For the past 70 years, separate international regimes have governed economic lives of refugees and labor migrants. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) oversees all aspects refugee resettlement, including livelihoods, while International Labor Organization (ILO) is charged with addressing rights This division has become increasingly problematic as actors sought to move into...

BACKGROUND Exercise impairment is common in subjects with asbestosis. Arterial oxygen desaturation during exercise is an important contributor to exercise limitation. The International Labour Office (ILO) classification of plain chest radiographs correlates with resting pulmonary function, but its value in predicting abnormal ventilatory responses to exercise, including desaturation, has not be...

Diazoxide (Diaz), an activator of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (mitoKATP) channels, is neuroprotective, but the mechanism of action is unclear. We tested whether Diaz preserves endothelium-dependent (hypercapnia) or -independent [iloprost (Ilo)] cerebrovascular dilator responses after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in newborn pigs and whether the effect of Diaz is sensitive to 5-hydroxydecanoate ...

OBJECTIVE Occupational lung diseases have specific radiographic manifestations not always well known by physicians. In Japan, asbestos-related diseases became a public health concern after the "Kubota Shock", when a number of workers and residents living nearby a manufacturer of asbestos-made ducts developed mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure. This preliminary intervention trial evaluated...

BACKGROUND Crackles are a prominent clinical feature of asbestosis and may be an early sign of the condition. Auscultation, however, is subjective and interexaminer disagreement is a problem. Computerised lung sound analysis can visualise, store, and analyse lung sounds and disagreement on the presence of crackles is minimal. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is superior to chest radio...

A new method for quantitative evaluation for high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lungs was developed by assessment of the distribution of radiological densities within the lung slices. To enable effective reduction of data and improve the sensitivity of detection of abnormalities, the density distributions were analysed by curve fitting through the gamma variate model. The output ...
