متن کاملAlterations of serum biomarkers associated with lung ventilation function impairment in coal Workers: A cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that alterations in certain circulating biomarkers may be correlated with Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). This study investigated the relationship between changes of serum biomarkers and pulmonary function during the development of CWP. METHODS Lung function parameters and specific serum indices were measured in 69 non-smoking coal workers, in...
متن کاملPine dust, atopy and lung function: A cross-sectional study in sawmill workers.
An increased risk of asthma symptoms has previously been shown in 772 pine sawmill workers. The aim of the current study was to assess the association between dust exposure, lung function and atopy. Subjects with (n = 59) and without (n = 167) asthma symptoms were randomly selected from the previous survey. Lung function and atopy were determined using spirometry and skin-prick tests, respectiv...
