Skin Cancer Melanoma Surgical and Medical Treatment

May 22010

Dr. James L. Campbell Jr., MD discusses Skin Cancer Melanoma Surgical and Medical Treatment. See more at http://www.dermnet.com PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!!!
Surgical intervention and medical management Stages are defined in the table as shown For stage IA disease, surgical intervention might be the only necessary therapy with a 1.0-cm margin.

Re-excision with a 1.0-cm margin is recommended for tumors up to 2.0 mm thick and a margin of 2.0 cm is recommended for tumors up to 4.0 mm thick. Ulceration increases the risk of a lesion as the

Breslow level can be underestimated. Sentinel node biopsy should be considered for stage IB and all stage II patients, patients with melanomas greater than 1 mm in histologic depth. The number of

involved regional nodes is a stronger predictor of survival than the size of involved nodes. Sentinel lymph node status predicts both the risk of recurrence and mortality as shown. The therapeutic

benefit of lymph node biopsy and thus removal of microscopic metastases is currently under study. For stages IIB, IIC and III, adjuvant treatment is often recommended with high-dose interferon.

Oncology referral and/or tumor board review should be considered.

Jesus Christ Security

April 122010

The Jesus Christ Security Foundation was formed to fight the menace and effects of social exclusion. The purpose of the Foundation is, among others, the re-socialization of homeless individuals who have addictions not only to psychoactive drugs, but also to behaviors and people.

The method used by the Foundation is comprehensive in character. The entire process of re-adaptation consists of successive steps such as: motivation for treatment and healing, counselling and therapeutic interaction as well as on-going assistance and strengthening of those re-socialization effects that have been achieved.

Separate institutions which form The Jesus Christ Security Foundation are called upon to realize these goals. They may be considered as elements of the Foundations counseling system. The Foundation bases its work on the voluntary payment of room and board. The Foundation already has several branches in Poland; in Boguszowie- Gorcach, Cieszynie, Krotoszynie, Jarocinie, Kamiennej Górze, Świebodzicach, Wałbrzychu, Stargardzie Szczecińskim, Strzelinie and Wierzchowicach. The Foundation works together with local town and city councils to realize the goal of co-operation and action against social exclusion. We want to create respectable and dignified conditions for those under our care in which they may be able to obtain not just physical help but first and foremost psychological and therapeutic help.

We want to provide help to those in need. We do not want to passively watch the progressive impoverishment and degeneration of our local society. We want to create a real home for those under our care so that they may know they are needed in society and that they can function normally in it. Todays reality is that almost every Polish family is touched by addiction, co-dependency, unemployment and even homelessness.

The people under our care are individuals with various kinds of problems and do not have any income. Because of this we try to find resources to support them. We ask for help which can allow us to broaden our ministry and at the same time limit the progressive impoverishment of that part of society touched by unemployment and the inability to adjust in society. On behalf of those in our care and in the name of our Foundation we are extremely thankful for all help we receive.

The Mind-Benders: LSD and the Hallucinogens (Part 1)

April 62010

Lysergic acid diethylamide, abbreviated LSD or LSD-25, also known as lysergide and colloquially as acid, is a semisynthetic psychedelic drug of the ergoline and tryptamine families. LSD is non-addictive, non-toxic, and is well known for its psychological effects which can include altered thinking processes, closed and open eye visuals, synaesthesia, a sense of time distortion, ego death and spiritual experiences, as well as for its key role in 1960s counterculture. It is used mainly by psychonauts as an entheogen, recreational drug and as an agent in psychedelic therapy.

LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hofmann in 1938 from ergot, a grain fungus that typically grows on rye. The short form LSD comes from its early code name LSD-25, which is an abbreviation for the German “Lysergsäure-diethylamid” followed by a sequential number. LSD is sensitive to oxygen, ultraviolet light, and chlorine, especially in solution, though its potency may last for years if it is stored away from light and moisture at low temperature. In pure form it is a colorless, odorless, and mildly bitter solid. LSD is typically delivered orally, usually on a substrate such as absorbent blotter paper, a sugar cube, or gelatin. In its liquid form, it can also be administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection. LSD is very potent, with 2030 µg (micrograms) being the threshold dose.

Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories, with trade-name Delysid, as a drug with various psychiatric uses in 1947, LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great promise. However, the emerging recreational use of the drug by youth culture in the Western world during the 1960s led to a political firestorm that resulted in its prohibition. A number of organizations—including the Beckley Foundation, MAPS, Heffter Research Institute and the Albert Hofmann Foundation—exist to fund, encourage and coordinate research into its medicinal uses.

LSD was first synthesized on November 16, 1938 by Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz Laboratories in Basel, Switzerland as part of a large research program searching for medically useful ergot alkaloid derivatives. LSD’s psychedelic properties were discovered 5 years later when Hofmann accidentally ingested an unknown quantity of the chemical. The first intentional ingestion of LSD occurred on April 19, 1943, when Dr. Hofmann ingested 250 µg of LSD. He hypothesized this would be a threshold dose based on the dosages of other ergot alkaloids. Hofmann found the effects to be much stronger than he anticipated. Sandoz Laboratories introduced LSD as a psychiatric drug in 1947.

Beginning in the 1950s the US Central Intelligence Agency began a research program code named Project MKULTRA. Experiments included administering LSD to CIA employees, military personnel, doctors, other government agents, prostitutes, mentally ill patients, and members of the general public in order to study their reactions, usually without the subject’s knowledge. The project was revealed in the US congressional Rockefeller Commission report in 1975.

In 1963 the Sandoz patents expired on LSD. Also in 1963, the US Food and Drug Administration classified LSD as an Investigational New Drug, which meant new restrictions on medical and scientific use. Several figures, including Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, and Al Hubbard, began to advocate the use of LSD. LSD became central to the counterculture of the 1960s. On October 24, 1968, possession of LSD was made illegal in the United States. The last FDA approved human study with LSD, for use in dying cancer patients, ended in 1980. Legally approved and regulated psychiatric use of LSD continued in Switzerland until 1993. Today, medical research is resuming around the world.
