Respiratory Ill‐Health and Welding Exposures: A Canadian Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Respiratory ill‐health in welders is well documented but without a clear indication of exposures responsible. Methods In a Canadian cohort study of welders and electrical workers, we collected self‐reports of asthma/wheeze and rhinitis at each 6‐monthly contact for up to 5 years.

Abstract Donor and recipient human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) seropositive (D+R+) lung transplant recipients (LTRs) often harbor multiple strains of HCMV, likely due to transmitted donor (D) strains and reactivated recipient (R) strains. To date, the extent and timely occurrence of each likely source in shaping the post‐transplantation (post‐Tx) strain ...

Fibrotic lung diseases in children
Abstract In children, pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an extremely unusual entity that can be observed in some types of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Defining whether ILD is accompanied by PF is important for targeted therapy. Algorithm for the diagnosis of PF in children is not clearly established.

PAS staining of bronchoalveolar lavage cells for differential diagnosis of interstital lung disease
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a useful diagnostic tool in interstitial lunge diseases (ILD). However, differential cell counts are often non specific and immunocytochemistry is time consuming.
