Prevalence of Nonradiographic Sacroiliitis in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis: A Real-life Observational Study.

Objective: To establish the prevalence of nonradiographic sacroiliitis within a real-life sample of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), using pelvic radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of sacroiliac joints (SIJs).

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 107 consecutive adults with PsA (Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis criteria). Participants completed clinical and laboratory evaluation, pelvic radiographs scored for radiographic sacroiliitis according to the modified New York (mNY) criteria, and noncontrast MRI of SIJs, scored by the Berlin score and categorized into active sacroiliitis using the 2016 Assessment of Spondyloarthritis international Society (ASAS) criteria and the presence of structural sacroiliitis.

Ochrobactrum anthropi-Caused Osteomyelitis in the Foot Mimicking a Bone Tumor: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Osteomyelitis due to Ochrobactrum anthropi, a new genus Ochrobacterum widely distributed in the environment and occasionally associated with human infection, has been described in only a few case reports. We present a report of an unusual case of osteomyelitis caused by O. anthropi that was identified 9 years after a nail puncture to the lateral cuneiform bone.

Utilizing MR enterography for detection of sacroiliitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Background: To assess the feasibility of diagnosing sacroiliitis on MR enterography examinations (MREs) of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: Consecutive MREs performed in 286 biopsy proven IBD patients and 48 controls (2005-2012) were retrospectively reviewed for sacroiliitis. A clinical telephone questionnaire focusing on inflammatory back pain (IBP) was conducted in 165 patients and 41 controls.

Syphilis: an unusual manifestation?

Syphilis is a widely investigated infectious venereal disease with varied presentations frequently mimicking other diseases. It progresses in distinct, well-characterised stages: early (primary and secondary), latent, and late (tertiary), each stage having its own unique presentations. However, there has been increasing evidence of atypical presentations.
