Dear Dr. Ooldmani
I don't know IT you are located close to Springfield, Massachusetts. if you are. Dr* Willies leesell, who is our aedlaal director at our Springfield plant, la quite familiar with the syndrome In T90 workers. I am sure he would he happy to discuss it with you In person*
Frankly, there Isn't too much to say. Approximately of the workers who are engaged in the polymerisation of FVC develop a sort of Rayaands of the heads. Shis may or nay not be associated with Osteolysis of the terminal phalaz^es. He have not seen any of these cases and we have X-rayed about 100 workers who had some exposure at our FfC kettles* Same Individuals develop the bong* changes without skin changes*
the cease la wknown and It appears that healing takes place after removal from the type of work.
Z am sorry X can't be more definite but there la quite a bit that la unclear about this particular phenomenon.
ery truly yours.
