Evaluation of TWEAK in Plaque Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Patients
Psoriasis vulgaris is associated with significant comorbidity including depression, increased risk of cardiovascular events, diminished quality of life, as well as overall increased mortality. Moreover, concomitant psoriatic arthritis is present in up to 40% of psoriasis patients or will develop in the future. To enhance quality of life and potentially lower the risk of concomitant disease in psoriasis patients, effective treatment of this immune-mediated systemic inflammatory disease is required

Improving Virtual Care of Arthritis: Integrating a Smartphone App Into the EHR for Improved Timeliness of Visits
The overall objective of this proposal is to test version 3.0 of the Arthritis smartphone app in a 12-month interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) design which will allow us to observe possible differences in visit frequency between the pre-and post-intervention periods as well as between the concurrent control group and those who receive the app. Our central hypothesis is that introduction of the app will reduce visit numbers per month in the group receiving the app, compared with a concurrent control group.

Involvement of Pollutants in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis
Introduction Pollution is a significant public health issue. Research has shown a positive correlation between air pollution and chronic inflammatory dermatoses, including psoriasis and eczema. The incidence of these diseases has been steadily increasing since the beginning of industrialization. The mechanism behind this association involves the activation of the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays a role in regulating the balance between T helper 17 (TH17) and regulatory T cells (TREG), as well as in generating oxidative stress and producing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Studies in cultured ...

Koebner's Phenomenon in Psoriasis and Lichen Planus
Psoriasis and lichen planus often occur at mechanically irritated skin sites (e.g. tight clothing). The investigators would like to investigate this phenomenon in more detail in this study. For this purpose, the skin is specifically irritated at a small and cosmetically favorable site by tearing off scotch tape or rubbing with a wooden spatula. In order to be able to examine the inflammatory processes caused by the irritation more closely, a small skin sample and a skin swab are taken from the irritated area. This skin sample and the swab are repeated after three and fourteen days.

Korea Xeljanz Post-marketing Surveillance for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
This study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Xeljanz in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) patients in routine clinical practice in Korea. JIA patients experience persistent joint pain, swelling and stiffness. This is a prospective observational study. Xeljanz is a JAK inhibitor. It was first approved in 2014 for rheumatoid arthritis patients in Korea. The ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea mandates for a drug manufacturer to report the post-marketing surveillance after drug's approval or indication extension. This study is to see the safety and effectiveness of Xeljanz in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis patients...
