large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma lung :: Article Creator Small-Cell And Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: What's The Difference? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among both men and women. Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are the two main types of lung cancer. Most lung cancers are NSCLC. Only about 15% of lung cancers are SCLC. Their names stem from what their cells look like when you look at them under a microscope. SCLC cells look round and undersized in comparison to NSCLC cells. But the big difference is how aggressive they are. SCLC is more aggressive than NSCLC and often spreads to other parts of your body. Here are the facts about SCLC and NSCLC and how they differ. Small-cell lung cancer is when abnormal cells in your lung grow fast and uncontrollably. It's an aggressive form of cancer that often starts in your airways and then spreads, or metastasizes, to other parts of your ...

Canongate; 400 pages; £18.99. I N A TALK she gave to the Royal Society of Literature in 2010, Hilary Mantel offered some advice to would-be authors of historical fiction. "Learn to tolerate strange world views," she said: Get our daily newsletter Upgrade your inbox and get our Daily Dispatch and Editor's Picks. Don't pervert the values of the past. Women in former eras were downtrodden and frequently assented to it. Generally speaking, our ancestors were not tolerant, liberal or democratic…Can you live with that? In his sixth novel, "To Calais, In Ordinary Time", James Meek seems to have taken Ms Mantel's interdiction as a challenge. This is a book that seeks to compress the distance between past and present,...

Chikungunya virus linked to joint pain that persists for years after initial infection, finds US study - EdexLive Chikungunya virus linked to joint pain that persists for years after initial infection, finds US study - EdexLive Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:42 AM PDT A new method for permanently marking cells infected with chikungunya virus could reveal how joint pain from the disease persists for months to years after the initial infection, says a study published in the science journal PLOS Pathogens. Chikungunya is an arbovirus - a term used to describe viruses spread by insects - and its genetic component is the single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), as opposed to the double-stranded DNA. The virus is spread by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, and the disease usually starts with sudden fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, joint and muscular pain, and rashes. "There is neither any vaccine nor drugs available to cure the chikung...

SEARCH BY SCHOOL: More than 5,000 students in Little Rock School District chronically absent for year - Arkansas Online SEARCH BY SCHOOL: More than 5,000 students in Little Rock School District chronically absent for year - Arkansas Online Posted: 11 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT The number of Little Rock School District students chronically absent from school this past year -- missing 18 days or more for reasons both excused and unexcused -- topped 5,000. That is nearly 1 in every 4 students who missed what amounts to two or more days a month each month of the school year. At the five high schools, the number of chronically absent students topped 2,000, or 1 in every 3 students. And the numbers and percentages of the chronically absent at individual schools can be even more breathtaking. At Hall High, there were 553 chronically absent students, which accounted for 53% of the student body. At J.A. Fair, there were 374 chronically absent studen...

That's just par for the course for Phish fans, who braved some travel headaches, health hazards and housing hullabaloo for the jam band's annual Labor Day weekend shows at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. This month concerns about fleas and prairie dogs infected with the pneumonic plague forced the venue to cancel camping outside the venue, where some 3,000 people planned to set up for the weekend. Parking lots also were closed, diverting show-goers into an overflow lot down the street at Northfield Stapleton Mall. The late-breaking news caused thousands of people to change their plans, but stressing about sleeping is n...
