Abstract:
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem chronic inflammatory disease predominantly affecting the lungs. Myositis as a presenting manifestation of sarcoidosis is extremely uncommon and seldom reported. Here we report a 20-year-old male who presented with bilateral calf pain for six months. On evaluation magnetic resonance imaging showed features of myositis, and muscle biopsy was suggestive of sarcoidosis with granulomatous vasculitis. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan revealed involvement of spleen in addition to the muscles. Patient was managed with corticosteroids and azathioprine, and showed good treatment response.

The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
