Abstract:
The interplay between Psoriatic arthritis and Gout is a current diagnostic challenge faced by many physicians and researchers. We aimed at reviewing the coexistence of gout and its features such as hyperuricemia and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We also focused on a brief presentation of the pathophysiology underneath the interplay between PsA and gout, and ultimately on recommendation of approaches for the differential diagnosis. The literature search for this narrative review was conducted using PubMed and Medline and after retrieving and screening the references, articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Part of the assessed studies reported the coexistence of PsA and gout (Psout) and its association with several clinical outcomes among affected patients. Other studies stressed incidences of misdiagnosis of gout with PsA and vice versa. Additionally, the presence of hyperuricemia in PsA patients could interfere with the patient's characteristics and outcomes of their treatment. Further research on the assessment and clinical course of Psout is required to develop an official protocol for its diagnosis and treatment.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
