The authors report the case of a 53-year-old man with diffuse cutaneous and mediastinal pulmonary sarcoidosis and well-controlled steroid-induced diabetes. He was hospitalized for cellulitis of his left leg. His standard treatment for sarcoidosis consisted of prednisone and methotrexate. Prednisone was stopped at his admission. He received antibiotics for 4 weeks to treat the cellulitis. In parallel, the leg wound was treated with daily silver sulfadiazine applications until necrosis removal, then by skin autografting. Four successive procedures were performed, but all failed despite lack of surgical problem or local infection. Methotrexate was stopped after the fourth grafting procedure failed; the fifth, and final, autografting procedure was successfully performed.

Objective: This review investigates the association between physical trauma and the onset and progression of various inflammatory diseases, including psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthropathies (SpA), and Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). In addition, we will refer to the linkage between physical injury and skin manifestations in patients with psoriasis, sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis. The aim is to summarize the current evidence and explore the potential mechanisms through which trauma may affect these conditions.

Background: Interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis remain serious medical problems worldwide. This study aims to assess the global burden and health inequalities of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis between 1990 and 2021.
Methods: Data on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary sarcoidosis were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2021.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored how dietary sodium intake affects the occurrence and prevalence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary sarcoidosis using data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019.
- Using advanced statistical methods, the research found a strong correlation between high dietary sodium intake and higher incidence and prevalence rates of these respiratory diseases.
- The findings suggest that reducing dietary sodium could be a key public health strategy to decrease the impact of ILD and pulmonary sarcoidosis.
