Psoriatic arthritis develops in up to one-third of individuals with psoriasis, typically following a prolonged subclinical phase. Diagnostic delays are common, often exceeding 2 years, and can result in irreversible joint damage. The growing recognition of this latent period has fuelled interest in earlier identification and interception. However, efforts are hampered by inconsistent definitions of early or subclinical psoriatic arthritis, insufficient prognostic tools, and an absence of consens

This study examined relationships between Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS), emotion regulation, coping styles, and psoriasis outcomes in Istanbul, Turkey. Participants included 100 psoriasis patients (ages 25-45) and 107 healthy controls. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Psoriasis patients scored significantly higher on six schemas: Emotional Deprivation, Approval Seeking, Pessimism, Self-Sacrifice, Punitiveness, and Unrelenting Standards (Cohen's d = 0.42-0.89). They also d

Efficacious and well-tolerated systemic, oral treatments for psoriasis are needed. We report preclinical and phase 1c (NCT06808815) results for DC-806, a small molecule interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitor, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate psoriasis. Preclinical results demonstrated DC-806 targets IL-17AA and IL-17AF with secukinumab-like therapeutic efficacy. In the phase 1c trial, 32 patients consented to receive twice daily (BID) doses of placebo or DC-806 (200 mg or 800 mg) for 28 days. No ser

Methods "365 Questions on Psoriasis" was jointly compiled by 109 Chinese psoriasis experts. Using an expert

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
