    Abstract Objective: To assess the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and its possible association with clinical and analytical parameters of the disease.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 38 consecutive patients with pSS were compared with 38 age and sex healthy controls. Demographic variables and classic cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs): Hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and smoking habit were assessed in both groups, and also disease-related features were collected in pSS group. The presence of subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed by carotid ultrasound, with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurement and determination of the presence of atheromatous plaques.
    Results: Subclinical atherosclerosis presence was remarkably greater in patients with pSS than in healthy controls (OR = 4.17, 95%CI [1.27-16.54]), as well as CIMT values (0.79 ± 0.43mm vs. 0.66 ± 0.27mm; P = .02). No differences for classic CVRFs were found between both groups. An association of subclinical atherosclerosis with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and rheumatoid factor (RF) was observed in patients with pSS.
    Conclusion: This cohort showed a greater prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with pSS, indicating this disease as an independent risk factor for presence of early vascular damage.

    Abstract Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) is an inflammatory arthritis produced by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in the synovium and periarticular soft tissues. It is the third most common inflammatory arthritis. Diagnosis is suspected on the basis of the clinical picture and radiographic/laboratory findings. The reference standard for the diagnosis of CPPD is based on the identification of CPP crystals in synovial fluid by light microscopy, compensated polarized light microscopy, or phase contrast microscopy. Most treatment approaches for CPPD are based upon clinical experience and not upon controlled trials. They range - depending on the subtype and the characteristics of symptoms - from no treatment to interleukin-1 blockade antibodies or specific therapy for an underlying disease. This review summarizes all we know so far about the diagnosis and management of CPPD.

    Abstract Objective: To assess drug survival and the reasons for switching anti-TNF-α therapy in SpA patients in a Spanish nationwide study.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed. Sample size was calculated to represent all regions and hospitals throughout the country. Demographic data, patient characteristics and disease activity parameters were obtained. Drug survival and reasons for switching anti-TNF therapy were also recorded.
    Results: A total of 467 SpA patients receiving at least one anti-TNF agent were identified. Among patients who received a first, second and third anti-TNF course, 39.4%, 37.4% and 23.1% discontinued treatment, respectively. The main reasons for switching anti-TNF agents in the first course were lack or loss of efficacy (LOE) and adverse events (AEs) in 40% and 30% of switchers, respectively. Similarly, reasons for switching during the second anti-TNF course were LOE in 48% and AEs in 28% of switchers. Of the 467 SpA patients starting anti-TNF therapy, 28% switched to a second and 8% switched to a third therapy. Mean drug survival for the first, second and third anti-TNF courses were 84.4 (95% CI 78.4, 90.5), 70.2 (95% CI 61.6, 78.9) and 64.8 (95% CI 51.1, 78.5) months, respectively (P = 0.315).
    Conclusion: Twenty-eight per cent of SpA patients starting anti-TNF therapy switched to a second anti-TNF agent. Drug survival did not differ among anti-TNF courses. The main reason for switching anti-TNF therapy was LOE. Switchers were more frequently women and had higher disease activity parameters at the time of the study than non-switchers.

    Abstract The implementation of bioreactor systems for the production of bacterial inoculants as biofertilizers has become very important in recent decades. However, it is essential to know the bacterial growth optimal conditions to optimize the production and efficiency of bioinoculants. The aim of this work was to identify the best nutriment and mixing conditions to improve the specific cell growth rates (µ) of two PGPB (plant growth-promoting bacteria) rhizobial strains at the bioreactor level. For this purpose, the strains

    Abstract Introduction: The extensive use of chemical fertilizers has served as a response to the increasing need for crop production in recent decades. While it addresses the demand for food, it has resulted in a decline in crop productivity and a heightened negative environmental impact. In contrast, plant probiotic bacteria (PPB) offer a promising alternative to mitigate the negative consequences of chemical fertilizers. PPB can enhance nutrient availability, promote plant growth, and improve nutrient uptake efficiency, thereby reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers.

    Abstract Objective: Recent data published on biological therapy in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) since the last publication of the recommendations of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology (SER) has led to the generation of a review of these recommendations based on the best possible evidence. These recommendations should be a reference for rheumatologists and those involved in the treatment of patients with axSpA.
    Methods: Recommendations were drawn up following a nominal group methodology and based on systematic reviews. The level of evidence and grade of recommendation were classified according to the model proposed by the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford. The level of agreement was established through the Delphi technique.
    Results: In this review, we did an update of the evaluation of disease activity and treatment objectives. We included the new drugs with approved therapeutic indication for axSpA. We reviewed both the predictive factors of the therapeutic response and progression of radiographic damage. Finally, we drafted some recommendations for the treatment of patients refractory to anti-tumor necrosis factor, as well as for the possible optimization of biological therapy. The document also includes a table of recommendations and a treatment algorithm.
    Conclusions: We present an update of the SER recommendations for the use of biological therapy in patients with axSpA.

    Abstract Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic, complex multisystem vasculitis of unknown cause characterised for its ability to involve blood vessels of all sizes on both the arterial and venous sides of the circulation. It has been suggested that TNF-alpha plays a main role in the pathogenesis of BD. This hypothesis is supported by the efficacy of TNF-blocking antibodies in these patients, which have been shown to be very powerful in the induction of remission and as maintenance treatment on different BD manifestations, including severe vascular involvement. However, little is known about when and how to stop IFX after long-standing complete remission of these patients to avoid relapses. We describe a case of BD without previous vascular involvement that developed myocardial infarction and severe venous thromboses only four months after discontinuation of infliximab (IFX) after more than three years of complete remission. The patient did not respond to corticosteroids and intravenous cyclophosphamide and only recovered completely after reintroducing IFX.

    Abstract Microorganisms in extreme volcanic environments play an important role in the development of plants on newly exposed substrates. In this work, we studied the structure and diversity of a bacterial community associated to Andropogon glomeratus and Cheilanthes aemula at El Chichón volcano. The genetic diversity of the strains was revealed by genomic fingerprints and by 16S rDNA gene sequencing. Furthermore, a metagenomic analysis of the rhizosphere samples was carried out for pioneer plants growing inside and outside the volcano. Multifunctional biochemical tests and plant inoculation assays were evaluated to determine their potential as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Through metagenomic analysis, a total of 33 bacterial phyla were identified from A. glomeratus and C. aemula rhizosphere samples collected inside the volcano, and outside the volcano 23 bacterial phyla were identified. For both rhizosphere samples, proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum. With a cultivable approach, 174 bacterial strains were isolated from the rhizosphere and tissue of plants growing outside the volcanic complex. Isolates were classified within the genera Acinetobacter, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Burkholderia, Cupriavidus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Lysinibacillus, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Stenotrophomonas and Pandoraea. The evaluated strains were able to produce indole compounds, solubilize phosphate, synthesize siderophores, showed ACC deaminase and nitrogenase activity, and they had a positive effect on the growth and development of Capsicum chinense. The wide diversity of bacteria associated to pioneer plants at El Chichón volcano with PGPB qualities represent an alternative for the recovery of eroded environments, and they can be used efficiently as biofertilizers for agricultural crops growing under adverse conditions.
