Title: Early detection of interstitial lung disease in asbestos exposed non-smoking workers by mid-expiratory flow rate and high resolution computed tomography / Zeljko Dujic, Jadranka Tocilj, Marko SaricAuthor: Dujic, Zeljko ‌
Notes: Sumario: In the present study the authors found that exposure to asbestos may cause a biphasic change in FEF 25-75% (initial increase followed by a decrease) in non smoking subjects. The change may be due, in part, to peribronchiolar fibrosis; an early stage of this process could increase small airway stability resulting in displacement of the "equal pressure point" towards the mouth with reduced airway compression during forced expiration and increased airflowRelated records: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 10, October 1991 ; p. 663-664Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral ‌Enfermedades profesionales ‌Casos prácticos ‌Enfermedades pulmonares ‌Asbestosis ‌Amianto ‌Otros autores: Tocilj, Jadranka ‌
