Monitoring the safety of the adjuvanted human papillomavirus vaccine HPV-16/18-AS04 in association with pregnancy and potential immune-related diseases in China: A retrospective observational cohort study.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes cervical cancer. The objective of the study is to monitor AS04-adjuvanted HPV-16/18 vaccine (Cervarix, GSK) safety in a real-world setting in China, using electronic health records from the Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform (YRHIP). This retrosp…
Occupational category, job type, and sarcoidosis: Findings from a French multicenter study.
Evidence supporting an occupational hypothesis for sarcoidosis remains limited. The hypothesis of the present study was that some occupational exposures might be more prevalent among sarcoidosis patients than in the French population. A cross-sectional observational study design was used to collect…
Strict carbohydrate restriction enables volume-based FDG-PET/CT to outperform SUVmax for risk stratification in cardiac sarcoidosis.
FDG-PET/CT SUVmax reflects focal metabolic intensity but not the patchy inflammatory burden of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). We evaluated whether volume-based total cardiac metabolic volume (tCMV) and total cardiac metabolic activity (tCMA), measured after optimized suppression, predict long-term major…
Isolated subcutaneous sarcoidosis presenting as multiple nodules: a rare case with diagnostic challenges.
Isolated subcutaneous sarcoidosis is an uncommon form of sarcoidosis, typically presenting as firm, painless nodules beneath clinically normal skin. Its rarity, especially in male patients or in atypical anatomical locations, can mimic malignant or infectious processes and cause significant diagnost…
Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy Aiding the Exclusion of Cardiac Sarcoidosis in a Patient with Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor who Developed Complete Atrioventricular Block.
Cardiac sarcoidosis is a major cause of complete atrioventricular block. Although fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG PET/CT) is valuable for the diagnosis, inadequate fasting may result in a physiological myocardial uptake, making interpretation difficult. Somatostatin receptor sci…
