Case report and literature review: Fabry disease misdiagnosing as polymyalgia rheumatica.
The clinical manifestations of Fabry disease affect the nerves, kidneys, heart, skin, gastrointestinal tract and eyes. Our aim is to familiarize people with the FD diagnostic process by reporting this case. ⋯ FD is a rare disease and difficult to diagnose, but rare does not mean invisible. FD may present with signs and symptoms of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatologists should be aware and concerned about this disease.

Psoriasis vulgaris is complicated with metabolic syndrome and other diseases, which affects the longevity of patients. Its repeated attacks bring obvious and long-term treatment burden to patients, and improper self-management can aggravate disease symptoms and increase the risk of complications. To summarize the existing evidence on the self-management of psoriasis vulgaris treatment burden. ⋯ Finally, we present 34 items of best evidence. This study provides the basis for the management of treatment burden of psoriasis vulgaris. According to this study, medical workers guide patient to reduce the disease and treatment burden.

The U. S. military invests substantial resources to vaccinate all personnel, including recruits, against operationally important infectious disease threats. However, research suggests that vaccine immune response and, therefore, vaccine effectiveness may be inadvertently reduced because of chronic and/or acute sleep deficiency experienced by recipients around the time of vaccination. ⋯ Specifically, research should be aimed at understanding the effects of sleep deficiency, as well as vaccine administration schedules, on response to vaccination and clinical protection. Furthermore, knowledge gaps among military medical leadership on sleep, vaccines, and immune health should be assessed. This area of research may benefit the health and readiness of service members while also decreasing health care utilization and associated costs from illness.
