What is the Difference Between Mesothelioma Cells and Pleuritic Cells Another study is called, "D2-40: A Reliable Marker in the Diagnosis of Pleural Mesothelioma" by Annette M. Müllera, Folker E. Frankeb, Klaus-Michael Müllera - Institute of Pathology, BG Clinics ‘Bergmannsheil', Ruhr University Bochum, Bochum, and Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany - Pathobiology 2006;73:50-54. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Objective: Malignant mesotheliomas of the pleura, peritoneum and pericardium can easily be confused with either metastatic adenocarcinomas or reactive pleural lesions. D2-40, a monoclonal antibody used as a marker for seminomatous germ cell tumours and lymphatic endothelial cells, was recently described in mesothelial cells and type I but not type II pneumocytes. Method: The immunoreactivities of D2-40 in 76 lung carcinomas of different histological types (adenocarcinomas, squamous cell, small cell, and bronchioloalveolar carcinomas) were compared with those of 36 pleural epithelioid and sarcomatoid mesotheliomas and 5 specimens of chronic pleuritis. Results: While all 18 analysed epithelioid mesotheliomas displayed a strong membranous immunostaining, 18...more

When you already have the condition and some damage to your bones has happened, reversing it can be nearly impossible. Regular monitoring by a medical professional...more
For treating prostate cancer, high density focused ultra sound techniques are often used, where high density sound waves destroy cancer cells. The sound waves are made from an endorectal probe placed inside the patient's body. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, is a cancer treatment that kills the cancer cells or stops their cell division....more
Could this be the Alopecia Treatment you have been waiting for?A condition called Alopecia areata is when large round patches of hair loss appear. Apparently, the hair-growing tissue starts being attacked by the persons own immune system. This is the case in many different ailments, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis. In this case, the hair loss will appear suddenly as the hair-growing tissue undergoes the battle with the persons own immune system. Nobody knows why this occurs and people who have this problem wish there was an alopecia treatment.However, they can monitor the various stages of progression. First theres a burst of sudden hair loss, whos diameter keeps increasing and enlarging. Finally, the hair grows back. The process can take between months and years to grow back; and during that time it can be a very embarrassing thing to have to live with. There is no such thing as an alopecia treatment, per-se.They know that alopecia isnt caused by what foods you eat, nor is it a result of being nervous or because youre allergic to something. Provillus, an all-natural solution, has been shown to be a somewhat effective alopecia treatment. However, as with all drug treatments, if there...more
