Background: Silicosis is an occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of dust containing crystalline silica particles of size 0.5-5 microns in diameter. It commonly occurs in workers involved in quarrying, mining, sandblasting, tunneling, foundry work and ceramics. Pneumothorax is one of the complications of silicosis. The occurrence of pneumothorax in a patient with silicosis is a rare event, but it may be fatal. The incidence of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) in silicosis as such is not known. This study aims to report the cases of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax in patients of silicosis in Southern part of Rajasthan.Methods: 50 patients of silicosis established by historical, clinical evaluation and radiological evidence with increased dyspnoea were included in the study. In all patients Chest X ray was done immediately.Results: Among 50 patients of silicosis with increased dyspnoea, Chest X ray showed pneumothorax in 20 patients of which 4 had bilateral pneumothorax, 7 had right pneumothorax and 9 had left pneumothorax. The mean duration of exposure to silica particles was 10 years (5 to 15 years). All the patients had various degrees of dyspnoea and chest pain. Tube thoracostomy was performed in 15 patients while 5 patients were managed conservatively with oxygen and bronchodilators.Conclusions: Our study showed an increased incidence of secondary pneumothorax in silicosis patients. The occurrence of pneumothorax, though rare in silicosis is a potentially life-threatening complication and may cause serious morbidity and mortality. The patients of silicosis who develop sudden onset of dyspnoea should be promptly investigated for this complication.

Abstract The authors present a rare case of giant mediastinal cyst which arises from the thymus gland, and goes down in both pleural spaces, especially in the right chest cavity where a dominant part of the cyst was present. The cyst was full with 2.5 liters of transparent fluid, and compressed surrounding structures – heart and both lungs, especially the right one which was partially collapsed. The patient was a 52 years old woman, without any clinical symptoms. Accidentally, on the screened chest X-ray a shading in the distal third of the right chest was detected. The case was well documented with a CT of the chest, and an indication for surgical treatment was made. The surgery was done successfully in general anesthesia according to the small right anterior thoracotomy from which a giant part of the cyst was mobilized, which was in the right pleural cavity, but, also, the thymus with the origin of the cyst in the anterior and superior mediastinum was completely removed. In the end, a part of the cyst which was in the left pleural cavity was removed.

In reference to the article by Sane et al. entitled "Value of Preoperative Chest X-ray Examinations in Children" (Pediatrics 60:669, November 1977), we would like to know if the authors broke down the abnormalities by age group—for instance, five-year segments. If so, did a preponderance of abnormalities of any variety occur at any particular age? We believe that should be stated, as it would strengthen their thesis if there was no difference between 0 and 19 years of age.

INTRODUCTION: Various chest X-ray scoring systems have been discovered and are employed to correlate with clinical severity, outcome and progression of diseases. With, the coronavirus outbreak, few chest radiograph classication were formulated, like the BSTI classication and the Brixia chest X-ray score. Brixia CXR scoring is used for assessing the clinical severity and outcome of COVID-19. This study aims to compare the Brixia CXR score with clinical severity of COVID-19 patients. MATERIAL& METHODS:This was a retrospective study in which medical records of patients aged 18 years or above, who tested for RTPCR or st st Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) for COVID positive from 1 February 2021 to 31 July 2021 (6 months) were taken. These subjects were stratied into mild, moderate and severe patients according to the ICMR guidelines. Chest X Rays were obtained and lesions were classied according to Brixia scoring system. RESULTS: Out of these 375 patients, 123 (32.8%) were female and 252 (67.2%) were male subjects. The average brixia score was 11.12. Average Brixia CXR score for mild, moderate and severe diseased subjects were 5.23, 11.20, and 14.43 respectively. DISCUSSION:The extent of chest x-ray involvement is proportional to the clinical severity of the patient. Although, a perplexing nding was that the average Brixia score of the female subjects were slightly higher than their male counterparts in the same clinical groups. CONCLUSION: Brixia CXR score correlates well with the clinical severity of the COVID-19.
