Acne is a common skin disease characterized by pimples on the face, chest, and back. It occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
Acne: Localized skin inflammation as a result of overactivity of the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. Acne happens when oil (sebaceous) glands come to life around puberty, when these glands are stimulated by male hormones that are produced in the adrenal glands of both boys and girls.
Acne is caused by the overactivity of the sebaceous glands that secrete oily substances onto the skin The sebaceous glands of people with acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of a hormone called testosterone, found naturally in both men and women.
Causes of adult acne and teen acne may include hormones, diet, evolutionary biology, vitamin deficiency, stress, and more. The real explanation may be a complex mix of many of these factors.
Acne Symptoms
The common symptoms of acne include persistent, recurrent red spots or swellings on the skin known as pimples. Some of the other symptoms include dark spots with open pores at the center, which are known as blackheads, bulged spots under the skin without openings, which are known as whiteheads, and red swellings or lumps filled with pus, which are known as pustules. Inflamed fluid-filled lumps under the skin known as cysts are also a symptom of acne. These cysts can become as large as an inch across.
Acne develops most often on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, or back and can range from mild to severe. It can last for a few months, many years, or come and go your entire life.
Mild acne usually causes only whiteheads and blackheads. At times, these may develop into an infection in the skin pore (pimple).

“There are no FDA-approved cancer therapies that employ alpha-particle radiation,”
said lead researcher Lon Wilson, professor of chemistry.
“Approved therapies that use beta particles are not well-suited for treating cancer at the single-cell level because it takes thousands of beta particles to kill a lone cell. By contrast, cancer cells can be destroyed with just one direct hit from an alpha particle on a cell nucleus.”
In the study, Wilson, Rice graduate student Keith Hartman, University of Washington (UW) radiation oncologist Scott Wilbur and UW research scientist Donald Hamlin, developed and tested a process to load astatine atoms inside short sections of carbon nanotubes. Because astatine is the rarest naturally occurring element on Earth — with less than a teaspoon estimated to exist in the Earth’s crust at any given time — the research was conducted using astatine created in a UW cyclotron.
Lung cancer causes 30 percent of all cancer deaths

Lung cancer causes 30 percent of all cancer deaths per year making it the leading cause of cancer death in the United States on an annual basis.
It takes more lives annually than breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, and melanoma combined. More than 50% of the time, new lung cancer cases are diagnosed at a very late stage, making them difficult to treat effectively. In fact, only 5 to 10 percent of those diagnosed with advanced lung cancer will reach the five year survival plateau.
Recent improvements in diagnostic technology, biopsy and treatment techniques have enhanced the clinician’s ability to accurately diagnose, stage and treat lung cancer. Perhaps no other improvement has been as important as the use of computed tomography, often called a CT or CAT scan, as a front line screening tool in detecting early stage lung cancer in asymptomatic patients.

A landmark study published in the October 2006 New England Journal of Medicine found that with CT Screening, lung cancer can be detected at the earliest stage (Stage I) in 85 percent of patients and can lead to an estimated 10 year survival rate of 88 percent. The estimated 10 year survival rate goes even higher, to 92 percent, for those whose early detected cancers are able to be removed completely with surgery.
