It is characterized by T-cell dysfunction and B-cell hyperactivity with increased local immune activity and inflammation that leads to the formation of noncaseating granulomas in the organs involved. The lung and lymphatic system are the most commonly affected organs, however virtually any organ may be affected. Other common sites of involvement include the skin, eye, central nervous system, and the heart. Patients may present different symptoms related to the disease stage and the specific organ involved. Sarcoidosis is a global disease, and its prevalence has increased twofold over the past years. Due to the clinical heterogeneity and variable diagnostic criteria in different countries, it is difficult to calculate the exact prevalence and incidence of sarcoidosis. Age, sex, race, and geographic origin significantly influence the incidence of sarcoidosis. The book at hand seeks to assess the current diagnostic techniques, imaging techniques, differential diagnosis of this disease, as well as other granulomatous diseases mimicking sarcoidosis. 517 $aSarcoidosis and Granulomatosis 606 $aSarcoidosis 615 0$aSarcoidosis. 676 $a616.429 702 $aMotamedi$b Mohammad Hosein 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688312903321 996 $aSarcoidosis and granulomatosis$92951507 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02153nas 2200613 a 450 001 996208309503316 005 20240413014115.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000429491 035 $a(CONSER) 2003235280 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2516608-6 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000429491 100 $a20021223b20022005 uf 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 04$aThe Arab human development report 210 $aNew York, NY $cUnited Nations Development Programme, Regional Bureau for Arab States$d2002- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $a"Sponsored by the Regional Bureau for Arab States/UNDP; Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development." 300 $aEach issue also has a theme title. 311 $aPrint version: The Arab human development report. 1992-7622 606 $aQuality of life$zArab countries$vPeriodicals 606 $aQualidade de vida 606 $aCondic?o?es socioecono?micas 606 $aEntwicklungspolitik$2swd 606 $aEntwicklungsindikator$2stw 606 $aSozialer Indikator$2stw 606 $aLebensqualita?t$2stw 606 $aHumankapital$2stw 606 $aArabische Staaten$2stw 606 $aHUMAN DEVELOPMENT$2unbist 607 $aArab countries$xSocial conditions$vPeriodicals 607 $aArab countries$xEconomic conditions$y21st century$vPeriodicals 607 $aArabien$2swd 608 $aZeitschrift. 615 0$aQuality of life 615 14$aQualidade de vida. 615 4$aCondic?o?es socioecono?micas. 615 07$aEntwicklungspolitik. 615 7$aEntwicklungsindikator. 615 7$aSozialer Indikator. 615 7$aLebensqualita?t. 615 7$aHumankapital. 615 7$aArabische Staaten. 615 17$aHUMAN DEVELOPMENT. 676 $a909 712 02$aUnited Nations Development Programme.$bRegional Bureau for Arab States. 712 02$aArab Fund for Economic and Social Development. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996208309503316 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aThe Arab human development report$91978472 997 $aUNISA
