High-resolution computed tomography features of asbestosis versus fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis: an observational study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2022
Background Asbestosis and fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP) share the pathogenetic mechanisms induced bronchiolocentric fibrotic process secondary to inhalation exposure.

Safety and tolerability of pirfenidone in asbestosis: a prospective multicenter study

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Pirfenidone slows down disease progression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Recent studies suggest a treatment effect in progressive pulmonary fibrosis other than IPF.

Asbestosis hospitalizations in Poland (2006–2016): results from the National Hospital Discharge Registry

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2020
Introduction and objective Occupational asbestos exposure is one of the major public health issues. Although asbestos use in Poland has decreased, asbestosis continues to remain an important health concern in the area of occupational medicine. The aim of

Serum concentrations of Krebs von den Lungen-6, surfactant protein D, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 as diagnostic biomarkers in patients with asbestosis and silicosis: a case–control study

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2017
Background Asbestosis and silicosis are progressive pneumoconioses characterized by interstitial fibrosis following exposure to asbestos or silica dust. We evaluated the potential diagnostic biomarkers for these diseases. Methods The serum concentrations

Cigarette smoking decreases macrophage-dependent clearance to impact the biological effects of occupational and environmental particle exposures [PDF]

Frontiers in Public Health
The retention of occupational and environmental particles in the lung is a primary determinant of biological effects. In the distal respiratory tract, particle clearance includes phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages (AMs), migration to the terminal ...

A case of pulmonary vein thrombosis with transient ischemic attacks diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
Pulmonary vein thrombosis (PVT) is rarer than pulmonary artery thrombosis (PAT). The diagnosis of PVT is often difficult due to its nonspecific symptoms, such as cough, hemoptysis, and dyspnea, and can be missed if the clinician does not suspect it.

Frequency of imaging phenotypes of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis [PDF]

South African Journal of Radiology
Background: Evaluation of diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD) in thoracic imaging is complicated. Radiologists often use a pattern approach to interpretation; however, they are rarely aware of the statistical frequency of disease presentation ...
