Background And Objectives: Spinal cord sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of sarcoidosis with a consequent risk of neurologic sequelae for the patient. We investigated prognostic factors and efficacy of immunosuppressive treatments in a longitudinal cohort.
Methods: We retrospectively studied patients with spinal cord sarcoidosis followed between 1995 and 2021 in 7 centers in France.
Objectives: To determine the rate of inappropriate admissions to emergency departments (EDs) and to identify determinants of these admissions.
Design: Prospective multicenter study.
Setting: Burgundy (France), EDs and medical nursing homes (MNHs).

Objective: This study aims to assess a possible relationship between depression, postural and gait abnormalities, and falls.
Background: Whatever may be their clinical presentation, vasculitis syndromes (VS) have a bad prognosis in the very elderly.
Objective: The aim of this work was to study VS particularities in very old people. Most published studies on VS in elderly people concern patients older than 60 years; studies concerning very old patients are unusual.
