Background Despite increased understanding of psoriasis pathogenesis, molecular classification of clinical phenotypes and disease severity is poorly defined. Knowledge gaps include whether molecular endotypes of psoriasis underlie distinct clinical phenotypes and the positive and negative molecular regulators of disease severity across tissue compartments.Methods We performed comprehensive RNA sequencing of skin and blood (n = 718) from prospectively-recruited, deeply-phenotyped discovery and re

Background Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that significantly impacts an individual's quality of life, resulting in physical discomfort, psychological distress, and compromised social well-being. However, there is limited understanding regarding the challenges faced by patients in Malaysia. This study examines the lived experiences of patients with psoriasis in Malaysia, focusing on the emotional, social, financial, and treatment-related challenges they face, as well as the copi

Background Psoriasis affects approximately 2% of the global population, with the IL-17A-STAT3 pathway mediating abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and inflammatory amplification. Solanum lyratum (Bai Ying) has long been used for skin disorders, and its steroidal alkaloids have anti-inflammatory potential, though the mechanisms remain unclear.Objective To elucidate the molecular basis and cytological efficacy of S. lyratum steroidal alkaloids in exerting anti-psoriatic effects via the IL-17A/STA

Introduction Treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis typically requires the use of multiple systemic therapies over a patient's lifetime. The efficacy and safety of systemic treatments are typically evaluated in clinical trials; however, patient registries are increasingly used to monitor long-term outcomes of systemic therapies for psoriasis in real-world settings. Psoriasis registries also generate important real-world evidence about psoriasis treatment that may facilitate a greater understa

Objectives To assess the incidence and risk factors for arrhythmias in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Methods We performed a cohort analysis of patients followed prospectively from 1994 to 2024. Participants were evaluated using standard protocols at 6-to-12-month intervals. The following events were assessed: (1) atrial tachyarrhythmia (including atrial fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia); (2) ventricular tachyarrhythmia and (3) bradycardia/pacemaker. The cumulative incidenc

Abstract Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two dermatological diseases that affect the mental health of patients. The purpose of this research is to investigate the comparison of the psychometric characteristics of two groups of patients with psoriasis and atopic dermatitis respectively focusing on depression, personality, hostility and psychosomatic burden. Τhe sample was consisted by 100 patients with psoriasis and 40 patients with atopic dermatitis, respectively. Specific questionnaires we

Dual biologic therapy is not often used in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis due to cost and safety concerns, with limited literature supporting its use. We present a case of a 31-year-old man with severe plaque psoriasis and erosive psoriatic arthritis, refractory to multiple therapies. While guselkumab improved skin symptoms, joint inflammation persisted. Given the patient's reluctance to discontinue guselkumab and his poor response to prior therapies, bimekizumab was added. This combination l

Introduction Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with multiple systemic comorbidities and reduced quality of life. Risankizumab, an interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in achieving rapid and sustained skin clearance in moderate-to-severe psoriasis. However, its impact on chronic subclinical inflammation is less understood. Conventional clinical assessments like Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA), and Body Surfa

Introduction The German national psoriasis registry PsoBest collects long-term data on the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of systemic treatments for psoriatic disease. Here, we describe patient characteristics and the safety and effectiveness of apremilast for the treatment of psoriatic disease in Germany based on data from PsoBest.Methods This was a descriptive analysis of observational data collected from PsoBest using cross-sectional (baseline characteristics) and longitudinal (outco

Background Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with cardiopulmonary comorbidities. Nail psoriasis, quantified by the Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI), is a marker of severe disease. While pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is reported more frequently in psoriasis, the specific correlation between nail psoriasis severity and PAH remains underexplored.Objective To investigate the correlation between NAPSI scores and the presence or severity of PAH in patients with psori

Introduction Nail psoriasis is a common, treatment-refractory manifestation of psoriasis. Smoking is a key environmental factor implicated in nail and articular psoriasis. While smoking's association with cutaneous psoriasis is well-studied, its relationship with nail psoriasis remains less explored.Objective The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of smoking on the severity of nail psoriasis and arthritic psoriasis in patients with nail psoriasis.Methods Data from 1044

Aim The current work highlighted the preparation method of Tanshinone IIA, Glycyrrhetinic acid Emulsion with eutectic (GT-eEmu) and investigated its effectiveness in the internal and external treatment of psoriasis.Materials & methods The optimal prescription ratios of the emulsions were screened based on single-factor and orthogonal experiments, in which the appearance, particle size, centrifugal stability, and placement stability of the emulsion were used as indicators. On this basis, the

Purpose Psoriasis is frequently associated with dyslipidemia, yet the role of specific unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) metabolic pathways in disease pathogenesis and treatment response remains poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the landscape of UFA metabolic reprogramming in psoriasis and evaluate its clinical relevance for predicting response to biologic therapy.Patients and methods We performed an integrated multi-omics analysis incorporating transcriptomic data from human psoria

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated dermatological disorder characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation and persistent inflammation, representing a significant therapeutic challenge. Conventional topical therapies are often limited by inadequate skin penetration, poor drug stability, and systemic toxicity, necessitating the development of advanced drug delivery platforms. Recent progress in colloid and interface science has enabled the design of nanocarrier systems including solid lipid

Background Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that has been increasingly linked to metabolic imbalances, particularly obesity. Conventional anthropometric indicators such as BMI and waist circumference (WC) may not sufficiently capture body fat distribution or reflect metabolic risk. The body roundness index (BRI), which integrates both height and waist measurements, has emerged as a potentially superior metric, though its relevance to psoriasis risk remains underexplored.Objectiv
