Mesothelioma brief review

This is a paid review

Mesothelioma Aid

Mesothelioma Aid is a site for practical living with malignant mesothelioma. In addition to medical information, mesothelioma patients, their families, and their caregivers need support with real life and mesothelioma caregiving issues. Mesothelioma Aid’s focus is on providing answers to your questions and helping you best cope with what is ahead.

Fast Facts
Mesothelioma is an insidious neoplasm arising from the mesothelial surfaces of the pleural and peritoneal cavities, tunica vaginalis, or pericardium. 80 percent of this cases are from pleural origin. The major risk factor for malignant mesothelioma is inhalation of asbestos.

Since asbestos inhalation is the main risk factor, it’s considered as an occupational disease. The incidence in the U.S. is estimated to be 2,200 cases per year.

Asbestos is valued in industry for its resistance to heat and combustion and it’s still used in cement, ceiling and pool tiles, automobile brake linings, and in shipbuilding.

As many as eight million living persons in the U.S. have been occupationally exposed to asbestos over the past 50 years. Those workers in contact with asbestos are at significant risk for the development of both non malignant and malignant pulmonary disease.

  • Approximately 8 percent of asbestos workers will die of respiratory failure secondary to asbestosis.
  • The vast majority of cancers in asbestos workers involve the lung (mesothelioma for example).
  • The lifetime risk of developing mesothelioma among asbestos workers is thought to be as high as 10%.
  • There is a long latency of approximately 30 to 40 years from the time of asbestos exposure to the development of mesothelioma.
  • There appears to be a dose – response relationship between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma.
  • Asbestos exposure acts synergistically with cigarette smoking to increase the risk of developing lung cancer 60 times.

    • Clinical Presentation
    Malignant pleural mesothelioma most commonly presents in the 5th to 7th decades of life. A large proportion of patients diagnosed at an earlier age have a history of childhood exposure to asbestos.

    The most frequent presenting symptoms of pleural mesothelioma are dyspnea (difficulty in breathing) and nonpleuritic chest pain. Rarely, asymptomatic patients present with a unilateral pleural effusion that is found incidentally on routine chest radiograph.

    Common physical findings at the time of diagnosis include unilateral dullness to percussion at the lung base, palpable chest wall masses, and scoliosis towards the side of the malignancy.

    Clinical course
    This neoplasia exerts its morbidity and mortality via inexorable local invasion. Patients typically develop shortness of breath and chest pain as the tumor gradually obliterates the pleural space and replaces any pleural fluid. Local invasion of crucial thoracic structures can result in one or more of the following complications:

  • Dysphagia
  • Hoarseness
  • Cord compression
  • Brachial plexopathy
  • Horner’s syndrome
  • Superior vena cava syndrome

    • The survival of patients with mesothelioma is between 6 and 18 months, and is not significantly affected by currently available therapeutic interventions.

    With a brief review of this disease we can see that this isn’t a benign disease, that’s why I strongly recommend patients, their families, and their caregivers to visit Mesothelioma Aid for questions and support.

    Omax3 Review

    This is a paid review

    omax

    Have you ever got a lipids profile?
    A nice recommendation is to get a lipid profile by the age of 20 y.o.

    If your General Practitioner found abnormalities in your lipid profile it’s probable that he will order you to modify your lifestile (exercise, diet, take a cup of red wine daily, quit smoking, take an Omega-3 supplement)

    Probably you have heard about “good cholesterol” (HDL) and “bad cholesterol” (LDL). Actually, we know that the rised levels of good cholesterol are better than the low levels of bad cholesterol.

    Well, this product, called Omax3 is the nicest Omega-3 supplement in the market. There are a lot of studies that support the benefits of taking Omega-3 supplements, wich includes:

    • Decreases the risk of heart attack.
    • Slowing the growth of atherosclerotic plaques.
    • Lower your triglyceride levels.
    • Decreases the risk of cardiac arrhythmias.
    • Decreases your blood pressure.
    • Improve cognition and memory.
    • Enhance your mood.
    • Increases your joint and skin health.

    Omax3 is the ultra pure Omega-3 supplement and deñovers greater tjan 91% per softgel capsule (while most supplements just deliver only 30-60 percent).

    This product is manufactured by highest quality standars: pharmaceutical grade, molecularly distilled, independently tested and free from contaminants.


    Supplement facts

    They also accept International orders. I think I’ll give it a try.

    Scrubs Gallery

    This is a paid review:

    This review is about the online uniforme boutique (Scrubs Gallery), wich have the greatest scrub collection.

    Within its catalogue they have a vast collection of lab coats for both man and woman (31) and men’s scrubs (lots), but the main market is for women with three different styles in solid and printed tops and three different models of pants.

    One option that I find very useful is the price on-screen and the possibility of see the line-art because you can’t figure how many pockets your pant has or if it’s with drawstring or what.

    They also have a size chart, for those who trying to avoid errors of sizes.

    I personally contacted to the customer support service via e-mail (who answered me in 5 minutes), but they told me that unfortunately, there is no service of international orders. So I’ll have to wait until I go to USA.

    Customer support service also has a toll-free number.

    On-line orders are encrypted using Verisign verified SSL encryption, and they promote their products with a 30-day money back guarantee on un-opened products with no restocking fee.

    I think it will be nice that they include foot wear in their catalogue.

    New advertising system

    This is a paid review:

    Via Text Link Ads, I have found a new way of advertising, it is called ReviewMe. This great idea, it’s a blog advertising system that will allow advertisers to contact me in order to review their products, web sites or services.

    Andy Hagans and Aaron Wall are the creators of this social network, conceived by Aaron in the first place (right here)

    I hope a lot of advertisers want me to review their stuff. This is a way to give them feedback and not just to publicize their producs.

    If you want to join, you should know that you don’t need a certain kind of plataform (WordPress, Movable Type, Blogger, etc), you just need to post the reviews that ReviewMe’s crew will ask you to write.

    In few words, as Andy said:

    What does ReviewMe do?

    (Minus the buzzwords) Advertisers, you pay to get your stuff reviewed by bloggers. Bloggers, you get paid to review their stuff.

    Congratulations to Andy and Aaron.
