Although air pollution is well known to be harmful to the lung and airways, it can also damage most other organ systems of the body. It is estimated that about 500,000 lung cancer deaths and 1.6… Expand
Brain metal concentrations in chronic liver failure patients with pallidal T1 MRI hyperintensity
- K. Klos, J. Ahlskog, +7 authors K. Josephs
- Medicine
- Neurology
- 12 December 2006
Background: Chronic liver failure may be associated with pallidal MRI T1 hyperintensity and heterogeneous neurologic syndromes, including parkinsonism, cognitive impairment, and others. Manganese… Expand
Neurologic manifestations in welders with pallidal MRI T1 hyperintensity
- K. Josephs, J. Ahlskog, +4 authors C. Cowl
- Medicine
- Neurology
- 28 June 2005
Background: Neurologic symptoms have been attributed to manganese fumes generated during welding. Increased T1 MRI signal in the basal ganglia is a biologic marker of manganese accumulation. Recent… Expand

Conditions associated with an abnormal nonspecific pattern of pulmonary function tests.
- R. Hyatt, C. Cowl, Julie A Bjoraker, P. Scanlon
- Medicine
- Chest
- 1 February 2009
BACKGROUND
Little is known about a fairly frequent abnormal pattern of pulmonary function test results: reduced FEV(1) and FVC with a normal FEV(1)/FVC and normal total lung capacity. We term this a… Expand
Clinical significance of elevated diffusing capacity.
- G. Saydain, K. C. Beck, P. Decker, C. Cowl, P. Scanlon
- Medicine
- Chest
- 1 February 2004
STUDY OBJECTIVE
Single-breath diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is used as a pulmonary function test (PFT) to assess gas transfer in the lungs. The implications of a low DLCO… Expand
