Presentation
Characteristics of the study population stratified by country are presented in table 1. [erj.ersjournals.com]
Long-term exposure to cement dust at levels that are comparable to the present occupational exposure limits could cause a decline in lung volumes, according to a new study. [sciencedaily.com]
The subject also presented an atypical restrictive pattern, which could also be seen on X-rays as 1/1 q/q images of the classification of 2000 of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and a bulging of a pulmonary artery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Chronic Infection
There were many problems affecting the respiratory system in the human body and there are many factors that cause various diseases and serious respiratory infections such as: crisis, lung fibrosis, acute and chronic infections, asthma ... Etc. [article.sapub.org]

Associations between exposure and lung function and symptoms were stronger among the non-Turkish participants, however, chronic bronchitis showed stronger associations among the Turkish participants. [erj.ersjournals.com]

Dyspepsia
Similar findings were obtained for reflux-like dyspepsia. CONCLUSIONS: Occupational cement-dust exposure is associated with dyspepsia, and the association is particularly strong for ulcer-like and reflux-like dyspepsia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Distractibility
This eliminates the distraction for the operator of turning on and off a dust collection system and ensures the vacuum is running while operating the saw, avoiding uncontrolled dust release Circular Saw and Blades Must Have Dust Collection Container or [oshasafetymanagement.com]
Treatment
A treatment with steroids was prescribed and the worker showed some improvement. There is high risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis with the progressive evolution in stages of the bronchioalveolitis, even when the subject is isolated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
