Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an irrational fear of gaining weight coupled with a relentless pursuit of becoming thin. Anorexia is usually seen in adolescents and young women although men and children are also likely to experience the condition. Due to the distorted view of one's body weight that anorexics suffer from, they resort to self starvation through dieting, fasting, and purging in order to continuously shed off pounds. By constantly losing weight, the anorexic gets a feeling of being successful and experiences a boost in self esteem. However, these gains are short lived and the anorexic soon finds out that it leads to great emotional pain, isolation, and physical damage. Thus, treatment for anorexia should be implemented at once to prevent further damage in different areas of the anorexic's life.A treatment for anorexia is aimed at two basic goals - restoring healthy weight and establishing healthy eating habits. By achieving a healthy weight, people with anorexia can have better recovery for their bodies and minds enabling them to think more clearly and fight the urges brought about by anorexia.Initial treatment for anorexia...more

Another interesting study is called, "Localized mesothelioma of the pleura: benign and malignant variants" by N Okike, PE Bernatz and LB Woolner - The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Vol 75, 363-372. Here is an excerpt: "Mesothelioma, even of the pleura alone, is a ubiquitous pathological designation. The diffuse variety is associated with an ominous prognosis. The localized mesothelioma generally has been assumed to be benign. A review of tumors from 60 patients with localized pleural mesothelioma seems to justify separation into benign (52 patients) and malignant (eight patients) variants. Histologic criteria are used primarily to make this division. No single clinical feature allowed preoperative predictability concerning benignity or malignancy, although extrathoracic osteoarthropathy was seen only with benign lesions (20 percent), usually those greater than 7 cm. Follow-up periods of as long as 24 years revealed recurrent tumor in only two of the 58 patients with benign lesions and revealed a survival curve identical to that of the general population. All of the patients with the malignant variety had recurrence or metastasis, and all but one...more
