13. Lung gas exchange in simple pneumoconiosis of coal workers
Cotes, J. E., and Field, G. B. (1972).Brit. J. industr. Med.,29, 268-273. Lung gas exchange in simple pneumoconiosis of coal workers. Indices of lung function and gas exchange, including some based on measurement of the arterial blood gases and physiological response to exercise, were obtained in 19 coal workers with simple pneumoconiosis of the pinhead or m

14. Heart disease and pneumoconiosis
This paper presents an investigation into the relative frequency of deaths from coronary artery disease and from congestive cardiac failure associated with or secondary to chronic lung disease in 367 men with pneumoconiosis. All these men had been receiving a pension for pneumoconiosis and had died in the area served by the Birmingham Pneumoconiosis Medical

15. Attributability of death to pneumoconiosis in beneficiaries
Sadler, R. L. (1974).Thorax, 29, 699-702. Attributability of death to pneumoconiosis in beneficiaries. Coal workers and slate workers who were receiving in 1965 industrial disability benefit for pneumoconiosis were grouped according to the radiological extent of their disease and their disability assessment. They were followed up for 7·5 years. Standard mor

16. Contrasting geographical distribution of mortality from pneumoconiosis and chronic bronchitis and emphysema in British coal miners.
To explore whether the characteristics of coal mine dust that predispose to chronic airways obstruction are the same as those associated with pneumoconiosis, mortality from the two disease was compared in coal miners in 22 counties of England and Wales during 1979-80 and 1982-90. The proportional mortality ratios (PMRs) for coal workers' pneumoconiosis varie

17. Non-occupational pneumoconiosis at high altitude villages in central Ladakh.
An epidemiological survey was carried out to investigate the occurrence of non-occupational pneumoconiosis in Ladakh, where there are no mines or industries. The clinicoradiological investigations of 449 randomly selected subjects from three villages showed typical cases of pneumoconiosis associated with progressive massive fibrosis and egg shell calcificati

18. Mortality in punctiform type of coalworkers' pneumoconiosis
Waters, W. E., Cochrane, A. L., and Moore, F. (1974).British Journal of Industrial Medicine,31, 196-200. Mortality in punctiform type of coalworkers' pneumoconiosis. Recent studies conducted on miners at necropsy and on those attending a pneumoconiosis medical panel have suggested that the punctiform type of opacities are associated with a significant gas tr

19. Quantified pathology of emphysema, pneumoconiosis, and chronic bronchitis in coal workers
ABSTRACT From a continuous series of 886 postmortem examinations on coal mine workers in New South Wales, Australia, from 1949 to 1982 and their histories the following data were obtained: age at death (886 cases), percentage of emphysema in both lungs (Heard method) (870 cases), bronchial gland wall (G-W) ratio (Reid Index) (412 cases), chest radiograph wit

20. Urinary hydroxyproline excretion in coalworkers' pneumoconiosis
Resnick, H., Lapp, N. L., and Morgan, W. K. C. (1969).Brit. J. industr. Med.,26, 135-138. Urinary hydroxyproline excretion in coalworkers' pneumoconiosis. As there is an increased formation of one or all the fibrous proteins in coalworkers' pneumoconiosis, it was felt that a study of the turnover rate of these proteins might shed some light on the pathogenes

21. Treatment of rapidly progressive rheumatoid pneumoconiosis
Davies, D. (1973).British Journal of Industrial Medicine,30, 396-401. Treatment of rapidly progressive rheumatoid pneumoconiosis. Rheumatoid pneumoconiosis is often a fairly benign condition but in some patients it progresses rapidly and causes severe disability. One patient with rheumatoid pneumoconiosis was treated with chloroquine followed by corticostero

22. Pneumoconiosis of shale miners.
Four patients are described in whom pneumoconiosis was diagnosed towards the end of a lifetime's work in shale mines. All developed complicated pneumoconiosis, diagnosed in two cases at necropsy, in one by lobectomy, and in one radiologically. Two of the patients were found at necropsy also to have peripheral squamous lung cancer.The clinical and histologica

23. Dust exposure and pneumoconiosis in a South African pottery. 2. Pneumoconiosis and factors influencing reading of radiological opacities.
A cross sectional radiological survey of workers exposed to pottery dust during the manufacture of wall tiles and bathroom fittings was conducted in a South African factory. Roughly one third of workers with 15 or more years of service in high dust sections of the factory had pneumoconiosis. Previously undiagnosed advanced cases, including two with progressi

24. Lung mechanics and frequency dependence of compliance in coal miners
The mechanical properties of the lungs were studied in two groups of coal miners. The first group consisted of miners with either simple or no pneumoconiosis and was divided into two subgroups (1A and 1B). The former (1A) consisted of 62 miners most of whom had simple pneumoconiosis but a few of whom had clear films. Although their spirometry was normal, all
