Experts with Stucco Repair in Atlanta, The Painting Penguin, Note That Stucco Has Its Own Paint
2014-04-18
Stucco is an incredibly special material that needs special care throughout its lifetime. Part of that special care, according to The Painting Penguin, is using stucco-specific paint whenever you want to refresh its color. Unlike most exterior paints, acrylic-based stucco paints are actually designed to protect stucco without it losing any of its breathability. This breathability keeps stucco from cracking, splitting and peeling, which is why it is so essential to use stucco-specific paint. Stucco paint also is designed for easy use on stucco's naturally rough texture. The ...

Chronic inflammation may be linked to aggressive prostate cancer

2014-04-18
PHILADELPHIA — The presence of chronic inflammation in benign prostate tissue was associated with high-grade, or aggressive, prostate cancer, and this association was found even in those with low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, according to a study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. An analysis of prostate tissue biopsies collected from some participants of the placebo arm of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) found that those whose benign prostate tissue had chronic inflammation ...

Chronic inflammation linked to 'high-grade' prostate cancer

2014-04-18
Men who show signs of chronic inflammation in non-cancerous prostate tissue may have nearly twice the risk of actually having prostate cancer than those with no inflammation, according to results of a new study led by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. The link between persistent inflammation and cancer was even stronger for men with so-called high-grade prostate cancer — those with a Gleason score between 7 and 10 — indicating the presence of the most aggressive and rapidly growing prostate cancers. "What we've shown in this observational study ...

Study sheds light on how the immune system protects children from malaria

Study sheds light on how the immune system protects children from malaria
2014-04-18
According to a study published today in PLOS Pathogens, children who live in regions of the world where malaria is common can mount an immune response to infection with malaria parasites that may enable them to avoid repeated bouts of high fever and illness and partially control the growth of malaria parasites in their bloodstream. The findings may help researchers develop future interventions that prevent or mitigate the disease caused by the malaria parasite. Each year, approximately 200 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, resulting in roughly 627,000 deaths (mostly ...
