Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the features of scar sarcoidosis (SS) in patients with systemic sarcoidosis at Bellvitge University Hospital from 1980 to 2017.
- Out of 728 systemic sarcoidosis patients, 42 (5.77%) exhibited SS, with most cases appearing at disease onset and some associated with erythema nodosum.
- The findings suggest that while SS can indicate sarcoidosis, it does not significantly impact the prognosis of the disease.
Background: We aimed to evaluate icatibant, a competitive antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptors, for the treatment of inpatients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia admitted in the early hypoxemic stage.
Methods: The randomized, open-label clinical trial of icatibant for COVID-19 pneumonia (ICAT·COVID, registered as NCT04978051 at ClinicalTrials.gov) was conducted in Barcelona.

Methods: To analyze the impact of cocaine and cannabis use on levels of markers of monocyte activation (sCD163 and sCD14) and systemic inflammation (interleukin-6 [IL-6]) in AUD patients admitted for hospital treatment between 2013 and 2018. Clinical and laboratory parameters were obtained upon admission.
