Natural History and Treated Course of Usual and Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia
TL;DR: It is concluded that the histologic classification of chronic interstitial pneumonia used here permits forecasts of prognosis and response to treatment that cannot be deduced from other data.

TL;DR: Recovery of alveolar cells and relevant proteins by bronchoalveolar lavage and 67 gallium scintigraphy provide a safe, reliable means to monitor the activity and character of the alveolitis underlying these interstitial lung diseases.

Cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis: clinical features and their influence on survival
TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of 220 cases fulfilling criteria for cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis attending the Brompton Hospital between 1955 and 1973 has been carried out and patients have been followed for between four and 21 years, confirming the frequency of various clinical features.

Normal chest roentgenograms in chronic diffuse infiltrative lung disease.
TL;DR: In this group with normal x-ray films, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, sarcoidosis and allergic alveolitis were the most frequent diagnoses.

Part I: General Observations
TL;DR: “Mean ages of dust foci” (periods of dust retention) were studied from records of work underground, and compared with the radiological changes, the gradings for reticulin and collagen, and the presence of fibrous dust nodules.

An experiment in film reading
TL;DR: In studying the progression of pneumoconiosis in the subjects' films from one survey to another, it was found that there was an apparent understatement of progression when the conventional classification was adopted.

Transfer factor (diffusing capacity) for the lung in simple pneumoconiosis of coal workers.
TL;DR: Findings help to understand why additional oestrogen therapy given for a few days for bleeding and cycle regulation could eventually reverse the effect in cervical mucus of chlormadinone 0.5 mg.

Essentials of Chest Radiography
TL;DR: Variable high kilovoltage and constant milliampere-seconds exposure, with either a fixed grid or air gap to reduce secondary radiation, are recommended as the radiographic technique of choice.
