Pio XI Hospital, Clinical Unit of Occupational Health, Desio, Italy.
In this study we monitored exposure to airborne dust in workers performing various tasks at two biomass-fuelled thermal power plants (27 and 46 MW) over six years. The plants are mainly fuelled by forest wood chips and, to a lesser extent, by agro-food products, with annual consumption of about 300 and 450 kt. We focused on inhalable wood dust because of its potential carcinogenicity to humans.

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) characterized by a classic triad of external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia, often following a recent infection. Understanding atypical presentations of MFS is crucial for timely diagnosis and management, as the syndrome may be mistaken for other neurological disorders. This report aims to highlight the clinical journey of the patient, including symptom onset, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic interventions, with a discussion of the broader implications of such atypical cases in the context of MFS.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on comparing methods for normalizing electromyographic signals from respiratory muscles in both healthy individuals and those with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
- 67 subjects (50 healthy and 17 with ALS) were analyzed during various breathing maneuvers to measure muscle activity.
- The results indicated that for healthy individuals, maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) was the best method for assessing inspiratory muscle activity, while in ALS patients, the maximum nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) maneuver was more effective for inspiratory muscle normalization.
