Article Abstract
Sleep disturbance (SD) in the second half of the night due to inflammatory pain was included in the 2009 ASAS classification criteria of Spondyloarthritis (SpA), even though its definition is uncertain. We aimed to investigate SD in early-SpA (e-SpA) patients at T1 (2010-2013), comparing them to long-term SpA (l-SpA) patients at T2 (2023-2024) after at least 10 years of follow-up. At T1, in e-SpA and l-SpA cases, SD, classified as "difficulty in initiating sleep" (DIS), "difficulty in maintaining sleep" (DMS) and "early awakening" (EA), was compared to clinical parameters (ASDAS-CRP, BASDAI, m-HAQ-S, BASMI, MASES, 68/66 joint count, tenderness of sacroiliac joints, fatigue [FACIT] and HADS for anxiety [A] and depression [D]). At T2, e-SpA patients were re-evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). At T1, 45% of 166 SpA patients had SD; in e-SpA patients (60), SD correlated with sacroiliac pain (DMS) BASDAI, FACIT and HADS-D (EA); in l-SpA patients (106), it correlated with HADS-A (DIS), BASDAI and FACIT (DMS). At T2, e-SpA patients showed a high PSQI in 51.5% of cases, correlated with T2-ASDAS-CRP and T2-BASDAI. Moreover, T1-ASDAS-CRP was predictive of T2-PSQI. SD is more specific for inflammatory pain in e-SpA and might be influenced by disease activity also in long-term disease.

Purpose: Blood cultures (BC) are the gold standard for bacteremia detection despite a relatively low diagnostic yield and high costs. A retrospective study reported high predictive values for BC positivity when combining the clinical Shapiro score with procalcitonin (PCT).
Methods: Single-center, prospective cohort study between 01/2016 and 02/2017 to validate SPA algorithm, including a modified Shapiro score ≥ 3 points (S) PLUS admission PCT > 0.
Molecular Epidemiology of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria Isolated from Libyan and Syrian Patients with War Injuries in Two Bundeswehr Hospitals in Germany.

Introduction: We assessed the molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant bacteria colonizing or infecting war-injured patients from Libya and Syria who were treated at the Bundeswehr hospitals Hamburg and Westerstede, Germany.
Methods: Enterobacteriaceae and Gram-negative rod-shaped nonfermentative bacteria with resistance against third-generation methoxyimino cephalosporins or carbapenems as well as methicillin-resistant (MRSA) from war-injured patients from Libya and Syria were assessed by molecular typing, i.e.
'Ectopic' suprasellar type IIa PRL-secreting pituitary adenoma.

Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, 79 Qingchun Road, Hangzhou, 310003, China.
Background: Ectopic pituitary adenomas (EPAs) are rare, and the suprasellar cistern seems to be the most common location. At this time, no detailed original classification, diagnosis, or treatment protocols for suprasellar pituitary adenomas (SPAs) have been described.
Case Description: A 19-year-old man showed visual disturbances and lack of libido for 3 years, he suffered a sharp decline in vision with only light perception in the last week.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the persistence of an antibody response 1.5 years after vaccination with 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondyloarthropathy (SpA) treated with different antirheumatic drugs.
Methods: Of 505 patients initially recruited, data on current antirheumatic treatment and blood samples were obtained from 398 (79%) subjects after mean (SD, range) 1.
