Book Description
The cause of psoriasis is still unknown, though exposure to definite agents (throat streptococcal infection), smoking, alcohol consumption, certain medicines (lithium), and local irritation or injury to the skin may be risk factors for persons genetically predisposed to the disease. Psoriasis symptoms can vary extensively, from mild rashes to severe situations. Treatment consists of various modalities used locally on the skin and taken by mouth. This book gathers and presents information on targeted treatments for psoriasis in four chapters. Following the Introductory chapter, Chapter 2 discusses evaluation of patients with psoriasis and recommended clinical approaches; Chapter 3 presents the etiology, differential diagnosis, clinical findings, and treatment of nail psoriasis; Chapter 4 updates the clinical knowledge on phototherapy for treating psoriatic lesions of the tongue; and Chapter 5 considers potential adverse skin reactions in psoriatic patients taking TNF alpha inhibitors.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
This WHO Global report on psoriasis brings the public health impact of psoriasis into focus. The report is written to help raise awareness of the range of ways that psoriasis can affect peoples' lives. It intends to empower policy-makers with practical solutions to improve the health care and social inclusion of people living with psoriasis in their populations. The report highlights that much of the suffering caused by this common and complex disease can be avoided. Improving access to early diagnosis and appropriate treatment for psoriasis requires universally accessible health-care systems that provide people-centered care for patients with complex, lifelong conditions. Governments also have a key role to play in seeking to address the unnecessary social consequences of psoriasis by the challenging the myths and behaviors that lead to the exclusion of patients from healthcare settings and daily life.

Book Description
Psoriasis, a chronic autoinflammatory skin condition, significantly impacts quality of life. Its prevalence peaks at 2% in Northern countries. Thus, it is imperative to examine what practitioners can discern from psoriatic patients, ranging from the typical chronic plaque psoriasis to other manifestations. Recognizing these signs promptly can bring relief to patients and ensure optimal support. Treatment decisions must strike a balance between benefits and side effects, with patient empowerment being crucial for them to manage their lives effectively. This book offers readers, regardless of their specialty, the chance to view psoriatic patients from a different perspective, acknowledging that these patients require more than just pharmacological interventions.

Book Description
Regional variations in psoriasis patterns are hypothesized to reflect genetic factors contributing to differential immune responses. Such differences can manifest in disease severity, presentation, and treatment response. For example, certain geographic populations may exhibit unique genetic markers associated with specific immune responses, providing insight into the regional manifestations of psoriasis. Variations in environmental exposures, cultural practices, and lifestyle factors, when combined with genetic susceptibility, may further stratify disease expression across different cohorts, offering a multifactorial perspective on the disease. A particular interest lies in understanding how environmental factors, such as UV exposure and humidity, interact with genetic predispositions to influence immune responses. Studies suggest that environmental exposures can amplify or potentially mitigate genetic susceptibility to psoriasis, emphasizing the importance of considering both genetic and environmental factors in deciphering the complexities of psoriasis pathology. 7. Translational Implications: From Genetics to Therapeutics Understanding the immunological mechanisms mediated by genetic factors holds considerable promise for advancing therapeutic options in psoriasis. Targeted biologics that inhibit specific cytokines implicated in the pathogenic processes of psoriasis have transformed the treatment landscape. For instance, biologics targeting IL-17A, IL-23, and TNF-α have demonstrated efficacy in managing moderate to severe psoriasis, providing an avenue for personalized treatment approaches based on individual genetic profiles. Moreover, as research advances, the potential for precision medicine approaches to address the genetic underpinnings of immune dysregulation in psoriasis expands. Identifying specific genotypes predictive of treatment response could lead to more effective interventions, optimizing outcomes for individuals across diverse populations and regions.Regional Variations of Psoriasis - Volume - III
