Book excerpt: Practical and user-friendly, this is the ideal guide to the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis, helping you navigate a logical management pathway through a complex maze of possibilities. Psoriasis is a cruel disease that can seriously affect the sufferer’s quality and length of life.

In full color throughout and excellently illustrated, key highlights include: easily understandable description of the psoriasis pathogenesis; a strong emphasis on the clinical features of psoriasis; careful consideration of comorbid conditions as part of the psoriatic spectrum to be managed; coverage of both traditional and contemporary management approaches; plenty of diagnostic algorithms and management protocols to aid the daily practical care of patients.

Download or read book Comorbidity in Rheumatic Diseases written by Yasser El Miedany and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores comorbidity in patients with rheumatic diseases and details both care and treatment options in standard clinical practice. Patients with rheumatic diseases are clinically complex, and the interplay of their disease activity with associated conditions may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Recently there have been major advances in the management of rheumatic diseases, however, without addressing the potential comorbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease; pulmonary disease; and depression; outcomes remain poor. With its 19 chapters, covering the management of major rheumatic diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus , and osteoarthritis), potential comorbidities and treatment recommendations, as well as possible interactions between conditions; this book addresses the gap between textbook medicine and day to day patients' care. Authors also discuss the new hot issue of the comorbidity index, comparing the standard tools to the recently developed indices and how they can assist the rheumatologists in determining disease burden, prognosis, and comorbidity probability. This book is an ideal clinical guide and reference that enables rheumatologists, internal medicine physicians, and residents to address the full clinical expression of these rheumatic diseases with views towards prevention or early management of comorbid conditions.

Download or read book Regional Variations of Psoriasis Volume II written by Professor Dr. Bilal Semih Bozdemir and published by Professor Dr. Bilal Semih Bozdemir. This book was released on with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous genetic loci associated with psoriasis, revealing a complex interplay between genetic architecture and immunological mechanisms. Many identified loci are involved in immune pathways, reinforcing the linkage between genetic predisposing variants and immune dysregulation. Notably, loci that harbor variants influencing key immunological pathways, including Th17 and IL-23 signaling pathways, are particularly prominent among patients with psoriasis. These findings not only underscore the role of specific gene variants in influencing immune responses but also highlight the potential for targeted therapies that address these genetic predispositions. By understanding the genetic landscape underpinning immune dysregulation, clinicians can develop more effective treatment strategies tailored to individual genetic profiles and regional patterns of psoriasis.
