http://www.asbestos-mesothelioma-lawyers.com

Extractions: Asbestos and Mesothelioma Litigation From the turn of the century through the 1970's, asbestos was widely used in the United States as an insulation and fireproofing material. Each year, workers applied hundreds of thousands of tons of asbestos in a variety of jobs. Those who worked with and around these workers were also exposed to asbestos dust. Most workers did not wear respirators or other protective equipment because they were not warned that asbestos was deadly. As a result, there has been a steady increase in asbestos-related disease among workers in trades such as: If you have ever worked with asbestos or products that contain asbestos, you are at greater risk of developing some illness as a result of that exposure. In addition, family members of some exposed workers have developed asbestos diseases simply through their day-to-day contact with the worker. In general, the longer you work with asbestos, the greater your risk of developing an asbestos-related disease. While not everyone exposed to asbestos will develop health problems, the risk increases with the amount of exposure.

Extractions: Thoracic Surgery Division The Thoracic Oncology Program at the University of Maryland Medical Center is one of the pioneering institutions nationally using a finely tuned multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of malignant mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. With our multidisciplinary care program, patients have access to all of the team members in one visit. Treatment with medical, surgical and radiation oncologists is coordinated through one specialized nurse. Communication is maximized and patient stress and inconvenience is minimized. This "one-stop shopping" approach has been found to be the best way to tackle the complex care for this difficult disease. Mesothelioma Malignant mesothelioma, an uncommon form of cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the lung and chest cavity (the pleura), abdomen (the peritoneum) and the heart (the pericardium). A layer of specialized cells called mesothelial cells lines these cavities, forming tissue called mesothelium. Tumors of the meothelium can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Most mesothelial tumors are cancerous; therefore, malignant mesothelioma is often simply called mesothelioma. Pleural Mesothelioma

Extractions: MESOTHELIOMA Malignant mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer. Mesothelioma is a malignant neoplasm originating from pleural or peritoneal surfaces that is usually associated with occupational exposure to asbestos. It is a disease in which malignant cancer cells are found in the sac lining of the chest and lungs- Pleural Mesothelioma or the abdomen - Peritoneal Mesothelioma and the heart - Pericardial Mesothelioma. The stage or severity of mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose, due to the great variability in the time before diagnosis and the rate of disease progression. The first indication of mesothelioma is often by a simple chest x-ray. For more clarification or confirmation a MRI, CT SCAN , a biopsy or removal operation may be needed. Mesothelioma is categorized in Stages I, II, III and IV.

http://www.baronandbud.com/Mesothelioma/

Extractions: Treatment Options Web Resources Cancer Centers Mesothelioma is a very serious but rare form of cancer that is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. The most common forms of mesothelioma affect the lining of the lung (the pleura) or the lining of the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum). Approximately 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma in the United States each year. Even a brief or minimal exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma. For example, in several cases we have represented the wives and children of workers who unknowingly brought asbestos dust into their homes on their work clothes. Mesothelioma is also a "dose response" disease. This means that the more a person is exposed to asbestos, the greater the risk he has for developing the disease Mesothelioma has a long latency period. This means that victims of mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos many years before the cancer developed. The average latency period for mesothelioma is approximately 30 years, but can be shorter than 15 years or longer than 40 years. Victims of mesothelioma may also have another asbestos-related disease such as asbestosis or pleural disease. These non-cancerous conditions, although caused by asbestos, are medically separate and distinct diseases from mesothelioma. Therefore, a disease such as asbestosis does not "develop" into mesothelioma. Because asbestosis has a shorter latency period than mesothelioma, some mesothelioma victims also develop asbestosis many years before developing the cancer. Many medical experts believe that less than 15% of asbestosis victims will ever develop mesothelioma. Also, a person can develop mesothelioma but never have asbestosis or any other asbestos-related disease.

Extractions: The lungs and skin (including nose and eyes) are the organs of first contact for most environmental exposures (excluding ingestion). This aid to learning also includes an introduction to wider harmful consequences as exemplified by the effects on cellular respiration. It will exclude infection and consequences of radioactivity. It complements other modes of learning in the module. The airways of the lung derive from the trachea (wind pipe) downwards by progressive division into two (or more) branches. Those airways beyond the trachea that contain cartilage are called bronchi. The airways lacking in cartilage beyond the bronchi are the bronchioles. These lead into hollow spaces called alveoli which have a diameter of about 0.1 mm each. There are approximately 300 million alveoli and their total surface area is about 140 m . The conducting airways are lined by cells with cilia (small motile surface projections). Interspersed between these cells are mucus secreting cells. Secreted mucus spreads over the cilia which direct it upwards to the larger airways by rhythmic undulating movements, thus helping to clear deposited dusts. The respiratory units, i.e. the alveoli and the smallest bronchioles called respiratory bronchioles are responsible for the exchange of gases. They are lined mainly by flat, extremely thin cells which permit easy diffusion of oxygen through them from the air in the alveolar spaces to the blood in the capillaries and easier diffusion of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction. Alveolar macrophages are very abundant, mobile and phagocytic cells mainly responsible amongst other functions for the ingestion of foreign matter. The lining of the outside of the lung and the inside of the chest wall is called the pleura.

Because of its fibrous nature, asbestos can produce dust that, when inhaled, becomes deposited in the lungs. It can cause or contribute to the development of illnesses including asbestosis (a fibrous scarring of the lungs) and mesothelioma (a malignant tumor in the lining of the lungs or the abdominal cavity). The widespread use of asbestos in manufacturing in the United States ended in the 1970s, and since then, workplace exposures have been strictly regulated by the government. Several federal and state agencies have authority to regulate asbestos, including the US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the US Environmental Protection Agency.

The text of an essay by Gould on the subject of cancer and statistics, based on his affliction withand Category Science Earth Sciences Invertebrate Gould, S.J. In July 1982, I learned that I was suffering from abdominal mesothelioma,a rare and serious cancer usually associated with exposure to asbestos.
http://www.cancerguide.org/median_not_msg.html

Extractions: Stephen Jay Gould was an influential evolutionary biologist who taught at Harvard University. He was the author of at least ten popular books on evolution, and science, including, among others, The Flamingo's Smile The Mismeasure of Man Wonderful Life , and Full House As far as I'm concerned, Gould's The Median Isn't the Message is the wisest, most humane thing ever written about cancer and statistics. It is the antidote both to those who say that, "the statistics don't matter," and to those who have the unfortunate habit of pronouncing death sentences on patients who face a difficult prognosis. Anyone who researches the medical literature will confront the statistics for their disease. Anyone who reads this will be armed with reason and with hope. The Median Isn't the Message is reproduced here by permission of the author. My life has recently intersected, in a most personal way, two of Mark Twain's famous quips. One I shall defer to the end of this essay. The other (sometimes attributed to Disraeli), identifies three species of mendacity, each worse than the one before - lies, damned lies, and statistics. Consider the standard example of stretching the truth with numbers - a case quite relevant to my story. Statistics recognizes different measures of an "average," or central tendency. The
