Triamcinolone Acetonide Injections in Mild-to-moderate Chronic Plaque Psoriasis With a Novel Needle-free Drug-delivery System
This is an observational pilot study comparing triamcinolone acetonide injections with the investigational Med-jet needle-free drug-delivery system as an alternative to using a conventional syringe and needle in patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis. There will be five (5) visits necessary for study participation. The hypothesis is that the efficacy, safety, pain tolerance, and quality of life (QoL) metrics of the Med-jet needle-free drug-delivery system will be equal to or superior to that of a conventional syringe and needle.

Triamcinolone With Vitamin D Synergistic Efficacy in Psoriasis
These studies are designed to assess the synergistic efficacy of topical 0.1% triamcinolone cream paired with 40,000 IU of oral vitamin D3 daily in treating mild to moderate psoriasis. The study is designed to have all subjects treated with triamcinolone cream (TAC) for 4 weeks, then will be randomized 1:1 into vitamin D3 or placebo for an additional 12 weeks. At that time, the study will become open-label and all subjects will be placed on (or continue) vitamin D3 for an additional 12 weeks. The study will take place over 28 weeks total.

Turmeric Based Therapy in the Treatment of Psoriasis: A Clinical Trial
Psoriasis affects around 4% of world population. The disease could be disabling and disfiguring dermatologic condition. World Health Organization (WHO) has recently drawn the attention to the inadequate treatment options psoriasis patients suffer from among other problems. Furthermore, the available treatment options have many side effects. A lot of the effective treatment options are either expensive or not appropriate for hepatic patients who represent a large subset of Egyptian psoriatic patients. This highlights the need for inexpensive and safe alternative. The effectiveness of Turmeric in psoriasis treatment have been addressed in few...

Ultrasound Enthesitis Response in Psoriatic Arthritis
The aim of this observational study will be to recruit 100 Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) patients beginning on their biologic therapy and asses, both clinically and with the use of ultrasound (US), how enthesitis responds to biologic treatment. The decision to start treatment with a biologic therapy will be made by the patients' usual clinical rheumatology team, as part of their standard clinical care. This is independent of the study. Patients in whom treatment with these drugs for their PsA has been recommended will then be invited to participate in this study.They will then be commenced on biologic therapy at doses in line with the Summary...

Ultrasound in Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment
BACKGROUND Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic inflammatory disease with articular and extra-articular features. Establishing the prognosis of a patient with PsA is hence important to define the treatment strategy. Currently, observational and prospective cohort studies have identified prognostic factors correlating with the achievement of therapeutic response. Nevertheless, despite the importance of identifying prognostic factors in a disease with a functional disability comparable to rheumatoid arthritis, the studies are still limited. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE In PsA with clinically active joint disease starting a new course of therapy, to...

Use of Serum M2BP and MSUS to Predict Arthritis in Psoriatic Patients
Aims of the study: 1. Measurement of serum level of Mac 2 binding protein among patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and subclinical psoriatic arthritis compared with healthy individuals. 2. Evaluation of MSUS findings in patients with PsA and subclinical psoriatic arthritis 3. Evaluation of the role of serum level of Mac 2 binding protein and MSUS in predicting arthritis among psoriatic patients.

Use of the SpiderMass for in Vivo Analysis of the Skin in Five Chronic Inflammatory Dermatosis
The physiological states of the skin are characterized by a certain homeostasis linked to the balance of the metabolic pathways. When these pathways are deregulated, the proteic, lipidic and metabolic is affected. It is thus possible to follow a change in the state of the skin by looking at change in the associated molecular profile. The PRISM laboratory (INSERM U1192) in Lille has developed an innovative system laser called SpiderMass composed of 4 parts: 1. A laser used for the micro-sampling of material in vivo, 2. A transport transfer line of the ablated particles, 3. A mass spectrometer that analyzes them in real time...

Utility of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen (SCCA) in Psoriasis
Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen (SCCA) contributes to the pathogenesis of psoriasis by inhibiting cell apoptosis, exacerbating epidermal hyperplasia and skin inflammation. Three studies have shown a correlation between blood levels of SCCA and the severity of psoriasis. Clinical scores of psoriasis severity are used in consultation to guide treatment of the disease (initiation of systemic therapy, dose escalation) but they suffer from several pitfalls: lack of inter- and intra-observer reproducibility, consumption of medical time. A readily available, inexpensive (24 euros) blood marker could be an interesting alternative to these...
