Asbestos awareness

Dr. Boopathi Gupta. M

This document provides an overview of asbestos, its health hazards, and where it can be found. Asbestos was widely used in construction materials due to its desirable properties but is now known to cause serious health issues like mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis. It becomes hazardous when fibers are released into the air and inhaled. To avoid exposure, people should be aware of where asbestos is likely present in buildings and not disturb any asbestos-containing materials.

Asbestosis

Martha Flores, RRT/NPS

Asbestosis is a lung disease caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers, which are thin and needle-like and can penetrate the lungs. Over many years, the presence of asbestos in the lungs causes scarring and fibrosis. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, chest tightness, and clubbing of fingers in advanced stages. Chest X-rays show irregular opacities in the lower lobes and a honeycomb appearance in late stages. There is no cure for asbestosis, but symptoms can be treated with steroids or lung transplants in severe cases.

Reinstein: 2022 Global Asbestos Awareness Week “Partnering for Prevention”

Linda Reinstein

The document discusses Global Asbestos Awareness Week 2022 and its theme of "Partnering for Prevention". It notes that the EPA recently proposed a ban on some uses of chrysotile asbestos. It provides statistics on the global health impacts of asbestos, such as 70,000 annual worker deaths worldwide and 255 billion in economic losses. The Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization advocates for banning asbestos and educates about associated health risks and legal actions.

The document discusses asbestos policy statements by the American Public Health Association (APHA) from 2009 to 2019. It summarizes the key points of the 2009 and 2019 policy statements, which initially called for the "Elimination of Asbestos" and later advocated for "Eliminating Exposure to Asbestos". The document also outlines obstacles to banning asbestos like junk science, obstacles to policy change, and opportunities through education, legislation, and litigation that have led to outcomes like APHA resolutions and bills introduced to ban asbestos between 2004 to 2021.

The document discusses the dangers of asbestos exposure and mesothelioma. It notes that malignant mesothelioma deaths have increased 4.8% annually from 1999-2015. Asbestos was widely used in mining, manufacturing, and disposal industries, leaving 16 Superfund sites across the US. The asbestos industry engaged in propaganda, misinformation, and suppressing documents to cast doubt on the health risks. They hired scientists to produce research downplaying the dangers. The industry also spent millions lobbying politicians and had many former lobbyists and staffers appointed to the EPA under Administrator Scott Pruitt, weakening regulations. Despite being banned, asbestos imports into the US doubled in 2016, showing the ongoing health threats.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptx

Holistified Wellness

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
