Surveillance of Occupational Lung Diseases in Canada

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1996
Surveillance programs for occupational lung diseases are reviewed, with reference to a two-year pilot study that was undertaken in the province of British Columbia. Members of the British Columbia Thoracic Society were invited to participate by reporting

Identifying causation in hypersensitivity pneumonitis: a British perspective

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Establishing whether patients are exposed to a ‘known cause’ is a key element in both the diagnostic assessment and the subsequent management of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP).Objective This study surveyed British interstitial lung disease (

Prediction of repurposed drugs for treating lung injury in COVID-19 [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease discovered in 2019 and currently in outbreak across the world. Lung injury with severe respiratory failure is the leading cause of death in COVID-19, brought by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Double Integral Enhanced Zeroing Neural Network Optimized with ALSOA fostered Lung Cancer Classification using CT Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Lung cancer is one of the deadliest diseases and the leading cause of illness and death. Since lung cancer cannot predicted at premature stage, it able to only be discovered more broadly once it has spread to other lung parts. The risk grows when radiologists and other specialists determine whether lung cancer is current.

Deep learning automated quantification of lung disease in pulmonary hypertension on CT pulmonary angiography: A preliminary clinical study with external validation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Purpose: Lung disease assessment in precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) is essential for appropriate patient management. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) deep learning model for lung texture classification in CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA), and evaluate its correlation with clinical assessment methods.

Asthma control in severe asthma and occupational exposures to inhalable asthmagens

BMJ Open Respiratory Research
Introduction Work-related asthma accounts for ≥25% of asthma in working-age populations, though the relationship between work exposures and symptoms is frequently missed, leading to poor health and employment outcomes.

Lung image segmentation by generative adversarial networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Lung image segmentation plays an important role in computer-aid pulmonary diseases diagnosis and treatment. This paper proposed a lung image segmentation method by generative adversarial networks. We employed a variety of generative adversarial networks and use its capability of image translation to perform image segmentation.

Do sanitary ceramic workers have a worse presentation of chest radiographs or pulmonary function tests than other ceramic workers?

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2017
Silicosis remains the most prevalent occupational disease worldwide. There have been no specific studies focusing on the association between exposure settings at work and the clinical severity in silicosis patients. In this study, we describe and compare
