mesothelioma : How Asbestos Causes Cancer
Posted at 1:06 PM | in
Did you know that doctors diagnose an estimated 3,000 cases of
mesothelioma annually in the U.S.? The majority of those are traced to
job-related exposures to asbestos. Most people have the pleural type,
which forms on the lining of the lungs, but the cancer can also form
around the lining of the abdomen or heart.
Although asbestos use in this country has dropped in recent decades, a
steady number of people are still getting mesothelioma. That's because
this cancer can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years after asbestos
exposure before symptoms appear, and an oncologist can make a definitive
diagnosis.
While there's no cure for mesothelioma and the outlook is generally
poor, researchers have made significant progress in understanding the
cancer and developing new treatment options and alternative therapies.
How Does Asbestos Cause Cancer?
Mesothelioma typically develops after people are exposed to asbestos in
the workplace – in industrial settings, shipyards, auto repair shops,
old houses, schools and
public buildings. While it usually takes long-term exposure to put
someone at risk, short-term and one-time exposures are also known to
cause this cancer.
Fast Fact: 70-80 percent of people with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos at work.
Asbestos can cause health complications when work duties or other
activities disturb asbestos-containing materials and release fibers into
the air. When we inhale or swallow these microscopic fibers, our bodies
struggle to get rid of them. Over decades, the trapped fibers trigger
biological changes that can cause inflammation, scarring and genetic
damage that sometimes leads to cancer. The lengthy gap between asbestos
exposure and diagnosis is called the latency period.
Asbestos fibers most often become trapped in the lining of the lungs,
called the pleura. They also can collect in the lining of the abdominal
cavity (peritoneum) or heart (pericardium). Once fibers cause biological
damage, the stage is set for the decades-long latency period for the
development of malignant mesothelioma.

Thoughts to continue playing Pokemon GO regardless of absence of substance
Trainers,
we know, we know. There is nothing to do in the game at this point,
right? It feels the same over here, and you’re not alone! Nick from TrainerTips, TheSilphRoad, everyone is down and waiting for the next content update.
So, what can we do to improve the waiting experience? Albeit, it’s not a lot, here’s a few tips on that!
1. Watch old Pokemon movies!
Check this out! MewTwo’s origin story, taken from the beginning of
“Mewtwo Strikes Back” is an amazing introduction to end of Generation I.
Remember, the movie was released in November of 1999, so it’s the older
breed of anime goodness.
You can see the entire list of Pokemon movies on Wikipedia, make your pick and enjoy the rest.
And for the love of everything, please stay away from speculation about
MewTwo coming out on 6th of February. The speculation in question is
taken from Pokemon Mansion notes about Mew and Mewtwo:
Diary: July 5
Guyana, South America
A new Pokémon was discovered deep in the jungle.
Diary: July 10
We christened the newly discovered Pokémon, Mew.
Diary: Feb. 6
Mew gave birth.
We named the newborn Mewtwo.
Diary: Sept. 1
MEWTWO is far too powerful.
We have failed to curb its vicious
tendencies…
2. Make a virtual challenge!
Virtual challenges are popular tools to keep you motivated and running.
We’ll be honest: we often make these challenges for ourselves in order
to keep playing! You can use MyVirtualMission or any other tool at your disposal to do so. So, ready to challenge yourself for a 30 miles walk this week? 🙂
3. Watch Pokemon Generations!
Pokemon Generations is a animated YouTube miniseries that shows best moments from all previous Pokemon anime seasons.
It’s a must watch for every Pokemon fan and with 18 episodes it’s an amazing thing to do on a Sunday afternoon.
4. Enjoy Fand Made Pokemon creations!
The internet is a wonderful place. Places like /r/pokemon and internet forums are brimming with ideas, people who like and care about Pokemon.
Join the community and enjoy! For example, here’s a type swap of Generation I starters 🙂
And here’s a crazy Minecraft Pokemon map. It’s amazing!
