asbestos, serpentine | <chemical> A type of asbestos that occurs in nature as the dihydrate of magnesium silicate. It exists in two forms: antigorite, a plated variety, and chrysotile, a fibrous variety. The latter makes up 95% of all asbestos products. Pharmacological action: carcinogens. (12 Dec 1998) |

serpentine | 1. <chemical> A mineral or rock consisting chiefly of the hydrous silicate of magnesia. It is usually of an obscure green colour, often with a spotted or mottled appearance resembling a serpent's skin. Precious, or noble, serpentine is translucent and of a rich oil-green colour. Serpentine has been largely produced by the alteration of other minerals, especially of chrysolite. 2. A kind of ancient cannon. Origin: Cf. (for sense 1) F. Serpentine, (for sense 2) serpentin.

serpentine aneurysm | Dilation and tortuosity of an artery, sometimes affecting the temporal, splenic, or iliac arteries in the elderly. (05 Mar 2000) |
asbestos | <chemical> A fibrous incombustible mineral known to cause fibrosis and scarring in the lungs. Also a known carcinogenic material (can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma). (27 Sep 1997) |
asbestos, amosite | <chemical> Asbestos, grunerite. A monoclinic amphibole form of asbestos having long fibres and a high iron content. It is used in insulation. Pharmacological action: carcinogens. Chemical name: Asbestos, grunerite (12 Dec 1998) |
asbestos, amphibole | <chemical> A class of asbestos that includes silicates of magnesium, iron, calcium, and sodium. The fibres are generally brittle and cannot be spun, but are more resistant to chemicals and heat than asbestos, serpentine. Pharmacological action: carcinogens. (12 Dec 1998) |
asbestos bodies | Ferruginous body's with asbestos fibres as a core; a histologic hallmark of exposure to asbestos. (05 Mar 2000) |
asbestos corn | A granulomatous or hyperkeratotic lesion of the skin at the site of deposit of asbestos particles. Synonym: asbestos wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
asbestos, crocidolite | <chemical> Crocidolite. A lavender, acid-resistant asbestos. Pharmacological action: carcinogens. Chemical name: Crocidolite (12 Dec 1998) |
asbestos liner | A layer of asbestos used to line a dental casting ring so that during the heating and expansion of the investment the compression of the liner will free the investment from the restraint of the ring. (05 Mar 2000) |
asbestos lung disease | <radiology> Pleural plaques, earliest finding, may be only evidence, parietal pleura, 15-20 yrs after exposure, calcified after ca. 30 yrs, asbestosis, interstitial lung disease, perihilar regions to lung bases, shaggy heart, no cavitation or progressive massive fibrosis as in silicosis, crocidolite (blue) form most carcinogenic, associated with: malignant pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, GI-tract malignancy (12 Dec 1998) |
asbestos wart | A granulomatous or hyperkeratotic lesion of the skin at the site of deposit of asbestos particles. Synonym: asbestos wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
serpentine asbestos |
Asbestos characterized by curly fibers with a layered or tiered structure. Chrysotile, or white asbestos, is a member of the serpentine group and is also the most common form of asbestos used in industrial applications in the US
