Occupational category, job type, and sarcoidosis: Findings from a French multicenter study.
Evidence supporting an occupational hypothesis for sarcoidosis remains limited. The hypothesis of the present study was that some occupational exposures might be more prevalent among sarcoidosis patients than in the French population. A cross-sectional observational study design was used to collect…
Monitoring the safety of the adjuvanted human papillomavirus vaccine HPV-16/18-AS04 in association with pregnancy and potential immune-related diseases in China: A retrospective observational cohort study.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes cervical cancer. The objective of the study is to monitor AS04-adjuvanted HPV-16/18 vaccine (Cervarix, GSK) safety in a real-world setting in China, using electronic health records from the Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform (YRHIP). This retrosp…
Granulomatous inflammation in histopathological samples: examining the aetiological spectrum, diagnostic challenges, and future perspectives.
Granulomas can be found in different tissues and are associated with a variety of processes. To understand the primary diagnoses is the aim of this study. We retrospectively described a cohort of patients with a diagnosis of granulomas in histopathological samples over an 11-year period. Demographic…
Pulmonary tuberculosis occurring during the diagnosis and treatment of sarcoidosis complicated by chylothorax: A case report.
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder, and chylothorax is a rare but severe pleural complication of this disease and exhibits a prominent diagnostic overlap with tuberculosis. The present study reported the case of a 48-year-old woman who was admitted in May 2018 with chronic cough and ch…
Dual-tracer 18F-FDG and 18F-FLT PET/CT for differentiating metastatic lymph nodes from sarcoid involvement in a patient with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma and coexisting pulmonary sarcoidosis.
Differentiating sarcoidosis lesions from metastatic lymph nodes is a well-known clinical challenge, particularly in patients with malignancy in whom sarcoid lesions may mimic nodal metastases on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). We report a 75-…
Rhinologic Manifestations in Systemic Rheumatic Disease.
Sinonasal symptoms are a common early manifestation of several systemic inflammatory diseases and may precede multisystem involvement by days to years. Because nasal obstruction, drainage, epistaxis, crusting, and hyposmia are frequently attributed to chronic rhinosinusitis, diagnoses such as antine…
Latest updates in quality of life and psychological impact of sarcoidosis.
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is now recognized as a major dimension to take into account for a holistic care of sarcoid patients. Accordingly, it has to be precisely and reliably evaluated all along disease evolution in order to prompt appropriate measure when needed. When significantly im…
