Accelerated silicosis and silico‐tuberculosis: A difficult diagnosis
Clinical Case Reports, 2022 It is well established that exposure to respirable crystalline silica is associated with higher mortality. Such exposures are associated with an increased risk of silico‐tuberculosis, silicosis, and other respiratory morbidities.

Early Detection Methods for Silicosis in Australia and Internationally: A Review of the Literature
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 Pneumoconiosis, or occupational lung disease, is one of the world’s most prevalent work-related diseases. Silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis, is caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica (RCS) dust.

Functional variant of the carboxypeptidase M (CPM) gene may affect silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility by its expression: a multistage case-control study. [PDF]
, 2019 ObjectivesIn a genome-wide association study, we discovered chromosome 12q15 (defined as rs73329476) as a silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility region. However, the causal variants in this region have not yet been reported.MethodsWe systematically

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.
