Pneumoconiosis: An Aspect from a Different Angle LTHOUGH THE PULMONARY REACTION
نویسنده
چکیده
LTHOUGH THE PULMONARY REACTION to all dusts is characterized in the early phase by a stroma of reticulin fibers, and this stroma remains essentially unchanged in reactions to so-called “inert” dusts, in the case of quartz dust, the reticutin is replaced by collagen after a latent period. Many papers have been written attempting to explain why quartz dust is so different as to cause a collagenous conversion of reticulin stroma.

Pulmonary granulomatous reaction: talc pneumoconiosis or chronic sarcoidosis?
A chronic pulmonary granulomatous reaction was associated with an almost identical clinical picture in two patients exposed to talc. In both patients lung biopsy showed the deposition of talc particles and a heavy granulomatous reaction. At the time of diagnosis the Kveim test result was negative in both patients, urinary calcium excretion was normal, and there were no extrapulmonary manifestat...
متن کاملRespiratory function of Witwatersrand gold-miners; a comparison between radiologically normal miners and control non-mining subjects.
The diagnosis of pneumoconiosis during life depends upon an industrial history and radiological examination (Carpenter, Cochrane, Gilson, and Higgins, 1956). However, many miners complain of dyspnoea but have no radiological changes at all. This has led to the supposition that long exposure to industrial dust hazards may lead to pulmonary disability which is not typical pneumoconiosis (Carpente...

Oblique impact of cylindrical projectiles with blunt, conical and hemispherical noses with different aspect ratios on metallic targets with different thicknesses is investigated and penetration critical angle is determined. Circular targets of Al1100-H12 had a diameter of 240mm and thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3mm. Steel work hardened projectiles with blunt, conical and hemispherical noses are made ...
متن کاملDetection of the pX gene of human T-lymphotropic virus type I in respiratory diseases with diffuse interstitial pulmonary shadows and lung cancer.
The presence of the HTLV-I gene in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was studied by polymerase chain reaction in 42 patients including 16 with lung cancer, 12 with diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), 11 with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), and 3 with pneumoconiosis and hematological malignancy. Sequences equal to a part of the pX gene were found in 44% of the lung cancer cases, 50% of the...

Results from a correlation survey which compared radiological and physiological findings during life with detailed morbid anatomical findings in the lungs of 247 deceased miners and ex-miners with pneumoconiosis were used to assess the extent and significance of their pulmonary disability.Coal workers' pneumoconiosis usually caused progressive impairment of ventilation, which in the simple type...
