Do respiratory symptoms and cotton dust exposure ; results of a 15 year follow up observation?
Chronic exposure to cotton dust is related to both work specific and non-specific respiratory symptoms. Byssinosis is more strongly associated with exposure to endotoxin than to dust. Cessation of exposure may improve the respiratory health of cotton textile workers; the improvement appears to increase with time since last exposure.
Our results indicate that cyclosporin A does not stimulate decidual prostanoid production and is probably unrelated to preterm labor and delivery in allograft recipients.
