Among the numerous occupational activities associated with an inhalation of dusts of vegetable and animal matter (cotton, hemp, sisal, cork, sugar cane, wood paper, silk, wool, animal hair, feathers, shellac), some of which give rise to progressive fibrosing pneumoconioses (byssinosis, bagassosis, etc.), only tabacosis has been related by epidemiologic evidence to cancer of the lung, while the possibility of such associations deserves consideration for shellac pneumoconiosis.

exteroceptive

Many amputees report that they are able to perform voluntary movements of their phantom, which generally increase the vividness of the sensations; immobility and involuntary movements are also common. Broadly, phantom sensations can be categorized into kinetic, kinesthetic, and exteroceptive components. Kinetic sensations include voluntary or involuntary perceptions of movement, kinesthetic sensations include the position and shape of the missing body part, while exteroceptive perceptions include sensory aspects such as touch, temperature, and vibration. The phantom limb typically mimics the sensory experience of the missing limb with amputees even reporting feeling that the limb is wet, sweaty, or tickly.

Lieutenant Axel suspected an air embolism, meaning that Savino had taken a breath and held it before they’d pulled him up.

It would travel through veins and arteries until it lodged in a passage too small to pass through―in Savino’s case, one bringing blood to the brain. Air embolisms were often deadly, but Savino had survived.
