Effect of obesity on patient-reported outcomes in sarcoidosis

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (2013)

Branislav Gvozdenović V. Mihailoviç-Vucinic Mira Vuković Elyse E. Lower Robert P. Baughman

To assess the impact of high body mass index (BMI) on patient-reported outcomes in sarcoidosis patients and healthy persons.In this case-control study, we investigated symptoms of fatigue and dyspnoea, health status, BMI and spirometric tests in 184 sarcoidosis patients and the same number of sex- and age-matched healthy subjects. Fatigue was assessed using the fatigue scale (FS), dyspnoea was determined by the baseline dyspnoea index (BDI) and health status was measured using the respiratory-specific St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).There were significantly more subjects with increased BMI (≥25 kg/m(2)) among the sarcoidosis patients than among the healthy volunteers ((2) 37.675, P < 0.01). Sarcoidosis patients also had a greater probability of having a higher BMI (P < 0.01, OR 1.18, 95%CI 1.071.3). We found significantly lower BDI scores and forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity, as well as higher total SGRQ and total FS scores in sarcoidosis patients than in healthy individuals (P < 0.01 for all differences).Sarcoidosis significantly reduces patients' health status, both independently and also due to increased BMI. Reduction in BMI may contribute to improved spirometry results and health status of patients with sarcoidosis.

The utility of 18F-FDG PET/CT in chronic sarcoidosis

European Respiratory Journal (2013)

Jelica Videnović-Ivanov Dragana Šobić-Šaranović Violeta Vucinic Isidora Grozdic Milojevic Snežana Filipović

The analysis was performed in chronic sarcoidosis patients with persistent clinical symptoms due to assess the utility of 18F-FDG PET/CT. The analysis were performed before and after the period of specific therapy for sarcoidosis due to clinical-radiographic-functional findings. Methods: We analyzed 51 patients with chronic sarcoidosis (mean age ± SD: 47 ± 12 year; 38 F/13M). After the follow up (12 ± 5 months ), the clinical status,functional findings and therapy modalities were analyzed. Results: 18F-FDG PET CT detected activity s.inflammation in 37 patients (82%) (SUV: 8.1 ± 3.9).MDCT was positive in 5 additional patients (89%). The difference between this two methods was not significant.Correlation between ACE levels and 18F-FDG PET/CT results were obtaine in 25 (49%) patients (P = 0.002,Mann–Whitney test). In 26 patients (51%) with positive 18F-FDG PET/CT findings, the ACE levels were in physiological levels. The therapies were initiated or even changed in 43 (81%). Significante correlation were find out between the positive 18F-FDG PET/CT results and changes in therapies. Conclusion: the results from our study indicate that 18F-FDG PET/CT is the important diagnostic method in chronic sarcoidosis due to obtaine the activity of sarcoidosis granulomas.

Fatigue in sarcoidosis: Detection and treatment

Srpski arhiv za celokupno lekarstvo (2012)

Violeta Vucinic Mirjana Stojković Branislava Milenković Jelica Videnović-Ivanov Vesna Škodrić-Trifunović

Fatigue is a prominent symptom in a large number of medical conditions, malignant and infectious diseases. Fatigue is also a prominent symptom of sarcoidosis. The occurrence of fatigue in sarcoidosis is well known but exact incidence has not been established and varies from 30-70% of patients depending on age, sex and organ involvement by the granulomatous process. The exact definition of fatigue varies broadly. It can be both physical and mental. The patients describe their sensation of fatigue qualitatively different from that fatigue they experienced before they became sick. Fatigue has a major impact on the quality of life in sarcoidosis. Establishing the extent of fatigue in sarcoidosis provides relevant insight regarding the patient?s quality of life. Unfortunately there is no objective parameter for assessing fatigue in sarcoidosis. Generally, fatigue is detected by means of questionnaires. Regarding the therapy, there is no effective treatment for fatigue in sarcoidosis.

Endobronchial ultrasound in diagnosing sarcoidosis

Medicinski pregled (2013)

Milan Savić Mihailo Stjepanović Violeta Mihailović-Vučinić Branislav Gvozdenović Snežana Filipović

Introduction. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis can be established when there is a compatible clinical-radiological picture together with pathohistological evidence of noncaseating epitheloid cell granulomas. Novelties in Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis. Pathohistological specimens can be obtained by conventional bronchoscopy with endobronchial and transbronchial lung biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage, surgical procedures like cervical mediastinoscopy, diagnostic thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and recently introduced endoscopic ultrasound techniques (endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration). Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration have given a great contribution to diagnosis of sarcoidosis and present next diagnostic step after negative bronchoscopy. Conclusion. Reduction of surgical procedures in diagnosis of sarcoidosis, can be expected (first of all mediastinoscopy) by introducing endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration and endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration.

SELECTION OF AN OPTIMUM TYPE OF VEHICLE FOR AN URBAN PASSENGER PUBLIC TRANSPORT LINE. PROCEEDINGS--MODERN TENDENCIES IN SOLVING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS IN TOWNS, OCTOBER 1987, SKOPJE

Snežana Filipović

The paper presents a method of selecting an optimum vehicle on the urban public transport line. The method consists of two stages: 1) the selection of an optimum vehicle is performed from the point of view of use and necessary operational and technical conditions; 2) the final selection is made taking into account the optimum type of the vehicle (stage 1), the limitations and efficiency of each particular type of vehicle.
