Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is valuable for diagnosing pulmonary sarcoidosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of EBUS-TBNA and cytology in sa...
Patients who underwent EBUS-TBNA for suspected sarcoidosis between January 2011 and November 2019 were identified retrospectively. EBUS-TBNA was performed with rapid on-site cytological evaluation of ...
Eighty patients underwent 83 EBUS-TBNA procedures for suspected sarcoidosis. In total, 136 lymph nodes were sampled. The mean number of lymph node stations sampled was 2.0 ± 0.6; the mean number of ne...
EBUS-TBNA is useful for diagnosing sarcoidosis. Cytology resulted in an additional yield rate of 7.3%, which improved as the number of cases increased....
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown origin, which consists of the formation of multiple sterile noncaseating granulomas. Inhaled antigens are believed to initiate disease in pron...
The aim of this study was to summarize quantitative computed tomography (CT) and machine learning data in fibrotic lung disease and to explore the potential application of these technologies in pulmon...
Recent data in the use of quantitative CT in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) are covered. Machine learning includes deep learning, a branch of machine learning particularly suited to medical ...
Pulmonary sarcoidosis presents unsolved problems for which quantitative CT and deep learning may provide unique solutions: in particular, the exploration of the long-standing question of whether sarco...
The ability of high-definition (HD) videobronchoscopy to detect airway involvement in sarcoidosis has not been evaluated previously....
What is the role of HD videobronchoscopy in the identification of sarcoidosis-associated airway abnormalities (AAs)? What are the patterns of AAs more commonly observed and more frequently associated ...
In this prospective international multicenter cohort study, consecutive patients with suspected sarcoidosis underwent airway inspection with an HD videobronchoscope and EBB using a standardized workfl...
AAs were identified in 64 of 134 patients with sarcoidosis (47.8%), with nodularity (n = 23 [17.2%]), plaque (n = 19 [14.2%]), and increased vascularity (n = 19 [14.2%]) being the most prevalent. The ...
In a population with a large prevalence of White Europeans, HD videobronchoscopy detected AAs in approximately one-half of patients with sarcoidosis. The diagnostic yield of EBB was higher in patients...

This study investigated the relationships between dietary sodium intake and the incidence and prevalence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary sarcoidosis using data from the Global Burden ...
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease mainly affecting the lungs and hilomediastinal lymph nodes. It is characterized by non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas in lymph nodes and lungs. O...
We retrospectively analyzed the frequency and clinical characteristics of organs rarely involved with sarcoidosis in a cohort of 1158 sarcoidosis patients cared for over nearly 11 years in a universit...
Data were analyzed from an institution-approved sarcoidosis clinical database containing demographic and clinical characteristics of sarcoidosis outpatients cared for between May 2011 and March 2021 a...
Twenty-six of the 1158 patients (2.2%) had 27 instances of rare organ involvement. The most common rare organ involved was the GI tract, followed by the testicle and then the female reproductive tract...
Rare sarcoidosis organ involvement occurred in 2.2 percent of this cohort. Although rare organ involvement rarely required treatment, it was associated with more extensive disease that was more likely...
Manifestations of sarcoidosis are variable and non-specific. We are reporting on the case of a 23-year-old man who presented multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules spiculated with peripherical micronodu...
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology, primarily affecting the lungs and thoracic lymph nodes. Fatigue is a frequent and disabling symptom in sarcoidosis with a significa...
To assess the frequency of fatigue in patients with sarcoidosis in Denmark at diagnosis and to investigate if fatigue correlated with relevant disease parameters. Moreover, to characterize patients wi...
Data were collected in 150 patients with recently diagnosed sarcoidosis. Fatigue was measured using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS). Patients with fatigue were compared to non-fatigue patients rega...
FAS was completed by 145 of 150 patients. Fifty-one percent reported significant fatigue. Mean FAS score was 23.6 and 51% had a FAS score ≥ 22. Fatigue in 89 incident patients did not correlate signif...
In Denmark, fatigue was frequent in patients with sarcoidosis. The majority of patients had mild disease at diagnosis and were older but lower at Scadding stage at diagnosis compared to previous cohor...
Sarcoidosis is a complex disease which can affect nearly every organ system with manifestations ranging from asymptomatic imaging findings to sudden cardiac death. As such, diagnosis and prognosticati...
Articles were collected by searching online databases using keywords such as sarcoid, machine learning, artificial intelligence, radiomics, and deep learning. Article titles and abstracts were reviewe...
Machine learning may be used to help diagnose pulmonary sarcoidosis and prognosticate in cardiac sarcoidosis. Deep learning is most comprehensively studied for diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis and h...
