Predictors of silicosis and variation in prevalence across mines among employed gold miners in South Africa

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background The stated intention to eliminate silicosis from the South African goldmining industry as well as current programmes to find and compensate ex-miners with silicosis require an understanding of variation in silicosis prevalence across the ...

RAB20 deficiency promotes the development of silicosis via NLRP3 inflammasome

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Silicosis is a worldwide serious occupational disease that is caused by inhalation of silica crystals. However, little is known about the pathogenesis mechanism of silicosis. We performed single-cell sequencing in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Matrix Stiffness Promotes DRP1‐Mediated Myofibroblast Senescence to Drive Silica‐Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis

Aging Cell, EarlyView.
These findings identify matrix stiffness‐driven cellular senescence as a critical mechanism in silicosis progression, providing a rationale for targeting senescent cells as an antifibrotic therapeutic strategy. ABSTRACT Silicosis is an occupational lung disease characterized by diffuse pulmonary fibrosis resulting from inhalation of silica particles ...

Tuberculosis and Silicosis Burden in Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Miners in a Large Occupational Health Outreach Programme in Zimbabwe

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
Artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) labour under archaic working conditions and are exposed to high levels of silica dust. Exposure to silica dust has been associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis and silicosis.
