Researchers recommend high-resolution CT scans to diagnose silicosis, which is an irreversible lung disease caused by cutting quartz countertops and breathing silica dust.
A group of plaintiffs have petitioned the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to consolidate all Depo-Provera lawsuits before one federal judge for coordinated pretrial proceedings.
Lawsuit alleges a man suffered permanent hearing loss after several months of IV infusions of Tepezza, indicating that the drug maker delayed adding warnings to the thyroid eye disease drug label.
A former quartz countertop cutter's silicosis lawsuit indicates that he could have avoided the severe lung damage if warnings had been provided about steps that would have reduced exposure to silica dust.
