Typical #pulmonary manifestations of #sarcoidosis include bilateral hilar adenopathy, pulmonary reticular and/or nodular opacities. #Pleural involvement is uncommon and observed in approximately 3% of cases, with pleural effusion being the most prevalent manifestation, and more rarely as bilateral and substantial pleural thickening. *Images show mass-like multifocal pleural thickening along with parenchymal changes of sarcoidosis.

If you are over 40, it's crucial to know about the TROPONIN blood test. It could be a life saver if you are experiencing chest pains and abnormal ECG. Troponin is a protein complex found in cardiac muscle, with three types: troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T. Troponin I and T are commonly measured in blood tests to diagnose heart conditions. Elevated levels of these proteins can indicate a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or other heart-related issues, as they are released into the bloodstream when the heart muscle is damaged. Read this tweet by a Chennai doctor on how they saved the life of a 26-year-old patient and the relevance of troponin tests. If an ECG is abnormal, the next immediate step is a troponin test. This knowledge could be lifesaving. Full thread here https://lnkd.in/gsh4UxAc

How Heme group is held in place in the Hemoglobin? An adult at rest consumes the equivalent of 250 ml of pure oxygen per minute. This oxygen is used to provide energy for all the tissues and organs of the body, even when the body is at rest. The body's oxygen needs increase dramatically during exercise or other strenuous activities. The oxygen is carried in the blood from the lungs to the tissues where it is consumed. However, only about 1.5% of the oxygen transported in the blood is dissolved directly in the blood plasma. Transporting the large amount of oxygen required by the body, and allowing it to leave the blood when it reaches the tissues that demand the most oxygen, require a more sophisticated mechanism than simply dissolving the gas in the blood. To meet this challenge, the body is equipped with a finely-tuned transport system that centers on the metal complex heme.
