Quantitative Assessment of Asbestos Fibers in Abdominal Organs: A Scoping Review.

Background: Quantification of asbestos fibers has been mainly performed in the lung but rarely in other organs. However, this may be relevant to understanding better translocation pathways and the oncogenic effects of asbestos on the human body. Electron microscopy is the best technology available to assess the type of fiber, dimensions, and distribution of asbestos fibers in different tissues and as a biomarker of cumulative dose.

Quantitative assessment of asbestos fibers in some normal and pathological extra-abdominal tissues-a scoping review.

Background: Asbestos is a mineral present in nature and it has been used for years in numerous settings. Asbestos enters the bloodstream and lymphatic system mainly through breathing.

Objectives: Studies with asbestos fiber's quantification in human tissues are scarce except for the lung.

[Efficacy of a new fenbendazole formulation produced by nanotechnology-based drug delivery system against nematodosis].

The efficacy of a new fenbendazile formulation produced by nanotechnology-based drug delivery system was investigated in45 sheep naturally infected with gastrointestinal nematodes. The formulation showed 95.6% efficacy against Nematodes spp.
