Petrology and Geochemistry of Ophiolitic Pyroxenite in the Eastern Desert of Egypt: Genesis of Ultramafic Cumulates and Implications for Neoproterozoic Supra‐Subduction Seafloor Metamorphism

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract We describe and compare two outcrops of pyroxenite associated with Neoproterozoic ophiolite sequences in the Eastern Desert of Egypt: small masses in the Abu Samuki area of the North Eastern Desert and large belts in the Wadi El‐Mireiwa area of the South Eastern Desert.

Asbestos Burden in Lungs of Subjects Deceased From Mesothelioma Who Lived in Proximity to an Asbestos Factory: A Topographic Post‐Mortem SEM‐EDS Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 112-121, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Asbestos exposure and its pathological consequences, especially malignant mesothelioma (MM) still represent a major public health problem on a global scale. After the ban of asbestos in most western countries, nonoccupational exposure plays an essential role in MM pathogenesis.

Asbestos exposure and asbestosis mortality in Italian cement‐asbestos cohorts: Dose‐response relationship and the role of competing death causes

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 67, Issue 9, Page 813-822, September 2024.
Abstract Objectives In Italy, asbestos was used intensively until its ban in 1992, which was extended for asbestos cement factories until 1994. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose–response between asbestos exposure and asbestosis mortality across a pool of Italian occupational cohorts, taking into account the presence of competing risks ...
