Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease characterized by marked clinical equipoise regarding optimal methods for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. As a result of these challenges, patients with sarcoidosis face substantial delays in care and have reported psychological distress from the uncertainty they face throughout their care journeys. In complex diseases with multisystemic involvement, multidisciplinary care models can help provide diagnostic clarity and streamline care. Although experts and guidelines in the field advocate for multidisciplinary care to improve clinical management of sarcoidosis, there is limited primary literature describing implementation of these care models in sarcoidosis. In this review, we outline best practices and common challenges associated with establishing a multidisciplinary care team for sarcoidosis. We describe the development of the Johns Hopkins Sarcoidosis Center (JHSC) multidisciplinary team as well as the formation of the Johns Hopkins Sarcoidosis patient advisory board, which helps inform the team's goals and initiatives. Finally, we review the broader literature on multidisciplinary care models in sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease, identifying areas for further study.

Current evidence supports risk-based treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with an endothelin receptor antagonist and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor as initial therapy for patients with low- and intermediate-risk PAH, and triple therapy with the addition of a parenteral prostacyclin for patients with high-risk PAH.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are demonstrating increasing promise across clinical applications, but their domain specific knowledge in asthma has not been thoroughly explored. Additionally, state-of-the-art models released in 2025 (ChatGPT-5, ChatGPT-o3, Claude-3.7, DeepSeek-V3, Grok-3) have yet to be studied in asthma.
