An interesting study is called, Early Response Evaluation in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma by Positron Emission Tomography With [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose by Giovanni L. Ceresoli, Arturo Chiti, Paolo A. Zucali, Marcello Rodari, Romano F. Lutman, Silvia Salamina, Matteo Incarbone, Marco Alloisio, Armando Santoro - Journal of Clinical Oncology, Vol 24, No 28 (October 1), 2006: pp. 4587-4593 American Society of Clinical Oncology. Here is an excerpt: ABSTRACT - PURPOSE: Response evaluation with conventional criteria based on computed tomography (CT) is particularly challenging in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) due to its diffuse pattern of growth. There is growing evidence that therapy-induced changes in tumor [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) may predict response and patient outcome early in the course of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with histologically proven MPM, not candidates to curative surgery, scheduled to undergo palliative chemotherapy with a pemetrexed-based regimen were eligible for this study. Patients were evaluated by FDG-PET and CT at baseline and after two cycles of therapy. A decrease of 25% or...more

Have you tried looking in the mirror only to see your shining face? Oily skin is a common problem worldwide. It is because of too much oil production by the sebaceous glands. The oil produced by these glands are necessary to keep your skin healthy. Although sometimes too much oil is not good. Looking for an oily skin treatment that works may seem hard. But it's not really true!The first thing that you have to do in oily skin treatment is to make sure that your face is clean. Use warm water and a gentle cleanser to wash your face two to three times everyday. Avoid drying out your skin too much. It may appear that dry skin isn't oily. It can in fact lead to more oil being produced. More oil will be given out if your skin dries out. Don't use rough cloths and strong cleansers. Your sebaceous glands might kick into overdrive if your skin gets in contact with anything too harsh.In addition to the gentle soap or facial scrub, be sure that part of your oily skin treatment is using tepid water, not hot. Hot water can dry out your skin, just like the harsh cleansers. This will again cause your sebaceous glands to go into overdrive.After you have controlled the oil production and your face...more
