Background: Coal workers' pneumoconiosis is a chronic occupational lung disease with considerable pulmonary complications, including irreversible lung diseases that are too complex to accurately identify via chest X-rays. The classification of clinical imaging features from high-resolution computed tomography might become a powerful clinical tool for diagnosing pneumoconiosis in the future.
Methods: All chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) medical images presented in this work were obtained from 217 coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) patients and dust-exposed workers.

Objective: Silicosis is a pneumoconiosis characterized by fibrosis of the lung parenchyma caused by the inhalation of silica particles. Silica dust inhalation is associated with inflammation and induction of oxidative stress in the lungs. This oxidative stress affects telomeres, which are short tandem DNA repeats that cap the end of linear chromosomes.

Silicosis, a fibrotic lung disease caused by crystalline silica inhalation, presents unique challenges in lung transplantation. This case reports an unprecedented complication in a lung transplant recipient with chronic silicosis. A man in his 60 s, post left single-lung transplantation for silica-induced pneumoconiosis, developed acute respiratory deterioration following routine bronchoscopy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPneumoconiosis, caused by inhaling mineral dust, remains a significant occupational disease, despite a declining incidence. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), a common subtype, varies in presentation from simple to complicated forms. Differential diagnosis is crucial, especially when CWP manifests as lung masses mimicking malignancy.
