Further research on the molecular mechanisms involved in the inflammatory processes
important for progression to fibrotic diseases is needed for the development of effective …

Clinical detection of silicosis is currently dependent on radiological and lung function
abnormalities, both late manifestations of disease. Markers of prediction and early detection …

The purposes of this study were a) to summarize measurements of airborne (respirable)
crystalline silica dust exposure levels among US workers, b) to provide an update of the …

Silicosis is a particular form of lung fibrosis attributable to occupational exposure to
crystalline silica. The occupational exposure to crystalline silica also increases the risk of …

Silicosis is a fibrotic disease caused by the inhalation of respirable silica particles, which are
typically engulfed by alveolar macrophages and subsequently induce the release of …

Long-term exposure to respirable dust containing silica leads to pneumoconiosis/silicosis.
The disease is irreversible and incurable, and only preventive steps such as job rotation …

Simple Summary Production animals are continuously exposed to environmental and
dietary factors that might induce a state of low-grade, chronic intestinal inflammation. This …

Neopterin is regarded as an early biomarker of the cellular immune response. This low
molecular mass compound belongs to the class of pteridine and is a metabolite of …

Background: The term crystallized silica refers to the crystallized form of Sio 2 and quartz,
the most frequency composition in the earth's crust that can cause silicosis and lung cancer …

Sažetak Workers in denim sandblasting are at a high risk of developing silicosis, an
occupational lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica dust. The development and …
