Dearest dreamdoc

I am still finding answers to the ones I have listed; Kaplan Q Bank is similar in content, and if one can master Kaplan Q Bank in a timed mode, then, one is really sitting pretty for the examination. My score in Kaplan Q Bank was 72 per cent.

aveolar inflammation is the cause of cough in sarcodosis

copy pasted from a research article in google search:
Pathogenesis
While the pathogenesis of cough in sarcoidosis is unknown, significant airway involvement with parenchymal distortion, endobronchial disease, and extrinsic airway compression is a characteristic of the disease. Small airway involvement detected by the presence of physiologic airflow limitation can be identified in well over half of patients, independent of smoking status, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness to challenge testing can be found in > 50% of patients, depending on the stage of disease.20 Pathologically, granulomatous inflammation is found in and around both the large and small airways, occasionally to the point of obstruction. The presence of airflow limitation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and the anatomic location of inflammation likely plays a critical role in the development of cough.
