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

open access: yesDiagnostic 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.

A Critique of Helsinki Criteria for Using Lung Fiber Levels to Determine Causation in Mesothelioma Cases

open access: yesAnnals of Global Health, 2021
Asbestos is a known human carcinogen and the chief known cause of mesothelioma. In 1997, a group of experts developed the Helsinki Criteria, which established criteria for attribution of mesothelioma to asbestos.

Asbestos Detection with Fluorescence Microscopy Images and Deep Learning

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Fluorescent probes can be used to detect various types of asbestos (serpentine and amphibole groups); however, the fiber counting using our previously developed software was not accurate for samples with low fiber concentration.

Critical reappraisal of Balangero chrysotile and mesothelioma risk

open access: yesEpidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2014
BackgroundBalangero, 40 km northwest of Torino in the Piedmonte Region, was home to the largest and most active chrysotile mine in Europe operating from 1916 - 1990 and employed over 300 men at any one time. The chrysotile was thought to be pure. Despite

Comparative Studies on the Cytotoxicity of Amphibole and Serpentine Asbestos

open access: yesEnvironmental Health Perspectives, 1980
The chemical and physical properties of serpentine and amphibole asbestos are considered in the context of their interaction with tissue of the tracheobronchial tree and lungs. In vitro studies in cultures of several types are evaluated and work with the erythrocyte hemolysis system is reviewed.

Surface reactivity of amphibole asbestos: a comparison between crocidolite and tremolite [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
AbstractAmong asbestos minerals, fibrous riebeckite (crocidolite) and tremolite share the amphibole structure but largely differ in terms of their iron content and oxidation state. In asbestos toxicology, iron-generated free radicals are largely held as one of the causes of asbestos malignant effect.
