One interesting study is called, "Insulation workers in Belfast. A further study of mortality due to asbestos exposure (1940-75)." - Br J Ind Med 1977;34:174-180 – by P C Elmes, M J Simpson. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - A follow-up study of 162 men already working as insulators (laggers) in 1940 has been extended from 1965 to 1975. By the end of 1975 there were 40 survivors when 108 had been expected. Until 1965 there had...more
We associate getting sunburns when we are taking a dive in a beach or purposely sunbathing with out the proper tanning lotion. But sunburn is all too common now even when doing your daily and every activity. The sun's ultraviolet rays now days are so strong that if you are merely to stand out too long in the heat you can easily burn your skin.We have heard of the home remedies that can be used to ease the pain of sunburn and for it to heal, like putting vitamin E and sprinkling some vitamin C on the burned area of the skin to hasten the healing. But most of us haven't considered Aloe Vera to be a very effective way to heal sunburns.We have heard of the home remedies that can be used to ease the pain of sunburn and for it to heal, like putting vitamin E and sprinkling some vitamin C on the burned area of the skin to hasten the healing. But most of us haven't considered Aloe Vera to be a very effective way to heal sunburns.Aloe vera gel posses' very high antibacterial properties that aid the healing of even the most serious stages of sunburns. It also contains a specific element called aloectin B, which actually stimulates the immune system. The gel the can be used...more

One interesting study is called, "Characterization of Platelet-derived Growth Factor and Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor Expression in Asbestos-induced Rat Mesothelioma" - Cancer Res January 15, 1992 52; 301 by Cheryl Walker, Edilberto Bermudez, Wendy Stewart, James Bonner, Christopher J. Molloy, and Jeffrey Everitt. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Although altered expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a hallmark of human mesothelioma, expression of PDGF receptors has not been characterized in this cell type. In addition, the expression of this growth factor and its cognate receptor in rodent mesothelioma has not been investigated. In this study, examination of transformed mesothelial cells derived from asbestos-induced rat mesotheliomas revealed that these cells expressed high affinity PDGF receptors (Kd = 0.5 nm) and receptor number was 1.6 × 105/cell. Western analysis using antibodies specific for either the α-type or β-type PDGF receptor and Northern analysis using probes specific for α- and β-type receptor RNA transcripts indicated that these cells expressed β-type PDGF receptors but that α-type receptors could not be detected....more
