Environmental, Inhaled and Ingested Causes of Pulmonary

2007/1/1There are two types of asbestos fibers called serpentine and amphiboles asbestos. There are several asbestos related diseases such as asbestosis, which is pulmonary fibrosis, pleural plaques, a benign pleural reaction, bronchogenic carcinoma, and mesothelioma, a malignancy of the pleura ( Mongan et al., 2000 ) but in this review only pulmonary fibrosis is discussed.

BACKGROUND: The immunohistochemical expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in asbestos-related malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is emerging as a useful prognostic indicator of improved survival. A significantly increased incidence of MPM in a small town in southern Italy was ascribed to exposure to fluoro-edenite (FE), a naturally occurring asbestos fiber. Get price
