Immunotoxicity of Medical Devices

Immunotoxicity of Asbestos

The study of asbestos immunotoxicity is generally applied toward understanding the mechanisms that lead to its infamous outcomes, mesothelioma and asbestosis, rather than as an outcome itself. However, emerging evidence suggests that asbestos exposure has critical inflammatory and autoimmune effects. Although crystalline silica is broadly accepted as an exposure trigger for systemic autoimmune ...

5 Immunotoxicity

As evidenced by recent documents prepared by the Office of Technology Assessment (9) and the National Research Council in 1992 (8) focusing on immunotoxicology, there has been growing interest and concern within the scientific and public communities on the capacity of environmental agents to perturb normal immune processes. The types of effects that may occur are often agent-specific as well as...

Wearable Medical Devices

A wearable medical device can be defined as a device that is autonomous, that is noninvasive, and that performs a specific medical function such as monitoring or support over a prolonged period of time. The term ‘‘wearable’’ implies that the support environment is either the human body or a piece of clothing. Handheld and portable devices are therefore not strictly speaking wearable, but this d...
