The comparison of high-resolution computed tomography findings in asbestosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND To determine whether the HRCT findings are useful to differentiate asbestosis from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). METHODS We assessed HRCT scans from patients with asbestosis (n = 96) and IPF (n = 65).

Exposure-response estimate for lung cancer and asbestosis in a predominantly chrysotile-exposed Chinese factory cohort.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND Cumulative fiber exposures, predominantly chrysotile, were estimated in a Chinese asbestos worker cohort and exposure-response relationships with lung cancer mortality and cumulative incidence of asbestosis were determined.

Radiology of asbestosis

Environmental Research, 1970
Abstract Asbestos can damage the lung and may cause pulmonary fibrosis, pleurisy with the formation of thick plaques, mesothelioma of the pleura and peritoneum, and carcinoma of the lung. Forty-three cases of deceased asbestos workers who had X-rays of their chests taken during their working lifetime are reviewed.

Commentary on pathologic diagnosis of asbestosis and critique of the 2010 Asbestosis Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and Pulmonary Pathology Society's (PPS) update on the diagnostic criteria for pathologic asbestosis.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2015
We reviewed the 2010 Asbestosis Committee's update on the diagnostic criteria for pathologic asbestosis. We must respectfully disagree with many of the criteria set forth therein, especially for recognizing asbestosis at its earliest stages; with ...

Asbestosis in long-term employees of an Ontario asbestos-cement factory.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
We studied the development of compensable (certified) asbestosis among the 201 workers at an asbestos-cement factory who were first exposed to asbestos dust prior to 1980 and who had been employed at least 15 yr.

Radiographic progression of asbestosis

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1982
AbstractA group of 85 patients with roentgenological evidence of asbestosis were examined on two occasions within a three‐ to four‐year interval, first in 1976‐1977 and again in 1979‐1981. During this follow‐up period, the asbestosis (interstitial pulmonary fibrosis) of 26 (31%) showed progression.

Characterization of the bronchoalveolar cellular response in experimental asbestosis. Different reactions depending on the fibrogenic potential.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015
Analysis of bronchoalveolar cell types and structure was performed during the development of asbestos-induced lung injury in the rat. Animals received single intratracheal injections of one of the following: saline (control), UICC chrysotile B asbestos ...

Iron and Iron-Related Proteins in Asbestosis.

Journal of Environmental Pathology And Toxicology, 2015
We tested the postulate that iron homeostasis is altered among patients diagnosed to have asbestosis. Lung tissue from six individuals diagnosed to have had asbestosis at autopsy was stained for iron, ferritin, divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), and ...
