Asbestosis - CRASH! Medical Review Series

[@abdallahalqudah3338]

Thank you for the wonderful and informative video. Just a quick note, Idiopathic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia primarily affect the lower lung lobes, not the upper as u mentioned. And the best way to differentiate it from asbestosis is to look for pleural thickening and calcifications in asbestosis.

Saturday, October 8, 2022. Pulmonology: Asbestosis (Pneumoconiosis Subtype) is an Occupational Exposure, usually Construction Related, due to Asbestos, a Flame-Retardant, Inhalation and Deposition in the Lungs. SSxL: 1) Dyspnea, and 2) Common Cough, 3) Chronic Chest Pain; Hx: Occupational Exposure and/or Work in Construction Trade; Px: 1) Fine Rales on Ausculatation, 2) Signs of Cyanosis, 3) Finger Clubbing, and 4) Pursed Breathing are Usual Patient Presentation Signs; Dx: 1) Best Initial Diagnostic Imaging is CXR (Bilateral Pleural Thickening, Reticular Nodular Infiltration, Diaphragmatic Calcification); 2) High Resolution CT (Honeycombing of The Lung Morphology); 3) Lung Biopsy is the Most Accurate Diagnostic Step (Hardly ever Made; 4) Ancillary Testing are PFT showing a Restrictive Pattern; DLco will show a Reduced Diffusion of Surrogate CO (Oxygen Analogue); Tx/Mx: 1) Symptomatic/Pallative Treatment; 2) An Irreversible/Uncurable Disease. Absolutely, anybody exposed to such a destructive Material should be completely indemnified and anybody using and/or exposing a man to Asbestos should be completely shut-out (Criminal Liability)! MD Paul Bolin, du bist gross aber man muss sein mehr rein in Geschaftekulture and schafen besser. Heil!

my dear dad had that, back in the 50s 60s 70s mum would wash dads cloths and they where covered in dust, dad was electrician and used to to keep lots of canaries in a big shed in the garden so that did not help, 20 years ago dad got pulmonology asbestosis and in a few weeks was dead, he was only 72, he had such alful last few weeks was skin and bones, was heartbreaking to watch.

Mesothelioma can develop in lungs and peritoneal cavity and it can develop fairly quickly (a year in some cases) after occupational exposure to asbestos. This condition is independent of smoking history.

[@martindobrev-u6j]

u say u can get mesothelioma after 1 years after exposed?

Excelent video Dr Bolin. I enjoy your teaching method and im very curious on how you manage to record your presentations? Is there any program you use to record?

Are your odds like 2% to develop an asbestos related disease from removing floor tiles and caulk from your house that has absestos?

Can asbestos abaters be compensated if they get asbestosis 20 years from now? Just wondering since they're aware of the dangers and still working with it.
