• Tocilizumab may represent a novel therapy in patients with sarcoidosis. Our hypothesis is IL6 receptor inhibition blocks sarcoidosis granuloma formation. Formal clinical trials of inhibitory therapies should be considered.
Objectives The Steroid PRO is a treatment-specific patient-reported outcome questionnaire which measures the impact of glucocorticoids on health-related quality life. It has 15 items grouped into 4 domains (Social impact, Impact Appearance, Psychological and Treatment Concerns). Initially developed validated in rheumatic diseases, demonstrates potential for broader application patients with other inflammatory conditions. objective this study was to assess face validity, content validity...
Wellness is critical to physicians in training and the general physician workforce. At present, especially intensive care unit are experiencing high rates of depression burnout. The prevalence burnout greatest resident fellow trainees. Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has recognized importance wellness by proposing Common Program Requirements that pertain trainee faculty well-being. Several individual-focused, organizational, structural strategies have been described...
Historically, sarcoidosis was described as a restrictive lung disease, but several alternative phenotypes of pulmonary function have been observed. Pulmonary in may represent different clinical and/or molecular phenotypes.
Abstract Background People with autoimmune or inflammatory conditions taking immunomodulatory/suppressive medications may have higher risk of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Chronic care has also changed for many patients, uncertain downstream consequences. Methods We included participants followed by specialists at Johns Hopkins. Participants completed periodic surveys querying comorbidities, disease-modifying medications, exposures, COVID-19 testing and outcomes, social...
Introduction Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous inflammatory disorder. associated with significant morbidity and rising healthcare utilisation. Patients sarcoidosis report higher psychological symptoms than the general population. We evaluated association between depressive anxiety clinical outcomes in patients pulmonary requiring treatment. Methods Adult Johns Hopkins Clinic diagnosed on treatment were eligible for enrollment. Questionnaires administered to assess symptoms,...
Music-related injuries among musicians, including younger have been well documented; however, minimal research has completed with college-aged instrumentalists. The purpose of this study was to describe the presence physical symptoms in college-age musicians and impact these on music-playing other daily occupations. Data collection college instrumental music majors using two survey questionnaires, which documented upper limb function. results indicate that a significant number students...
Rationale: It is important for attending physicians to know which behaviors influence learner perceptions. To date, two studies focusing on general medicine have been published addressing internal residents’ perceptions of physicians; there are no data intensive care unit (ICU) physicians.Objectives: We sought expand the evidence regarding this topic through a multicenter study at four geographically diverse academic medical centers. Our focused identifying teaching ICU that learners observe...
Parkinson's disease (PD) does not manifest clinically until 80 % of striatal dopamine is reduced, thus most neuronal damage takes place before the patient presents clinical symptoms. Therefore, it important to develop preventive strategies for this disease. In experimental models PD, 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP+) and rotenone induce toxicity in dopaminergic neurons. Neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1) displays neuroprotection cells undergoing proteotoxic oxidative stress. present report, we...
Given the heterogeneity of sarcoidosis, predicting disease course patients remains a challenge. Our aim was to determine whether 3-year change in pulmonary function differed between phenotypes and there were differential longitudinal changes by race sex.
