N1  - Mineralogy of Asbestos -- Occupational and Environmental Exposure to Asbestos -- Asbestos Bodies and Nonasbestos Ferrginous Bodies -- Asbestosis -- Mesothelioma -- Benign Asbestos-Related Pleural Diseases -- Carcinoma of the Lung -- Other Neoplasia -- Cytopathology of Asbestos-Associated Diseases -- Experimental Models of Asbestos-Related Diseases -- Analysis of Tissue Mineral Fiber Content -- Medicolegal Aspects of Asbestos-Related Diseases
N2  - The third edition of Pathology of Asbestos-Associated Diseases builds on the success of the previous editions by fully updating knowledge on diagnostic and epidemiologic aspects and presenting important new insights derived from new epidemiologic studies and animal studies. Background information is first provided on the mineralogy of asbestos, occupational and environmental exposure, and asbestos bodies. The various diseases associated with asbestos exposure are then considered in turn, with detailed description and illustration of pathologic features as well as extensive discussion of etiology, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Further chapters are devoted to cytopathology, experimental models of disease, and analysis of tissue mineral fiber content. In addition, the medicolegal issues relating to asbestos-associated diseases are analyzed from the point of view of both the plaintiff and the defendant. This book will be an essential reference for pathologists and an invaluable source of information for pulmonologists, radiologists, and occupational medical practitioners
