Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis: a case illustrating Doppler color flow imaging and its potential for preoperative diagnosis Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is a rare aggressive neoplasm with fewer than 100 cases reported in the world literature. Because of ....
Inhalation of asbestos fibers can lead to serious health conditions, such as mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, because the fibers can become lodged in the lungs or pleural lining and cannot be removed by the body. How do I know if my home has asbestos? Asbestos was commonly used ...
Vermiculite ores have the potential for amphibole contamination and can represent potential health hazards without proper occupational and environmental control measures. Gamble JF, Gibbs GW. An evaluation of the risks of lung cancer and mesothelioma from exposure to amphibole cleavage fragments. Regul...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive, asbestos-related pulmonary cancer that is increasing in incidence. Experts believe this form of cancer will not peak for another 20 years due to a latency period of 20 to 40 years fromasbestos exposure. It currently causes an estimated 15,000 to ...
Risk Assessment of Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma in People Living near Asbestos-Related Factories in Taiwan We concluded that in future risk assessments for ambient asbestos exposure, investigators should adopt transmission-electronic microscopy and the geometric mean ...
