erionite

12/01/1998 - "One control group of 119 healthy individuals was drawn from Tuzköy, which has the largest population of three erionite villages, a very high prevalence of mesothelioma due to environmental exposure to erionite, and accounted for 16 of the MPM cases in the study. "
05/01/1997 - "The reasons for the low yield of mesothelioma in this study are not known, but may be related to the study design, the strict criteria used for histopathologic diagnosis, and/or possible differences in erionite physicochemical properties, associated with its geographic distribution, most previous animal studies having used erionite from the Rome, Oregon (USA) area."
05/01/1997 - "The findings reported herein confirm the strong fibrogenic potential of erionite but are at variance with previous studies reporting much higher yields of mesothelioma. "
01/01/2021 - "Exposure to erionite is the leading cause of mesothelioma in Karain villagers, and genetic factors are probably of minor importance."
01/01/2021 - "Exposure to erionite exceeding 20 years and age over 40 years were associated with increased mesothelioma risk. "

05/15/2006 - "In summary, pedigree and mineralogical studies indicate that the malignant mesothelioma epidemic is caused by erionite exposure in genetically predisposed individuals. "
07/01/2023 - "Exposure to fibrous erionite has been unequivocally linked to cases of malignant mesothelioma (MM) and this killer fibre is assumed to be directly responsible for more than 50% of all deaths in the population of the villages of Karain and Tuzköy in central Anatolia (Turkey). "
01/01/2020 - "Erionite in Auckland bedrock and malignant mesothelioma: an emerging public and occupational health hazard?"
01/01/2016 - "Exposure of humans to erionite fibers of suitable morphology and dimension has been unambiguously linked to the occurrence of malignant mesothelioma. "
11/16/2015 - "The exposure of humans to erionite fibres of appropriate morphology and dimension has been unambiguously linked to the occurrence of Malignant Mesothelioma. "

03/01/2015 - "This review analytically examines the published data for erionite-related malignant pleural mesothelioma (E-MPM) and any data to support a genetically predisposed mechanism to erionite fiber carcinogenesis. "
12/01/1999 - "Both approaches did not reveal p53 alterations in rat MM samples used in the study indicating that, similar to asbestos carcinogenesis, erionite carcinogenesis does not target the p53 tumor suppressor gene."
12/01/1999 - "Previous speculations that the oncogenic mechanisms underlying asbestos and erionite carcinogenesis may differ led us to examine whether the p53 gene is targeted in erionite carcinogenesis. "
07/01/2008 - "It has also been confirmed that a genetic predisposition to erionite carcinogenesis is the cause of the mesothelioma epidemic in Cappadocia. "
01/01/2007 - "Initially linked solely to the exposure to a fibrous mineral, erionite, recent studies by scientists from Turkey and the United States have shown that erionite causes mesothelioma mostly in families that are genetically predisposed to mineral fibre carcinogenesis. "

07/01/2007 - "The genetic predisposition to the effect of erionite is a separate subject for investigation."
04/01/2004 - "In these villages, genetic predisposition for MM works together with erionite, a nonasbestos fiber found in the stones used in construction of houses. "
11/01/2013 - "However, pedigree studies of these villages showed that mesothelioma was prevalent in certain families but not in others, and that erionite exposure typically causes mesothelioma in those with a genetic predisposition to this disease. "
06/01/2017 - "This article reviews how the mesothelioma epidemic was discovered in Cappadocia by Dr. Baris (my mentor), how we initially linked the epidemic to erionite exposure, and later (with Dr. Carbone) to the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental exposure. "
02/01/2006 - "Genetic susceptibility to the mineral fiber erionite has been demonstrated in some Turkish families and causes a MM epidemic in Cappadocia, Turkey. "

06/01/2014 - "The physical and chemical characteristics of erionite near San Miguel de Allende are similar to those of erionite from the Cappadocian region of Turkey where erionite is associated with MM. The presence of erionite and the type of respiratory diseases that occur in the village strongly suggest the need for detailed health-based studies in the region. "
09/01/1997 - "The health concern for respirable fibers is based on the link of occupational asbestos exposure and environmental erionite fiber exposure to the development of chronic respiratory diseases, including interstitial lung fibrosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma in humans. "
