Research experts in Germany have made progress in the use of biomarkers to help diagnose patients suffering from mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is just one type of cancer that affects parts of the thin membrane which is located on the inner surface of the chest wall. It is a disease that has affected many people in the UK who came into contact with asbestos through their work. Despite the potential risks of working with asbestos being known, some industries continued to use the product and yet did not provide employees with suitable safety equipment to protect their health. Shipbuilders, carpenters, roofers, plumbers, painters and demolition workers are just some of the workers who came into contact with asbestos. However it is not just workers who have developed mesothelioma, family members and friends who have handled clothes that have been in contact with asbestos have also been known to become sufferers. In addition, the symptoms of mesothelioma can take up to 50 years to materialise. The research centred on the biomarker calretinin and looked at its potential use as a diagnostic tool in human blood. The aim was to develop an "enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for human...more

Wrinkles are like a dreaded disease that all of us would not want to have. Forehead wrinkles, in particular, make people especially because they are closely associated with worry and distress. Most people would spend a fortune to just stay young and look young.How exactly do these creases form and how to prevent them? Wrinkles come with age and whether we like it or not, there will really come a time when our skin will crumple and sag. As we grow older, collagen, the protein connective tissue that supports our skin, starts to degenerate resulting to the loss of skin's elasticity. Aside from aging, too much sun, poor diet, smoking, drinking alcohol and stress are the other major causes of fine lines and wrinkles. The sun's ultra violet rays, toxins, pollutants and free radicals cause great damage to the skin and therefore should be avoided. Stress, on the other hand, causes chemical reactions inside our body which also causes skin's collagen to shed off. Cortisol, the "stress hormone" is activated and injected into the bloodstream damaging the collagen tissue and takes away the skin's natural suppleness.Before you even think that wrinkles are a hopeless case, here are the common...more
