asbestosis incidence
Mesothelioma incidence is similar between the asbestosis and silicosis?

Thanks K, I was not sure where to go. Anreuro, I heard this last time, with the burning of rice fields in central Ca, I heard that the problem was ultimately proved to be the release of silicon, oxidized forms, in the atmosphere, Bagasosis (sp?).

Hopefully, answers this ;-) Spreedog Q. Maybe he (or someone else) will have a much better response. But, I will give this a shot … I found a 1997 in the cohorts of asbestos sprayers and silicosis patients were followed for cancer incidence. Total cancer lung cancer and mesothelioma, were dependent variables and criterion (<-not familiar with the statistics used), from what I saw. I realize This research is a bit outdated. There is no control group, but it looks like a report on the incidence, but even so, do not control much to attribute the results isolates effects. Anyway, from what I read, standardized incidence rates indicated that asbestos sprayers had a significantly higher incidence in developing mesothelioma. Patients with silicosis were only significantly higher incidence rates for all sites (ie, the total risk of cancer). Check out the abstract for you: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9131223?ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum Interesting little bit to do with silicosis and asbestos-related diseases. More recent, but not entirely relevant to your Q: Apparently, disease, silicosis asbestos-related and not only differ in their causal materials (obviously, actually), but also in terms of complications, autoimmune disorders is silicosis and common tumors in asbestos-related diseases. Asbestos-related disease patients also Show overpresentation restricted TCR-VBET without clonal expansion, while patients with silicosis overpresentation reveal important TCR-VBET 7.2. Basically, it can be concluded here that there superantigenic effects associated with asbestos and deregulation of autoimmunity-inducing effects of silica. I include these bits mentioned, for the sake of interest, really, but maybe you can pick up something related to your reasoning / history to do with asking the Q. This is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17166401?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez relevant summary. Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum EDIT: Then scroll down to the chart, entitled "asbestosis CDC vs. silicosis deaths "associated with" Annex 1 ". There is a very clear chart. Molestos. But quick skim, it looks like a comparison of individuals with asbestosis or silicosis is terminated due to malignant mesothelioma from 1980 to 2002. It seems that asbestosis increased and greater murderer (?): Http: / / www.actuary.org/pdf/casualty/asbestos_feb06.pdf
