PROFESSIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ONSET AND COURSE OF DUST-RELATED LUNG DISEASES. LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Relevance. The article presents a modern literary analysis that reflects the professional features of the occurrence and course of dust-related lung diseases. The world literature data reviewed in this article indicate that differences in the prevalence, morbidity, and disability of dust-related lung diseases in various occupational groups are explained by the level of dust, dust composition, and heterogeneity of seniority, age, and profession. The purpose of the work is to analyze modern literature data reflecting the early diagnosis of the formation, course and rehabilitation of dust-borne lung diseases. Search strategy: A search was conducted for articles in PubMed, Scopus, Medline, e-Library using combinations of medical subject headings and keywords. After extracting the data from more than 202 articles, 76 articles were analyzed and selected according to the inclusion criteria. Criteria for inclusion in the review: publications in Russian and English for key queries: dust-related lung diseases, preventive measures, occupational diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; publications included from the PubMed, Scopus, Medline, e-Library database over the past 7 years. Exclusion criteria: articles with paid access; abstracts. Conclusions: the strategy for the treatment of diseases of the bronchopulmonary system identifies five stages: risk elimination, basic treatment, phenotypic treatment, treatment of respiratory failure and palliative care, as well as treatment of concomitant diseases. To effectively combat dust-borne lung diseases, it is necessary to combine the efforts of global and local strategies, the use of modern medical technologies and prevention methods, as well as constant attention to improving the working conditions and health of workers in various industries. The key element in solving the problem is not only treatment, but also prevention, based on the study of the mechanism of occurrence of dust diseases, as well as spa treatment aimed at restoring health and reducing the progression of the disease.
