Asbestos-related Diseases

Asbestosis is defined as diffused interstitial fibrosis of the lung, as a consequence of exposure to asbestos fibres, often associated with pleural plaques. Diagnosis of asbestosis, according to the American Thoracic Society (2004) is based on the following criteria: 1. hystopathological or imaging demonstration of structural alterations compatible with asbestos-related disease; 2. previous asb...

Restrictive lung function and asbestos-induced pleural fibrosis. A quantitative approach.

To assess further the clinical significance of asbestos-induced pleural fibrosis, we used a computer algorithm to reconstruct images three dimensionally from the high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) scan of the chest in 60 asbestos-exposed subjects. Pulmonary function tests, chest radiographs, and HRCT scans were performed on all study subjects. The volume of asbestos-induced pleural ...

Do asbestos-related pleural plaques on HRCT scans cause restrictive impairment in the absence of pulmonary fibrosis?

BACKGROUND It is uncertain whether isolated pleural plaques cause functional impairment. OBJECTIVE To analyse the relationship between isolated pleural plaques confirmed by CT scanning and lung function in subjects with occupational exposure to asbestos. METHODS The study population consisted of 2743 subjects presenting with no parenchymal interstitial abnormalities on the high-resolution C...

Non-malignant chest x ray changes in patients with mesothelioma in a large cohort of asbestos insulation workers.

To assess the prevalence of non-malignant chest x ray abnormalities in cases of mesothelioma 184 cases of mesothelioma (72 pleural and 112 peritoneal) which had occurred in a cohort of asbestos insulation workers followed up since 1967 were studied. Chest x ray films of satisfactory quality, on which the presence or absence of non-malignant radiological changes indicating interstitial pulmonary...

Asbestos induced diffuse pleural fibrosis: pathology and mineralogy.

Lungs from seven cases of diffuse pleural fibrosis with known asbestos exposure were studied to determine the gross and microscopic pathological features and relate these to the analysed mineral fibre content of the lung. All seven individuals had had substantial exposure, ranging from two to 25 years, and chronic chest problems and at necropsy all cases met the criteria for compensatable disea...
