Asbestos exposure: challenges for Australian clinicians
…median survival of 9–12 months. The authors wrote that most people with disabling asbestos-related disease are compensated. They argued that differing general damages awards across jurisdictions made a strong case for a national approach.

Marble Waste Dump Yard in Rajasthan, India Revealed as a Potential Asbestos Exposure Hazard
…103,000,000 per gram. The authors concluded that this plausibly demonstrates that the marble industry poses an occupational and environmental hazard to workers, local inhabitants and the general public by exposing them to asbestos dust.

Asbestos, Pleural Plaques, and Lung Cancer: Untangling the Relationships
…depends on precise exposure estimates. The author concluded that people with known moderate to heavy exposure should not be denied CT screening because they lack plaques. In general populations, the author wrote, bilateral plaques should prompt…

Checkpoint inhibitors in mesothelioma: hope for the future?
…the trials were non-comparative, could be affected by selection and survivorship bias, and enrolled patients of good performance status (general fitness). They concluded that well-designed phase 3 trials are needed. The article did not…

Spirometry: a predictor of lung cancer among asbestos workers
…concluded that spirometry can identify patients at risk of lung cancer and should be offered at least every three years. They noted that participation was voluntary and that the results cannot be generalized to general practice.

Inhalation unit risk (IUR) of asbestos based on available science
…chrysotile's value was 0.026, about 65 times lower than crocidolite's. The authors stated that the general US EPA asbestos value, 0.23, would overestimate risk for Libby amphibole and chrysotile and dramatically underestimate…

Silicosis and asbestosis: diagnosis, prevention and treatment
…stated that effective therapy for disabling asbestosis had not been demonstrated. American experience had not shown more lung cancer in recognized asbestosis cases than in the general population, although British experience suggested a possible causal relationship…

Modelling prevalence and incidence of fibrosis and pleural plaques in asbestos-exposed populations for screening and follow-up: a cross-sectional study
…not duration, should be included in high-risk definitions for screening. They also concluded that short-interval CT follow-up for plaques seemed not warranted. They noted the volunteers were not representative of the general population.

Asbestos-associated neoplasms of B cell lineage
…combined incidence of these two cancers was 7.7 per cent. The authors said this appeared much greater than in the general South African population, but that the number of patients was too small for epidemiologic…

Case-control study on lung cancer and residential radon in western Germany
…7 (95 percent CI 1.4 to 2.0). Adjusting for it did not change the radon results. The authors concluded that their results suggest residential radon contributes to lung cancer risk in the general population.

Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT
…subjects are required to demonstrate a possible mortality reduction. Only then general recommendations to screen individuals at risk of lung cancer with low-dose CT should be made. It can be hoped that international cooperation will…

Expression and integrity of DNA topoisomerase II isoforms does not explain generic drug resistance in malignant mesothelioma
…suggested highly expressed MRP may play a role in mesothelioma's general resistance. The authors concluded that this mutation may be associated with extreme etoposide resistance and that mesothelioma's general drug resistance needs further investigation.
