Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Cancer cells develop in the mesothelium, a thin layer of tissue that covers the majority of the body's internal organs. There are four types. Pleural Malignant Mesothelioma (lung), Peritoneal Mesothelioma (abdomen), Percardial Mesothelioma (heart), and Tunica Vaginilas (testicles). One interesting study that examines this disease is called, "An early, nonrandom...more
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer where malignant cells are found in the protective sacs that covers the body's internal organs. This sac is called the mesothelium. One interesting study that examines the disease is called, "Asbestos fibers in bronchoalveolar lavage and lung tissue of former asbestos workers" by H. Teschler, K.H. Friedrichs, G.B. Hoheisel, G. Wick, U. Soltner, A.B. Thompson, N. Konietzko and U. Costabel - Ruhrlandklinik,...more
Over 2,000 new cases of Mesothelioma are diagnosed each year in the United States (making up about 3 % of all cancer diagnoses). The more research that is dedicated to finding a cure for this disease, the better. One interesting study is called, "A Meta-Analysis of Colorectal Cancer and Asbestos Exposure" by David M. Horna, David H. Garabrant, and Brenda W. Gillespie - American Journal of Epidemiology Vol. 139, No. 12: 1210-1222. Here is an excerpt: "A meta-analysis of the relation between asbestos exposure and colorectal cancer mortality was conducted, using published reports of 20 asbestos-exposed cohorts. Summary standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for colorectal cancer were examined in relation to asbestos type and estimates of dust exposure (as direct estimators of asbestos exposure) and in relation to lung cancer SMR and the proportion of all deaths due to mesothelioma (as proxy estimators of asbestos exposure). An elevated summary SMR was observed in cohorts exposed to amphibole asbestos (summary SMR = 1.47; 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.09–2.00), but not in cohorts exposed to serpentine asbestos (summary SMR = 1.04; 95% Cl 0.81–1.33) or in cohorts exposed to...more
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in a variety of products. Asbestos only becomes dangerous when it is broken into small pieces that become airborne. When these small pieces of asbestos dust are inhaled they settle into the lungs and can cause life threatening diseases. One interesting study is called, "Screening...more
When pieces of asbestos are inhaled or swallowed, they can lead to life threatening diseases. To date, over 730,000 people have filed claims for asbestos related injuries in the United States alone. One interesting study that examples the link between exposure and Mesothelioma disease is called, "Analysis of asbestos fibers and asbestos bodies in...more
The wastewater that is generated by the populations of the world has to be treated and recycled into clean, usable water. This has always been a very challenging process. In addition to being a challenge, it is also vital for human existence on a planet that is full of chemical pollutants. With the introduction of microbes, tiny organisms that eat away at the chemicals, microbial water treatment has become a big part of this recycling treatment process.Most people would be shocked to see what is in the wastewater that is treated at the plants designated to do so. There are chemicals, medications, and many other kinds of serious and deadly toxins to contend with at a treatment plant. Research has been going on for some time to find the ways to eliminate these kinds of pollutants from our water supplies.Microbes actually eat the chemical remnants in wastewater. They also eat up the organic waste as well. When the supply of microbes becomes too low and inactive at a treatment plant, the usual next step is introducing more of them into the same water. The process starts right back at that point.When the microbial depletion occurs, a backup of wastewater can occur. Introducing a...more
