PURPOSE: Asbestos exposure is the major known risk factor for mesothelioma, but several case reports have suggested a link between radiation therapy and subsequent development of malignant mesothelioma. This report explores a possible association between radiation therapy for Hodgkin’s disease and mesothelioma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Four cases of malignant mesothelioma were observed following Hodgkin’s disease at the Mesothelioma Clinic of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. A fifth such patient was found after a review of the literature. RESULTS: In all five cases, the mesothelioma arose in the field of prior radiotherapy. No history of asbestos exposure was elicited by careful questioning or by review of chest radiographs. Examination of lung tissue in one patient showed 250 ferruginous bodies per gram of lung tissue, consistent with no significant prior exposure. The mean interval between radiation treatment for Hodgkin’s disease and development of mesothelioma was 15 years, which emphasizes the need for continued follow-up and evaluation of these patients and supports a causal relationship. CONCLUSION: Mesothelioma may need to be added to the list of second malignancies that arise following radiation therapy for Hodgkin’s disease. Further support is given to a causal link between radiation exposure and mesothelioma.

What You Should Know Before Buying Furniture at Auctions
Auctions are great for finding unique furniture at bargain prices, but before buying furniture at an auction familiarize yourself with the process.
There are many obvious benefits to buying furniture at an auction. You can get furniture at real bargain prices and sometimes you have access to furniture or other objects that you wouldn’t normally come across.
Yet, if you are going to an auction for the first time, the quick pace and having to make split second decisions can seem slightly intimidating at first. Knowing and understanding the process will make it easier for you to make savvy bids.
Inventory Sources
While all kinds of items end up on the auction block, the inventory gets there from many very different sources such as:
- Liquidators
- Private companies
- Homeowners who want to get some extra cash
- Charities
- Estates
- Government agencies also put up impounded or lost and found items.
- You can search online for furniture auctions. A great search resource is Live Auction Talk
- Look for notices in newspapers.
- Ask around at antique or used furniture stores.
- Subscribe with auction houses to be informed of upcoming events.
Finding Auctions
Auctions can be held at many different sites. Estate auctions can be held on the site of the estate, other types can be held at auction houses, hotels, community centers or even online.
What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the mesothelium, which is a membrane that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. In most cases, it begins in the pleura (the lining around the lungs) or peritoneum (the lining around the abdomen). The cancer is typically caused by asbestos exposure. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in about 70 to 80 percent of all cases of the disease. Standard treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Mesothelioma is a benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous) tumor affecting the mesothelium, which is a membrane that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Most cases of mesothelioma begin in the pleura (lining around the lungs) or peritoneum (the lining around the abdomen).
Benign mesothelioma can also be called a fibroma, and cancerous mesothelioma is also known as malignant mesothelioma. A mesothelioma can further be named based on where it occurs. For example, malignant pleural mesothelioma is cancer that begins in the lining around the lungs.
Most people who develop malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles. A benign mesothelioma does not appear to have any relationship to asbestos exposure.
No matter where you are located, businesses seem to clamor to host your website. The top hosting positions among these companies are not only hard to award, but hard to define as well. There are simply too many needs to be met for too many different websites to conclusively have ideal criteria for a hosting website. All top hosting contenders do meet standard requirements for standard hosting services, and overseas companies often will meet these needs for a lower price than US or Europe based competitors, but should hosting be outsourced overseas?
Why the Difference in Price
Foreign web hosting offers the same packages as top hosting companies for considerably less cost in most cases. While some overseas companies may simply be offering low rates as a sales ploy, other offer rates that adequately reflect the cost of living in that country. Overhead costs can be tremendously lower in countries such as India or Pakistan , which means the web hosting services can be offered for less.
This makes it difficult to determine the best route for selecting top hosting companies based solely on price. Low prices can be tempting, but there is always the question of quality. Do the budget services offer the same level of service? Like all things, that answer simply depends on the company. Overall, webmasters should not write off or immediately sign up for foreign hosting companies simply based on rates. There are many other determining factors to consider.
Location, Location, Location
Much like real estate, location matters. The closer your server is to your clients, the faster those clients will be able to access your website. Even in a virtual existence, the physical distance between servers and end users can make a difference. Most internet marketers target United States and European citizens, so by hosting halfway around the globe, website response time for target demographics may be adversely affected.
Customer Service
Many foreign companies are highly trained in customer service and are highly respectful of customers and other individuals. Customer, in this case meaning webmasters, care is a top priority for most of these companies as they realize they must work a bit harder than top hosting companies in the United States to garner the same level of respect and reputation.
Having stated that, hosting in countries with different customs as well as time zones can also be frustrating for webmasters. The same problems that complicate any sort of outsourcing affect web hosting as well. Communication gaps, misunderstandings, and difficulty finding a common time to work together, despite the claims of 24/7 service, can all plague individuals outsourcing hosting. These problems, of course, are not a guaranteed byproduct of overseas hosting, but rather should be determined on an individual basis.
