Kitchen countertop workers are dying. Some lawmakers want to ban their lawsuits Some safety experts want California to stop the cutting of quartz countertops saying it can't be done safely. Lawmakers, meanwhile, contemplate a ban on workers' lawsuits against quartz manufacturers.

One worker put it starkly: There are simply "not enough lungs" for the transplants needed.

Pulmonary nodules appear on CT regardless of smoking status The prevalence of pulmonary nodules on CT is similar in middle-aged populations regardless of whether patients smoke or don't.

Researchers report that nodules are tied to lung disease, reticulation, and bronchiectasis in people who reported never having smoked. Pulmonary nodules appear on CT regardless of smoking status #radiology #CT #lungdisease buff.ly/8m9prm9

A page from JAMA reviews interstitial lung disease. It includes a classification of interstitial lung disease, features of ILD histologic patterns, and lists autoimmune, idiopathic, hypersensitivity, drug-induced, infection-related, and unclassifiable ILD.

Interstitial #LungDisease (ILD) is characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis within the alveolar interstitium of the lung, affecting approximately 650 000 people in the US.

This Review summarizes the diagnosis and treatment of ILD.
