All About Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is normally caused by asbestos exposure. Mesothelioma is cancer that occurs in the mesothelium.
Mesothelioma:
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer affecting the cells of mesothelial lining in the chest and abdomen. Mesothelioma cancer can develop in the tissues covering the lungs or the abdomen. Mesothelioma has also been found in the stomach and other abdominal organs but it is much rarer in those areas than are both pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma. Mesothelioma can also occur in the ovaries and scrotum. Mesothelioma invades the chest wall or the esophagus during the second stage.Mesothelioma also takes a long time to develop (typically 15-40 years), so patients today could have been exposed prior to the 1980s when asbestos was not highly regulated. Mesothelioma is not caused by smoking, as lung cancer so often is.
Symptoms:
Symptoms One of the most common symptoms of mesothelioma is an accumulation of fluid between the lining of the lung and the chest cavity. Symptoms include:abdominal painascites, or an abnormal buildup of fluid in the abdomen a mass in the abdomen problems with bowel function weight loss. Symptoms such as trouble swallowing, pain, or swelling of the neck and face can be indications that the cancer has spread beyond the mesotheliom to other parts of the body. Symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include persistent pain in the chest and severe difficulty breathing caused by pleural effusion, or an accumulation of fluid in the pleural lining Cough, weight loss, and fever are also common symptoms. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and abdominal pain and swelling due to a buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 20 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos.
Diagnosis:
The key to long-term survival from treatment of mesothelioma is early diagnosis, which enables the greatest potential for success from standard therapies. Diagnosis begins with a review of the patient's medical history, including any history of asbestos exposure. Diagnosis of Mesothelioma is based on a pathological exam, more commonly referred to as a biopsy.Since this disease can be hard to diagnosis and costly to treat, it may require the consultation of an experienced attorney. When conclusive diagnosis cannot be made from fluid samples, diagnosis is often made through a surgical procedure called a throrascopy.The average age at diagnosis of mesothelioma is between 50 and 70 years old, with men being affected three to five times more often than women. The diagnosis may be suspected with chest X-ray and CT scan, and is confirmed with a biopsy (tissue sample) and microscopic examination. The median survival time is 17 months, with ten percent of patients living for three years after diagnosis.
Conclusion:
Mesothelioma is a deadly cancer which is fairly rare although in the last few decades the number of people who have died from it have dramatically increased. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, but the deadliest one of all. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer and only affects between 2,000 and 3,000 people in the United States per year. Mesothelioma is less common in African Americans than in white Americans. Mesothelioma is rare in people under age 55. National Cancer Institute stats show that 3000 new diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma is reported each year. Mesothelioma is not always fatal and that is the hope to hold on to.

Even if you have a first degree and your first job you will still need to keep up with your professional development and make sure you get your professional qualifications. It is quite important that what you learn is seen by employers as being internationally transferable. If you already work for a multinational it is important that you have the same qualifications as your colleagues do overseas.

This week - November 7 – 11, 2011, the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) is celebrating National Distance Education Week and hosting free webinars the entire week. In conjunction with this honor, the Maryland Distance Learning Association (MDLA) is also celebrating their 13th birthday and hosting celebrations at various institutions around the state: Harford Community College, Montgomery Community College, and Prince George's Community College. Throughout the week online educators will showcase the continued growth of online learning, technology advances, latest trends in development and delivery of courses, along with other trends in the exciting world of online learning.
Educators in the field are well aware of the fact that online learning has taken education to the next level world wide. Anywhere there is an Internet connection there you will find online class accessibility. Needless to say Maryland, along with many other states, has stepped up its’ education program to fulfill the demand for this non traditional learning. One such program offered through the Maryland Virtual Learning Opportunities Program and managed by the Maryland Department of Educationis designed for high school students who are experiencing difficulty due to poor grades, disciplinary actions, absenteeism, leave of absence, or for those who desire/need courses that may not be available in the traditional setting. And although the MVL Program is not does not offer an entire high school program online many students are benefiting from having accessibility to these courses to enrich their learning.
Other education institutions throughout Baltimore City and the entire state of Maryland including community colleges, trade schools, and higher education institutions now offer online courses as a means to fulfill the need of learners, parents, and institutions in obtaining and providing a quality education with the least interruptions to their lifestyles as possibleContinue reading on Examiner.com National Distance Education Week - November 7 - 11, 2011 - Baltimore online learning | Examiner.com http://www.examiner.com/online-learning-in-baltimore/national-distance-education-week-november-7-11-2011#ixzz1d723td2o

About Distance Education
Distance education or distance learning is a field of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivering teaching, often on an individual basis, to students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as a classroom. It has been described as "a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both."[1] Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason (including taking examinations) have been referred to ashybrid[2] or blended[3] courses of study.
Technologies used in delivery
The types of available technologies used in distance education are divided into two groups: synchronous learning and asynchronous learning.
Synchronous learning technology is a mode of delivery where all participants are "present" at the same time. It resembles traditional classroom teaching methods despite the participants being located remotely. It requires a timetable to be organized. Web conferencing, videoconferencing, Educational television, Instructional television are examples of synchronous technology, as are direct-broadcast satellite (DBS), internet radio, live streaming, telephone, and web-based VoIP.[18]
The asynchronous learning mode of delivery is where participants access course materials on their own schedule and so is more flexible. Students are not required to be together at the same time. Mail correspondence, which is the oldest form of distance education, is an asynchronous delivery technology and others include message board forums, e-mail, video and audio recordings, print materials,voicemail and fax.[18]
The two methods can be combined in the delivery of one course. For example, some courses offered by The Open University use periodic sessions of residential or day teaching to supplement the remote teaching.[citation needed]
Other technology methods used in the delivery of distance education include online three-dimensional (3D) virtual worlds. A popular 3D virtual world, Active Worlds, is used for synchronous and asynchronous learning. Active Worlds provides opportunities for students to work collaboratively.[19]
Major benefits of use: an institutional perspective
Diana G. Oblinger,[20] writing specifically of the US context, has identified four broad reasons why educational institutions might embrace distance learning:
- Expanding access: distance education can assist in meeting the demand for education and training demand from the general populace and businesses, especially because it offers the possibility of a flexibility to accommodate the many time-constraints imposed by personal responsibilities and commitments.
- Alleviate capacity constraints: being mostly or entirely conducted off-site, the system reduces the demand on institutional infrastructure such as buildings.
- Making money from emerging markets: she claims an increasing acceptance from the population of the value of lifelong learning, beyond the normal schooling age, and that institutions can benefit financially from this by adopting distance education. She sees sectors of education such as courses for business executives as being "more lucrative than traditional markets".
- Catalyst for institutional transformation: the competitive modern marketplace demands rapid change and innovation, for which she believes distance education programs can act as a catalyst.
Casey and Lorenzen have identified another financial benefit for the institutions of the US, stating that distance education creates new graduates who might be willing to donate money to the school who would have never have been associated with the school under the traditional system.[21]
