MESOTHELIOMA MEANS
mesothelioma is membrane that covers and protects most of the internal organs of the body. It is composed of two layers of cells. One layer immediately surrounds the organ, the other forms a sac around it. mesothelioma produces a lubricating fluid that is released between these layers, allowing moving organs to glide easily against adjacent structures.
mesothelioma has different names, depending upon its location in the body. Peritoneum is the mesothelial tissue that covers most of the organs in the abdominal cavity. Pleura is membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines, the wall of the chest cavity. pericardium covers and protects the heart.
mesothelial tissue surrounding the male internal reproductive organs is called the tunica vaginalis testis. tunica serosa uteri covers the internal reproductive organs in women.

US software giant Microsoft launched a free online home energy monitoring tool on Wednesday that allows consumers to gauge their usage and reduce consumption.
Microsoft Hohm, available as a beta, or test, version in the US at Microsoft-hohm.com, lets users "better understand their energy usage, get recommendations and start saving money," Microsoft said.
Microsoft said the tool uses advanced analytics licensed from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the US Department of Energy.
It said Hohm provides suggestions for energy conservation based on home energy input data and feedback contributed by users.
Savings recommendations can range from caulking windows to removing air leaks to installing a programmable thermostat, Microsoft said.
Microsofts launcs of Hohm comes a month after Google announced that it had partnered with energy companies in six US states, Canada and India in "smart meter" software which allows consumers to monitor their home electricity usage.
The Google Power meter can tell residents which devices or appliances in their homes are being electricity hogs and which are being frugal with energy.
