Important Things To Know About Different Types Of Cancer Treatments

Cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases that can affect anyone. Thousands of people die every year due to cancer in different parts of the body. Irrespective of huge progression of medical science, this is a disease that is hardly detected at an earlier stage. As a result, the chances of survival and recovery are very rare. Though scientists are carrying out research in order to find effective cancer treatment, yet they have not been successful in finding out treatment solutions that can completely help in the recovery of the patient. Only the survival chances for few more years could be enhanced with the help of these different treatment solutions.
Facts Of Lung Cancer:
Among the different kinds of cancers prevalent in human beings, lung cancer contributes to the greatest rates of deaths in both men and women across the world. There are of course several factors that can lead to lung cancer, but it has often been found that cigarette cancer is largely responsible for this form of cancer. There are again two different types of cancers in the lung that requires different kinds of cancer treatments. One of these is lung cancer of the small cells, while the other one is lung cancers of the non-small cells.
Stage And Treatment:
A person might be detected with at different stage. The stage actually refers to the extent to which the cancer cells have spread into different areas of the lungs. Different tests are being conducted in accordance with the symptoms to recognize the stage of cancer, and on the basis of that the ideal lung cancer treatment is considered by the oncologist for the sufferer. Unfortunately, lung cancer is detected at a very advanced stage, due to which the chances of survival is also quite low or nil.
Different Forms Of Treatment:
The treatment offered to the patient can vary based on the condition of the patient and the severity of the condition. While surgery is often thought of as an ideal solution, often a combination of surgery and other therapies like chemotherapy and radiation therapy can help in increasing the survival chances. In the recent years, several experimental methods are also tried out on the patients, to check out if these conditions prove to be effective, at all. Therefore, in order to prevent cancer, it is very important to stop smoking at the earliest.

Yale’s “We Suck” prank

Each year, a college football rivalry game between Yale University and Harvard University takes place. For the game in 2004, approximately twenty Yale students disguised themselves as the fictitious “Harvard Pep Squad” and handed out signs to Harvard fans. At a coordinated time, the organizers behind the prank instructed the Harvard fans to display the cards in unison, which they claimed spelled out “GO HARVARD” but in fact spelled “WE SUCK”. The result of the prank was that the Harvard fans then displayed a message saying “WE SUCK”, visible to the entire stadium and eventually garnering large coverage in national media.

SkiFree

SkiFree is a computer game created by Chris Pirih, a Microsoft programmer, that was released in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack software bundle. A relatively simple skiing game, it is best remembered for the “Abominable Snowman” that appears after the player has completed the course. The yeti-like creature attempts to chase down and then eat the skier. Pirih had originally created the game for his own personal use, but a manager at Microsoft saw him playing it and requested that Microsoft be able to release the game commercially. In recent years, Pirih has developed an updated version of the game compatible with 32 bit operating systems.

Shadow people

Shadow people are supernatural beings or creatures that, unlike ghosts, do not possess human features. A feeling of dread often accompanies reports of encounters with shadow people, and the forms do not attempt to communicate or provide a feeling as being in the presence of something that was once living. They are commonly described as two-dimensional with erratic movements. If eyes are mentioned, they are commonly glowing and red. Pareidolia, hypnagogia, chemical agents (narcotics), electromagnetic fields, and neurological conditions are some of the scientific explanations given to shadow people sightings.

There is a huge vault that keeps the secret to Coca-Cola.



After almost 90 years the Coca-Cola Company has finally risked taking its ultra-secret recipe out of a bank vault to put it on display at their corporate museum.
However, any rivals hoping to get a glimpse at the list of ingredients in a bid to topple the soft-drink giant from its world-leading perch will be disappointed.
The formula, which dates back to 1886, is enclosed inside a metal box that is itself locked inside a new high-tech vault at the company's World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta.
In the can: Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent holds the metal box that supposedly contains the secret recipe, which has been moved from a bank vault to the company's Atlanta museum

Look familiar? The vault at Coke's corporate museum is a red and silver-coloured cylindrical can design... wonder where they got that idea!

Since 1925 the formula has been kept under lock and key at SunTrust Banks Inc and the move ties in with the company's 125th anniversary.
However, there have been suggestions in the U.S that the move follows SunTrust's decision in 2007 to slowly begin selling its shares in Coca-Cola, although both companies have denied that.
The bank, which provided underwriting services to Coca-Cola when it went public in 1919 and received some of Coca-Cola's first publicly traded stock, at one time held more than 48 million Coca-Cola shares.
In May 2007, SunTrust sold nine per cent of its holdings in Coca-Cola as part of a plan to return value to its own shareholders.
The following year, the bank sold another batch of shares and said that its remaining 30 million Coca-Cola shares were to be put into a structured transaction to be sold in seven years.
Several executives from SunTrust were on hand for the opening of the exhibit.
Smoke and mirrors? Georgia Governor Nathan Deal (centre) and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed (left) are led into the exhibit by Coca Cola chief Muhtar Kent - but is the formula the real thing?

Bank spokesman Mike McCoy said SunTrust was honored to safeguard the formula for as long as it did. He said the relationship between Coca-Cola and SunTrust has enriched the bank's history.
'We're celebrating this as well,' said Mr McCoy.
Coca-Cola boss Muhtar Kent told the crowd at the official unveiling of the exhibit: 'The time has come for our secret formula to come back home.'
Valuable recipe: Coca-Cola Co. sells more than 1.7billion products every day in 200 countries

The crowd at the unveiling watched a video of Mr Kent placing a metal box, which the company says contains the formula, inside a five-foot high safe several days ago and locking it.
Visitors were then escorted through a room full of pictures and historical information about the founding of the company and the secret formula.
That display leads into a cylindrical room, where images of glasses filling with Coca-Cola splash across the walls before lights come on and reveal a giant, metal-encased vault with a keypad and a hand-imprint scanner.
A railing keeps visitors several feet away from the vault door. The vault never opens, and Coke officials wouldn't say if the keypad and hand scanner were there for show or were part of the security measures in place to protect the formula.
The legend of the recipe goes that Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by Atlanta pharmacist John S. Pemberton.
To keep the crucial recipe a secret he did not write it down, and it was only known to a handful of people.  
However, in 1919 the company needed a bank loan and its then-owner Ernest Woodruff was forced to commit the recipe to paper and put up as collateral.
It was kept in a bank vault in New York until the loan was paid back in 1925, at which point Woodruff deposited it at Trust Company Bank, which later became SunTrust.
The recipe's value is illustrated by the fact that some 1.7 billion Coca-Cola products are served every day throughout the world.

Unsinkable Sam

Unsinkable Sam was the nickname given to a ship’s cat who served on board three vessels in World War II and survived the sinking of each ship. He was originally part of the German battleship Bismarck which was sunk in May of 1941. Pulled from the sea by the British destroyerCossack, the cat was nicknamed Oscar and began to serve on board. His new berth sank in late October and he then served on the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal and given the new nickname Unsinkable Sam. Again he was rescued at sea after the carrier was torpedoed in mid November. Sam was thereafter retired from active sea duty and spent the majority of the remainder of his life in Belfast.
