Animal research has undergone many updates and transformations of the years, and certainly within the past few decades. Even up until the 1980s many leading cosmetic giants were insisting that animal testing was necessary in order to prove that their products were safe for human use.

Many organizations came out of nowhere to help protect animals that were, in their eyes, being mutilated and killed needlessly in the name of beauty. These organizations quickly came to the defense of these animals and made certain that the general public was well aware of what was happening at these cosmetic companies by releasing photos of tiny helpless bunny rabbits that were blinded or even worse, for no good reason. Cosmetic companies were forced to find alternative means to test their products and now, all cosmetic companies carry disclaimers on their labeling to alert consumers to the fact that they do not engage in animal research.

Even up until the 1970s, companies involved in animal research were heavily involved in a practice called vivisection where animals were tested and forced to undergo painful procedures without anesthesia.  Read more...

Asbestos is a naturally occurring compound that is highly useful. It has been used extensively in industries for many purposes. Cement manufacturing units and ship building companies have been using it on a large scale. The use of asbestos increased since 1940s and many people were engaged in its extraction, processing and related activities. But the link between mesothelioma and asbestos was not found out till 1960s. Hence no precautionary measures were taken by the company owners and no restrictions were imposed by the government to protect the workers from inhaling or ingesting the harmful fibers floating in the air.

The health of the workers was in peril since they were inhaling asbestos particles. Not only that the family members were also infected through the dangerous particles carried home through their dress or hair. This happened since the workers went back home without a shower or changing of cloths. As soon as the connection between mesothelioma and asbestos was established, restrictions were put forth by the governments regarding the use of asbestos. Some countries even banned the use of the product. But it was too late since many were already infected as there exited no precautionary measures earlier.  Read more...

Asbestos can exist in a variety of forms in a building; cement, coatings, floor tiles, insulating, lagging and loose. Many buildings build before 1999 will contain at least one form of asbestos as it was often too expensive or too difficult to extract.

Asbestos filled cement can often be found in the form of guttering, wall cladding and roofing. It is most commonly used for corrugated cement roofing which can be found on old farm buildings, warehouses and on some private sheds and garages.

Textured and sprayed asbestos was used to cover many internal walls and ceilings in lofts and often living spaces but while the textured coating is generally considered quite safe the sprayed coating is very unstable and can release large quantities of toxins into the air if disturbed.

Asbestos tiles were commonly used in insulating floor surfaces underneath carpet or laminate flooring. Sometimes similar density asbestos was used in fireproof blankets and even oven mitts. Although not as dangerous as other forms of asbestos it is still advised to use caution and consult guidelines before working with it.  Read more...

When many people consider treatment for lung cancer, they initially think of surgery. While a wedge resection, partial or full lobectomy, or pneumonectomy may be necessary, there are other approaches that can be taken to help eliminate cancerous cells. They include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and various targeted therapies. In many cases, doctors will suggest a multi-pronged approach that combines surgical and non-surgical forms of treatment.

Below, we’ll focus primarily on non-surgical paths toward removing lung cancer. We’ll describe when each approach is used, how it is administered, and how it works to help eliminate cancerous cells.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is administered (usually intravenously or orally) when lung cancer has spread to other sites throughout your body. It is considered a systemic approach because it kills diseased cells wherever they exist. Doctors will also rely upon chemotherapy to help reduce the size of a tumor prior to surgically removing it. By itself, chemotherapy seldom functions as a solution. Instead, it is used in conjunction with surgery or to prolong the life of a patient with late stage, incurable lung cancer.

Benign mesothelioma is a non-cancerous tumor occurring in the pleura, which is the lining of the lung and chest cavities. As mesothelioma lies dormant for many years before the first symptom arrives, benign varieties of this ailment are very rare. The tumor, which occurs due to asbestos particles getting settled in the mesothelium, can cause extreme pain. This non-malignant tumor occurs locally and if allowed to grow to excessive size, can compress the lung resulting in shortness of breath.

Benign mesothelioma can be cured through surgery, if the growth is only local. During the surgery, the pleural fluid may leak into the cavity around the lung. This possible complicated situation is called pleural effusion. However, the situation is not life threatening since the fluid can easily be drained. Occurrence of fatal mesothelioma types like the pleural, peritoneal or pericardial can be avoided by investigating into this non-cancerous growth. This probe will reveal whether the patient is exposed to asbestos.

It is true that benign mesothelioma is not fatal. But it can create troubles in your life by inducing localized pain, shortness of breath etc. The overall health of the victim will be spoiled and mental peace destroyed. Chronic cough, chest pain, breathing problem etc are the major symptoms of benign mesothelioma. The presence and spread of this evil can be revealed through an open lung biopsy, x-ray or CT scan.  Read more...

Mesothelioma is a sort of cancer that’s almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. In this illness, malicious cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers almost all of the body’s internal organs. Its commonest site is the pleura ( outer lining of the lungs and internal chest wall ), but it could also occur in the peritoneum ( the lining of the intestinal cavity ), the heart, the pericardium ( a sac that surrounds the heart ) or tunica vaginalis.

A five year scale is used to calculate mesothelioma survival by the experts of the field. Statistics show that only ten percent of the total patients diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer have reached the target of five years. Mesothelioma survival is based on a couple of varied factors. Some of them are age and general health conditions of the patient, the stage of cancer, and the area affected by the infection.

Prolonged and aggressive treatment alone can increase the chances of mesothelioma survival. But response to such treatment varies from patient to patient, and so does chances of cure and length of survival period. There are several definite parameters that govern the success of treatment. First of all, success depends on the stage at which the cancer was at the time of diagnosis. While first and second stage cases can be cured through surgery and chemotherapy, the third and fourth stage cases have very little chances of survival.  Read more...
