Occupational interstitial lung diseases

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 294, Issue 6, Page 798-815, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Millions of workers are exposed to substances known to cause occupational interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), particularly in developing countries. However, the burden of the disease is likely to be underestimated due to under‐recognition, under‐reporting or both.

Virtuous spillover effects of quality penalties on the continuity of health care

Production and Operations Management, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 2846-2863, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Ensuring continuity of care for patients after an intensive hospitalization episode is a complex dilemma that plagues the US health‐care system. Despite its influence on health outcomes such as mortality and readmissions, it is difficult to construct policy instruments such as report cards or penalties for improving continuity of care due to ...

Difficulties in distinguishing silicosis and pulmonary tuberculosis in silica‐exposed gold miners: A report of four cases

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 339-348, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Silicosis and tuberculosis (TB) are both global health concerns, with high prevalence among miners from the South African gold mines. Although knowledge has accumulated about these two conditions as distinct diseases since the early 20th century, and despite progress in technology with multiple diagnostic tools and treatment options available ...

Spatial Distribution and Physicochemical Properties of Respirable Volcanic Ash From the 16–17 August 2006 Tungurahua Eruption (Ecuador), and Alveolar Epithelium Response In‐Vitro

GeoHealth, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) intermittently emitted ash between 1999 and 2016, enduringly affecting the surrounding rural area and its population, but its health impact remains poorly documented. We aim to assess the respiratory health hazard posed by the 16–17 August 2006 most intense eruptive phase of Tungurahua.

Estimating mortality from coal workers' pneumoconiosis among Medicare beneficiaries with pneumoconiosis using binary regressions for spatially sparse data

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 262-267, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) is an occupational lung disease due to inhalation of coal dust. We estimated mortality from CWP and other pneumoconioses among Medicare beneficiaries. Methods We used the 5% Medicare Limited Claims Data Set, 2011–2014, to identify patients diagnosed with ICD‐9‐CM 500 (CWP) through 505 (Asbestosis ...

[Retracted] Serum Levels of Mitochondrial Fission‐ and Fusion‐Related Genes of Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis and Risk Factor Analysis Based on a Generalized Linear Model

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Objective. We aimed to explore the risk factors for coal workers’ pneumoconiosis and to further explore the significance of mitochondrial fission and fusion factors in CWP and verify the feasibility of mitochondrial fission and fusion factors as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Methods.

Use of Proton‐Pump Inhibitor Is Not Associated with Adverse Clinical Outcomes in COVID‐19 Patients: A Territory‐Wide Cohort Study

GastroHep, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. Evidence regarding the use of proton‐pump inhibitors (PPIs) in COVID‐19 patients remains elusive. Aim. To examine the potential effects of PPI use on the clinical outcomes of COVID‐19 patients in a territory‐wide cohort. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was performed using data from a territory‐wide database in Hong Kong.

The Use of Oral Amino‐Bisphosphonates and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19) Outcomes

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page 2177-2183, November 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The determinants of the susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome‐coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection and severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) manifestations are yet not fully understood. Amino‐bisphosphonates (N‐BPs) have anti‐inflammatory properties and have been shown to reduce the incidence of lower respiratory infections,

Smoking, occupational exposures, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis among Swedish construction workers

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 251-257, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Cigarette smoking and occupational exposures each have been reported to increase the risk of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease previously considered of unknown origin. We investigated the risk of IPF mortality associated with combined smoking and occupational exposures.
