Purpose Of Review: It is now 50 years since the concept of spondyloarthritis was introduced by Moll, Wright and co-authors from Leeds, UK. This review will review the original concept and mark significant milestones over the last 50 years while looking ahead to developments in the future.
Recent Findings: While the diseases included under this rubric in the original description may have changed the core conditions remain and are still characterized by axial inflammation as a common feature. Imaging, animal models, genetics and immunology have contributed to our knowledge of the pathogenesis and classification of these diseases and have led to the development of more effective treatments.
Summary: Future developments, facilitated by large research consortia, will help build on our current knowledge and will help clarify disease heterogeneity and provide insights into new therapeutic pathways.

Background And Objectives: This paper aims to add to the literature on successful ageing in minoritized ethnic groups. Concurring with the critiques of 'successful ageing' for focusing on values and abilities more attainable by white middle-class older people, it explores alternative discourses according to which older people from minoritized groups consider themselves to be 'ageing well'.
Research Design And Methods: The paper draws on original empirical material derived from a longitudinal research project focused on five minority ethnic groups living in a city (and surrounding areas) of the UK known for its diverse population.

Purpose: This review aims to investigate the effectiveness of nurse-led preoperative visits for the reduction of presurgical anxiety. The review will explore the patterns and mechanisms through which these visits alleviate anxiety, identify the existing practice gaps, and suggest future directions for improvement. The findings will help health care providers choose appropriate visits for their patients.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and biliary tract cancers (BTC) pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and multiphase computed tomography (CT) have been the preferred imaging modalities for diagnosis, staging, and surveillance of patients with these malignancies. The best clinical outcomes depend on the appropriate selection of treatment options from the tools available in neo-adjuvant therapy, surgical resection, locoregional therapy, liver transplantation, and adjuvant therapy.

Background: The rapid growth of the global aging population highlights the need to address ageism and promote social inclusiveness. While considerable research has explored the impact of perceived ageism on older adults' mental health, limited attention has been given to how negative mental health factors-such as depression, anxiety, and stress (DAS)-influence ageist attitudes among younger populations, along with the psychological mechanisms underlying this relationship.
Purpose: This study first investigates the prevalence of ageism among undergraduates and its variation across certain socio-demographic factors at the research site.

Background And Objectives: Research to identify fetal predictors of infant mortality among singletons born in the United States (US) concludes that poorly understood and unmeasured "confounders" produce a spurious association between fetal size and infant death. We argue that these confounders include Vanishing Twin Syndrome (VTS)-the clinical manifestation of selection against frail male twins . We test our argument in 276 monthly conception cohorts conceived in the US from January 1995 through December 2017.
