Video 360 Degree On YouTube

Defenition

   360-degree VR (360-degree virtual reality) is an audiovisual simulation of an altered,augmented or substituted environment that surrounds the user, allowing them to look around them in all directions, just as they can in real life.

There are a number of types of 360-degree VR, including live and previously captured video or real-time, real-time rendered 3D games, and pre-rendered computer graphics imagery (CGI).  

CGI-based VR games and computer hardware have been capable of supporting VR for years and visual quality is always increasing, to the point that the need to pre-render graphics is questionable. This is an important improvement because having to pre-render graphics limits the interactivity of the simulated world. Nevertheless, for the highest visual fidelity and realistic lighting, the same computer hardware can produce a better, more complex image when given more time to work on a frame of animation. However, to produce pre-rendered CGI, the time required is multiplied by the number of views required to render a scene.

Although the hardware to create 360-degree VR has existed for years, the technology for the user experience hasn’t until recently. A decent user experience can be created using multiple projectors but this is an expensive, bulky, power hungry and hot way to experience VR. Currently available 360-degree VR consumer systems include Oculus Rift, Morpheus, HoloLens and Vive & Gear.

TYPES OF PULMONARY DISEASE

1. Pneumonia (pneumonia)

      One of the types of lung disease that is dangerous is also known as pneumonia or pneumonia. Pneumonia can arise in different regions of the lung. Lobar pneumonia attack a large chunk of lobe or lung. Lobar pneumonia is a form of pneumonia that affects a large area and is constantly on the lobe of the lung.

In addition, there is also the so-called tuft bronchopneumonia which attacks tissue in one or both lungs.

2. Pleural effusion

         Excess fluid in the double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs called pleural effusion. The two layers of the membrane lining the lung or pleura lubricated by a little fluid allows the lungs to expand and contract with a smooth chest wall. Infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis, heart failure, and some cancers can cause fluid collection in the pleura. The number could reach three liters pressing the lungs.

3.Pneumothorax

        Pneumothorax is a disease that is found in the membrane of the lung or pleura is called. Pneumothorax occurs if one or both pleural membranes pierced and air into the pleural cavity causing the lung to deflate. Pleural membranes are separated by a very thin layer of pleural fluid that lubricates their movements. A pressure balance between the chest wall, pleural lining, and lung tissue allows the lungs "sucked" into the chest wall.

In pneumothorax, the air into the pleural cavity. A pressure balance is changing and lungs deflate. If more air into the cavity but was not able to get out, the pressure around the higher lung can be life-threatening.

Spontaneous pneumothorax can occur due to rupture of the alveoli are abnormally enlarged on the surface of the lungs or as a result of lung conditions, such as asthma. Another cause is a broken rib and chest injuries.

How To Treat The Disease Asbestosis

      

LUNGS HEALTHY

There are many types of diseases, it all happened due to many factors, ranging from customs, lifestyles, backgrounds to work. Everything influence on our health. Here will be discussed a disease that has to do with work, especially those who work in asbestos company or a construction worker with building materials. The name of the disease is asbestosis. Here is explained in more detail on the definition of asbestosis, asbestosi causes, symptoms and how to treat asbestosis asbestosis this.

      One way to treat Asbestosis is the medical way, some medical treatments that can be given drugs to facilitate breathing is disrupted by this asbestosis. Other drugs are several types of cough medicines can be given. Types of medicines are commonly used to treat this disease asbestosis is as follows:

Bronchodilator or inhaler. These drugs are usually prescribed for patients with asthma, an inhaler helps relax the muscles of the airways.

Giving Oxygen. Oxygen is provided to assist breathing and get more oxygen needed by the body through the lungs. Oxygen is supplied from the tank through a plastic hose which has two branches that go into your nostrils.

Antibiotic drugs. Antibiotics can be given if asbestosis should be treated surgically, antibiotics may be given to mengeurangi pain and also to prevent infection.

Pain reliever medicine: a kind of drug Aspirin and Tylenol dipat given to reduce pain and inflammation caused by the disease asbestosis.

Disease Asbestosis is a disease to watch out especially for those of you who work in the production of basic building material asbestos. A brief explanation about the causes, symptoms and how to treat this asbestosi may be beneficial for you.

The Killer Called Asbestosis

 Behind the function of asbestos cheap and practical, there is a risk of dangerous diseases. This disease will attack in the long term, when the accumulation of asbestos in the body has become toxic. The use of asbestos for the roof of the house is still conducted by the public.

Asbestosis Slowly Can Kill You

When seeing a city from above, it will be obvious how much asbestos is still used in part of society as a roofing material.

Asbestos is usually used by low-income people. This move is an effort to save costs because asbestos is cheaper than tile.

Asbestos also has the advantage, lighter and can be used for roofs with low slope. However, behind the benefits, asbestos is harmful to human health.

Has long been known that asbestos can cause several diseases. There are at least three diseases caused by asbestos dust.

First, mesothelioma, a cancer that attacks the sheath malignant lung, stomach sheath, or sheath of the heart. Second, lung cancer. Third, the disease asbestosis. These three diseases are often fatal and lead to death.

Warnings about the dangers of asbestos was raised again recently by the Head of the Environmental Management Agency (BPLHD), West Java, Setiawan Wangsa Atmaja. He warned of the dangers of asbestos in the 10 to 20 years, when the accumulation of this substance in the body turns into toksit or toxins.

At the event, entitled "Dissemination of Asbestos Waste Management", he explained, referring to the experience of the use of asbestos in developed countries in Europe and Japan, found that a number of people there impaired as a result of asbestos disease.

The occurrence of the disease, according to Soemirat July, lecturer at the National Institute of Technology Environmental Engineering (ITENAS) Bandung, when it gets into the lungs, asbestos particles will stick or puncture the lung cells because the body can not remove and destroy this patikel.

The accumulation of particles after so many years can lead to lung cells die thereby disrupting the lungs.

In developed countries such as France, Japan, and Australia, asbestos has been declared as controlled substances to be used, both for roofing, brake, plasterboard, and other refractory devices.

"But in Indonesia, asbestos is still widely used and traded," he said. Inhalation easily Benny Shah, lecturer of Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang, explained Asbestos is a mineral that form fibers separate easily.

The size of the asbestos fibers are very small and subtle so easy to fly in the air. "When inhaled, asbestos will soon go into the respiratory cavity, then cause various organ damage," he said.

The release of these fibers occurs when the displacement of the temperature from hot to cold or vice versa, cold to hot.

This condition will affect more severely the use of asbestos as a roof that was not given ceiling basically. Fractional asbestos fibers will be easily inhaled in large quantities because there are no obstructions.

Beny said blend of asbestos and patchwork are widely used in Indonesia is getting easier for the release of asbestos elements.

As a result, when exposed to heat, dust more easily inhaled asbestos humans around. Asbestos products that exist today holds 94 percent of the materials kritatil (chrysotile) or magnesium silicate hydroxide with a mixture of compounds in the form of Mg6 (OH) 6 (Si4O11) H2O.

This material is obtained by mining. In nature to the body, this substance is carcinogenic or a precursor to cancer. Cancer of this material will attack the lung cavity, chest, and abdomen.

In the case in Japan, exposure to asbestos particles that lasts longer had cause death. In 1995, 500 people died, and in 2003 increased to 878 cases.

Based on the investigation, asbestos user will generally experience a disease caused by asbestos contamination.

Asbestos that has heat resistant properties and acid resistance is often used for roofs and some other household purposes. In Japan, the use of asbestos has been banned since 2005.

Japan then intensively conducted research to replace asbestos materials. Benny said referring to the experience of European countries and Japan, the process of asbestos poisoning occurs indirectly.

This process takes several years, waiting for the accumulation kristatil, which is a kind of volcanic ash material quartz sand were small and not visible.

More Dangerous A study conducted by Irving Selikoff of Texas, US, related to the dangers of asbestos in the lungs results in the fact that asbestos is more dangerous than cigarettes.

The reason, of his research, he found 869 patients with asbestosis, lung cancer, colon and stomach cancer, 300 of whom claimed to have worked in the asbestos factory.

Meanwhile, Cleopas Martin Rumende of Pulmonology Division of Medicine Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia said that based on his experience, the number of patients with lung disorders can be said is still minimal or no symptoms of diseases caused by the use of the asbestos roof.

"It's rare," he said. Martin said that to determine how much asbestos endanger public health, there should be more intense study.

However, he continued, the risk of disease will be easier for those who work in asbestos factory. As for the community of users of asbestos, the case is still rare.

The easiest step to prevent the workers from the dangers of diseases caused by asbestos, according to Martin, is to stay away from this material.

"At least the avoidance of exposure to asbestos dust," he said. The reason, they are affected by lung disease usually have a genetic history.

Family genetic history of asthma or allergic asthma sufferers will usually cause a person prone to lung disease. "Those who have a greater risk factor should avoid from exposure to asbestos particles," he concluded.

Asbestos, Characteristics and Health Problems Caused

       Actually, asbestosis is not a cancer. Asbestosis is caused someone inhaling asbestos fibers that irritate lung tissue, causing injury to the lung tissue. This scar tissue resulting in difficulty breathing because the oxygen and carbon dioxide through the lungs difficult. Asbestosis generally progresses slowly. Asbestosis latency period for onset is usually 10-20 years after initial exposure. This disease can vary from asymptomatic (without symptoms) to get can be fatal to health. Some signs and ejala asbestosis can include: shortness of breath as the main symptoms, coughing, chest tightness, chest pain, loss of appetite, dry crackling sound occurs in the lungs while breathing.

Asbestos But what exactly is it? Here are the various properties and characteristics of asbestos materials that are important to know.

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral with the name of a group of separate fibers, long and thin. Asbestos fibers have strong potential to be released in the air. Asbestos fibers are heat resistant, so it is widely used for industrial purposes. Because of their durability, asbestos fibers get into the lung tissue will continue to persist in the lungs for a long time.

Generally there are two types of asbestos, amphibole and chrysotile. Several studies suggest that amphibole fibers have the ability to stay longer in the lungs than chrysotile l. Based on the trends, so that this kind of this substance to be toxic to the body.

Meanwhile, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are six types of asbestos minerals, with most types namely chrysotile and amphibole five types of groups, ie actinolite, tremolite, anthophyllite, crocidolite, and amosite.

The threshold value of asbestos concentration in the ambient air in the range from 00,001 to 0.0001 fibers per milliliter (fiber / mL). If the threshold value is exceeded will be at risk to the effects on human health.

Asbestos fibers can only be seen with a microscope. For some reason, causing the fibers suspended in the air, they can be easily inhaled when we breathe and enter the lungs. Scientists have recognized asbestos as a health threat to humans because the fibers can be inhaled into the lungs and can cause cancer and other lung diseases. This risk is increased especially when we are in an environment exposed to asbestos dust in the long term. Unknown incubation period is a time lag between when inhaling causing health manifestations may last for 30 years or more.

Between 1945 and 1980, asbestos materials are often used in the construction industry in Australia. Over time, people began to realize that this material is highly toxic, and its use was reduced, until finally banned altogether since December 31, 2003. However, there are still many who are at risk of asbestos-related malignancies, especially construction workers.

Asbestos material is very toxic and can lead to a number of lung diseases, which can be deadly.

Although it has been banned in Australia, there may appear a number of people suffering from lung diseases related to asbestos, especially among construction workers home.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral group made of crystals of very small size and fibrous, including chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite. Asbestos is derived from underground.

Some twenty years ago in Australia, asbestos is used for various construction purposes, such as to create a fireproof building, and is also used in the manufacture of roofing.

Asbestos fibers are so small as to be inhaled to enter the lungs. These fibers can then be embedded in the lungs and cause potentially deadly disease, such as shrinking lung and lung cancer mesothelioma.

Thousands of Australians have died from asbestos-related diseases.

The symptoms of lung disease may be visible only after 20-30 years may pass after exposure to asbestos. The most-risk are those exposed to asbestos while working in the mining, manufacturing, and construction. Currently, the most at risk in Australia are those who work demolish the old buildings still contain asbestos.

Inhalation of asbestos fibers can hurt and thicken the lining of the lung pleura. The pleura is injured can also pull fluid into the cavity between the two layers of the pleura.

Pleural disease is not harmful, but may cause difficulty in breathing.

While the disease asbestosis is wound in the lung caused by exposure to asbestos. Symptoms include a dry cough and a bluish hue to the skin, due to lack of oxygen.

Lung cancer is more likely to occur in those who smoke and are also exposed to asbestos. Symptoms include coughing, weight loss and blood in the saliva and phlegm. In general, the sooner the better diagnosed. Lung cancer is still in its early stages can sometimes be treated with surgery.

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lung lining. A bit of exposure to asbestos can lead to this, but not that exposed to asbestos mesothelioma certainly entailed.

Currently there is no way to cure mesothelioma.

Related to home remodeling, products with asbestos is left undisturbed and intact relatively safe, but dangerous when it is cut, drilled, or sanded, because through such a process can be broken down and the asbestos fibers inhaled. Prior to renovate and demolish the house, it is important to find out which products in the home that contain asbestos.

This article was reviewed by Dr. Bruce Robinson of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Sir Charles Gardener Hospital and Director of the Center of National Asbestos Related Diseases.

Asbestosis Definition

Asbestosis Definition

 Description

    Asbestosis is a consequence of prolonged exposure to large quantities of asbestos, a material once widely used in construction, insulation, and manufacturing. When asbestos is inhaled, fibers penetrate the breathing passages an
d irritate, fill, inflame, and scar lung tissue. In advanced asbestosis,, the lungs shrink, stiffen, and become honeycombed (riddled with tiny holes).
     Legislation has reduced use of asbestos in the United States, but workers who handle automobile brake shoe linings, boiler insulation, ceiling acoustic tiles, electrical equipment, and fire-resistant materials are still exposed to the substance. Asbestos is used in the production of paints and plastics. Significant amounts can be released into the atmosphere when old buildings or boats are razed or remodeled.
    Asbestosis is most common in men over 40 who have worked in asbestos-related occupations. Smokers or heavy drinkers have the greatest risk of developing this disease. Between 1968 and 1992, more than 10,000 Americans over the age of 15 died as a result of asbestosis. Nearly 25% of those who died lived in California or New Jersey, and most of them had worked in the construction or shipbuilding trades.

   Asbestosis (as-bes-TOE-sis) is a chronic lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Prolonged exposure to these fibers can cause lung tissue scarring and shortness of breath. Asbestosis symptoms can range from mild to severe, and usually don't appear until many years after continued exposure.

   Asbestos is a natural mineral product that's resistant to heat and corrosion. It was used extensively in the past in products such as insulation, cement and some floor tiles.

Most people with asbestosis acquired it on the job before the federal government began regulating the use of asbestos and asbestos products in the 1970s. Today, its handling is strictly regulated. Acquiring asbestosis is extremely unlikely if you follow your employer's safety procedures. Treatment focuses on relieving your symptoms.

When to see a doctor

    If you have a history of exposure to asbestos and you're experiencing increasing shortness of breath, talk to your doctor about the possibility of asbestosis.

Asbestosis : Lung Fibrosis Caused by Asbestos Exposure

Asbestosis : Lung Fibrosis Caused by Asbestos Exposure

       When lung fibrosis is caused by exposure to asbestos it is called asbestosis. This disease should not be confused with pleural mesothelioma (malignant mesothelioma in the lining of the lungs), although some asbestosis victims do later develop mesothelioma. Like mesothelioma, asbestosis is caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers so tiny that the lungs are unable to filter them; these fibers become lodged in the tissue of the lungs, often with deadly consequences. 

 

 

Treatment of Lung Fibrosis

        Treatment for asbestos-related lung fibrosis may include medication for inflammation and oxygen to help with breathing. Excessive fluid buildup (pleural effusion) may be treated through a procedure called thoracentesis. Your physician can provide you with treatment information more specific to your condition.

 

 

Lung Fibrosis vs. Mesothelioma

         Though pulmonary fibrosis and mesothelioma are both caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers, the diseases are very different in nature. Lung fibrosis can be deadly but it is not a form of cancer, whereas mesothelioma is cancer in the lining of a bodily organ.

As a result, lung fibrosis symptoms and mesothelioma symptoms are similar but not necessarily the same, and treatment for the two diseases often varies. Because mesothelioma is a type of cancer, mesothelioma treatment may involve radiation and chemotherapy. This is not the case for lung fibrosis.

The prognosis for patients with pulmonary fibrosis varies, but the prognosis for mesothelioma is always bleak; most mesothelioma patients succumb to the disease within a year.

 

How to Recognize Symptoms

Symptoms of asbestosis generally consist of respiratory problems. The two most common symptoms are coughing and shortness of breath, followed by chest pain and clubbing of the fingers. In the early stages of the disease, people experience shortness of breath and fatigue during physical activity. As the condition progresses, being short of breath even while doing very little becomes an issue. This is usually enough to encourage someone with asbestosis to take the first step in the diagnostic process and schedule an appointment with their primary care physician. 

 

Asbestosis : Lung Disease Due to Asbestos

Asbestosis : Lung Disease Due to Asbestos

          Asbestosis is a lung disease due to the inhalation of asbestos substances to the lungs resulting in severe damage. In some cases the disease asbestosis can develop into lung cancer.

Cause

Inhaled asbestos fibers can lead to the appearance of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the lungs. Lung tissue that forms fibrosis can not inflate and deflate properly. The severity of the disease depends on the amount of fibers are inhaled and duration a person is exposed to asbestos fibers.

Workers in mining, milling, construction, and other industries prone to exposure to asbestos. In addition, asbestos can also contaminate working families through the particles attached to the garment workers who carried to the house.

Other diseases caused by asbestos, among others:

1.  pleural plaques
2.  malignant Mesothelioma
3.  pleural effusion

symptom

Symptoms appear gradually and asbestosis newly emerged only after the formation of scar tissue in large quantities and the lungs lose their elasticity.

    Shortness of breath is an early symptom of the disease emergence
    The ability to move the body is reduced
    Coughing and wheezing
    Chest pain
    Nail abnormalities or clubbing of fingers (fingers form that resembles a drum percussion)

Although rare, asbestos can also lead to tumors in the pleura, called mesotheliomas, or the lining of the abdomen called peritoneal mesothelioma. Mesothelioma usually occurs 30-40 years after exposure.

Treatment

To overcome the symptoms can be treatment with clear mucus from the lungs by way of postural drainage, chest percussion, and vibration. Patients will be given a mucus-thinning drug, if need be given oxygen, either through a plastic hose or facemask. When required to be performed lung transplants. Mesothelioma can be very fatal, even chemotherapy are not very useful and do not cure cancer tumor removal.
