Debate accused of hypocrisy in the international asbestos Canada and Quebec Minister of industry

Quebec's industry Minister Clément Gignac has asked dismantled the provincial Workplace Safety Board to perform an annual audit to secure international use of asbestos in Quebec, a commitment that quickly dismissed by critics as "utopian and hypocritical.". Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been banned from use in Canada because it is known to deadly diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the protective lining of the heart, lungs, causing chest and stomach.

Gignac's appeal came on the heels of growing opposition on the planned reopening of Jeffrey mine in the town of asbestos, South of Quebec, which in 2002 closed. Reopening of the mine would restore 250 jobs and world asbestos increase capacity by 10%. It is also a step the certainly asbestos, not only locally, but abroad as well as increase would.

Prolonged exposure to asbestos, the primary cause of mesothelioma is a silent killer than takes the cancer develop decades and which is generally recognized as soon as it reaches level three or four. Because the cancer to the point of no return, will be symptomatic most patients themselves, aggressive mesothelioma must be subject to treatment, a painful combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy only get about buy six months of life.

Asbestos-related diseases to kill more than 107,000 people every year, so the reopening of the mine and international asbestos sale an ethical dilemma. The international debate has ugly, but Canada seems dead to preserve its asbestos trade, and harsh criticism from the international community set. For example, the Lancet, a British magazine accused Canada 'Hypocrisy', points out that Canada "actively remove asbestos from its buildings is", but it exports asbestos, mainly in Asian countries as a cheap way to reinforce concrete.

A drug-loaded polymeric nanoparticle shrinks mesothelioma metastases tumors

Ovarian cancer and mesothelioma - a rare cancer of the protective lining of the large body cavities and the institutions that included - tend metastases to generate, to disseminate within the abdominal cavity. As a result of these metastases drops survival over five years less than 40%, even if the metastasizing solid tumors have been surgically moved.

A team of researchers at Boston University, with the participation of investigators from Brigham and women's Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, has developed a drug loaded polymer nanoparticles has the goals and treated this annoying metastases. Nanoparticles responds to the acidic pH in tumor cells by expand and share the anti-cancer agent paclitaxel slowly over a period of 24 hours. Tests have shown that these nanoparticles reduced tumor growth not only, but prevents new tumor implantation in the abdominal cavity.

Current mesothelioma treatment is a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, so that when these nanoparticles prove successfully could also start this therapy to change. Treated the current treatment for peritoneal tumors survived extensible with the drug loaded nanoparticles nearly twice as long as animals treated with free paclitaxel. And in other experiments were injected nanoparticles in the abdominal cavity, networked tumor sites and stayed there for at least seven days.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Alliance for nanotechnology in cancer currently trying performance of nanotechnology to radically change how we diagnose, treat and prevent cancer. Many scientists in the private and public sector believe nanotechnology is the key to keep pace with today's explosion in scientific knowledge.

The wedge tailed Plover mountains are rich in erionite and source the Dunn County surrounding stone are the only nearby.

Ed Murphy, who learned about North Dakota State geologists, the Turkish cancer villages five years ago and grew very worried. Thanks to his inquiry erionite found in the gravel over hundreds of kilometres of roads, driveways, parking lots and fields. This meant that each time the gravel was disturbed people carcinogenic erionite inhalation have been towards the pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma may result in the lining of the lungs and stomach or concerns.

Murphy's study became a global collaboration with cancer biologists, geologists, epidemiologists, environmental scientists and doctors. This team has worrying come to concern concluded that the extent of erionite are the same as in the Turkish cancer villages exposure in North Dakota.
