    Extractions: Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Main The Mobile Register has a devastating expose of the asbestosis screening mills ( Jan. 21 and links therein). Dr. David Egilman, who had testified for over 100 plaintiffs, has switched sides in the wake of abuses. Over the years, he said, as the trial lawyers who hired him sent along the medical records of the plaintiffs, Egilman became increasingly troubled by what he saw. "I realized at some point that some of these people are not really sick," Egilman said in a telephone interview last week. "From a policy perspective, I'm interested in justice. If all the people who are not sick get money, then there won't be enough money for the people who are sick that's the main issue." Egilman said he believes that screening companies do two things that violate good public policy: They help generate tens of thousands of plaintiffs who aren't suffering from asbestos-related illness, thus draining billions of dollars from those who are ill; and they can create substantial health concerns on the part of those who get tested. The Register also interviews Dr. Greg Nayden, who quadrupled his salary by returning a 100% hit rate in his asbestosis screenings, and uncovers a number of similar incredible tales.

    Extractions: Definition Asbestosis is chronic, progressive inflammation of the lung. It is not contagious. Description Asbestosis is a consequence of prolonged exposure to large quantities of asbestos, a material once widely used in construction, insulation, and manufacturing. When asbestos is inhaled, fibers penetrate the breathing passages and irritate, fill, inflame, and scar lung tissue. In advanced asbestosis,, the lungs shrink, stiffen, and become honeycombed (riddled with tiny holes). Legislation has reduced use of asbestos in the United States, but workers who handle automobile brake shoe linings, boiler insulation, ceiling acoustic tiles, electrical equipment, and fire-resistant materials are still exposed to the substance. Asbestos is used in the production of paints and plastics. Significant amounts can be released into the atmosphere when old buildings or boats are razed or remodeled. Asbestosis is most common in men over 40 who have worked in asbestos-related occupations. Smokers or heavy drinkers have the greatest risk of developing this disease. Between 1968 and 1992, more than 10,000 Americans over the age of 15 died as a result of asbestosis. Nearly 25% of those who died lived in California or New Jersey, and most of them had worked in the construction or shipbuilding trades. Causes and symptoms Occupational exposure is the most common cause of asbestosis, but the condition also strikes people who inhale asbestos fiber or who are exposed to waste products from plants near their homes. Family members can develop the disease as a result of inhaling particles of asbestos dust that cling to workers' clothes.

Real Estate Law Asbestosis Navigation: Home Asbestos Law Asbestosis definition: Asbestosis is a serious threat to one’s health because it can cause severe forms of lung disease. Asbestosis is one form of asbestos disease. Asbestosis is a scarring of the lung tissue. Scarring of the lung tissue by asbestosis decreases the ability of the lung to exchange these gases. Second, one’s chances of developing a tumor or cancer of the lung is five times greater than normal if exposed to asbestos. Malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the sac lining the chest, the lining of the abdominal cavity, or the lining around the heart. Malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon cancer that is difficult to diagnose and poorly responsive to therapy. Malignant mesothelioma is the most serious of all asbestos-related diseases.

    Extractions: Asbestosis General Description Incidence Clinical Signs Pathophysiology Depends on interaction of lung macrophages and other parenchymal cells Still fibers land and penetrate small airways and cuts Macrosphages attempt to ingest and clear fibers and activate fibrogenic mediators as an immune response Chronic deposition of fibers and persistent release of mediators leads to generalized pulmonary inflammation and interstitial fibrosis. Asbestos bodies arise when macrophages attempt to phagocytose asbestos fibers using ferritin (they may exist as "ferruginous bodies" lacking an absestos core in normal lungs. in these cases there is no accompanying scarring and fibrosis).

Other characters Asbestosis, diffuse lung fibrosis caused by inhalation of asbestos fibres. Fibres thinner than 5 m m are probably deposited in the peripheral airways or, if extremely fine, the distal airspaces from which clearance is slow. The fibres not ingested by the macrophages or epithelial cells are transported in the interstitium of the lung, with resultant formation of aggregates mainly at the level of respiratory bronchioles. These result in fibrogenic changes within the interstitium. Generally, asbestosis occurs 1520 years following exposure. Disease progresses even after exposure cessation. The development of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is dose related, occurring only in those patients who have had long-term, high-level exposure. Initial involvement in asbestosis is peribronchiolar fibrosis. Fibrosis subsequently involves the alveolar walls and, when severe, leads to areas of scarring and honeycombing that involve large portions of the lung, predominantly in the subpleural areas. The diagnosis of asbestosis may be made on the basis of a combination of restrictive lung disease on pulmonary function tests as well as a diffusion abnormality, the presence of crackles at auscultation, and an abnormal chest radiograph. Ground-glass haze over the lower portions of the lungs characterizes the early stage, then radiographic features of

    Extractions: Second Verse, Same As The First. We’d like to welcome you to this month’s issue of the Lawyers Stink E-mail Newsletter. We certainly hope that you are doing well and enjoying a lawyer free day (it’s getting tougher and tougher to do these days) as we kick off a new year. Starting off a new year on the right foot sometimes means new year’s resolutions; where we attempt to break old habits and replace them with something much better in their place. I wish we could say the same thing about lawyers. While they’re starting off a new year too, sometimes it’s hard to teach old dogs new tricks. But then again, maybe not. Lawyers nationwide, ever the cunning lot, have learned a way to take an old habit (suing asbestos makers and manufacturers) and make it a new trick (suing everybody in sight). These money grubbing bloodhounds have learned how to take an old habit, namely suing the hell out of the asbestos industry, and finagle a way to squeeze out even more riches for themselves. Let’s take a closer look. Lawsuits against the asbestos industry are anything but new. As a matter of fact, the mass tort litigation aimed at all facets of the asbestos industry is the longest running string of lawsuits in American history. Asbestos related lawsuits erupted on the scene over twenty years ago and at this stage of the game, show absolutely no signs of letting up. Quite the contrary.

Media contact Public Affairs, news@njc.org Montana ResidentsPossibly Stricken with Asbestosis from Mining OperationHelped by National Jewish Respiratory Team DENVER-A few miles from Zonolite Mountain, in a modular building set in the parking lot of St. John's Lutheran Hospital in Libby, Montana, four National Jewish Medical and Research Center employees test a steady progression of people for 12 hours each day. Eight hours on Saturday and Sunday. Mining of vermiculite-contaminated with a naturally-occurring form of asbestos-from Zonolite Mountain for more than 30 years devastated the residents of Libby, causing lung cancer and asbestosis in workers and residents alike. Many people have died, and others have yet to be diagnosed and treated. Today, National Jewish, along with a team from the local community and several other organizations, is there to help by providing lung function tests for 70-80 people each day through a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contract. "We are screening people who were residents of Libby for at least 6 months prior to the plant closing in 1990," said Cecile Rose, M.D., who is coordinating the effort from Denver for the Division of Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences.
