Occupational life course and lung cancer risk in men. Findings from a socio-epidemiological analysis of job-changing histories in a case-control study
Psychosocial factors in general, and the social and psychological conditions of work and occupation in particular, have attracted little attention to the epidemiological investigation into the occupational-related causes of lung cancer. There is some evidence…

Pleural abnormalities in the Framingham Heart Study: prevalence and CT image features
The prevalence of pleural abnormalities in the general population is an epidemiologically important index of asbestos exposure, which has not been investigated since a radiography-based study in 1980. We examined 2633 chest CT scans (mean…

Pleural malignant mesothelioma in Tuscany, Italy (1970-1988): I. Anatomo-pathologic aspects
Our investigation did not confirm the general experience that significant numbers of cases initially considered malignant mesothelioma or metastatic carcinoma are actually found to be metastatic carcinoma or malignant mesothelioma, respectively, upon deeper investigation using ancillary…

Use of death certificates in epidemiological studies, including occupational hazards: variations in discordance of different asbestos-associated diseases on best evidence ascertainment
There is extensive information on discordance in general between accuracy of medical diagnoses on death certificate categorization of cause of death and available clinical and histopathological data. This is as true for occupational disease as for…

Extrapolation from occupational studies: a substitute for environmental epidemiology
Extrapolation from occupational data to general environmental exposures gives some interesting results, and these results might be useful in our decision-making process. These results could never be observed by environmental epidemiology and this method probably…

Asbestos and other ferruginous bodies: their formation and clinical significance
…with asbestos. At the highest levels of exposure, numbers of asbestos bodies correlate in a general way with the presence of asbestosis, although no precise value has been determined above which asbestosis is always found. In…

Quantitative Assessment of Asbestos Fibers in Normal and Pathological Pleural Tissue-A Scoping Review
pleural mesothelioma is a rare cancer in the general population, but it is more common in subjects occupationally exposed to asbestos. Studies with asbestos fiber quantification in pleural tissue are scarce: for this reason, we aimed…

Dextrose-Containing Carrier Solution for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: Increased Intraoperative Hyperglycemia and Postoperative Complications
Intraoperative hyperglycemia is associated with infectious complications in general surgery patients. This study aimed to determine if the use of lactated Ringer's (LR) carrier solution during hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) would lower the incidence of…

Comparative carcinogenicity study of a thick, straight-type and a thin, tangled-type multi-walled carbon nanotube administered by intra-tracheal instillation in the rat
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be divided into two general subtypes: tangled and straight. MWCNT-N (60 nm in diameter) and MWCNT-7 (80-90 nm in diameter) are straight-type MWCNTs, and similarly to asbestos…
