one of the chronic conditions caused due to asbestos exposure called
asbestosis.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Asbestosis is basically a chronic
lung disease caused by exposure to asbestos and cannot be cured. Symptoms
typically include shortness of breath, coughing, and chest pain and tightness.
The life expectancy of patients diagnosed with asbestosis varies, and it also
increases the risk of developing cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What Is Asbestosis?</span></b></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Asbestosis </b>is a chronic lung ailment
brought about by exposure to asbestos. It entails a gradual scarring of the
lungs and falls under the category of interstitial lung diseases. When the body
attempts to get rid the lungs of asbestos particles, scar tissue forms,
resulting in painful or challenging breathing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As time progresses, symptoms may
worsen due to further tissue damage. These symptoms can vary from mild to
severe, but, similar to other asbestos-related illnesses, they may not become
evident until several decades after the exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Please note that prevention is the
ultimate thing that you can expect from anyone. The core reason is that there
is no treatment available for asbestosis. Understanding how to safely handle
asbestos can help prevent this illness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The severity of the condition is
influenced by the extent and duration of asbestos exposure. Those who are
exposed to asbestos over long periods are more likely to experience severe
symptoms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Asbestosis & Asbestos Exposure</span></b></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The basic thing that you should know
before understanding asbestosis is asbestos. It's a naturally occurring mineral
used for insulation, fireproofing, and enhancing the strength of building
materials for long.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The use of asbestos happens in
shipping and construction industry that actually expand during the late 1800s
and early 1900s. Asbestos, known for its effectiveness and affordability, found
applications in various industries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The asbestos fibers have the
potential to become airborne, and individuals can inhale them. Once inhaled,
these fibers can lodge in the body's tissues, causing irritation and damage to
cells.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Those most at risk of exposure worked
in occupations involving asbestos materials, like construction, mining,
shipbuilding, and roles within the U.S. Navy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">People who have contacted asbestos
for long will be at the higher risk of developing asbestosis later in life. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Not everyone may be aware of their
exposure to asbestos. If you worked in one of these high-risk industries before
1980, there's a high possibility that you came into contact with asbestos:</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the major causes of asbestos exposure
resulted from occupational exposure. Other than the above, there are many
people who encountered indirect exposure through family members who
inadvertently brought asbestos fibers home on their clothing. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Others faced exposure due to the
proximity of a factory or mine, as evidenced by the case of the W.R. Grace mine
in Libby, Montana.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are some other risk factors as

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Asbestosis occurs slowly and steadily
and doesn't happen overnight. But the symptoms take years to appear. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are people who don't detect
symptoms until many years after being exposed to asbestos dust. Please note
that shortness of breath happens to be the initial indicator of asbestosis when
symptoms eventually manifest. Please note that asbestosis symptoms include the
following:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Asbestos exposure results in
disorders that are characterized by long latency periods. Latency period means
the life span from asbestos exposure to the emergence of disease symptoms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While the latency period for

Mesothelioma Victims Center had stated that if anyone is diagnosed with
mesothelioma anywhere in the New York city, he will be able to call the
attorney Erik Karst to commence a fair compensation process. It's quite simple to approaching a mesothelioma law firm to get the required compensation.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIvH_lm5LbOyU5bFaP6ywqpAmt88EQzPaLzSWdggfUrGr-6eNsYALz5lKR3jiKfjXXzyc16hQmwwED5WWw-6Vd4bBEkT-m8yqXxcuhVT8OxwfI-5dqr_UXnIlLcwPm_VbUz7Cl1y9mqc__3qfwA-fnHWRdq1-tKrLnqkXjdkar-_G464VEkjD5IcoktQ=s1200" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="mesothelioma law firm" border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhIvH_lm5LbOyU5bFaP6ywqpAmt88EQzPaLzSWdggfUrGr-6eNsYALz5lKR3jiKfjXXzyc16hQmwwED5WWw-6Vd4bBEkT-m8yqXxcuhVT8OxwfI-5dqr_UXnIlLcwPm_VbUz7Cl1y9mqc__3qfwA-fnHWRdq1-tKrLnqkXjdkar-_G464VEkjD5IcoktQ=w400-h225" title="mesothelioma law firm" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">In its message to
the general public, the mesothelioma center has urged people not to worry about
the cost and just call the attorney on a given number so as to sue the company
responsible in such cases and a proper investigation could be started.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This is what the original statement
says, "If you are a current of former plumber who has just been diagnosed
with mesothelioma anywhere in New York State or their immediate family please
call attorney Erik Karst of the law firm of Karst von Oiste anytime at
800-714-0303 for a no obligation compensation analysis from one of the nation's
top mesothelioma attorneys as well as an in-depth explanation of how the
compensation process works. Mesothelioma compensation is based on how, where
and when a person with this rare cancer was exposed to asbestos."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Here the question is raised in cases
of a plumber who has to work in such an environment that he or she can be in
the direct contact with asbestos which is a known carcinogen. And this is what
it happened.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It all happened when a plumber who
worked prior to 1982 in NY or any other state, they had to deal with the daily
exposure to asbestos in the following manner like:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">They have to dig the wall insulation
having a percentage of asbestos. They have to do this task in a hope to locate
a plumbing pipe leakage.</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It also happens in cases of repairing
water pumps or changing out flanges, pipe gaskets or valves</span></li><li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In making repairs to a boiler or home
furnace.</span></li></ul><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In all the above tasks mentioned
below, a plumber has to deal with the risk of getting exposure to asbestos. And
it has been happening for the last several decades. But now, people and
authorities have become more aware for the dangerous effects of asbestos
exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But here the plumber has already
exposed to asbestos and caught mesothelioma due to which he is liable to get
the required compensation. But in order to have that, he needs to contact the
mesotheliomna attorney Erik Karst on the given number.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This is what the group has to say, "If
a plumber with mesothelioma anywhere in the United States wants the best
possible financial compensation it is vital-they can get specific about their
various types of asbestos exposure. The more specific the information the
better the financial compensation as attorney Erik Karst is always happy to
discuss anytime at 800-714-0303. Financial compensation for a plumber with
mesothelioma might be in the millions of dollars." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Please note that New York (NY)
Mesothelioma Victims Center is giving all the attention to assist former

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When we talk about the term
emphysema, it means a progressive lung condition which is generally
characterized with the damage to air sacs (alveoli) of your lungs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition to this, the above
condition leads to the slow destruction of lung tissue as well. Now, as this
medical ailment progresses, the person may find it quite difficult to breathe
and also to engage his or her daily or routine activities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Now, there can be a plethora of
subtypes of emphysema which are known by the terms like paraseptal emphysema,
bullous emphysema and subcutaneous emphysema. Before moving ahead, let’s discuss
what is meant by subcutaneous emphysema. Well, it can occur mainly when air or
gas is trapped underneath the skin. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The above can also reflect a type of
complication of COPD or it can also happen due to physical trauma to the lungs.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Bullous emphysema i another condition
comprised with the formation of an air pocket or bulla. The above generally
takes up space in the chest cavity and disrupting the normal functioning of
lungs. It's also known by another term called vanishing lung syndrome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In the same way, Paraseptal emphysema
can occur when the air sacs of lungs get inflamed or damaged in a way. It may
sometime lead to another complication of bullous emphysema.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As you are now already familiar with
the above terms related to subcutaneous emphysema, it's time to learn more
about subcutaneous emphysema and also how it gets stacked up against paraseptal
and bullous emphysema.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Subcutaneous emphysema is basically a
kind of lung condition where air or gas gets under the skin tissue. In most
cases, it's seen that it happens in the tissue of chest or neck wall, the above
condition may also develop in some other body parts as well. When it happens, a
person can see smooth bulging on the skin.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Please note that subcutaneous
emphysema is a rare condition which sometimes comes up after surgery of the
thorax. Still, there are many other factors that often contribute to the
formation of subcutaneous emphysema including blunt trauma or collapsed lung.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

check if it produces any abnormal crackling sound. This sound generally results
due to gas bubbles being pressed through the tissues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition to the above tests, the
doctor may also go ahead for some other tests like X-ray of abdomen or chest
not only to look for air bubbles but also to assess the functioning of lungs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The treatment will entirely depend by
looking at what exactly has caused the disease to occur. You may get hold of a
supplemental oxygen tank so as to ease any sort of problems like shortness of
breath. In severe cases, a lung transplant becomes necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

often have to come in the contact with asbestos including industrial workers,
military veterans and mechanics that were found exposed with asbestos while
performing their everyday duties.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It's not the only fact that asbestos exposure can be harmful
t health but those who come in contact with the mineral indirectly also have
dangers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the prime reason why
thousands of workers have been affected directly or indirectly due to the
asbestos or related products exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Now, the thing is that if anyone of you have been recently
diagnosed with <span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2018/08/can-you-get-mesothelioma-without-asbestos-exposure.html" target="_blank">mesothelioma</a></b> </span>or any other similar condition; you can easily file
a claim for compensation without any regrets. In most cases, people are found
exposed decades ago and their old employer is not in business. Well, even if
such a thing exists in your case, you are required to speak to a concerned
mesothelioma attorney to better file a claim for suitable compensation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Who Are the Workers At
Most Risk?</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">There are some industries that are prone to get affected due
to the asbestos exposure or related products. In other words, there are high
chances that you find asbestos related disorders among workers hailing to
certain industries like maritime and construction industries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Please have a look at some of the industries that are at most
risk:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Aircraft Mechanics</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The first industry is Aircraft mechanics who are involved in
working, and maintenance of helicopters, airplanes and some other airborne vehicles
that are involved to better keep hydraulics, mechanical systems and engines
work most efficiently. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In addition to this, such workers basically work at
airfields, repair stations and hangers. Talking about the asbestos and related
materials, they are mostly found in a plethora of aircraft components like
wiring, gaskets and brake pads.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The first time when it was found in the workers of military
and Civilian mechanics who were responsible to repair, install and maintain the
aircraft components. In that connection, one thing that appears which is often
revealed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Hundreds of Air Force veterans from the US during 1930s-1980s
were found affected with asbestos as a number of aircraft components contained
the dreaded mineral at that time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As per a study conducted in this regard, it was found that
there happens to be a high risk of asbestos exposure among workers involved in
repair and maintenance work of aircrafts. Right after that so many cases of <b><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2019/01/sarcomatoid-mesothelioma-diagnosis-treatment-survival-rate.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">sarcomatoid mesothelioma</span></a></b> started coming to the surface in workers involved in the repair
works on aircrafts. Some of them started growing asbestosis, pleural
mesothelioma and asbestosis after getting exposed to asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As you know, it takes decades to appear symptoms due to the
exposure of the mineral. Sometimes, it takes 15-60 years to develop symptoms of
the disease. Some of the symptoms include wheezing, chest pain and shortness of
breath. In fact, all of them are the most common symptoms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Boilermakers</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Boilermakers also come with the history of asbestos related
cancers. They have found exposed with asbestos and related products.
Boilermakers basically work at large industrial sites, ships and power plants.
They work to maintain, repair, assemble and install huge boilers and other
vessels and tanks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As boilermakers usually work on large boilers, plumbers work
at home. Boilers are generally divided into 2 groups:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Boilers are not alone but are assembled with some other
equipment like fans, valves, pumps along with soot blowers that contain a
specific amount of asbestos. As per an update, any boilmaker who has previously
worked on boilers (before 2000) is most likely to have exposed from these
vessels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Probably, this is the reason why boilmakers have been
categorized as a kind of job which is prone to involve substantial risk of
asbestos exposure. Please note that asbestos mainly present in boilers along
with associated equipment like valves and pumps. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>Also Read: </b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #2b00fe; font-size: 18.6667px;"><b><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2021/04/asbestos-exposure-how-diseases-risks.html" target="_blank">Asbestos Exposure: How Diseases & Risks Are Associated With Asbestos Exposure?</a></b></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2021/04/asbestos-exposure-how-diseases-risks.html" target="_blank"><br /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Bricklayers</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As the name suggests, a bricklayer is one who lays bricks and
pre cuts stones. At the same time, he also makes concrete blocks in mortar
which is further used for the construction work. It's also used to repair and
construct walls, arches, foundations, boilers, walls and other structures using
mortar and cement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Please note that masonry workers, brick masons and
Bricklayers were first exposed to asbestos and related products during
1960-1980. One of the reasons that became the cause of asbestos exposure in
such workers is that they never used any protective appliance like mask
(respirators) or cared to use wet saws to reduce the level of dust particles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It's clear that asbestos exposure is one of the major hazards
for masons and bricklayer. In addition to these workers, those who remain in the
close proximity of brick kilns and construction sites have chances to have some
exposure to asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Carpenters</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Like other workers, carpenters are also involved in many
types of works like installing walls, building walls, products made from woods,
door frames and other works. At the same time, they also cut various materials
and give them proper shapes. Most of the times, carpenters are involved in
making products of wood.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Carpenters also have a connection with asbestos like other
mentioned ones. A number of products were actually built containing asbestos
and similar materials like <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Carpenters might have been exposed to asbestos lately, they
have some other reasons of getting themselves exposed. One of the reasons is
that they have to work in the close proximity of other workers who have to
precisely work with asbestos containing substances.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The reason why carpenters came in the direct contact of
asbestos exposure is due to the fact that they never used any sort of
protection while working on the sites. For example, they should have used face
masks or other respiratory devices to better protect themselves while working
directly on the construction sites.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Today, when the awareness due to asbestos and related
products are growing everywhere, the government has also played a major role to
curb the above menace. The government has come up with some more protection
ideas like covering face with masks or any other respiratory protection
devices.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Cement Finishers</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">They are also known as masons who have to work with cement at
construction sites. They basically have to build various types of structures to
hold concrete and pour in freshly prepared mixed cement. After that they have
to spread it smoothly and level it out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In the meantime, they have to monitor the concrete and harden
it to make sure that the final product is well hardened and waterproof after it
is completely dried.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The kind of work that these workers are involved in have also
to fight with asbestos exposure. It's because it has been found that the place
or environment where these cement workers have to work (construction sites)
happens to be a high risk environment for asbestos exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">This is the time they use to get exposed to asbestos. This
mainly happens after a cement finisher works on site and gets involved in the maintenance
or modeling of sites. In short, they have the danger of getting exposed to
asbestos and related products at all times.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Electricians</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Electricians also have risks of getting exposed to asbestos
while work. It's mainly because they have to work on electrical boxes, panels,
motors and wires at all times. And so, they have to work either at home or any
commercial building for wiring and other electric fault.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It has been found that electricians have to work directly on
the asbestos related products and also have to remain present in the close
proximity of other workers where risk is equally involved. The products that
electricians use include electrical panel, boxes and more have asbestos
insulating materials. It's mainly used for the insulation of these products.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Arc chutes are one of the most common electrical products
that are used to prevent electrical arcs. In doing so, they often use
electrical board to line various electrical products. These products are also
loaded with gaskets as a sealing material.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As the name suggests, firefighters basically respond to fire
and other emergency services. As per the NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association), out of all firefighters, close to 70% happen to be volunteers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It's very common to see firefighters coming in contact with
asbestos and dust while coming in contact with such material. They can be
easily exposed to different asbestos materials from Fire equipment, Fire
engines, Fire uniforms and Fire pumps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">They are
also involved in the prevention of buildings at times. But they are exposed to
asbestos during inspection of Building materials, Valves, Pumps, Boilers and
other equipment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As per a

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">We have yet another occupation that can also have the
probability to allow asbestos exposure to its workers. Well, we are taking
about Foundry workers who have to work at factories who are involved to make
metals like copper, bronze, iron, steel and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Foundry workers can also get exposed to asbestos using a
number of ways. The kind of equipment that they work can really make them pay
a hefty price as they are mostly incorporated with the presence of asbestos in
them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Some of them include valves, ovens, pumps, furnaces and
tanks. All these instruments have the presence of asbestos in the form of an
insulating layer. For example, if you look at tanks, you can find their tops
are made up of asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Similar to other occupations, foundry workers may have been
exposed to asbestos at the time of installation of machinery and their parts.
Even at this time, foundry workers who have not protected themselves by wearing
face masks and other respiratory devices have high chances of getting exposed
to asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 273.05pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Laborers</span></b></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 273.05pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Laborers have the high risk of
asbestos exposure as they have to work directly on the construction sites. In
addition to this, they also have to clean the site, remove debris and other
material.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 273.05pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In that sense, construction laborers
are more prone to get themselves exposed to asbestos than any other worker. One
reason is that they have to constantly work on various materials and equipment containing asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 273.05pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">These kinds of workers were found
exposed with asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma. Most of the times,
symptoms of mesothelioma include chest pain, loss of appetite and pleural
effusion. In such cases, you need to consult your doctor.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">These workers always remain at greater risk of getting
exposed to asbestos at all times even if they follow all the norms and safety
precautions. It's because the asbestos particles may remain in the air and
settle on their clothing. And this can pose a greater risk to their families as
well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>

illnesses such as mesothelioma due to <b><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2023/11/asbestos-insulation.html" target="_blank">asbestos exposure</a></b>. The compromised roofs,

acknowledgment of the situation and attempts to address it, although delayed

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Until now, immunotherapy worked quite
well against the malignant mesothelioma which falls under a rare type of
cancer. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Ever since experts started using the
combination of nivolumab (Opdivo) and ipilimumab (Yervoy) later that same year,
it started benefiting mesothelioma patients.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">It all happened in June 2020 when FDA
had approved the use of the drug called Keytruda. And since then loads of
patients suffering from one or other type of mesothelioma have been able to get
benefit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But over the passage of time, it was
found that he new approach slowly declined the effectiveness as the treatment
relied to immune system to target and kill cancer cells.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When such a finding came, the team of
researchers from the Institute of <a href="https://www.aacr.org/patients-caregivers/about-cancer/what-is-cancer-research/" target="_blank"><b>Cancer Research</b></a> in the United Kingdom tried
to devise a new line of treatment to extend the lives of such patients.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">In the new approach, oncologists
started exploring to combine the immunotherapy drugs with a new medication
called guadecitabine so as to overcome the risk of resistance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Patients who are diagnosed with
mesothelioma are well informed that it is a rare type of cancer which is often
fatal. Still, experts continue to find new innovations to handle such a menace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The recent study conducted in the UK
didn't actually include mesothelioma patients. They simply included all those
patients diagnosed with different types of cancers and are even treated with
the same drugs as the asbestos-related cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">As per a report, after such patients

"description": "Wollert Asbestos Dump: A joint investigation by EPA, Victoria has been initiated after reports of Wollert Asbestos Dump containing asbestos came to light. The detailed investigation has been triggered by the City of Whittlesea and Environment Protection Authority, EPA, Victoria.
It all happened when the concerned officials found the waste lying by the side of Summerhill Road. This caused an initial inquiry to be conducted by the EPA which will soon investigate the matter and most probably prosecute the offenders.
As of now, the council has already removed the hazardous waste containing the deadly fibers of asbestos in the waste from the road side.
The waste basically include timber roof gathering in the form of tiles. It also included sheeting containing asbestos. Meanwhile, the council has sent the waste for its safe and secured disposal.
Jeremy Settle, who's the newly appointed EPA northern metro regional manager stated that this is a routine problem that the authorities have to face. Workers have to face problems when they slowly and steadily come in contact with the asbestos exposure.
This is what he said when asked about the unattended Wollert Asbestos Dump, “Unscrupulous operators are known to avoid the cost of taking waste to a properly licensed facility for disposal or recycling, by dumping loads in rural areas, parks and state forests, creeks, and even back streets and industrial areas,” he said.
“They might be doing the building or demolition themselves, or they might present themselves as waste removal contractors, attracting unsuspecting customers by offering extra-low prices that undercut legitimate local businesses.",

studying pleura, we also do study about its presence in some other organs. For
example, there are some additional pleura linings that basically covers or give
protection to outside of the heart (also known as 'pericardium'), the diaphragm

time of practice, pleura is not mentioned as two distinct layers. Instead, it

aspect of pleura is that it is a very thin and transparent layer and looks like
a paper like membrane.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

pleura give a soapy like feeling which is quite delicate and smooth. The other
fact about pleura is that the entire pleural lining is fragile having no
strength of its own.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

made up of two pleural linings, and between them there is a small space, often
termed as pleural cavity. This cavity has a small fluid meant to lubricate the
entire surface of lungs. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

sliding movement of lungs happens quite effortlessly with the help of this
fluid. It's because it also acts as a lubricant and thus helps them to contract
and expand with minimal effort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

interesting feature of pleural fluid is that it generates surface tension that
further helps to pull both visceral and parietal pleura together.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

act mainly helps lungs to expand effortlessly along with the movement of chest.
In other words, this ensures that when your chest or peritoneal cavity expands,
the lungs expand as well allowing them to be filed up with air.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

you analyze this on a microscopic level, you will be able to find that cells
that are lying inside the pleural lining have all the capacity to control the
amount of fluid within your cavity.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

example, if the fluid starts to accumulate, it may cause a problem. When the
pleural lining have the surplus amount of fluid, it will allow less space for
lungs to expand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

But do you know how it develops and the probable causes responsible to spread the dreaded ailment? Well, let's give you some insights about this form of cancer before proceeding further.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">Medical researches had </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">already</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">begun as early as 1935 to track down the most common causes related to the Asbestos cancer. After a series of extensive research, the factors responsible to spread this form of cancer was none other than asbestos exposure to your body. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, times new roman, bitstream charter, times, serif;"><br /></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, times new roman, bitstream charter, times, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">During the research, it was established by the National Cancer Institute that the level of asbestos exposure should be minimized to check the disorder under control. So, more will be the asbestos exposure to your body, lesser time it will take to spread the ailment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">In the year 1986, OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) confirmed without proclaiming any doubts that Americans who have to work with Asbestos are most prone to suffer Lung Cancer in the near future. So, Asbestos Cancer is going to be the greatest health hazard in America, if the level of asbestos exposure is not controlled.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><b>What's Asbestos Cancer?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">After throwing some light on the term, let's dig in more about the issues and causes responsible to spread the dreaded ailment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">Asbestos Lung cancer happens to be the rare form of cancer that has now become the prime cause of casualties in America. You will be surprised to know that as many as 5,000 deaths a year has been recorded due to asbestos cancer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">The figures look quite alarming and truly reflect almost 4% casualties happening due to lung cancer alone. The 90% of other deaths in America are linked to smoking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">Another crucial point that needs to be taken into account is the late diagnosis of lung cancer spreading due to the exposure of asbestos. This is due to the long latency period along with the development of onset of symptoms.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">Before letting you know more about this form of lung cancer, let's make you understand with the term asbestos first. Well, asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral and can be easily found near your workplace, homes or the environment.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">Asbestos has been in the use since 1880s due to a number of commercial purposes. Due to the extensive use of this mineral without proper protection, its use has been restricted. The mineral has even classified as a form of human carcinogen (cancer producing agent).</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">The mineral takes the form of <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinogen" target="_blank">carcinogen </a></b>after it gets disturbed for commercial uses and then releases a kind of microscopic fiber to the environment. If these fibers are inhaled, they tend to get entrapped in the lungs.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">If these fibers that you inhaled get unnoticed for a long period of time, they get accumulated in the lungs and actively involve causing serious inflammation and other related hazards. In certain cases, they even trigger the onset (development) of lung cancer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">As per the research conducted in this regard, the key factors that affect the onset of the disease include-</span><br />

</ul>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;">As per the Helsinki Criteria, the risk of development of lung cancer increases up to 4% with each year of its exposure. As per the findings of OSHA, the higher the asbestos exposure, the higher will be the risk of developing lung cancer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , "bitstream charter" , "times" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", "bitstream charter", times, serif;">One more thing that needs to be understood is the implications of its exposure, which doesn't always look apparent as soon as it starts bulging. The fibers tend to get lodged in the linings of the lungs. The size of these fibers (3mm) has a tendency to get accumulated in the lining of lungs, whereas 5mm fibers tend to get lodged within the lung tissues.</span><br />

his musical journey, Zevon encountered numerous triumphs alongside setbacks.
Departing high school to pursue his career, he initially composed jingles and
songs for various artists, eventually landing a touring opportunity with the
Everly Brothers in the 1970s. His travels led him to reside with Stevie Nicks
and Lindsey Buckingham, notable members of Fleetwood Mac.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

mid-1970s, collaborating with Nicks and other contributors, he released his
debut self-titled album in 1976. Although it achieved modest commercial success
initially, the album has since been recognized as a masterpiece. Zevon's
significant breakthrough came just two years later with the widely acclaimed
and commercially successful album, Excitable Boy.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

and relationship difficulties led him down a path of heavy drug and alcohol
use. After a period in rehabilitation, he dedicated himself to creating new
albums. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, he switched record labels, produced solo
albums, and engaged in collaborations, experiencing varying degrees of success.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

until 2000 that critics noted Zevon's resurgence with his album Life'll Kill

persistent cough, and later, debilitating pain and breathing difficulties.
Encouragement from others finally led him to seek medical attention, revealing

unforeseen revelation.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

his father's carpet store attic. Considering the widespread use of asbestos

the terminal nature of his cancer, Zevon chose to forego treatment.
Mesothelioma demands aggressive treatment for any chance at a cure, but given
his prognosis, he opted not to impede his remaining time. Instead, he focused
on his final album, The Wind.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

his career, Zevon shared a close bond with David Letterman, who remained one of
his staunchest supporters. In a 2002 interview with Letterman following his
diagnosis, Zevon humorously remarked, “I might have made a tactical error in not
going to a physician for 20 years.” While early detection of mesothelioma
typically offers limited hope, it does broaden treatment options and
potentially improves survival rates.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

his terminal condition, Zevon maintained his wit and positivity. Even when
discussing life and death, he remained characteristic in his response: “Enjoy
every sandwich.”<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

last months, Zevon participated in a VH1 documentary chronicling the creation
of his final album. Despite initial expectations of a short lifespan, he lived
to witness the birth of his two grandsons in June and the release of his last
album in August. The Wind reached number 12 on the U.S. charts, marking his
most successful album since Excitable Boy in 1978.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Investigating cases related to
<b><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2018/08/can-you-get-mesothelioma-without-asbestos-exposure.html" target="_blank">mesothelioma</a> </b>is not an easy task. It's because you need to prove that you got
injured after becoming a victim of asbestos exposure at your work. So, how will
you prove this?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, you would obviously require a
mesothelioma attorney who's not only qualified but also has a lot of
experience. Even if your attorney is perfect in every way, he would still need
a lot of time to collect all the viable information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">This will include your detailed
medical records as well as accident report. By looking at these reports, he
would be able to let you know the kind of compensation you are entitled to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Mesothelioma claims (in addition to
the above) still need a longer period of time as compared to other cases. In
order to crack such cases, your attorney would have to get in touch with a team
of specialists to determine where you were actually got exposed to asbestos.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Looking at all these prerequisites,
you need to hire someone who's there to help you out from any weird situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Also Read: <a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2018/08/can-you-get-mesothelioma-without-asbestos-exposure.html" target="_blank">Can You Get Mesothelioma Without Asbestos Exposure?</a></b></span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Your Attorney Should Value Your Claim Perfectly</span></b></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">One crucial thing that actually takes
a lot of time is none other than assessing the cost of mesothelioma claims.
It's the most challenging part of the investigation as well. It's because you
are expected to amount all the losses you have incurred. These generally
include all your monetary damages like your medical expenses.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">It may also include some non monetary
losses like all the suffering and pain that are far greater than anything else.
Due to this, your mesothelioma attorney needs to take his time to properly
assess all such damages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Dealing with such cases, you require
an experienced lawyer who knows how to comply with such a situation and also to
be able to provide you a detailed and thorough investigation report that you
can challenge in the court.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">In some cases, people often get
complaints for not been able to get a higher compensation. But it all depends
on how much you are able to legally prove the amount of your losses that you
have incurred.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">One hurdle that plays a crucial role
in dealing with most personal injury cases is the lack of resources. It's
because you need to invest a lot of resources that includes hiring a well
experienced lawyer. And this is where most people fail to go ahead filing their
cases.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">But there is a different approach
that you need to follow in filing mesothelioma cases. Although, these are similar
to personal injury cases, but need to be dealt in different way.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">There are many who fight their cases
on contingency basis where no up-front cost is incurred until the victim is
able to get his compensation. The best part is that victim no longer needs to
be concerned about his illness or to pay the fees in getting legal support.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">Dealing cases where you require a
mesothelioma attorney is easier as compared to other personal injury cases as mesothelioma law firm mainly has to concentrate on one form
of cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">In dealing with such cases, there are
a number of mesothelioma law firms that offer their specialized services at all
times. They are loaded with experienced staff comprising mesothelioma attorneys
and other experts who know how to assess different sources of asbestos
exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">It's a difficult task for mesothelioma

As per the information, the trail will be carried out at as many as 15 sites across the United States and China.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Brain Cancer Immunotherapy Treatment Trail</b> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The aim of this type of trail will be basically to examine if immunotherapy brain cancer vaccine named SurVaxM improves clinical outcomes, especially when added to the standard-of-care chemotherapy Temodar (temozolomide). Researchers expect to enroll 265 patients who will be randomized in the trial.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is what Abad stated in a press release, “For years, we’ve struggled to move the needle as far as good treatment options for glioblastoma. Our hope is that SurVaxM will offer patients both longer survival and better quality of life,” he said.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">“To hopefully be on the precipice of meaningful progress against glioblastoma and to be able to possibly see my patients outside of the hospital — years after their diagnosis — would be incredible.” he added.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Along with receiving SurVaxM in their trail phase, they are also expected to receive montanide as well. It's basically an oil based substance or formulation that comes forward helping the patient's own immune system to recognize the drug.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It further came to light that researches also intended to give such patients with a 2nd injection of Leukine (sargramostim). It's basically a bone marrow simulant that helps to boost patient’s immune system at the first injection site.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">As per the primary goal of giving such a treatment option to patients is comparing the effects of SurVaxM on overall survival rate. There are some secondary goals as well that are meant to track the number of grade 3nd 4 (severe and life-threatening) side effects, progression-free survival (PFS; time until disease progresses), as well as overall survival and PFS rates at specified time points.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">SurVaxM is becoming quite popular offering treatment against such diseases. It was first developed by Dr. Robert Fenstermaker, Neurosurgery and Michael Ciesielski, assistant professor of Oncology. The same medicine is now being developed by MimiVax, a Buffalo. It's basically a New York-based pharmaceutical company.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The above vaccine basically works by targeting survivin. It's a type of protein that helps cancer cells persist.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is what Fenstermaker stated, “Glioblastoma is a notoriously aggressive and hard-to-treat cancer. We are encouraged by the results from our earlier studies and excited to bring this treatment option to more brain cancer patients at more centers,” he said.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The above line of treatment has already been proved fruitful in a phase 2 study of 63 patients. They had up to 93.7% survival rate one year after diagnosis as compared to 66% survival rates in some other historical studies conducted earlier.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The brain cancer immunotherapy treatment trail is expected to be completed by April 2024. Researchers hope that this line of treatment is certainly going advantageous to hundreds of such patients.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Also Read: <a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2022/02/covid-19-vaccine-cancer-patients-mrna-vaccines.html" target="_blank">New Study Says COVID-19 Vaccines Are Safe for Cancer Patients</a></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Vipul Mathurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05411357717963520394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222145720712160671.post-21444460162091799182024-03-18T06:58:00.000+05:302024-03-18T06:58:40.054+05:30EPA Agrees to Address Asbestos Data-Collection Deficiencies<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 16pt; text-align: justify;">Do you

mesothelioma?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglIfjHV2uXFjzJ_G8hM1RRWHhNyZPZf6z8lHqsD1EHJWK2AyHZbIZY_1j_0xKpnFR48NjO9mlp94qWvdphEQJAhnmzcStx67A1Nh1TTDMaarWxXL9YMrECR5jJXifqAaf2bAiOtliKLEx9OANQEeCMTLQHa1WgtNkiToKq8g5I5DO_f3yR9kO6BQutT9lk/s900/magnesium_rich_foods.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="magnesium rich foods" border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="900" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglIfjHV2uXFjzJ_G8hM1RRWHhNyZPZf6z8lHqsD1EHJWK2AyHZbIZY_1j_0xKpnFR48NjO9mlp94qWvdphEQJAhnmzcStx67A1Nh1TTDMaarWxXL9YMrECR5jJXifqAaf2bAiOtliKLEx9OANQEeCMTLQHa1WgtNkiToKq8g5I5DO_f3yR9kO6BQutT9lk/w640-h360/magnesium_rich_foods.webp" title="magnesium rich foods" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">Just like any other nutrient,
</span><b style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">Magnesium </b><span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">also plays a vital role in the body. One of the crucial uses of
Magnesium is that it can repair the DNA.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">You might be wondering the relation
of <b><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2021/04/asbestos-exposure-how-diseases-risks.html" target="_blank">asbestos exposure</a></b> and Magnesium. Well, you might be aware that asbestos
exposure slowly damages the DNA of cells. And Magnesium has been found to
repair the damaged DNA from asbestos fibers that are present in the body after
asbestos exposure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If a person has a history of asbestos
exposure for long, it might develop into a serious ailment called mesothelioma.
It has been seen during studies that magnesium can readily reduce the risk of
developing mesothelioma and other types of cancers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In fact, if you look at the cause of
various diseases, most of them have a link to the deficiency of magnesium. It's
because the deficiency of magnesium relates to a number of diseases including
diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It has also been established that the
deficiency of magnesium is associated with developing some serious ailments
like mesothelioma and other types of cancers. At teh same time, it also relates
to the weakened immune system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As per a study published in journal
Cell, it has been established that magnesium is required to activate body's T
Cells as they are known to strengthening body's immune system and reducing the
risk of cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">At the same time T cells also play a
vital role to keep your body strong and safe from the attack of any disease.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another similar research published in
the journal Scientific indicates a direct link between lowering the risk of breast

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As we mentioned earlier, there are
different types of tests recommended to diagnose mesothelioma. These tests

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The only way mesothelioma can be
diagnosed is through biopsy. It's a procedure where a small tissue or fluid is
taken out from the patient and is examined for the presence of cancer cells.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

Diagnosis</span></b></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">After receiving a mesothelioma
diagnosis, the most critical step is deciding on a treatment plan. Treatment
options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The treatments recommended by your
doctor will depend on factors such as the location and type of tumors, as well
as the stage of the disease. Mesothelioma specialists offer access to advanced
therapies and participation in clinical trials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Being diagnosed with mesothelioma can
feel overwhelming for patients and their families. Establishing a strong
support network is one of the most effective coping strategies. Seek support
from family, friends, neighbors, and community members to navigate the
challenges associated with a mesothelioma diagnosis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Consider reaching out to your cancer
center to inquire about available social workers who can connect you with local
family resources and therapists for counseling. Additionally, ask about support
groups for cancer patients, as sharing experiences with others facing similar
challenges can be a valuable way to manage stress.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span></p><div class="post-bottom" style="-webkit-box-align: center; align-items: center; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;"><div class="post-footer float-container" style="-webkit-box-flex: 1; -webkit-box-ordinal-group: 2; clear: left; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.54); flex-wrap: wrap; flex: 1 1 auto; margin: 0px; order: 1; width: inherit;"><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1" style="-webkit-box-flex: 0; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.54); flex: 0 1 auto; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></div></div></div><p></p><div class="post-body entry-content float-container" id="post-body-992457914445494166" style="color: #757575; display: block; font: 15px / 1.6em Roboto, sans-serif; height: auto !important; margin: 1.5em 0px 2em;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b style="font-weight: bolder;">Also Read:<span> </span><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2022/02/association-found-between-immune-mediated-diseases-and-increased-cancer-risk.html" style="background-color: transparent; color: #2196f3; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Association Found Between Immune-Mediated Diseases and Increased</a> </b></span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-weight: bolder;"><a href="https://www.asbestosrelatedcancers.com/2022/02/association-found-between-immune-mediated-diseases-and-increased-cancer-risk.html" style="color: #2196f3; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Cancer Risk</a></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></p>Vipul Mathurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05411357717963520394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222145720712160671.post-28505907643613375322024-03-17T08:05:00.000+05:302024-03-17T08:05:58.759+05:30World Health Organization (WHO) Opens A New Site Cleansed of Asbestos<p><span style="font-size: 16pt; text-align: justify;">As per an update coming from the

asbestos.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 16pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJ4mxpm8wDWf7XcG4c4nMBW2tbGkX3JL5xyENC6vOwN0bdeHfkQjfUxH7eISf5qUGA_l4PL7I_v2oD6fDcMFa1d1olR6uvl7zjJxQ4kS7H6F7g-bU4H2vcX1Qir7_xZufGCBAyG-nkCU4VwcsQ2XUM_otNzQwkx5Of5xdkDuad_Mg3WrEg1X9Sg1yt6g=s1200" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="WHO" border="0" data-original-height="639" data-original-width="1200" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJ4mxpm8wDWf7XcG4c4nMBW2tbGkX3JL5xyENC6vOwN0bdeHfkQjfUxH7eISf5qUGA_l4PL7I_v2oD6fDcMFa1d1olR6uvl7zjJxQ4kS7H6F7g-bU4H2vcX1Qir7_xZufGCBAyG-nkCU4VwcsQ2XUM_otNzQwkx5Of5xdkDuad_Mg3WrEg1X9Sg1yt6g=w400-h212" title="WHO" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In the recent past, World Health Organization
(WHO) has given a tough fight to COVID-19 pandemic by providing all the viable
measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection. The recent move by the
organization will be a new dimension towards working in better conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The renowned UN agency recently held
its first news conference where Journalists from all directions looked ushered
into the brand new structure. It was actually connected by a clear passageway
along with a wide spaced pantry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is what WHO director-general
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated, “The last time we hosted you, in July last
year, none of us could have imagined that almost 18 months later, we would
still be in the grip of the pandemic.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The new structure is reported to have
been designed by a Swiss architect named Jean Tschumi. He's known to have
designed a 1960's building with new aluminum sun visors and glass facade. He's
getting all the appreciation by creating such a new brand structure which is
being considered as gems of modernism.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bernard Tschumi, who's the son of the
architect, was among the jury who got the privilege to select the latest design
for the expanded WHO campus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This is what he told to the media,
“Our Sunday morning walks were on construction sites”, Bernard Tschumi said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He further added, “The appropriate
precautionary measures will be taken to contain and remove any asbestos (or
other harmful material) in accordance with local building codes and health and
safety legislation.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">One of the WHO spokespersons stated
that he had no additional information regarding the removal of asbestos.
Asbestos exposure for a long period of time generally becomes the cause of
serious diseases including cancer of the lung, ovaries and larynx.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">It was only the last month when WHO
opened its new premises for all. The conference included the presence of health
minister who earlier endorsed a proposal for a new agreement to prevent future
pandemics. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“The building renovation aims to

Out of them 26,834 cancer cases among 61,496 patients were observed. This is what the investigation observed, “Many immune-mediated diseases were associated with increased risk of cancers in the involved organs and in the near and distant organs or different systems,” it revealed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The finding investigated in this regard concluded that organ specific immune mediated diseases had an overall risk of developing both local and total cancer. Some cases with asthma were also found in the study conducted.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A total of 48 immune related diseases were studied and spotted for further study.

insert a catheter. It acts as an indwelling pleural catheter. It constantly
drains the pleura. Doing this procedure not only saves time but also helps the
patient by not undergoing repeated thoracentesis procedures </span></li><li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Pleurocentesis is a procedure which has
