Extractions: Accommodation Ideas Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis (SAR-coy-DOH-sis) is an inflammatory disease characterized by granulomas (small rounded outgrowths made up of blood vessels, cells, and connective tissues) that can produce many different symptoms. It is generally a chronic disease, lasting for several years or a lifetime. Some people, however, may have a type that only lasts a few months. Some people may have no symptoms; others may have symptoms that include: skin, lung, and eye problems; arthritis; myositis; fever; fatigue; and weight loss. From: http://www.arthritis.org/conditions/diseasecenter/sarcoidosis.asp Accommodation ideas for individuals with sarcoidosis: Fatigue: Possible solutions include a reduced work schedule, periodic rest breaks, a transfer to a less physically demanding job, flexible use of leave time, reducing or eliminating physical exertion and workplace stress, work from home, implementing ergonomic workstation design , and providing a scooter or other mobility aid if walking cannot be reduced.
Dr. Koop - Sarcoidosis
sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown cause in which inflammation occurs in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, and/or other tissues.
http://www.drkoop.com/ency/93/000076.html

Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The cause of the disease is unknown. Tissue samples from affected organs show clusters of immune cells (macrophages, lymphocytes, and multinucleated giant cells). These clusters are called granulomas. Possible causes include a hypersensitive response to some factor in the environment, a genetic predisposition, or an extreme immune response to infection. The incidence varies widely according to race and sex. The disease is most common among North Americans of African heritage and Northern European Caucasians. Women of African heritage are affected more than men of African heritage. The onset of the disease usually occurs in people between 30 and 50 years old. Sarcoidosis is very rare in young children.

Extractions: Diagnosis Sarcoidosis What is sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is a disease that results from inflammation of tissues of the body. It can appear in almost any body organ, but most often starts in the lungs or lymph nodes. The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. The disease can appear suddenly and disappear. Or it can develop gradually and go on to produce symptoms that come and go, sometimes for a lifetime. As sarcoidosis progresses, small lumps, or granulomas, appear in the affected tissues. In the majority of cases, these granulomas clear up, either with or without treatment. In the few cases where the granulomas do not heal and disappear, the tissues tend to remain inflamed and become scarred (fibrotic). Sarcoidosis was first identified over 100 years ago by two dermatologists working independently, Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson in England and Dr. Caesar Boeck in Norway. Sarcoidosis was originally called Hutchinson's disease or Boeck's disease. Dr. Boeck went on to fashion today's name for the disease from the Greek words "sark" and "oid," meaning flesh-like. The term describes the skin eruptions that are frequently caused by the illness.

Extractions: Posteroanterior (PA) and lateral radiographs show prominence of both hila ( arrow ), widening of the right paratracheal stripe ( arrow ), and obliteration of the aortopulmonary window ( arrow ). Multiple small nodules are visible in both lungs. The lung volumes are decreased. High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) confirms miliary-like nodules in a subpleural, perihilar, and bronchovascular distribution. Fissures are thickened. Paratracheal ( arrow ), bilateral hilar ( arrow ) and subcarinal ( arrow ) lymph nodes are also demonstrated. Sarcoidosis (stage II) In sarcoidosis, clinical staging is based on the chest radiograph: Intrathoracic lymphadenopathy is the most common finding in sarcoidosis occurring in over 85% of patients. The most common pattern is right paratracheal and bilateral hilar adenopathy (the "1,2,3 sign"). Unusual patterns of lymph node enlargement occasionally occur. While not common, paratracheal, subcarinal, aortopulmonary window, and other mediastinal lymph node groups can be involved in the absence of hilar disease.

Extractions: Words of Prosperity U nderstanding S arcoidosis What is Sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect almost any organ in the body. It most commonly starts in the lungs or lymph nodes. Although no one knows exactly what causes sarcoidosis, it is clear that the disease is characterized by the formation of granulomas which are small collections of tissue and inflammatory cells. Granulomas collect in various organs of the body and can lead to chronic inflammation and scarring. Sarcoidosis and African American Women Sarcoidosis is a relatively common disease affecting people of all ages and sexes. It usually affects people between the ages of 20 and 40, but it can occur in children and in the elderly. In the United States, sarcoidosis is approximately 10-15 times more common in African Americans than Whites.

http://www.sarcoidosisresearch.org/

Extractions: Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis (sar"koi'do'sis) is a complex disease for which the cause and cure are unknown. Sarcoidosis involves inflammation that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body. The lumps are called granulomas (gran"u-lo'mahs) because under the microscope they look like grains of sugar or sand. When these granulomas invade the body they can cause permanent damage to the affected organ. The prevalence of the disease is approximately 800/100,000. Sarcoidosis is most often treated with the steroid, prednisone for which there are numerous adverse side effects. Sarcoidosis affects each patient differently. Lucky patients experience minimal symptoms with little change to their lifestyles. Thousands of others are totally debilitated by the disease; it has been fatal to many. Sarcoidosis can occur in almost any part of your body, including: Lungs
Corticosteroids For Pulmonary Sarcoidosis (Cochrane Review)
Abstract of a systematic review of the effects of health care prepared by the Cochrane Collaboration.
http://www.cochrane.org/cochrane/revabstr/AB001114.htm

Extractions: From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2005 Corticosteroids for pulmonary sarcoidosis (Cochrane Review) Paramothayan NS, Lasserson TJ, Jones PW ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 28 January 2005. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a common condition with an unpredictable course. Oral (OCS) or inhaled steroids (ICS) are widely used in its treatment, but there is no consensus about when and in whom therapy should be initiated, what dose should be given and for how long. Corticosteroids given for several months have deleterious side-effects so it is important to know whether they have any maintained benefit in pulmonary sarcoidosis. Objectives: To determine the randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence for the benefit of corticosteroids (oral or inhaled) in the treatment of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Search strategy: MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL were searched using predefined terms. Bibliographies of retrieved RCTs and reviews were searched for additional RCTs. Pharmaceutical companies and authors of identified RCTs were contacted for other published and unpublished studies. Searches are current as of May 2004.

This condition of unknown origin is most common in African Americans and northern Europeans. The organs most commonly affected are the lungs, lymph nodes, skin, and eyes. [1-4] Sarcoidosis typically causes no significant derangements, but on occasion the granulomas can become so large or numerous that they impair the function of the affected organ.

OSH Answers Feedback Printer Friendly Layout Inquiries Service What is sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can attack any organ of the body. However, it is most frequently found in the lungs. Sarcoidosis is characterized by the presence of small areas of inflammed cells called granulomas. Granulomas can be found inside the body, for example, on the walls of the bronchi and bronchioles (breathing tubes) in the lungs. They can also appear as sores on the skin. What are the symptoms of sarcoidosis? Sarcoidosis causes a variety of symptoms or no symptoms at all. Patients suffering from pulmonary sarcoidosis may have a dry cough, shortness of breath and chest pain. There also can be fatigue, weakness and weight loss. For those cases where the disease appears outside the lungs, symptoms can include fever, painful joints, scaly rashes, and bloodshot eyes.
