Journal ArticleDOI
Differential respirable dust related lung function effects between current and former South African coal miners
TL;DR: A dose-related decline in lung function was associated with respirable dust exposure, with a magnitude of effect similar to that seen in other studies and important differences between current and former employees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of plain chest radiography and high-resolution CT in human immunodeficiency virus infected patients with community-acquired pneumonia: a sub-Saharan Africa study.
TL;DR: The proportion of patients with missed lesions on plain chest radiographs in HIV infected patients with CAP was high, and HRCT scans correlate well with the microbiological diagnosis when reported by an experienced radiologist.
Journal Article

TL;DR: The findings in this study confirm the risk of exposure to HDIs in the spray-painting industry and highlight the need for more stringent industrial hygiene controls.
