Clinical description of asbestos related diseases. Animated diagram depicts that worker working without protective gear at asbestos work site, breathe in asbestos with oxygen. It shows functions of alveoli. Asbestos particles thicken the lung wall and affects alveoli, which reduces worker's breathing capacity. The worker suffers from asbestosis. Worker smokes cigarette then smoke of cigarette enters into body and reacts with asbestos, which is very harmful and causes lung cancer. If worker quits smoking then chances of getting lung cancer will be reduced by 50 %. Asbestos affects pleurae and causes mesothelioma. Location: United States USA. Date: 1980.

Matthews watching screen at betting shop STORYLINE A British man who bet on his chances of beating his terminal cancer prognosis walked away with five-thousand pounds (9895 US dollars) in winnings on Sunday, according to a report by British broadcaster Sky News. Jon Matthews, 58, was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer, called Mesothelioma, in April 2006, according to the report. At the time doctors predicted that he would not live until Christmas of that year. After beating those odds, Mathews decided to place a bet with bookmakers, that he would survive until June 1 2008 - a full 25 months after his diagnosis. "I had lasted six months more than they said I would. And I thought, well why not?" Matthews told Sky. Matthews bet 100 pounds (198 US dollars) at odds of 50 to one, according to the report. On Sunday he collected five thousand pounds (9895 US dollars) in winnings. But he is not stopping there, Matthews has already placed a second bet that he will still be around this time next year. With the support of his friends and community, Matthews hopes to not only be alive to collect his winning this time next year, but the year after that as well. "It is really difficult because I want to see him win the next bet but at the same time it is so hard," friend Andy Nicholson told Sky. But Matthews is optimistic about his chances. "I've got this far I can get further," he said. Doctors told Matthews that if he lived until June 1 2008 - he would beat the longest survival time Mesothelioma. =============== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.

Lung cancer. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a mesothelioma. This malignant (cancerous) lung tumour is usually associated with asbestos exposure. Sheets of elongated cells form the structure seen. Mesotheliomas develop on the pleural membrane outside the lungs, eventually growing to form a white mass that covers both lungs and obliterates the pleural cavity (space around lungs). This form of cancer is difficult to treat and is often fatal. Cancers are malignant growths that result from abnormal and uncontrolled cell division.

WABC FTG SHELDON SILVER ARRIVING TO COURT Sheldon Silver told Dr. Robert Taub to keep scheme a secret, feds' witness says at corruption trial BY STEPHEN REX BROWN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, November 4, 2015, 3:02 PM A A A 7 1 SHARE THIS URL Dr. Robert Taub (l.) testifies in the trial of Sheldon Silver (r.) in U.S. District Court Wednesday, saying he had an arrangement with the former Assembly Speaker that he kept secret. JANE ROSENBERG/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Dr. Robert Taub (l.) testifies in the trial of Sheldon Silver (r.) in U.S. District Court Wednesday, saying he had an arrangement with the former Assembly Speaker that he kept secret. The star witness in the government's case against Sheldon Silver said Tuesday the assemblyman asked him to keep their arrangement under wraps. Columbia University oncologist Dr. Robert Taub said he was introduced to the former Assembly Speaker in the 1980s through a mutual friend, Daniel Chill. In 2003 Taub began referring patients suffering from mesothelioma to Silver, who then directed them to the powerhouse law firm Weitz & Luxenberg. "I hoped to develop a relationship with him that would help fund mesothelioma research and help my patients," Taub, 79, said, sporting a colorful bowtie. "I think that he conveyed he was pleased with the referrals he was getting." In 2004 Chill - an attorney with ties to the State Assembly - asked his name not be included in a letter from Taub to Silver requesting state money for the research, which he ultimately received. In 2005, around the time of Silver's inauguration, he told Taub to keep Chill in the dark about the deal, Taub said. The alleged quid pro quo arrangement with Taub is one of two secret corruption schemes federal prosecutors say Silver orchestrated. SETH WENIG/AP The alleged quid pro quo arrangement with Taub is one of two secret corruption schemes federal prosecutors say Silver orchestrated. "(Silver) said I should not tell Mr. Chill about any further referrals," Taub said. "I didn't know how to take it," he said, adding that he complied with the request. Taub received two separate grants for $250,000 from the state Department of Health without having to answer any questions about his work, he said. In October 2007 Silver came to Taub's office and said he had to pull the plug on the state cash. "I can't do this anymore," Taub recalled Silver saying. "I was disappointed," said Taub, who nevertheless continued sending patients to Silver. Asbestos lawyer Perry Weitz (l.) testifies at the trial. JANE ROSENBERG/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Asbestos lawyer Perry Weitz (l.) testifies at the trial. Judge Valerie Caproni did not allow Taub to explain how he first learned Silver wanted the patients sent his way. The arrangement earned Silver $3 million in referral fees over the course of 10 years, prosecutors say. Silver also helped Taub's daughter score an unpaid internship with a state judge and got his son a job, he testified. The alleged quid pro quo arrangement with Taub is one of two secret corruption schemes federal prosecutors say Silver, a Lower East Side Democrat, orchestrated. Taub, who testified in exchange for a promise he wouldn't face federal charges, said when the feds visited his apartment in 2014 he was terrified and initially lied to investigators. He later copped to obtaining prescription pain drugs for his wife that were improperly made out to him.
