Sacroiliitis is the inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, the largest axial joint in the human body, contributing to 25% of lower back pain cases. It can be detected using various imaging techniques like radiography, MRI, and CT scans. Treatments range from conservative methods to invasive procedures. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence offer precise detection of this condition through imaging. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to invasive methods like joint injections and surgery. Future management looks promising with advanced imaging, regenerative medicine, and biologic therapies, especially for conditions like ankylosing spondylitis. We conducted a review on sacroiliitis using imaging data from sources like PubMed and Scopus. Only English studies focusing on sacroiliitis’s radiological aspects were included. The findings were organized and presented narratively.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects 15% of the global population and accounts for a significant proportion of gastroenterology referrals. Its symptoms often mimic or overlap with other conditions, leading to diagnostic challenges and increased healthcare costs. Many patients do not seek medical care and may hold misconceptions about the disease’s causes and prognosis. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, perceptions, and expectations of adults in Jordan regarding IBS. The level of knowledge about IBS was calculated as the number of correct answers out of 24 disease-related questions in a questionnaire answered by 1213 people in Jordan. The mean number of correct answers was 9.3/24, females knew slightly more than males least informed age categories were ≥60 and <20. Most informed educational categories had Bachelor’s degree or higher, students. Those with monthly income ≥2100$. Most cited sources of information: internet browsing, specialist, and social media. This study highlights a significant knowledge gap regarding IBS, particularly in its psychological aspects. This contributes to delayed medical consultation, increased emotional distress, reduced productivity, unnecessary strain on healthcare resources, and inadequate management of the condition. Targeted educational interventions, especially through healthcare professionals and reliable digital platforms, are essential to improve public awareness. Age-sensitive and culturally tailored campaigns, along with enhanced doctor−patient communication, could help bridge this gap and improve patient outcomes.
