Article Abstract
Background: The role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the early management of chronic cardiac inflammatory conditions is growing. Our case enlightens the benefit of quantitative mapping in the monitoring and treatment guidance in systemic sarcoidosis.
Case Presentation: We report about a 29-year-old man with an ongoing dyspnea and bihilar lymphadenopathy, suggesting sarcoidosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed high mapping values, but no scarring. In follow-ups, cardiac remodeling was noted; cardioprotective treatment normalized cardiac function and mapping markers. Definitive diagnosis was achieved in extracardiac lymphatic tissue during a relapse.
Conclusion: This case shows the role that mapping markers can play in the detection and treatment at early stage of systemic sarcoidosis.

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent manifestation of connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Clinical practice guidelines to standardise screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for CTD-ILD are of high importance for optimised patient care.
Methods: A European Respiratory Society and European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology task force committee, composed of pulmonologists, rheumatologists, pathologists, radiologists, methodologists and patient representatives, developed recommendations based on PICO (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) questions with grading of the evidence according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations) methodology and complementary narrative questions agreed on by both societies.

Purpose: Sarcoidosis is a chronic, multisystem granulomatous disorder characterized histologically by non-caseating granulomas. Despite the availability of various therapeutic options, long-term disease control remains a significant clinical challenge.
Materials And Methods: We report the case of a 55-year-old female diagnosed with sarcoidosis.

Clinical/methodical Issue: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause, characterized by the formation of noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas, which can potentially affect nearly every organ. The lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes are most commonly affected-with granulomatous involvement found in approximately 90% of cases. Typically, younger adults are affected by sarcoidosis.

This study aims to evaluate obstetric and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by RDs and to identify hemogram-derived biomarkers associated with adverse perinatal events. This retrospective cohort study analyzed 360 pregnancies in individuals diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Sjögren's disease, sarcoidosis, undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD), and other autoimmune conditions, followed up at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, between 2013 and 2018. Data on disease activity, maternal complications, neonatal outcomes, and inflammatory markers were extracted from electronic medical records.
