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.
Wool products also use less energy than man-made fibres during manufacture. Sunsafe â wool has naturally high UV protection. Flame retardant â wool fibre has a higher ignition threshold than many other fibres and is flame retardant up to 600Âº C. It also produces less toxic fumes in a fire.urable and elastic â wool fibre can be bent 20,000 times without breaking and still have the power to recover and return to its natural shape. Quality wool garments look good for longer. Easy care â modern wool can be machine-washed; retaining a small amount of natural oil, wool fibre resists dirt and grease.
