Plaque Psoriasis

Statistically significant reductions in erythema, scaling, thickness, and overall target plaque scores were observed in both treatment regimens.

This interview with Dr. Bhatia featured a discussion about his views on newer therapies for dermatologic conditions as well as his outlook on the current research landscape.

In this segment of her interview, Hebert went further in depth about the main points covered in her conference talk regarding new developments in pediatric dermatology.

During the next part of his Q&A interview, Dr. Lebwohl further described new and future research into treating psoriasis.

This Q&A interview with Dr. Lebwohl featured a discussion about which therapies may be the best for patients who have psoriasis.

Alopecia areata patients had higher rates of diseases including psoriasis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis, highlighting the burden of comorbidities on patients in the US.

This research indicates biologics may be safe for women of childbearing age, to whom they are often prescribed, as they pose an acceptable risk to fetuses/neonates.

Early intervention was shown to lead to better clinical responses, results which could translate to long-term improvements in psoriasis and sustained maintenance of response after withdrawal.

In the results of this final analysis, the hidradenitis suppurativa drug was found to be well tolerated in patients regardless of either differing demographics or clinical characteristics.

These 4 treatments and their biosimilars show no significant differences, though future studies may be necessary to assess long-term efficacy and safety of biosimilars in treating psoriasis.

This new research into psoriasis and its systemic effects and comorbidities may be used to identify the mechanisms which affect skin inflammation in a single area and effects on other organs.

Gain-of-function STAT4 variants in patients with disabling pansclerotic morphea suggest a potential therapeutic role for JAK inhibition, resulting in improved clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers.

New prognostic model enhances methotrexate monitoring for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

New data indicating this connection suggests a need for clinicians to take into account cardiovascular examination for patients with both the skin disorder and symptoms suggestive of incident venous thromboembolism.

This research was conducted to identify distinct subgroups of those with atopic dermatitis, and the findings may help to promote better counseling and treatment options.

Those with higher psoriasis severity was associated with a higher improvement in anxiety/depression at the second timepoint.

Recent research from Japan indicates that there are several comorbidities identified for patients with psoriasis, raising awareness of incidental findings in CT analysis.

New data indicates that psoriasis patients who are naïve to biological therapies may benefit from early intervention with secukinumab, though further research is needed.

This research from Japan on the shifting preferences for individuals with psoriasis in the pre and post-pandemic era may indicate the effects of such events on treatment options.

Both gastrointestinal surgery and appendectomies were not associated with any increased risk of psoriasis development in a national cohort.

This study highlighted the strong effects of environmental factors on eczema, especially given the higher prevalence of the skin condition in industrialized countries.

Research into global prevalence rates of autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis and psoriasis highlights important information for future research and medical resource allocation.

New data indicates that increased risk for offspring in developing different disorders is associated with maternal alopecia areata exposure, expanding the available information on alopecia and maternal autoimmunity.

This study examined survival of brodalumab after switching from ixekizumab, providing more information on real-world, non-medical switching for patients with psoriasis.

New data indicates the usefulness of spironolactone as an alternative to oral antibiotics for women in the UK with acne vulgaris, given increasing resistance to antibiotics due to widespread use.
