone know, there are ways in which parents can develop the mental or intellectual capacities of their children
We all know that we have the capacity to store information and process them in order for us to use this knowledge for a greater purpose. Charles Darwin stipulated in his theory of natural selections that animals, most especially human beings, constantly think of ways on how to outwit and outrun their predators so that they can survive. This theory, which is also known as ‘Survival of the Fittest,’ has existed for quite sometime, and it only proves to show that humans can be intelligent as they wish to be. We are all equipped with faculties which will enable us to think freely on our own, whether it comes to decision making or intellectual pursuits.

Charles Darwin’s hypothesis is a clear explanation of the heights that the human brain can reach. All parents need to do is to figure out how to harness one’s intellectual development so as the child will perform in his full potential. Starting from the conception of the child, the mother must be fully aware of her diet. Whatever the mother eats becomes quite reflective of the future potentials of the child. It helps if the mother would take in vitamins and minerals to support the child’s intellectual development.

The next thing to pay attention to is giving enough focus on child education. Some people may think that education during the early years is not that important, because a child’s parents instead can teach the children some basic fundamental skills that they need to develop. There’s nothing wrong with this as long, but however, it is advised that they should bring their child to a school specializing in early education so that he will have a good intellectual and social development. The teachers who specialize in early childhood education know what to include in their curriculum so that the intellectual development of the child well be boost up to its maximum capacity. School also gives a chance for your children to mingle with others, so that he would not be left out whenever there are some activities.

Another point is to have a home learning environment. You can help out in this by buying educational toys which your child may play with. There is a variety of toys which are concentrated on different subjects. Not only will the child learn, but they would also have fun while doing the activities.

These are just some of the ways on how to improve the intellectual development of a child. Bear in mind that there are still a lot of ways, but following these crucial steps is certainly worth the try.

Women in Lipstick

2008-12-15T10:30:00.000-08:00

Recently, I figured out that if I applied lipstick that my face would grow to two times its regular size. If I wiped off the lipstick, I could get my head back almost into its regular shape. I didn't have a lot of time to figure out what was in lipstick but I put it down to fragrance and some of the others on the ingredient list
One day I was so tired of not wearing lipstick that I went to a drugstore to find out. I took my small daughter. Within a couple of minutes of being in the make-up aisle, my daughter started to have her head grow to twice its regular size and she didn't even have lipstick on. I went over to the counter and asked the girl, what was in lipstick and make-up to make both myself and my daughter have allergic reactions? I was still at that point considering that maybe a certain brand wouldn't have whatever the ingredient was in it.

She smiled at me, started to show me the book of ingredients that nobody can truly read without a dictionary and then she looked from me to my daughter and finally said, "The shimmer in lipstick is from ground up fish and shellfish. It doesn't come out and say that on the lipstick ingredients."

I nearly fainted. I couldn't believe that something that people have as an anaphalaxis type allergy is not marked on all of the make-up.

Still, I perservered. "What kind doesn't have it in it?" I asked, assuming that one of the thirty brands would give me a break.

"None of them," she assured me. "It's not marked down anyway. There's a big word for it."

"What about lip gloss?" I asked.

"No," she said. "Whale blubber. Sorry. Allergy medicine is in aisle five."

So, off we went to go get some medicine and some fresh air. This news sent me realing. Why isn't this in the media? Why doesn't anyone know about what is in lipstick and lots of other kinds of make-up? I realized too that potentially all kinds of men and owmen do not know about the risks involved in simply freshening up their lips. I mention men because of the kissability factor.

I went onto talk to friends and relatives. Did you know...? Nobody did. I only recently met someone who had an inkling of what I was talking about. Her dad worked in a lipstick factory all of his working career.

Unless a make-up line specifically says that it does not have animal byproducts in it, then the shimmer is most likely caused by ground up fish and seafood. Not that they're apparently aiming to include the seafood but much like the tuna caught in a big net with other creatures of the sea, same problem.

For those of you who have allergies, seek out cosmetic companies such as Mary Kaye who do have that guarantee. There are several other lines that will promise this no animal byproducts such as Body Shop. Remember that while you may not have this allergy yourself, your child could have this allergy, your husband, boyfriend or your co-workers

Listen to Your Inner Voice

2008-12-15T10:18:00.000-08:00

Long ago, a wood carver named Matsugoro found himself gazing at The Tall One. Standing proud and almighty, this tree cast the longest shadow in the village. Because of its indomitable presence throughout hundreds of years, it became the hub of this village. With a sigh, he stared at it every day while carting his wares to sell on the streets.

As a child, Matsugoro used to climb every tree that he set his eyes on - all but The Tall One. He felt free and fearless. He was so daring that he was called the Monkey Boy. He didn't just think about doing things, he did them. When he reached the top of each tree, he yelled in a clear and loud voice allowing his spirit to soar.

Years passed. Adulthood took over and Matsugoro soon found that being so uninhibited was frowned upon by his fellow villagers. Family life and hard work were the expected routine. His own work absorbed most of the time and away he toiled. He turned serious and quiet. His dreams faded and he no longer felt like the Monkey Boy<>
