| 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 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, 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) |
| asbestos wart | A granulomatous or hyperkeratotic lesion of the skin at the site of deposit of asbestos particles. Synonym: asbestos wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alcoholic hyaline bodies | Large, poorly defined accumulations of eosinophilic material in the cytoplasm of damaged hepatic cells in certain forms of cirrhosis and marked fatty change especially due to alcoholism. Synonym: alcoholic hyalin, alcoholic hyaline bodies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Alder bodies | Granular inclusions in polymorphonuclear leukocytes; they take on a dark colour with Giemsa-Wright stain and react metachromatically with toluidine blue. See: Alder's anomaly. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyloid bodies of the prostate | An obsolete term for small masses of colloid material often present in the tubules of the gland. See: corpus amylaceum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic bodies | Small clusters of chemoreceptive and supporting cells located near the aortic arch, the pulmonary arteries, and the coronary arteries. The aortic bodies sense pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen concentrations in the blood and participate in the control of respiration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Arnold's bodies | Small portions or minute fragments of erythrocytes (sometimes mistaken for blood platelets), or small "ghosts" of erythrocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Aschoff bodies | <pathology> Small granulomas composed of macrophages, lymphocytes and multinucleate cells grouped around eosinophilic hyaline material derived from collagen. Characteristic of the myocarditis of rheumatic fever. (18 Nov 1997) |

Asbestos bodies are a subset of ferruginous bodies, the structures formed when iron-protein deposition occurs on fibers in the body. Because asbestos is by far the most commonly occurring core material, the presence of ferruginous bodies in sputum indicates a significant past exposure to asbestos.
