Silicosis can become "complicated" by the development of severe scarring (progressive massive fibrosis, or also known as conglomerate silicosis), where the small nodules gradually become confluent, reaching a size of 1 cm or greater. PMF is associated with more severe symptoms and respiratory impairment than simple disease.
The Mac Pro comes with EFI 1.1, a successor to Apple's use of Open Firmware (and the then wider industry's use of BIOS). [27] Apple's Boot Camp provides BIOS backwards compatibility, allowing dual and triple boot configurations. The following operating systems are installable on Intel x86–based Apple computers: [28] Mac OS X 10.4.7 and later
[1] [2] The three most common types are asbestosis, silicosis, and coal miner's lung. [3] Pneumoconiosis often causes restrictive impairment, [4] although diagnosable pneumoconiosis can occur without measurable impairment of lung function. [1] [2] Depending on extent and severity, it may cause death within months or years, or it may never ...
