Description: Asbestos. Fibrous incombustible mineral composed of magnesium and calcium silicates with or without other elements. It is relatively inert chemically and used in thermal insulation and fireproofing. Inhalation of dust causes asbestosis and later lung and gastrointestinal neoplasms.

1.	Mesothelioma 01/01/2009 - "There is no effective cure or treatment for any of the lung or pleural asbestos related diseases; malignant mesothelioma has a median survival of just 6-12 months. " 08/01/1995 - "Most malignant mesothelioma cases are associated with pulmonary asbestos body (AB) counts significantly greater than those of the general population. " 05/20/1978 - "A study of the occupational histories of 52 females with malignant mesothelioma and certain of their relatives, carried out to measure the risk of this disorder attributable to indirect asbestos exposure, showed that a significantly greater number of husbands and fathers of cases than of controls worked in asbestos-related industries, and the relative risk for this factor was 10. " 08/15/2008 - "Some authors have suggested that the increase in mesothelioma rate with TSFE might be attenuated by clearance of asbestos from the lungs. " 01/01/2008 - "Mesothelioma mortality was based on cumulative exposure and time since first exposure, with the inclusion of a term for clearance of asbestos fibres from the lung.

2.	Asbestosis 06/01/1989 - "Significantly greater numbers of BAL neutrophils were also found in asbestos-exposed workers without asbestosis than in either smoking or nonsmoking control subjects. " 01/01/2009 - "The radiographic gold-standard for diagnosis of asbestosis has been the plain chest radiograph, and in many asbestosis-screening clinics, chest radiograph abnormalities in conjunction with a history of asbestos exposure have been the mainstay of diagnosis. " 07/01/1985 - "Bronchoalveolar lavage and clearance of 99m-Tc-DTPA in asbestos workers without evidence of asbestosis." 07/01/2009 - "The aim of this study was to describe the most relevant parameters of asbestos exposure linked to pleural plaques and asbestosis diagnosed by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). " 05/01/2009 - "CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates a clear association between asbestos consumption and deaths from asbestosis and indicates that asbestosis deaths are not expected to decrease sharply in the next 10-15 years."

3.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 01/01/2007 - "In addition there was a significant reduction of Asbestos and Hg from cancer cells, while markedly reduced normal cell telomere of lyg was increased to optimally high amounts of 500-530ng BDORTunits. " 06/01/1987 - "However, the work group does not believe that information was sufficient to assess the level of cancer risk associated with the ingestion and therefore, this potential hazard should not be discounted, and ingestion exposure to asbestos should be eliminated whenever possible." 08/15/2008 - "The different trends for pleural and peritoneal cancer might be related to clearance of the asbestos from the workers' lungs." 07/01/2007 - "The different trends for pleural and peritoneal cancer might be related to clearance of the asbestos from the workers' lungs." 08/15/2009 - "A significantly elevated incidence of cancer of the small intestine was also observed among men having been exposed to asbestos for periods in excess of 25 years and for mean exposure levels in excess of 4 fibres/mL. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests the existence of a relationship between exposure to asbestos and cancer of the small intestine and of the oesophagus in men."

4.	Lung Neoplasms (Lung Cancer) 01/01/1992 - ""Dose-response" dependence worked out by American scientists helped to reveal the linear dependence between carcinogenic risk factor, asbestos containing dust, and lung cancer formation, use it for basing the new MAC for asbestos containing dust taking into account the oncologic security." 06/01/1986 - "When asbestos was the only factor to be eliminated, the etiologic fraction estimate suggested a 23% reduction in the lung cancer incidence in the study population. " 08/01/2009 - "This study contributes to the literature demonstrating asbestos-related diseases among workers with largely indirect exposures and supports an increased lung cancer risk among workers with low ILO profusion scores." 06/01/2009 - "Participants' views on the necessity of screening,awareness of asbestos-exposure risks, their perceived lung cancer risk, trial adherence intention, health anxiety,and worry about lung cancer were assessed. " 04/01/2009 - "STATE OF THE ART: Published studies show that there is a significant relationship between occupational exposure to asbestos and lung cancer risk, even in the absence of abnormalities consistent with asbestos exposure on postero-anterior chest x-ray. " Order ALL the reference details at left...
5.	Pulmonary Fibrosis (Hamman Rich Syndrome) 10/01/1990 - "This study suggests that the most common radiographic findings in asbestos-exposed, isolated pleural plaques are associated with a significant reduction in FEV1 and FVC, which cannot be attributed to the presence of radiographic and subradiographic pulmonary fibrosis." 11/01/2009 - "In this study, we demonstrate that Rac1 null mice are protected from asbestos-induced pulmonary fibrosis, as determined by histological and biochemical analysis. " 02/01/2005 - "OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to determine the causes of impairment of ventilatory function and diffusing capacity in smoking asbestos-exposed workers (N=590) showing radiological pleural thickenings or pulmonary fibrosis. " 06/01/2004 - "The aim of this study was to determine criteria for independently associated features of pulmonary fibrosis in high-resolution computed tomograms among persons occupationally exposed to asbestos. " 08/01/1990 - "Although there is a correlation between the tissue concentration of asbestos fibers and the severity of pulmonary fibrosis, further studies of the mineralogic correlates of fiber-induced pulmonary fibrosis are needed.
