Assesses the effects of the intensity and timing of exposure on lung cancer risk, using mortality data from 9609 workers at two asbestos mining areas in Quebec. Computation of summary exposure measures based on differing assumption for lung cancer cases; Examination of a non-linear relationship ...
Investigation was carried out on the immunological effects of asbestos on individuals and found that asbestos exposure not only reduces the effectiveness of tumor surveillance but also makes asbestos exposed individuals sensitive to tumor development. The continuous experimental exposure of T cells to asbes...
The respective standardized lung cancer mortality ratios (SMRs) were 0.29 and 0.62; and 1.37 and 1.72. Thus, the differences in relative risk, due to exposure, were closely similar, 0.33 and 0.35. On the other hand, the effects of asbestos measured by the corresponding ratios, 2.12 and ...
Joel Hernandezcueva, the father of four young children, died in 2014 from pleural mesothelioma, a terminal cancer that his treating physicians testified is caused only by asbestos exposure. Asbestos Mesothelioma Victims Stymied by Bestwall LLC Bankruptcy On December 6, asbestos mesothelioma claimants ...
Using radiation during surgery cuts the risk of cancer returning. It can also make the treatment more effective. IORT is a promising option for some mesothelioma patients. But its use depends on the tumor’s traits and the treatment plan. Doctors will consider the tumor’s location, disease ...
aMany studies have shown that the combination of smoking and asbestos exposure is particularly hazardous. Smokers who are also exposed to asbestos have a risk of developing lung cancer that is greater than the individual risks from asbestos and smoking added together (3, 6). There is evidence ...
1. Estimating the Effect of Cumulative Occupational Asbestos Exposure on Time to Lung Cancer Mortality: using structural nested failure-time models to account for healthy-worker survivor bias (vol 25, pg 246, 2014) [J] . Naimi Epidemiology . 2015,第5期 机译:估算职业性石棉累积暴露时间对肺癌...
Another important aspect of toxicology is risk assessment, which is a characterization of the potential adverse effects resulting from exposure to a toxicant. Risk is the probability of an adverse outcome. The basic steps involved in risk assessment are the identification of the magnitude of the haz...
In addition, the electrokinetic remediation technique is preferred due to other attractive characteristics that include lower costs, less exposure to the contaminants, adaptability to different types of soils, and less disturbance of the environment, i.e., soil matrix [4]. However, the effectiveness...
Potential reasons for the development of cancer cells include exposure to ultraviolet and ionizing radiation, certain chemicals (e.g., asbestos, tobacco smoke, and alcohol), nutritional contaminants, and certain infections [1]. The most common types of cancers that appear in humans are breast, ...
