Glucose Trnsporter and PEDF in Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing cutaneous immune mediated inflammatory disease(IMID). In which there are skin lesions characterized by erythema, thickness and scale formation with different size from a pinhead to 20 cm in diameter. Prevalence of psoriasis is 2% to 4% worldwide. Psoriasis occurs at any age with two peaks: between 15-20 years and between 55-60 years. Women are presented with psoriasis at younger age than men ,but with less severity. lesions usually present on knee, elbow, scalp and sacral region this may be attributed to higher traumatic incident . Psoriasis vulgaris is the most common type, and accounts 90% of...

Impact of Cannabis on Pain and Inflammation Among Patients With Rheumatoid or Psoriatic Arthritis
This laboratory study will investigate the impact of cannabis on pain, affect, and inflammation among patients with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis (n = 76). Two cannabis formulations will be administered via vaporization (placebo and medium THC [1-5%]/medium CBD [1-5%]) across two experimental sessions using a counter-balanced, double-blind, crossover design.

Impact of Decision-Framing in Psoriasis
Rationale: Shared decision-making models between clinicians and patients are critical to improving healthcare delivery and adherence to medication. One type of model, decision framing, is rarely studied in medicine. Decision framing is the way that a choice is worded. In a clinical context, patient choices can be worded positively, or "gain-framed", to explain the benefits of a therapy or negatively, or "loss-framed", to explain the risks of not taking a therapy. Previous literature suggests that decision-framing can significantly influence patients' decision-making regarding their healthcare. However, a critical gap exists in ...

Impact of Tapering Immunosuppressants on Maintaining Minimal Disease Activity in Adult Subjects With Psoriatic Arthritis
The rationale for this study is to investigate whether in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients in stable remission a reduction or complete discontinuation of immunosuppressive therapy can be achieved in a treat-to-target approach while maintaining in remission. Due to the lack of reliable data that answers the question of how to safely reduce medication in which patients, this study will test a pragmatic treatment algorithm that can be applied in clinical practice and that offers a gradual reduction with escape strategies in order to facilitate the maintenance of remission.

Improved Cardiovascular Health for Patients With Inflammatory Joint Diseases
Inflammatory joint diseases (IJD) are autoimmune diseases with common symptoms of joint inflammation, pain, stiffness and fatigue. Compared to the general population, this large patient-group has an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD-related mortality. Patients with IJD call for improved CVD screening and risk management as well as access to evidence-based non-pharmacological treatment alternatives. Evidence supports high intensity training (HIT) in mitigating risk of CVD and inflammation, but the evidence of these cardioprotective benefits is unclear in patients with IJD and the feasibility of HIT protocols in...

JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway in Pyoderma Gangrenosum
The investigators hypothese that Janus kinase/signal transduction and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway play a key role in pathophysiology of pyoderma gangrenosum (PG). In this study JAK/STAT signaling pathway will be investigated in the skin biopsies of PG patients

Liver Fibrosis and Gut Microbiota in Patients With Psoriasis Vulgaris and Rheumatoid Arthritis on Methotrexate
While methotrexate (MTX) remains a treatment of choice for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), long-term MTX use has been shown to be associated with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in these patients. In addition, gut dysbiosis has been found to be associated with liver fibrosis and cirrhosis via the gut-liver axis, underscoring the potential role of gut microbiota and bacterial translocation in the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases in these patients. In this study, we aim to assess the prevalence of advanced liver fibrosis or cirrhosis among these patients on MTX treatment...

Methotrexate Versus Secukinumab Safety in Psoriasis Patients With Metabolic Syndrome
A prospective, controlled, open trial in psoriasis patients with metabolic syndrome, candidate to methotrexate or secukinumab was conducted between January 2019 and May 2020. The primary end point of the study was investigating any variations in waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine levels between baseline and month-6 and 12 of follow-up.

Modified Intermittent Fasting in Psoriasis
The complexity of psoriasis is partially affected by dietary effects, and some diets have shown to be beneficial in psoriasis. Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve many of these disturbances, even inflammatory parameters such as TNF and CRP. Individuals with psoriasis have been reported to have impaired intestinal integrity and it has been suggested that gut health affects skin health, pointing towards a gut-skin axis. Understanding how dietary lifestyles can affect epithelial lineages such as the skin and gut, will greatly improve our understanding on the development of psoriasis. Modified intermittent fasting (MIF) of 2...
