Cytology of malignant pleural mesothelioma: Diagnostic criteria, WHO classification updates, and immunohistochemical staining markers diagnostic value

Diagnostic Cytopathology, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 532-537, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Because of this tumor rarity and overlapping histologic features with other malignancy types, the histopathological findings and diagnostic immunohistochemical workup are essential in establishing the final diagnosis of MPMs.

Identification of iron compounds in chrysotile from the Balangero mine (Turin, Italy) by micro‐Raman spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 53, Issue 11, Page 1931-1941, November 2022., 2022
Fe‐bearing impurities associated with asbestos fibers were identified as Fe oxides, carbonates, and sulfides, including uncommonly reported phases in asbestos minerals. Abstract Chrysotile, one of the six regulated asbestos minerals, is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Transport and deposition of inhaled man‐made vitreous and asbestos fibers in realistic human respiratory tract models: An in silico study

JAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 592-608, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Particles longer than 5 μm and with a length/diameter ratio >3 are defined as fibers. Asbestos or other fibers are still identified in residential environments due to the emission from asbestos‐used building materials. The respiratory system is the primary route of asbestos exposure; under a longer residence time, asbestos‐related adverse ...
