8-Isoprostane levels in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis
(2013)Objective and design: Sarcoidosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are both associated with deregulated inflammatory mechanisms partially triggered by aggravated oxidative stress. 8-Isoprostane has been proposed as ... -
Concurrent cardiac sarcoidosis and obstructive sleep apnea presenting as arrhythmias
(2020)Background: Cardiac involvement is a rare and potentially fatal presentation of sarcoidosis. Obstructive sleep apnea may complicate sarcoidosis. Case presentation: We report a case of a sarcoidosis patient with cardiac ... -
Correlation of spleen metabolism assessed by 18F-FDG PET with serum interleukin-2 receptor levels and other biomarkers in patients with untreated sarcoidosis
(2016)Background The objective of our study was to assess the possible relationship between splenic F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake and other established biochemical markers of sarcoidosis activity. Patients and methods ... -
Detection of mitochondrial transfer RNA (mt-tRNA) gene mutations in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis
(2018)Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production may lead to tissue injury associated with two respiratory disorders of unknown origin which are shared by common tissue fibrosis, IPF and sarcoidosis. Sequence analysis of ... -
Increased primary autoimmune thyroid diseases and thyroid antibodies in sarcoidosis: Evidence for an under-recognised extrathoracic involvement in sarcoido
(2012)Objective and Design: Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn. We aimed to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders and the levels of thyroid ... -
Increased primary autoimmune thyroid diseases and thyroid antibodies in sarcoidosis: evidence for an under-recognised extrathoracic involvement in sarcoidosis?
(2012)OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn. We aimed to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders and the levels of thyroid ... -
Multiplex polymerase chain reaction for the detection of mycobacterial DNA in cases of tuberculosis and sarcoidosis
(1999)The aims of the present study were: (1) to design a sensitive and specific polymerase chain reaction-based method that would allow detection of most common human typical and atypical mycobacterial strains and (2) to apply ... -
Ocular disease awareness and pattern of ocular manifestation in patients with biopsy-proven lung sarcoidosis
(2011)Purpose: The aim of this research is to study the patterns of ocular involvement in patients with biopsy-proven lung sarcoidosis and estimate the level of patients' awareness of possible ocular complications of sarcoidosis. ... -
Polymorphisms and haplotypes in MyD88 are associated with the development of sarcoidosis: a candidate-gene association study
(2013)Sarcoidosis is considered as a disorder of protracted immune response to an as yet unidentified causative agent that leads to granuloma formation. Material from M. tuberculosis and P. acne has been repeatedly detected in ... -
Reticuloendothelial system involvement in untreated sarcoidosis patients as assessed by 18F-FDG PET scanning
(2016)[No abstract available] -
Retinal vasculitis in rheumatic diseases: an unseen burden
(2013)Retinal vascular inflammation, a potentially blinding condition (herein: retinal vasculitis (RV)) is commonly associated with a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by systemic inflammatory cell infiltration and/or ... -
Systemic oxidative stress in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis
(2009)Background: A local redox imbalance has been reported in pulmonary sarcoidosis. However so far no, study has described a systemic redox imbalance in this context. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the systemic ...
