Question:According to the medical literature, cardiac involvement is clinically evident in about 5% of patients with sarcoidosis but is found in 20% to 30% on autopsy. Sudden cardiac death is the initial presentation in up to 35% of patients. How aggressive should we be about screening for cardiac involvement in patients with sarcoidosis, and what is the best study to use? ... Read more

WHAT A RIP OFF, A SCAM, AND A JOKE!
This is a CD-ROM that is a compilation of free, downloadable PDF reports that you can find on your own online. Most of it is from the National Institue of Health and most of it has nothing to do with Sarcoidosis. The CD was made by someone from home, complete with cheesy stick on label. The author downloads free stuff off of the internet, puts it on a CD, and sells it to suckers like me who just found out they have a strange disease and want to educate themselves about their condition. "Complete Medical Guide to Sarcoidosis . . ."???? You have got to be kidding me. There are so many better, more detailed resources online for Sarcoidosis information that I won't even list them here. Just spend an hour searching the web and you will learn much more than is on this cruel joke of a CD. How do these people sleep at night? I have been duped! ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: According to the general theory of relativity, a black hole is a region of space from which nothing, including light, can escape. It is the result of the deformation of spacetime caused by a very compact mass. Around a black hole there is an undetectable surface which marks the point of no return, called an event horizon. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics. Under the theory of quantum mechanics black holes possess a temperature and emit Hawking radiation. Despite its invisible interior, a black hole can be observed through its interaction with other matter. A black hole can be inferred by tracking the movement of a group of stars that orbit a region in space. Alternatively, when gas falls into a stellar black hole from a companion star, the gas spirals inward, heating to very high temperatures and emitting large amounts of radiation that can be detected from earthbound and Earth-orbiting telescopes. Astronomers have identified numerous stellar black hole candidates, and have also found evidence of supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies. After observing the motion of nearby stars for 16 years, in 2008 astronomers found compelling evidence that a supermassive black hole of more than 4 million solar masses is located near the Sagi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4650 ...
