Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- -
- Articles written in any language, regardless of the publication date.
- -
- Articles reporting a quantification of asbestos fibers in human peritoneal tissue including the greater omentum and mesentery (whether normal or pathological) by means of electronic microscopy in subjects with defined or undefined asbestos exposure.
- -
- The exclusion criteria were:
- -
- Articles not reporting a quantitative measure of the number of asbestos fibers found in human peritoneal tissue or reporting a measure by techniques other than electron microscopy.
- -
- Studies in non-human subjects or in tissues other than the peritoneum.
