Pleural Mesothelioma

We all know that mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that develops from the mesothelium - the protective lining that covers many of the body's internal organs, which is usually caused by exposure to asbestos.

There are three different types of Mesothelioma Cancer, the Peritoneal Mesothelioma, Pericardial Mesothelioma and the most common type is the Pleural Mesothelioma. This type of cancer is located around the lining of the lungs, and begins when a membranous cell attempts to consume an asbestos fiber that has become lodged in the lung membrane. When this occurs, other cells rush to help, but cannot do so as the fiber is too long and too thin for the body to achieve the removal on its own. As more cells pile up, inflammation results, leading to the growth of a tumor. Once a tumor has begun to grow around the lungs, patients will typically begin to experience a shortness of breath, a feeling of pressure, and often severe coughing. When these symptoms are examined by a doctor, they will often mistake them for a severe flu or buildup of fluid in the lungs from another source. 

Exposure to asbestos is the primary cause of pleural mesothelioma. Used in many industries throughout the 20th century, asbestos was found in thousands of products and those who worked with the material in an occupational setting are most at risk for developing pleural mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma research is exploring other risk factors, but none have been proven like the link between asbestos and pleural mesothelioma.

Symptoms of Diabetes

Diabetes, is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin.

Diabetes has become a serious health issue among many, it often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so harmless. Recent studies indicate that the early detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the chance of developing the complications of diabetes.
The cells fail to metabolize glucose and that results tiredness. The body starts to break reserved fats to gain energy. Breaking the fat requires more energy that the glucose can produce. That makes the body more tired. This can be work as a symptom, indicating diabetes.

But there are still some symptoms that can easily disregarded by a diabetic person, and in this article I'm going to discuss some of the basic symptoms of diabetes.

1. Unusual thirst - The glucose concentration started to increase in our body and the body requires to delute it, and now the body urges for more water to intake.

2. Frequent Urination -  too much glucose in our body system may lead to frequent urination. The body tends to free extra sugar through urine. It may also leads to dehydration because of a big amount of water drained from out body.

3. Extreme hunger - When the blood sugar increases, the body tries to produce more insulin. This leads to increased hunger. Extreme hunger is one of the most prominent signs of increased blood sugar in the body.

4. Unusual weight loss - Loosing excess water and body fat metabolism result in weight loss. It happens suddenly and occurs as a clear symptom. Some people start to gain weight because of the hunger. This fluctuation is surely a diabetes symptom.

5. Extreme Fatigue and irritability - The glucose supply to the brain decreases because of diabetes which is the main cause of irritation. You start to feel uneasy and your body feels tiredness. You will tend to sleep more because of this. This is a big symptom that indicates rise of blood pressure.

6. Unhealed cut/wounds - One of the clearest signs of diabetes is the slow healing of cut and wounds on our body.

Mesothelioma Treatment Options

It's always difficult if you or one of your family members diagnosed any kind of health problems especially if it was related to cancer because such problem is an aggressive malignancy, patients and their families may have a difficult time addressing the issue of treatment.

Since I've already discussed on this blog the main cause of having Malignant Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer that develops from the protective lining that covers many of the body's internal organs, and due to it's steadily increasing number of patients, the discussion of treatment with one’s primary oncologist, family members, and loved ones is important. Nearly all mesothelioma patients have treatment options; be they curative or palliative that can extend survival, alleviate pain, or increase quality of life.

Cancer treatment usually focuses upon destroying malignant cells and preserving healthy ones. Saving of cell tissues is very important to any cancer patient. There are three types of primary mechanism that's typically utilize for a cancer patient as part of mesothelioma treatment. Either surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, or some combination of the three are considered the most effective for the treatment of malignant mesothelioma.
The course of treatment to any cancer patient are heavily depends on the size of the tumor and its location to the internal body of the patient, how malignant it was and how curable it is.

Asbestos: The major risk factor for Mesothelioma

I've been reading different articles on how we can abort to exposed in mesothelioma cancer or also known as malignant mesothelioma. It's a rare form of cancer that develops from the protective lining that covers many of the body's internal organs, the mesothelium. Based on the research, the main caused of having malignant mesothelioma is being exposed in any form of asbestos, a set of six naturally occurring silicate minerals exploited commercially for their desirable physical properties.

Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos, or they have been exposed to amphibole asbestos dust and fiber in other ways.  It has also been suggested that washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can put a person at risk for developing mesothelioma. However, mesothelioma has been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos. In rare cases, mesothelioma has also been associated with irradiation, intra-pleural thorium dioxide, and inhalation of other fibrous silicates, such as erionite.

The symptoms of mesothelioma include shortness of breath due to pleural effusion (fluid between the lung and the chest wall) or chest wall pain, and general symptoms such as weight loss. The diagnosis may be suspected with chest X-ray and CT scan, and is confirmed with a biopsy (tissue sample) and microscopic examination.

EXERCISE: A help or Hindrance to Immune Defense?

Many people who exercise claims that they have fewer infections when they are in good aerobic conditions ,few studies have been conducted that can substantiate or refute this claim.  The bulk of the evidence indicates the moderate exercise may have beneficial effects on the immune system, whereas strenuous exercise may be accompanied by reduced immune -system activity.

Moderate exercise training results in an increase in the circulating numbers of granulocytes and lymphocytes and an increase in cytotoxic and natural killer cell acivity. On the other hand maximal exercise suppresses natural killer cells activity one to two hours after exercise. It is possible that intense physical activity induces the stress response, which in turn suppresses immune functions.

Athletes with long, difficult training schedules and intense competition have increased incident of respiratory infection. Because these athletes have lower resting salivary IgA levels compared with control subjects and that their mucosal immunoglobulins are decreased  after prolonged exhaustive exercise.  These levels return to normal after twenty four hours.

It is possible that the athlete who is in training with frequent bouts of exhaustive exercise may have a sustained reduction in mucosal immununity and therefore lower resistance to respiratory infection.

ALL FAT IS NOT CREATED EQUAL

There are different ways to be fat, and one way is more dangerous than the other. Obese patients can be classified into two categories. Android, a male type of adipose tissue distribution,and gynoid, a female type distribution of adipose tissue measured as the ratio  of waist circumference to hip circumference. Android obesity is characterized by abdominal fat distribution or upper body obesity, where as the gynoid obesity is characterized by fat distribution in hips anad thighs. Females can have android obesity or male can have gynoid obesity.

Android obesity is associated with a number of disorders, including insulin resistance, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke. Gynoid obesity is not associated with high risk for these disorders. Because android obesity is associated with increased risk for the disease, it is more important for the overweight individuals with this type of adipose distribution to reduce their fat stores.

The Food Pyramid and Nutrition for Children by Carl C.

According to the food pyramid, your child should be receiving a big amount of grains since this can be converted into energy for the body. Toddlers should get 3 ounces of this while school age children should eat anywhere from four to seven ounces depending on the age and weight of the child. Grains are found in foods that contain whole wheat such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal, bran etc. The following are all equivalent to one ounce:

* 1 slice of bread or 1 mini bagel
* ½ cup cooked rice, pasta, cereal or oatmeal
* 7 pcs. Round or square crackers
* 1 six-inch tortilla
* 1 four-inch pancake or 2 small pancakes

Vegetables and fruits are needed in the daily diet because of the vitamins and minerals that they provide. These help the body combat diseases and free radicals. Toddlers need to get 2 cups of fruits and vegetables while school aged children need anywhere from1 ½ cups to 3 cups depending on size and age. Here are some examples of measurements equal to 1 cup:

* 2 cups green leafy vegetables = 1 cup raw vegetables
* 2 medium carrots
* 1 large sweet potato
* 1 medium potato
* 1 medium orange, apple, pear or banana
* 8 big strawberries
* 1 watermelon wedge
* 1 large peach

Eat, Fish, beans, poultry and nuts provide your kids with the necessary protein for brain and body development. You can find this in meat and white meat, various types of beans such as kidney, chickpeas, lentils etc. It is also found in nuts such as walnuts, pecans, almond s and others. For toddlers two ounces are needed daily while school aged kids depending on their age and size will need anywhere from 3 to 6 ounces. Here are some examples of one ounce measurements:

* 1 egg
* 1 tbsp. peanut butter
* ¼ cup cooked dry beans
* 12 almonds
* 7 walnut halves
* ¼ of a chicken breast
* ½ of a lean burger
* ½ a small trout

As for dairy products, these include, milk, cheese yogurt and other products that are made from these things such as pudding. This is an important part of the children's diets because it provides calcium, Vitamins D, protein and Vitamin A that is needed for bones and skin development. Toddlers are recommended to take in 2 cups daily while school aged children will need anywhere from 2 to 3 cups depending on how old they are and what they weigh. The following are some examples of dairy equivalents in cups

* 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup (whether for milk or yogurt)
* 2/3 cups shredded cheese
* 3 scoops ice cream
* 3 slices processed cheese

Trying to master the equivalent portion sizes can be quite tasking at the beginning; but the more that you incorporate this in your daily meals and the more that you practice healthy eating habits then the more natural things like these become for you and you children.
