Prolonged cough and dyspnea following a single episode of intense silica exposure
Arch Environ Occup Health. 2023 Dec 14:1-6. doi: 10.1080/19338244.2023.2293939. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong term exposure to silica at worksites can cause silicosis. This typically has two radiographic forms, simple silicosis and complicated or conglomerate silicosis. Patients with acute silicosis have rapid progression of disease with fulminant respiratory failure over months rather than years. The patient described in this case report had a one-time 4 to 5-h exposure to silica and sand dust at work when his mask malfunctioned. He developed cough and shortness of breath.

Heavy metal worker's pneumonoconiosis with lung parenchymal damage and Peripheral neuropathy: case report
Arch Environ Occup Health. 2023 Dec 8:1-6. doi: 10.1080/19338244.2023.2290545. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeavy metals even at low concentrations can damage all systems in the human body from the cellular level by causing disruptions in DNA repair mechanisms, cell division and apoptosis. A 49-year-old man who had been working in the sanding and deburring department of a factory producing underground water pipes for 15 years, presented with complaints of effort dyspnea, cough and loss of strength in his left hand. Computed tomography of the lung revealed diffuse micronodular appearance in all zones in both lungs, subpleu...
