“…The proportion of workers with normal spirometry results in the present study (82.3%) is consistent with that reported in a study of a group of workers involved in the production of fertilizers and exposed to different occupational products, conducted in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, 26 as well as with that reported in studies in the area of occupational lung diseases 21 23 A study conducted in the coal region in southernmost Santa Catarina, Brazil, found that most coal miners had normal spirometry results.…”

“…A similar study showed that the most common symptoms, in order of frequency, were phlegm (41.7%), wheezing (33.0%), cough (31.9%), and dyspnea (9.7%) 20 ; in the present study, the results were similar, but the percentages were lower. Phlegm has also been found to be the most prevalent respiratory symptom in coal miners (36.4%) 21 . The presence of respiratory symptoms may be associated with severity of disease and indicate cause for ongoing concern about the health status of workers 22 .…”

Evaluation of pulmonary function and respiratory symptoms in pyrochlore mine workers

Objective: To identify respiratory symptoms and evaluate lung function in mine workers. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study involving production sector workers of a pyrochlore mining company. The subjects completed the British Medical Research Council questionnaire, which is designed to evaluate respiratory symptoms, occupational exposure factors, and smoking status. In addition, they underwent pulmonary function tests with a portable spirometer. Results: The study involved 147 workers (all male). The mean age was 41.37 ± 8.71 years, and the mean duration of occupational exposure was 12.26 ± 7.09 years. We found that 33 (22.44%) of the workers had respiratory symptoms and that 26 (17.69%) showed abnormalities in the spirometry results. However, we found that the spirometry results did not correlate significantly with the presence of respiratory symptoms or with the duration of occupational exposure. Conclusions: The frequencies of respiratory symptoms and spirometric changes were low when compared with those reported in other studies involving occupational exposure to dust. No significant associations were observed between respiratory symptoms and spirometry results.

“…Therefore, occupational history taking can be conducted at two levels of depth: a general inquiry, that is, a type of basic screening for occupations and substances; and a detailing of the history, after the detection of something suspicious in the initial screening. (30)(31)(32)(33) Pulmonologists can easily perform the general enquiry, but it should be borne in mind that they might need aid in detailing the history, since it is not possible for a single professional to retain and understand all of the information related to the complex world of work. If no occupational suspicion is raised in the initial approach, a more in-depth investigation will not be conducted.…”

The principal risk factor for lung cancer is smoking, which is largely responsible for the development of the disease in men and women. It is estimated that 10-15% of all deaths from lung cancer in the USA are caused by risk factors other than smoking. In isolation, these would account for 16,000-24,000 deaths per year, which would still place lung cancer among the ten most deadly forms of cancer.(3) Occupational carcinogens can act alone or in synergy with smoking. A review of lung cancer in Brazil discussed the principal risk factors, notably smoking, and the economic sectors where carcinogens are strongly present. The economic sectors listed included IntroductionCarcinogens are often found in the workplace. Until the 1970s, most of the known human carcinogens were encountered in the workplace. The work environment remains a significant source of carcinogens.( 1) Carcinogenesis is a multifactorial process in which there is interaction among hereditary, genetic, and environmental factors that lead to uncontrolled cell growth. From this standpoint, occupational cancer is not considered a typical occupational disease, but rather a disease in which work, as an environmental factor, plays a decisive pathogenic role, by Schilling's criteria, which will be discussed below. AbstractLung cancer is a multifactorial disease. Hereditary, genetic, and environmental factors interact in its genesis. The principal risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. However, the workplace provides an environment in which there is a risk of exposure to carcinogens. The International Agency for Research on Cancer currently lists 19 substances/work situations/occupations that have been proven to be associated with lung cancer (group 1). Thorough occupational history taking is not widely practiced in patients with lung cancer, which has a negative impact on the investigation of causality and, consequently, on the identification of cases of occupational cancer. The objectives of this review were to list the agents that are recognized as causes of lung cancer, to discuss the contribution of occupation to the development of the disease, to cite national studies on the subject, and to propose a list of procedures that are essential to the appropriate investigation of causality between lung cancer and occupation.Keywords: Lung neoplasms; Occupational diseases; Occupations; Carcinogens. ResumoO câncer de pulmão é multicausal. Fatores hereditários, genéticos e ambientais interagem na sua gênese. O principal fator de risco é o tabagismo. Entretanto, o ambiente de trabalho é um local de possível exposição a agentes cancerígenos. Atualmente, a International Agency for Research on Cancer lista 19 substâncias/situações de trabalho/ocupações comprovadamente associadas ao câncer de pulmão (grupo 1). A abordagem da ocupação em pacientes portadores de câncer de pulmão é fraca, impactando negativamente na busca da causalidade e, consequentemente, no desvelamento de casos de câncer ocupacional. Os objetivos desta revisão foram elencar os agentes reconhecidame...

“…32 No Brasil como na Europa, a Igreja tinha razão para propagar a iconografia de Anna como a santa do livro, pois com o espírito da Contra-Reforma e a convicção de que a mulher desempenha papel importante na educação dos filhos, chega o grande impulso dado à educação feminina, na tentativa de educar os fiéis para fazerem frente às heresias. 33 A importância da mãe como educadora foi particularmente pertinente nas Minas Gerais, onde a família era freqüentemente matrifocal e não patriarcal. 34 Este é o consenso dos historiadores sobre a sociedade de Minas, na qual a mobilidade geográfica dos mineradores privava muitos lares da presença de um pai.…”

A segunda santa mais cultuada no Brasil colônia é Anna, mãe da Virgem Maria. A mãe de Cristo -santa de predileção da Igreja da Contra-Reforma -sempre acompanha Sant'Anna nos três tipos iconográficos aqui estudados: Santas Mães, Sant'Anna Guia e, sobretudo, Sant'Anna Mestra.As igrejas da América portuguesa passaram a receber esculturas de Sant'Anna com grande freqüência a partir do século XVII. Em Minas Gerais -um dos mais importantes centros artísticos da colônia -a imagem esculpida de Sant'Anna é comum em paróquias, capelas e oratórios domés-ticos. Esta capitania abriga um número expressivo de locais de culto dedicados à mãe da Virgem Maria, onde ela é representada sobre o altar-mor.As informações sobre a criação das imagens provêm mais de suas características físicas do que de fontes escritas. Anônimas e sem data, estas imagens podem ter sido levadas para Minas Gerais ou podem ter sido criadas, nesta capitania, por artistas cujo perfil social desconhecemos. Em termos estilísticos e cronológicos, os espaldares das cadeiras de Sant'Anna indicam que as obras podem pertencer ao período do reinado de dom João V (1706-1750) ou de dom José I (1750-1777).O grau de sofisticação varia tanto quanto ao material quanto às dimensões das esculturas. A madeira é o material mais usado para a talha e, em particular, para as obras com formas mais perfeitas. Há também imagens feitas em terracota e pedra. Além da policromia, algumas esculturas em madeira revelam o emprego de técnicas elaboradas no tratamento da superfície da pele (como a encarnação) e das vestes (o douramento e o estofamento). As obras esculpidas em grande formato podem ter sido destinadas para os retábulos de altares em paróquias e capelas. As imagens de dimensões menores deveriam ser para a devoção doméstica, podendo ser guardadas em oratórios.Topoi, Rio de Janeiro, dezembro 2002, pp. 232-250.
