Lipids (a simplified word for “non-water-soluble-fats” within your system) have to move from the outside of a cell, through the cytosol, mix with pyruvate, plus oxygen… then proceed to your “furnace” (mitochondria). This is where you break fat down into your “rewarding and much-wanted” by-products – energy (the work you’ve achieved); H2O (sweat); and carbon dioxide (a lot of continuous “exhaling”).

So, if you quit at the 10-minute mark, you deny yourself approximately an additional 10 calories or more per minute of weight lost, primarily from fat stores. Stopping this process at 10 minutes is much like going all the way to the door of your favorite party but never stepping inside…for the “real” action.

Reasons Why You Should Work Out More Than Ten Minutes

With all of that said, there’s an even more monumentally powerful yet scientific reason why you should work out for more than only ten minutes. In fact, at least 30-minute exercise sessions prove most beneficial for fast effective weight loss and improved endurance. You’ll get three fundamental benefits from this:

First, you preserve your LEAN body mass (which you need because it burns fat far better than fat can burn itself).

Second, you get to expend MAXIMUM calories (the true key to losing weight – maximizing caloric expenditure, which is a time-consuming venture).

Third, your extended physical activity makes you change the way your body USES food internally or metabolically (for example, getting three-fold increase in calories expended, compared to person remaining sedentary.).

To Summarize, Experts Now Agree

The bottom line is that essentially all experts in diabetic science, obesity control, dietetics & nutrition, exercise science & personal training, and exercise physiology agree that extended, low-to-moderate-intensity physical activity is yet the most significant and flexible factor in energy expenditure for losing weight.

Mix that with practicality, reasonability, and utilize the following tip: Base your safe, effective weight loss goals around the fundamental principle that you need to alter your energy balance in the NEGATIVE direction by expending about 500 calories per day from smartly manipulating both EXERCISE AND DIET. You’ll find that it’s barely even possible to accomplish this feat by altering food alone. With exercise, however, you can obtain your weight loss objectives much more comfortably and conveniently, plus safely, too, for results that are long-lasting and health enhancing.

Teeth whitening, often called as teeth bleaching, apparently refers to the process of removing the stains that are present on a person’s set of teeth. This is done to regain the teeth’s luster or shine. Currently, there are different procedures performed dentists for patients to achieve a pearly white set of teeth. Usually, chemicals are used that are aimed to induce oxidation. Chemicals are applied since the stains can no longer be removed by ordinary toothpaste. The timeframe required, meanwhile, mainly depends on the severity of the discoloration. The costs also depend on the actual procedure to be done and the degree of severity.

Some people who want to have a whiter set of teeth resort on over-the-counter teeth whitening gels. However, if you want to ensure your own safety, you may want to consult your dentist first on the products that you can use to remove the stains on your teeth.

North Queensland (Mesothelioma Cancer News) – An investigation has begun into an asbestos scare at a school in North Queensland. As reported by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), investigators are set to assess school faculty and contractor practices and procedures after an evacuation at Mackay North State High following a disturbance of asbestos fibres last week.

Central Queensland Department of Education director Wayne Butler is quoted in the report as stating of the matter, “As regional director I have instigated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the work that occurred at Mackay North State High School leading to the situation where we discovered or found that there may have been some risk to students through dust particles such as asbestos.”

Butler is further quoted as stating, “We have Dr Keith Adams coming up who is a specialist doctor with occupational medicine and he’ll be talking to members of staff and then to members of the school community on Tuesday afternoon.”

Nacogdoches, Texas – January 3, 2010

In Nacogdoches, Texas, students attending Stephen F. Austin State University are getting ready to say their final goodbyes to a complex that has housed many students over the years. The Garner Apartments will soon be demolished, as soon as asbestos abatement has been completed.

The 14-story dormitory is scheduled be demolished after the end of the fall semester, and all students are required to be moved out by December 19th. Once the residence is demolished, the land will become home to a new student residence hall, as well as a new parking garage.

Asbestos abatement will begin immediately after the last students have left. Asbestos must be removed from the site before demolition can begin in order to keep the material from becoming pulverized or airborne. If asbestos is accidentally inhaled or ingested, the results can be deadly.

Asbestos exposure has been scientifically linked to the development of mesothelioma, in numerous studies. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that has no known cure. Tragically, most mesothelioma patients lose their battle with this form of cancer in less than 24 months.

“It’s kind of bittersweet,” said one student. “It’s nice to have something new, but it’s kind of sad to see (Garner) go, because it’s the tallest building in Nacogdoches.”

The Garner Apartments were built in 1969, and were named for a former history and political science professor at SFA. The Garner was home to 266 residents, but the planned freshman dorms that will be erected on the site will house 400.

Moundsville, West Virginia – January 4, 2010

In Moundsville, West Virginia, the former Fostoria property is finally showing signs of life after two decades of sitting vacant.

“It hurt our economy when we lost the Fostoria. It had 700 to 800 employees at any one time. So that was a major dent in our employment,” said city manager Allen Hendershot. “The developers on site have taken down an additional five buildings and it’s very visible the change in the site now,” he added.

The next step is asbestos removal, and last week the Moundsville city council agreed to hire a consulting firm to outline the needs of the asbestos removal portion of the Fostoria project. Asbestos removal is a vital step on the road to salvaging this building, as asbestos exposure has been conclusively linked to the development of mesothelioma, a rare but aggressive form of cancer.

Mesothelioma affects less than 3,000 Americans each year, and while there are some patients who may temporarily benefit from chemotherapy and other palliative treatments, mesothelioma remains incurable. Mesothelioma generally lies dormant for as many as fifty years before an individual begins to suffer from related symptoms, and the majority of patients lose their battle with this cancer in less than two years.

“We’re hoping to have the preliminary remedial action plan ready by mid-January. We’ll have to submit that to the [Department of Environmental Protection] for approval,” Hendershot said. “But we’re hoping that we’ll be able to keep this process moving quickly now.”

TREVOR CHAPPELL
December 9, 2009 – 4:34PM
Drug developer Bionomics Ltd plans to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of its leading compound, anti-cancer drug BNC105, on 60 mesothelioma patients in Australia next year.

Bionomics chief executive Dr Deborah Rathjen said on Wednesday that the trial would be one of few trials next year involving a drug targeting mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer usually caused by exposure to asbestos and attacks the protective lining that covers most of the body’s internal organs.

Bionomics says BCN105 can extend the life of people suffering from mesothelioma and provide them with a better quality of life.

Dr Rathjen said about 600 people in Australia were diagnosed with mesothelioma each year and about 500 died from the disease.

The number of people suffering from the disease is expected to rise as more people than previously thought are believed to have been exposed to asbestos.

China and India are also expected to present large numbers of people suffering from mesothelioma because controls over asbestos in those countries are not as strict as controls in Australia and the United States.

BCN105 will also undergo a Phase II trial in the United States for the treatment of renal cancer.

Dr Rathjen said BCN105 was unlike other cancer drugs in that its two-pronged action blasted away the centre of tumours and also directly attacked cancer cells.

“A lot of chemotherapies will kill tumour cells but the cancers are able to evade and become resistant to chemotherapy,” she said.

“We don’t believe that cancers will become resistant to 105, using the same mechanisms that they become resistant to other chemotherapies.”

Dr Rathjen said Bionomics was looking towards getting BCN105 to market quickly by positioning it in “niche” applications such as the treatment of mesothelioma and renal cancer.

However, the drug had the potential to be used against other forms of cancer.

“Really, any solid tumour type that we tested this drug on in animals, it will shut down the blood vessels within those solid tumours and it will kill a cancer cell,” Dr Rathjen said.

Bionomics expects that the market for BNC105 could surpass $US1 billion ($A1.11 billion), should it be successfully developed.

“This drug has been very promising so far and the company is quickly moving to phase two trials,” Dr Rathjen said.

“We are expecting to report interim results of this trial in patients with mesothelioma in early 2011.”

Dr Rathjen said that once the Phase II trials were completed, the company hoped to license the compound for commercialisation.

The Phase II trials follow a successful Phase I trial of BCN105 in patients with advanced cancers at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, the Western Hospital, Austin Health and the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

The American Cancer Society promotes local and nationwide activities, like the Great American Smoke out, to help educate people and to provide them with resources to help conquer their smoking habit. This year’s Great American Smoke out is scheduled for November 18.

Cancer is defined as a group of diseases that are characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. With lung cancer, because of the rapidly dividing abnormal cells the lung is no longer able to function properly and these cells eventually grow out of the lung and affect surrounding healthy tissue. When the cancer metastasizes to surrounding tissue, treatment options are more severely limited and quality of life is greatly affected. Occupational exposure to carcinogens like asbestos, tobacco smoke, radiation, viruses, and chemicals or a family history of lung cancer often lead to a diagnosis of lung cancer. Usually the cancer is found when the patient becomes symptomatic with a continuous, annoying cough which may produce blood-tinged sputum. Some patients experience weight loss, a lack of energy or shortness of breath. A chest X-ray is normally ordered to determine the cause for these complaints and a mass or abnormality may be found. This usually precipitates a diagnostic work-up to determine if the cause of the symptomology is benign or malignant.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center implemented a “Lung Mass” Clinic to perform work-up on patients with existing abnormal lung X-ray findings, and to diagnose and arrange treatment for these findings as quickly as possible. The clinic is comprised of an interdisciplinary team which includes services from Pulmonary, Cardiology, Cardio- Thoracic Surgery, Pathology, Medical and Radiological Oncology and referring Primary Care physicians.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in men and women in the United States. Nearly twice as many women die of lung cancer than of breast cancer. Approximately 85% of all lung cases occur as a result of smoking or a history of smoking. A small number of cases are as a result of second-hand smoking exposure and a family history of lung cancer is also a consideration when diagnosing a lung abnormality. Treatment options are surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of these treatments. With the onset of new targeted treatments for lung cancer patients, the anticipation is that outcomes will improve as will quality of life.

Prevention and early detection are the key components to reducing the number of deaths from lung cancer. Eisenhower’s Health and Wellness Center offers tobacco cessation classes. The classes are experiencing record enrollments with requests to add additional classes. Please consider enrolling in a class or talk to your provider about what resources are available to help you quit smoking. For more informaton on smoking cessation call the Health and Wellness Center at (706) 787-6756.

In the United Kingdom, more 2,000 people die a year of mesothelioma, a cancer associated with asbestos exposure. The numbers have been trending steeply upward since the 1960s, according to Great Britain’s Health and Safety Executive.

Asbestos-related disease exacts a steep cost in terms of lives lost, pain and suffering by Mesothelioma patients and their families and asbestos-related insurance costs. With more awareness and publicity about mesothelioma a greater proportion of asbestos-disease sufferers are filing claims against their employer after their diagnosis of cancer of the lining of the lung or abdomen.

A new actuarial study doubles the projected asbestos-related insurance claims that the UK insurance industry will pay to about £11 billion ($17.8 billion) through 2050. The previous estimate of claims cost made in 2004 was £4.7 billion ($7.6 billion), but that only covered the period to 2040. The increase in the insurance market estimate was driven primarily by a near doubling of the observed number of mesothelioma claims since 2004.

The study was compiled by the UK Asbestos Working Party, part of Actuarial Professional, an organization representing the actuary industry.

The number of insurance claims has been increasing faster than the rate of mesothelioma deaths in Britain, the report said. In the past, about one-third of asbestos-related deaths resulted in insurance claims, but now nearly two-thirds of asbestos victims make claims. Still, there is uncertainty about the number of people who will be diagnosed with mesothelioma in future decades, making the projections less reliable in the outlying years.

The study noted that mesothelioma claims accounted for more than 90 percent of the United Kingdom’s asbestos-related claims cost.

The wide use of asbestos and its danger to human health have had and will continue to have profound consequences.

Jackson, Missouri – January 24, 2010

In Jackson, Missouri, a $500,000 armory renovation is wrapping up. Removal of asbestos was a key component of this project, with small amounts of the carcinogenic material being removed from beneath floor tiles in the training room.

The removal of this material reduces the risk of servicemen and women being exposed to airborne asbestos particles, which can be lethal if accidentally inhaled or ingested. Asbestos exposure can lead to mesothelioma later in life. This incurable cancer takes decades to develop, but can kill within months of being diagnosed. Most often, the cancer affects the lungs, although the heart and abdominal cavity can also be affected.

The Missouri National Guard’s Jackson armory project will wrap up by the end of the month. Improvements go beyond asbestos removal, and include an improved kitchen, new offices, and updates to both the heating and air conditioning. “In general terms, the impact during the time the project is going on is significant,” said Bruce Domazlicky, director of Southeast Missouri State University’s Center for Economic Research. “It’s especially good news now, since construction of new homes has fallen off. Projects like this one can be really beneficial.”

“We’re really going to be pleased with this when it’s done,” added Sgt. 1st Class Byron Wilkerson. “It really needed upgrading. It’s going to have a more modern look, which is good for the Guard Soldiers who work and drill here. But it also leaves a good impression with the public — whether it’s a potential recruit stopping by to check us out or just the general public.”

Nether Langwith, UK—The death of a painting and decorating contractor in 2003 from the fatal asbestos cancer mesothelioma is at the center of a new court case which may have a lasting impact on mesothelioma sufferers’ compensation claims.

Leslie Edwin Screach worked for G&C Whittle Ltd., in Chiswick, Middlesex, from 1963 to 1968. While on the job as a painting and decorating contractor, he was exposed to asbestos, and breathed in the deadly, microscopic fibers released from that asbestos. Asbestos, a building and insulating material that was widely used in the mid-20th Century, was an especial risk for those who worked in construction or renovation projects. Although it is heatproof, flame-resistant, strong and durable, and therefore useful in a number of applications, it is also a known carcinogen and can lead to mesothelioma, a cancer which strikes the membranous lining of the lungs and thoracic cavity.

Mesothelioma has a poor prognosis and can take up to 50 years to fully develop, making both diagnosis and treatment difficult. On average, a patient diagnosed with mesothelioma dies within 18 months of learning that he or she has the disease.

Screach, who died in 2003 at age 73 from mesothelioma, was survived by a daughter, Ruth Durham. After her father’s death, Durham made an insurance claim of £150,000, but the insurance company denied it, claiming that they could not be held responsible for asbestos contamination that occurred 40 years prior. The case went to court, and a High Court judge ruled that liability begins at the time of exposure to asbestos, not at the time when the asbestos-related disease develops or is diagnosed.

The insurance companies were granted the opportunity to appeal, which they did. A London Court of Appeals will now hear the case, which involves not only Durham but a number of other families who have lost loved ones to this devastating cancer. The hearing, which will be before the nation’s top judges, is expected to last three weeks.
