DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12201
Abstract: Cardiac involvement is the main determinant of poor outcomes in sarcoidosis. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and left ventricular (LV) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) have been reported to be predictive of adverse outcome in non‐ischaemic cardiomyopathies.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00408-017-9994-4
Abstract: PurposeThe dose of repository corticotropin (RCI) and need for a loading dose in sarcoidosis patients receiving chronic corticosteroids are unclear. We performed a single-blind prospective study, comparing two doses of RCI in sarcoidosis.MethodsChronic pulmonary sarcoidosis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2020.04.074
Abstract: BACKGROUND In cohort studies of pulmonary sarcoidosis, abnormal ventilatory patterns have generally been sub-divided into restrictive and obstructive defects. Mixed ventilatory defects have been largely overlooked in pulmonary sarcoidosis as total lung capacity (TLC) has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chest.2021.05.031
Abstract: BACKGROUND Tobacco smoking is associated with a reduced risk of developing sarcoidosis, and we previously reported that nicotine normalizes immune responses to environmental antigens in patients with active pulmonary sarcoidosis. The effects of nicotine on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2018.08.030
Abstract: ABSTRACT The feature of pulmonary sarcoidosis is characterized by a Th1/Th17/regulatory T cells (Tregs) ‐driven inflammatory process in lung, resulting in noncaseating granulomas containing CD4+ T cells. Tregs increase in both lung and peripheral blood,… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Diagnosis of extra-pulmonary sarcoidosis can be difficult, and a biopsy is usually required. We evaluated the utility of endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in patients with suspected extra-pulmonary sarcoidosis with thoracic lymph nodes ≤10 mm… read more here.
