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

The PERK/ATF4 pathway is required for metabolic reprogramming and progressive lung fibrosis [PDF]
JCI InsightAsbestosis is a prototypical type of fibrosis that is progressive and does not resolve. ER stress is increased in multiple cell types that contribute to fibrosis; however, the mechanism(s) by which ER stress in lung macrophages contributes to fibrosis is

Distribution of Asbestos Enterprises and Asbestosis Cases — China, 1997−2019
China CDC Weekly, 2020 What is already known on this topic? Asbestos is classified as a Class I Carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) because exposure causes mesothelioma and lung cancer in addition to asbestosis and plaques. So far, asbestos has

Aspirated Soybean Mimicking Endobronchial Tumour Removed With a Cryoprobe. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepWe present a case of an airway foreign body removed by cryoprobe that was initially considered to be endotracheal lipoma or endobronchial hamartoma based on imaging findings. ABSTRACT Adult airway foreign bodies are misdiagnosed as endobronchial tumours on imaging. A 77‐year‐old man with asbestosis presented with a worsening cough. Computed tomography (

Silicosis, asbestosis, and pulmonary fibrosis in Ontario, Canada from 1996 to 2019.
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2023 BACKGROUND Silicosis is a fibrotic lung disease caused by exposure to respirable crystalline silica. Historically, silicosis was common among miners and other professions in the 20th century, and in recent decades has re-emerged in coal mining and ...

Association between increased small airway obstruction and asbestos exposure in patients with asbestosis [PDF]
Clinical Respiratory Journal, 2017 Asbestos exposure may cause asbestos‐related lung diseases including asbestosis, pleural abnormalities and malignancies. The role of asbestos exposure in the development of small airway obstruction remains controversial.
