Understanding Cellular and Enzyme Responses of Chrysotile Asbestos Occupational exposure to asbestos causes the death of thousands of people each year. This has led to an almost unparalleled body of research trying to better understand asbestos and its link to mesothelioma disease. One interesting study is called, "Kinetics of the bronchoalveolar leucocyte response in rats during exposure to equal airborne mass concentrations of...more
Asbestos Inhalation Nitrate Levels and Cellular Mutation When asbestos fibers are broken into small pieces they can be swallowed or inhaled and lead to mesothelioma disease. This disease is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people each year, and consequently is the subject of a great deal of research. One important study is called, "Secreted extracellular domains of macrophage scavenger receptors form elongated trimers which...more
Clustering of Mesothelioma Cases and Asbestos Exposure When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can attack the membranes surrounding the heart, lungs and abdomen and lead to disease development. Mesothelioma alone causes the death of over 2,000 people each year. Identifying the links between this deadly disease and asbestos exposure are important and ongoing. One important study is called, "The epidermiologic relationship between pleural mesothelioma and asbestos exposure." by Nurminen M. - Scand J Work Environ Health. 1975 Jun;1(2):128-37. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - This paper describes an investigation of 85 notifications of either probable or possible mesothelioma to the Finnish Cancer Registry from 1953 through 1969. The investigation covers characteristic epidemiologic features and the possibility of the mesothelioma being connected with occupational or other exposure to asbestos. The incidence rate of pleural mesothelioma was estimated at 1.1 per million per year. The male/female ratio was 1.3:1, which greatly differed fsrom that for malignant neoplasms of the bronchus or lung in Finland in 1960. The mean age at death from mesothelioma was over 7 years lower...more
Blue Collar Workers and the Mesothelioma Menace Manual laborers suffer from mesothelioma disease in an inordinate amount. This has been the subject of much research.

Asbestos Fibers Disrupt Chromosome Behavior The development of mesothelioma disease has been linked to asbestos exposure. One interesting study examining this relationship is called, "The Hygiene Standard for Chrysotile Asbestos" - The Lancet, Volume 311, Issue 8062, Pages 484-489. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Previous studies,...more
With the modern lives that we live, it is inevitable that there are some diseases that cannot be halted in their tracks. Lifestyles are such that some people will just succumb to the diseases while others will do everything in their power to hang on to their lives and try to stay healthy. However, with proper treatment, lives can be extended if it is not saved. To see what kind of treatment is available in the city, look for 'cancer treatment' or 'radiation therapy' to get a full list of facilities which deal with this sometimes deadly disease.Many people do not take care of their health and it sometimes only takes some minor adjustments to live a better life. However, if the problem is ignored for too long, it is obvious that something will break down or go beyond the point where something can be done. Inevitably, when this happens, people go into shock when they are told that they only have a short time to live. It may well be that an operation may cure the problem but in some instances the disease may be so rife that only more drastic treatment will help with the problem.We have all heard of chemotherapy or radiotherapy where the growths are blasted with medicine or...more
