During a study of the sources of the dusts in South Wales coal mines, carried out on behalf of the Industrial Pulmonary Disease Committee of the Medical Research Council, a mineral of the mica group was found as the main constituent of the shales overlying the coal in several mines. Of six shales investigated four were associated with anthracite, one with semi-bituminous, and one with bituminous coal. Between the coal seam itself and the shale which forms its roof there usually occurs a more coaly shale referred to locally as ‘clod’. Five of the samples investigated were isolated from ‘clods’ and one from a roof.

AbstractDuring the first half of the twentieth century, the mining industry in Britain was subject to recurrent disputes about the risk to miners’ lungs from coal dust, moderated by governmental, industrial, medical and mining bodies. In this environment, precise measurements offered a way to present uncontested objective knowledge. By accessing primary source material from the National Archives, the South Wales Miners Library and the University of Bristol's Special Collections, I demonstrate the importance that the British Medical Research Council (MRC) attached to standardized instrumental measures as proof of objectivity, and explore the conflict between objective and subjective measures of health. Examination of the MRC's use of spirometry in their investigation of pneumoconiosis (miner's lung) from 1936 to 1945 will shed light on this conflict and illuminate the politics inherent in attempts to quantify disability and categorize standards of health.

Latar belakang: Penyakit Paru Obstruktif Kronik (PPOK) merupakan penyakit tidak menular yang menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan di Indonesia diperkirakan terdapat 4,8 juta orang dengan prevalensi 56%. Tujuan: tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara hitung jenis leukosit dengan derajat PPOK berdasarkan gejala klinis dan PPOK GOLD 2019 pada pasien PPOK stabil di Rumah Sakit Islam Jakarta Sukapura periode September 2018 – September 2019. Metode: studi ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode deskriptif analitik. Desain penelitian yang digunakan yaitu cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini yaitu teknik total sampling. Jumlah pasien PPOK stabil yang diteliti sebanyak 35 pasien. Penilaian gejala pada pasien PPOK menurut Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD) 2019 dapat menggunakan kuesioner yang sudah divalidasi yaitu COPD Assesment Test/CAT dan Modified Medical Research Council/MMRC. Hasil: Hasil pemeriksaan hitung jenis leukosit terbanyak memiliki nilai eosinofil normal, nilai basofil normal, nilai neutrofil meningkat, nilai monosit normal, dan nilai limfosit normal. Kesimpulan: hasil penelitian menunjukkan kecenderungan peningkatan nilai leukosit pada setiap derajat PPOK, namun secara statistik tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara hitung jenis leukosit dengan derajat PPOK berdasarkan gejala klinis dan GOLD 2019 pada pasien PPOK stabil di RSIJ Sukapura.
