Pathology and Mineralogy Demonstrate Respirable Crystalline Silica Is a Major Cause of Severe Pneumoconiosis in U.S. Coal Miners

Annals of the American Thoracic Society, 2022
Rationale The reasons for resurgent coal workers’ pneumoconiosis and its most severe forms, rapidly progressive pneumoconiosis and progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), in the United States are not yet fully understood. Objectives To compare the pathologic

Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis in Chest X-ray Radiographs Using Machine Learning: A Systematic Literature Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
Computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems can assist radiologists in detecting coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) in their chest X-rays. Early diagnosis of the CWP can significantly improve workers’ survival rate.

Characteristics of blood test indexes in patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with tuberculosis

环境与职业医学, 2022
BackgroundThe positive rate of sputum bacteria in patients with pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis is lower than that in patients with simple tuberculosis, which makes the disease assessment more difficult.ObjectiveTo compare the ...

Pneumoconiosis: current status and future prospects

Chinese Medical Journal, 2021
Pneumoconiosis refers to a spectrum of pulmonary diseases caused by inhalation of mineral dust, usually as the result of certain occupations. The main pathological features include chronic pulmonary inflammation and progressive pulmonary fibrosis, which ...

Follow-up and retrospective investigation of pneumoconiosis cases in a county of Ningbo City from 1974 to 2019

环境与职业医学, 2023
BackgroundPneumoconiosis is one of the most common and widespread prescribed occupational diseases in China, and there is no cure for it at present. The Healthy China 2030 underlines that the prevention and treatment of pneumoconiosis are the critical ...

Detection and Visualisation of Pneumoconiosis Using an Ensemble of Multi-Dimensional Deep Features Learned from Chest X-rays

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
Pneumoconiosis is a group of occupational lung diseases induced by mineral dust inhalation and subsequent lung tissue reactions. It can eventually cause irreparable lung damage, as well as gradual and permanent physical impairments.

A Diagnostic Mimic of Lung Cancer: Nodular Pulmonary Amyloidosis Presenting With Cystic Changes. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
A 62‐year‐old man with coal workers' pneumoconiosis and a heavy smoking history presented with progressive respiratory symptoms and cystic lung lesions. Surgical biopsy revealed localised AL (kappa) nodular pulmonary amyloidosis, highlighting the need to consider amyloidosis in the differential diagnosis of cystic lung disease with indeterminate ...

Effects of chemical composition on the lung cell response to coal particles: Implications for coal workers' pneumoconiosis

Respirology (Carlton South. Print), 2022
Coal mine dust has a complex and heterogeneous chemical composition. It has been suggested that coal particle chemistry plays a critical role in determining the pathogenesis of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP).
