Presentation
Most patients suffering from this disease present with nonspecific symptoms similar to those of chronic tonsillitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Pseudotumor
Inflammatory pseudotumors can also occur in other organs, but the lung is most commonly involved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Chronic Infection
However, the parasite is difficult to detect because eosinophilia can appear normal in chronic infection. Several stool examinations, duodenal aspiration or biopsies are necessary for a high diagnostic sensitivity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
-
Sore Throat
We report a case of a 21-year-old male miner who presented with a chronic history of a foreign body sensation in the oropharynx and an intermittently sore throat. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with the palatine tonsils neoplasm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Respiratory Insufficiency
According to his direct descendents, he died aged 64 from respiratory insufficiency the causes of which included a "pneumoconiosis" diagnosed by Prof. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
-
Abdominal Pain
A miner, known to have had lung silicosis for 30 years, was investigated for abdominal pain. A retroperitoneal mass was found, in which histological examination showed an inflammatory reaction to silica. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular
-
Hypertension
The patient's condition progressed incessantly towards death from severe secondary pulmonary hypertension. The case links fatal pulmonary hypertension to DIST, a pattern not previously described in coal workers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
-
Foreign Body Sensation
We report a case of a 21-year-old male miner who presented with a chronic history of a foreign body sensation in the oropharynx and an intermittently sore throat. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with the palatine tonsils neoplasm. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Meningism
We report a rare case of Strongyloides stercoralis meningitis in an immunocompromised patient treated for a lung carcinoma. Despite his Belgian origin, he was infected with S. stercoralis due to his former work as a miner. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Microbiology
-
Plasmodium Falciparum
Using GMine we reanalyzed proteome microarray data of host antibody response against Plasmodium falciparum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Colonoscopy
-
Polyps
Tonsillectomy is a curative method to address lymphangiomatous polyps (LAPs) of the tonsils which resulted in no recurrence during the clinical follow-up period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Colitis
He revealed to have a systemic Strongyloides stercoralis hyperinfection and Strongyloides colitis. A short time after diagnosis he died from septic shock despite therapy with thiabendazole and antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
During evaluation of the patient, specific occupational factors and habituations will be related with higher succession rates of treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Together, these data sources and analytic technologies seek to answer what treatments work for whom, why, in what context, and at what cost. [converge-health.com]
Etiology
Intractable pleural pain has been described in asbestos-exposed patients with theorized etiologies. However, no in vivo reported mechanism has demonstrated a plausible, anatomically apparent mechanism for the pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Abstract Epidemiological miner cohort data used to estimate lung cancer risks related to occupational radon exposure often lack cohort-wide information on exposure to tobacco smoke, a potential confounder and important effect modifier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
[…] to understand the interaction of silicosis and tuberculosis in this setting, the importance of maintaining continuity of care in the management of these conditions in miners and former miners, and control of silica dust exposure as a primary form of prevention [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
