Psoriatic arthritis is a significant medical condition with a high prevalence, a wide variety of non-specific symptoms, and a high degree of overlap with other spondylarthritis disorders, particularly ankylosing spondylitis. Hence, knowledge of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations and a multidisciplinary strategy are required for the better management of these patients. We searched publications from the last 10 years and focused on the most relevant ones which discussed the classification criteria, the MRI characteristics of axial psoriatic arthritis, the importance of MRI for follow up, and the reliability of skin and synovial biopsy. Axial spondylarthritis can be diagnosed and followed up on using the well-established MRI technique and, additionally, a biopsy. The analysis and concordance between them can provide new directions for future studies.

Background: Due to the aging process and the associated psychiatric pathology, the decrease in visual acuity, anemia, muscle atrophy and the decrease in bone resistance, the most common mechanism of hip fracture production is represented by falling from the same level. Early diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric diseases can reduce the occurrence of hip fractures through proper care of patients in different centers under the strict supervision of qualified personnel. Objectives: Assessment of pain, measurement of locomotion capacity after surgery, quality of life and life expectancy in patients with dementia and hip fractures surgically or functionally treated. Evaluation of the patient's well-being and prognosis after specific types of osteosynthesis and hip arthroplasty. Results: During one year, 520 patients with hip fractures presented themselves at the EU, of which 66 presented both pathologies. The mortality rate seemed to be lower in patients that underwent surgery, compared to those who chose functional treatment. However, treatment decisions require a multidisciplinary team and individualized recommendations for each patient, due to high surgical risk in the elderly.
