History of Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a disease first recognised in 1877 by the English skin specialist, Dr Johnathan Hutchinson. He later reported the case of a lady who had a unusual skin condition, to the Dermatological Society of London in 1895. He named the condition "Mortimer's Malady", after the patient. At the turn of the century a Norwegian skin specialist named Boeck called this condition 'sarkoid' as he thought it was a type of sarcoma, a form of tumour. It was called "Boeck's Sarcoid" in his honour, the name used widely throughout this century. It is now called sarcoidosis.
What is Sarcoidosis?
Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease of unknown cause which affects mainly the lungs, liver, lymph glands and salivary glands. Small nodules or granulomas form in these areas, often damaging them. It is not cancerous or malignant. It belongs to a group of conditions which cause chronic inflammation, called "granulomatous diseases". Granuloma comes from a Latin word meaning little grain or granule.
How do these granulomas form?

SARCOIDOSIS By the end of the course, the student will be able to:
A. Define Sarcoidosis and recognize misconceptions about the disease
B. Describe the symptoms and common tests performed for Sarcoidosis
C. Be aware of how to manage and diagnose Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a disease due to inflammation. It can appear in almost any body organ, but most often starts in the lungs or lymph nodes. No one yet knows what causes sarcoidosis. 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. 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. Usual Symptoms Shortness of breath (dyspnea) and a cough that won't go away can be among the first symptoms of sarcoidosis. But sarcoidosis can also show up suddenly with the appearance of skin rashes. Red bumps (erythema nodosum) on the face, arms, or shins, and inflammation of the eyes are also common symptoms. It is not unusual, however, for sarcoidosis symptoms to be more general. Weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, fever, or just an overall feeling of ill health can also be clues to the disease.

CASE REPORT
Neurosarcoidosis With Obstructive Hydrocephalus Associated with Sudden Unexpected Death
Michael D. Bell, MD ABSTRACT Sarcoidosis rarely presents as sudden and unexpected death. Most sarcoid deaths seen by medical examiners have cardiac conduction system or massive heart involvement. Involvement of the central nervous system by sarcoidosis can also present as unexpected death. A 32 year old obese black man complained of dizziness, headaches, and episodic vomiting. Despite two hospitalizations and cranial magnetic resonance imaging showing hydrocephalus, he was continually treated for vertigo with meclizine. He was found dead at home three months after his initial complaints. Autopsy revealed non-caseating granulomas throughout his lungs, lymph nodes, liver, and meninges. The granulomas were acid-fast and Gomori-methanamine-silver negative. The meningeal granulomas obstructed the foramina of Magendie and Luschka causing hydrocephalus and elevated intracranial pressure resulting in his symptoms. Patients with neurosarcoidosis and hydrocephalus have a greater mortality (67%) and higher incidence of sudden death (40%) compared to those patients without hydrocephalus. Cardiac involvement by the granulomas was insignificant, although the decedent did have one focus of severe coronary narrowing by atherosclerosis. This case of neurosarcoidosis with hydrocephalus combined with inadequate medical follow-up resulted in sudden and unexpected death.

Diagnostics
Algorithms for Diagnosing Some Electrolyte Disorders
MILFORD FULOP MD
From the Department of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and Jacobi Medical Center, Bronx, NY.
The differential diagnosis of electrolyte disorders has traditionally been framed in terms of pathophysiology, and analysis of clinical problems has usually proceeded in the same way. However, easier access to rapid-response laboratory analysis has prompted physicians who encounter patients with serious electrolyte abnormalities to try to establish the cause by quickly obtaining further simple tests. In that vein, this article and the algorithms that are presented are intended to assist the preliminary laboratory differential diagnosis of low and high serum levels of sodium, potassium, and calcium.

The material is not autofluorescent, unlike lipofuscin, and the particles have been found to be composed largely of sulfur. References: Case 1999-2 Submitted by: Juan Bilbao, M.D., and Dr. Gary Moddel, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA Diagnosis: Autophagic-vacuolar myopathy induced by omeprazole. Comment: On EM there were myelin bodies and extruded lysosomes, as well as glycogen granules which however were not incorporated into the lysosomes. No curvilinear bodies were found. Congo red stain exhibited threads in the affected fibers. Some people thought that the picture was that of inclusion body myositis, but it was pointed out that in Japan, Congo red positive material has been described in muscle fibers in chloroquine myopathy, which this case resembles. The patient’s symptoms subsided following cessation of omeprazole treatment, and they recurred after rechallenge, with elevation of serum CK.

Principal uses of beryllium stem from the discovery in the 1920s that an addition of only 2% beryllium to copper results in an alloy six times stronger than copper. beryllium-copper alloys withstand high temperatures, are extraordinarily hard, resistant to corrosion, do not spark, and are nonmagnetic. These alloys are used in many critical moving parts of aircraft engines, in key components of precision instruments, electrical relays, and switches. Beryllium-copper hammers, wrenches, and other nonsparking tools are used in the petroleum industry where sparks from steel might cause explosions. In the electronics industry, including personal computers, Beryllium-copper alloys are found in integrated circuit sockets and electronic connectors. An alloy of 25% beryllium has some limited use in camera shutters. Beryllium-copper alloys are also used in golf clubs, springs, pivots, wheels, pinions, submarine cable housings, and dental prostheses. Because of its low atomic number, beryllium is very permeable to X-rays. Its low neutron absorptance and high scattering cross-section make it a suitable moderator and reflector in structural materials within nuclear facilities. Beryllium metal can be used as structural material in space technology, in special windows for X-ray tubes, in gyroscopes, computer parts, and missle inertial guidance systems, as an additive in solid propellant rocket fuels, heat-sink material in high performance aircraft brakes, mirror components in satellite optical systems, and development of brass alloys.

sarcoidosis Also known as sarcoid or Boeck s disease, is a multi-system auto-immune disease. It is a systemic granulomatous disease
http://www.4burialinsurance.com/lungdisease.html
Lung or Respiratory Disease
What do the lungs do?
The main function of the lungs is (rapid) gas exchange. This is accomplished by a well-coordinated interaction of the lungs with the central nervous system, the diaphragm and chest wall musculature, and the circulatory system.
Gas exchange occurs in the alveolus where the thin laminar blood flow and inspired air are separated only by a thin tissue layer. Gas exchange takes 0.25 seconds or 1/3 of the total transit time of a red cell. The entire blood volume of the body passes through the lungs each minute in the resting state, that is 5 liters per minute. The total surface area of the lung is about 80 meters square, equivalent to the size of a tennis court.
Only about 10% of the lung is occupied by solid tissue, whereas the remainder is filled with air and blood. Supporting structures of the lung must be delicate to allow gas exchange, yet strong enough to maintain architectural integrity, that is sustain alveolar structure. The functional structure of the lung can be divided into (1) the conducting airways (dead air space), and (2) the gas exchange portions. The two plumbing systems are: airways for ventilation, and the circulatory system for perfusion. Both are under low pressure.
Lung conditions and terms:
  • Respiratory infection - Can be caused by anything from the rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, and multiple other viruses. Mild cases are known as the common cold, severe cases become Pneumonia, and can be life threatening.
