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.
Then boiled and agitated in hot water and suds. Thus, shrinking the fabric without the use of chemicals. The result is tighter and more dense and will have shrunk from twenty to fifty percent. Wool that has been boiled/felted is thought to be warmer, more durable and windproof. If you have ever accidentally shrunk a wool sweater in hot water you are witness to the process of boiled wool. In strictly woven fabrics, as opposed to knits, there is a similar wool finishing process called fulling.
