An increased ACTH result can mean that a person has Cushing disease, Addison disease, or ectopic ACTH-producing tumors. A decreased ACTH result can be due to an adrenal tumor, steroid medication, or hypopituitarism.
All fabrics will burn, but some are more combustible than others. Untreated natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk burn more readily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. The weight and weave of the fabric will affect how easily the material will ignite and burn. Fabrics with a tight weave - wool, modacrylic, 100 percent polyester and those that are flame-retardant treated are good choices.
In addition to it s warmth and durability, there are many unique and important characteristics that set Wool apart from other fibers. Wool is inherently flame retardant, and it won t melt. Unlike other fibers that are used for bedding, wool can be made so that it will never burn. Wool helps to regulate body temperature. Its thermostatic properties protect the body from both cold and heat.
