Respiratory symptoms and lung function change in welders: are they associated with workplace exposures?
Nickel exposure from metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is associated with work-related respiratory symptoms and aluminium exposure from welding is associated with a fall in FEV1 of at least 5 % after 15 minutes of work.
Our results suggest that pain is one of the most common non-motor symptoms in patients with PD. In order to identify the appropriate treatment strategy, it is essential to identify the underlying etiology.
