Focus on Sarcoidosis
Randomised, placebo-controlled trial of dexamethasone for quality of life in pulmonary sarcoidosis
Many patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis experience reduced quality of life. Although oral corticosteroids are the most common agents used in sarcoidosis, very little is known on the effects on quality of life.Sleep disturbance and symptom burden in sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with myriad symptoms, including fatigue. It can affect physiological processes like sleep, leading to poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness. We hypothesized that sarcoidosis patients would report more severe sleep disturbance than healthy controls and that relationships would be found with sleep disturbance and the severity of other symptoms.Everyday cognitive failure and depressive symptoms predict fatigue in sarcoidosis: A prospective follow-up study
Fatigue is a major and disabling problem in sarcoidosis. Knowledge concerning correlates of the development of fatigue and possible interrelationships is lacking.
