The condition of having growths on the skin surface that are wart-like and noncancerous is called seborrheic keratosis. It can also be called barnacles of old age, senile warts, seborrheic verruca, and senile keratosis. This noncancerous growth on the skin starts in the key constituent of the epidermis called keratinocyte. Aging is a factor that can contribute to the appearance of seborrheic keratosis.The term seborrheic keratosis is a...more
The overwhelming majority of asbestos exposure comes from the workplace. Exposure to hazardous asbestos can be an impetus for disease development such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. One interesting study is called, Respiratory cancer in relation to occupational exposures among retired asbestos workers by Philip Enterline, Pierre De Coufle, and Vivian Henderson - Br J Ind Med 1973;30. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - A cohort of 1 348 men who...more
Most people are exposed to asbestos in the workplace, often due to lack of proper safety procedures and shortcuts. Some occupations are considered more dangerous than others. One interesting study is called, A mortality study among workers in an English asbestos factory By J Peto, R Doll, S V Howard, L J Kinlen, and H C Lewinsohn - Br J Ind Med 1977;34:169-173. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - The previous report on this cohort study of workers in an asbestos textile factory (Knox et al., 1968) showed little evidence of increased mortality among workers who had entered the factory after the implementation in 1932 of the first Asbestos Industry Regulation (1931) but observed that no firm conclusions could be drawn, as little carcinogenic effect would be expected for 20 years after first exposure. A further 8 1/2 years of follow-up has revealed some asbestos-related disease in this latter group, although very much less than for employees first exposed before 1933. Among the 963 workers first exposed in 1933 or later, mortality was increased for carcinoma of the bronchus (31 deaths; 19-3 expected for all lung cancers) and non-malignant respiratory disease (35 deaths, 25-0 expected),...more
Disease development caused by asbestos exposure is well known and documented. One thing that is less known is how ubiquitous asbestos really is. One interesting study is called, Asbestos fibers in beverages, drinking water, and tissues: Their passage through the intestinal wall and movement through the body by Cunningham, HM - Pontefract, RD -...more
Some occupations are considered more dangerous when it comes to asbestos exposure. For example, people working as pipefitters, plumbers, and electricians suffer from an inordinate rate of mesothelioma disease. This has been the subject of a great deal of research. One interesting study is called, Asbestos exposure, smoking habits, and cancer...more
Most people that are diagnosed with mesothelioma have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace. One interesting study on point is called, Mesothelioma and lung tumors attributable to asbestos among petroleum workers by Valerio Gennaro, MD, Murray M. Finkelstein, MD, Marcello Ceppi, DSc, Vincenzo Fontana, DSc, Fabio Montanaro, DSc, Alessandra Perrotta, DSc, Riccardo Puntoni, DSc, Stefania Silvano, MD - American Journal of Industrial Medicine Volume 37 Issue 3, Pages 275 282. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Background - Asbestos exposure has been definitively found to be associated with both mesothelioma and lung cancer. Nevertheless, in the overall population of oil refinery workers potentially exposed to asbestos, many studies clearly show a definitely increased risk of mesothelioma, but no proven excess of lung cancer after comparison to the general population. Through the presentation of new data and the re-appraisal of two recent and independent epidemiological studies conducted in Liguria, Italy, and Ontario, Canada, we attempt to shed light on this apparently paradoxical finding. - Methods - Lung cancer mortality was studied among maintenance workers exposed to asbestos,...more
