Pneumoconiosis is an occupational lung disease that is related to coal dust exposure. Macrophages and fibroblasts become activated and focal lung fibrosis occurs. If left untreated, patients can progress to massive lung fibrosis which carries high mortality. History taking and chest x-rays are the mainstay diagnostic tests to confirm and stage pneumoconiosis. Current treatment of pneumoconiosis...

INTRODUCTION Information on the changes of pulmonary function and the right cardiac structure in patients with coal worker's pneumoconiosis in China is very scarce. This study was performed to clarify the changes of pulmonary function and right cardiac structure in patients with coal worker's pneumoconiosis in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS Pulmonary function, pulmonary artery systolic pressure,...

AIM Pneumoconiosis is caused by inhaling dust. The aim of the study was to analyze 208 cases of workers' pneumoconiosis. METHOD Patients' files were used for the descriptive study. RESULTS All patients were male aged 38.82±13 years. The most important symptom was breathlessness. Patients were denim sandblasters (50.5%), dental technicians (12%), coal miners (6.7%), and others. The mean expo...
