Sarcoidosis is a complex multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating granulomas and variable clinical manifestations, most commonly affecting the lungs, skin, heart, and nervous system. Imaging is central in its diagnosis, staging, and management, providing essential insights into organ involvement and disease activity. Pulmonary manifestations remain the hallmark, with modalities such as high-resolution chest computed tomography (CT) and chest radiography offering critical diagnostic clues.

Design: Qualitative study.
Setting: Scholastic and non-scholastic athletic programs.
The torsional strain of -configured medium-sized (6-8) cycloalkenes imparts substantial potential energy efficiently toward ionic additions through generated reactive carbenium species. These reactions have been underexplored due to a historical necessity for harsh ultraviolet irradiation. We report here the Friedel-Crafts (FC) type reactivity of arylcycloalkenes (ACs) and π-nucleophiles for the first time with weak Brønsted acid and visible light energy transfer catalysis.

The musculoskeletal (MSK) system is frequently affected and often the earliest site of disease presentation. Tendon, tendon sheath, bone, muscle, and soft tissue involvement is assessed through a multimodality approach.

Liver R mapping is known to correlate well with LIC. However, traditional spin-echo based R mapping methods have drawbacks such as long acquisition times and limited volumetric coverage.
