Advances in vital‐sign prediction and early‐warning models for underground coal mine workers integrating environmental factors

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes advances in predicting miners' vital signs by integrating environmental monitoring (dust, temperature, and gas) with physiological data. It highlights multi‐source data fusion techniques and early‐warning models for enhanced occupational safety in underground coal mines.

The 2025 ATS/ERS update of the international multidisciplinary classification of the interstitial pneumonias: implications for the pathologist

Histopathology, EarlyView.
This review highlights changes relevant to pathologists in the updated multidisciplinary classification of interstitial pneumonias. Changes include expansion beyond idiopathic disease, subclassification as interstitial (fibrotic vs non‐fibrotic) and alveolar filling disorders, expansion to include additional patterns (e.g.

Representation, medical examination, and the effectiveness of underwriting: Evidence from a life and health insurance company

Risk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines whether underwriting methods—representation, medical examination, extra premiums, and coverage—effectively mitigate adverse selection using data from an insurance company. Regarding representation, we focus on statements disclosing pre‐existing medical conditions.

Respirable Dust Exposure in Western Australian Mining: Trends, Variability, and Implications for Occupational Health

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 7, Page 540-547, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Mining workers are exposed to a range of respiratory hazards, including respirable dust. While exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the mining industry has been found to be common, less is known about trends in measured levels of exposure to respirable dust overall.

An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 446-460, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.

Multi‐omics reveals a novel Cxcr4+ subpopulation of alveolar macrophages and therapeutic effect of AMD3100 in mice with advanced silicosis

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
The progression of silicosis‐associated fibrosis relies on a positive feedback loop mediated by crosstalk between Cxcr4+ macrophages and Cxcl12+ fibroblasts and the therapeutic potential of targeting the Cxcl12/Cxcr4 axis with AMD3100 as a novel strategy for treating silicosis.

MRI for Lung Cancer Management: Any Closer to Clinical Application?

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1546-1561, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Management of lung cancer (LC) encompasses screening, diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy planning and guidance, therapy monitoring and surveillance. Across these domains, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a range of morphological and functional imaging capabilities—including diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE)
