Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, there has been increasing recognition of psoriatic arthritis as a distinct clinical entity. Psoriatic arthritis occurs mostly in patients with psoriasis and may affect up to 1% of the general population. It has many similarities to other forms of spondyloarthritis, and must be differentiated from related conditions. Given that most patients with psoriatic arthritis have skin and musculoskeletal diseases that significantly affect their quality of life and function, patients are ideally managed in a multidisciplinary clinic with rheumatologists, dermatologists and a nurse specialist, physical therapist and occupational therapist. Psoriatic Arthritis covers the epidemiology and diagnostic and classification criteria, describing the clinical features of the disease, including skin and nail involvement, articular, and other extra-articular manifestations. Laboratory features and imaging characteristics are covered in detail, along with co-morbidities and their impact. A comprehensive review of skin disease therapy is also provided, along with the various treatment options for joint disease, including traditional disease modifying therapy and newer biologic agents . This comprehensive yet concise and practical volume is the perfect guide to psoriatic arthritis for the busy practitioner, and will be of interest to trainees and specialists in rheumatology and dermatology.

Itch: Mechanisms and Treatment presents a timely update on all aspects of itch research and the clinical treatment of itch that accompanies many dermatological conditions including psoriasis, neuropathic itch, cutaneous t-cells lymphomas, and systemic diseases such as kidney and liver disease and cancer. Composed of contributions from distinguished researchers around the world, the book explores topics such as: Neuropathic itch Peripheral neuronal mechanism of itch The role of PAR-2 in neuroimmune communication and itch Mrgprs as itch receptors The role of interleukin-31 and oncostatin M in itch and neuroimmune communication Spinal coding of itch and pain Spinal microcircuits and the regulation of itch Examining new findings on cellular and molecular mechanisms, the book is a compendium of the most current research on itch, its prevalence in society, and the problems associated with treatment.

Download or read book Psoriasis Relief Handbook written by Noah Daniels and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctors that deal with psoriasis on a daily or weekly basis may not sit down and discuss the disease at length with their patients. Getting information on the internet is not always easy to do, and varies from the very hopeful to the very discouraging. Since psoriasis is such a complex disease, one or two web pages can easily give the wrong impression. One web page has a case history of someone whose symptoms disappeared with three treatments, and have not returned for eight years and counting. Another website has a person that has fought their symptoms for several years, and those symptoms have not responded to any treatment. It is important to get a balanced view of this complex disease. This ebook was made for everyone who wants or needs to know about all the aspects of psoriasis. It was written for people who know very little about the disease, through people who want up to date information about the current treatments. It covers all the different types of symptoms of psoriasis, and how each is treated. It has been a wealth of information for anyone who has just been diagnosed, and has offered help and hope for those that have suffered with psoriasis for years. People with psoriasis not only suffer from the physical symptoms of the disease, but also have to deal with a very different change in their appearance.
