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.
Steaming is great option for removing wrinkles from silk curtains. Silk is a heat-sensitive fabric whether it is used in garments or for home decorating uses. A direct heated iron scorches silk, effectively ruining it. To remove wrinkles from silk with an iron, the user must employ a pressing cloth to sit on top on the silk as it is being pressed. With curtains, this can be a time-consuming endeavor. A steam cleaner or steamer makes short work of the task.
