Exactly 3 years ago, I was hiding in the car during a family gathering because with an ultra rare stage IV cancer and at 29 years old, I was overwhelmed and couldn’t handle one more question about what was ahead of me…“what do you mean they don’t know?”

Today, for Pre-Order…

Last but not least, we wish all of our patients with sarcoidosis well for participating in this study and others around the world. Your resilience and bravery in combatting this disease is an inspiration to us all. End

Thanks to all the co-authors of this important study, especially Naftali Kaminski, Mridu Gulati, and Erica Herzog! A hearty congratulations to Vitoria on her first ever research paper. A thank you to the Financial Services Roundtable and ACCP for their respective sponsorship 7/

While we need further study in this area of sarcoidosis, our finding is particularly relevant as a recent study showed that memory formation is mediated through TLR9. Perhaps too little TLR9 activity results in neurocognitive deficits and too much TLR9 leads to fatigue. 6/

Although we found that mitochondrial DNA-TLR9 interactions only partial mediates fatigue in sarcoidosis, our work suggests that chronic innate immune activation represents a potential biologic mechanism for the clinical manifestation of fatigue in this disease. 5/

We found that high levels of mitochondrial DNA, a ligand for the innate immune receptor TLR9, are not only elevated in the plasma of patients with sarcoidosis, but are also associated with various domains of fatigue, including its physical and mental aspects. 4/

Using the GRADS study cohort, which enrolled patients with sarcoidosis across 10 different institutions across the US, we conducted a multi-disciplinary translational study to investigate the biology that drives the development of sarcoidosis-associated fatigue. 3/

Sarcoidosis-related fatigue remains one of, if not the most, common symptom experienced by patients with this disease. Even after treating all known reversible causes of fatigue, patients with sarcoidosis continue to experience high levels of this debilitating symptom. 2/

With Sarcoidosis Awareness Month upon us, I wanted to take this opportunity to share work completed in our lab with Dr. Vitoria Fiorini at the helm, now available in its final form in #ACCP . 1/

The fact that Publix and Wegmans are NOT on this makes this map WRONG

I think we all feel seen with this post

Spoiler alert: It didn't

I am triggered just by seeing this

.Yale New Haven Hosp recently became the first hospital in Connecticut to perform a balloon pulmonary angioplasty procedure to treat a patient’s condition known as chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH): ynhh.org/services/respi….

What an incredible weekend. Started our morning hearing Dr. Dan Culver from the Cleveland Clinic, Founding Member of the FSR Global Sarcoidosis Clinic Alliance, an extraordinary opportunity and experience to hear from him on sarcoidosis manifestations. #LeadingtheWay #FSRGSCA

That’s 100% true and were awesome experiences!

Speaking at Duke today. Really hoping they only boo Caliparis at Cameron and not in the science buildings

The comments on this is amazing, the internet is undefeated!!!

These are the best!
