Sarcoidosis stage I: left and right hilar and paratracheal adenopathy (1-2-3 sign) Stages Chest films in sarcoidosis have been classified into four stages: Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy Bilateral hilar lymphadenopath + pulmonary disease Only pulmonary disease Irreversible fibrosis These stages donotin...
Although end-stage transplantation is the best option, only 40% of patients live for more than five years after the operation [116]. This is probably due to transplantation-associated complications. One important example is bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a chronic lung allograft rejection ...
Sarcoidosis with fibrosis in the upper lobes. Typical chest film. On the left a typical chest film of long standing sarcoidosis (stage IV) with fibrosis in the upper zones and volume loss of the upper lobes resulting in hilar elevation. Fibrosis results in obliteration of pulmonary vessels, whi...
This case emphasizes that hepatic sarcoidosis can present with symptoms, particularly those of a cholestatic picture, and may histologically involve the liver and lung even with radiographic stage 0 pulmonary sarcoidosis. It also suggests that when determining the extent of systemic sarcoidosis a TBB ...
Parenchymal preserving anatomic resections result in less pulmonary function loss in patients with Stage I non-small cell lung cancer BACKGROUND: A suggested benefit of sublobar resection for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to lobectomy is a relative preservation of pu... RA...
often small in number and not contributing to the extant published literature. Four notable exceptions included the first study reporting an association of COVID-19 outcome with levels of surfactant protein D [21]; a study of the effect of COVID-19 on patients with sarcoidosis [22]; a State...
Idiopathic pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (ipf) is a chronic progressive pulmonary diffuse disease with unknown causes. Early stage alveolitis is also called fibrous alveolar inflammation. Its pathological change is the infiltration of c...

The final CLAD stage of all subjects was known, even when this measure was recorded after BALF collection had ceased. Thus, the data variation for both the microbiome and metabolome was tested against the development of CLAD (CLAD or no-CLAD (collectively including stages 1–4)) [6]. BALF...
