Noncomparability of longitudinally and cross-sectionally determined annual change in spirometry.
TL;DR: In this article, spirometric data were collected 5 times over 5 yr from 52 adult male Caucasians, and the age regression coefficient for FEV1 and FVC, determined cross-sectionally at each visit, was more than twice the longitudinal annual change computed from the same data as the mean of the slopes of each subject's regression lines.

TL;DR: The respiratory health of 277 workers in a new toluene diisocyanate (TDI) manufacturing plant was studied prospectively during 5 yr of exposure, and the different health effects observed in these groups supports the NIOSH-recommended standard of 5 ppb TDI as an 8-h TWA.

TL;DR: The Tecumseh index of risk provides a practical method for developing a risk profile from answers to standard questions and simple tests of lung function and was shown to be the most important risk factors in the other populations as well.

TL;DR: Findings support B cell hyperactivity in workers exposed to asbestos and suggest that autoantibody production and IC are not directly involved in disease pathogenesis.
