Article Synopsis
- PRP (Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris) is a rare skin condition with unclear causes and no established treatment guidelines, making it challenging for healthcare providers.
- A study involving 65 patients, the largest European series on PRP, revealed that it primarily affects men, with an average age of 51, while older patients (average age 61) often present with more severe erythrodermic forms.
- The results showed that most younger patients and non-erythrodermic adults managed their condition with topical corticosteroids, whereas a significant number of erythrodermic patients needed biologic therapy, taking about 6.5 months for a complete response.
Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that affects the skin, with a high impact on patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify and determine the relative importance of unmet needs in the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Spain, from a multi-stakeholder perspective. A mixed method-approach was used to collect information, design a questionnaire and a discrete-choice exercise, and elicit the unmet needs through a multidisciplinary committee composed of 12 experts.

Recent publications about psoriasis and nail psoriatic disease describe different ultrasonographic findings but the relationship between these ungueal alterations measured by ultrasonography and the presence of enthesopathy of the extensor digitorum has yet to be discovered.
Objective: To describe which ultrasonographic characteristics of nail psoriasis are associated with the presence of subclinical enthesopathy in patients with PsO and asymptomatic PsA.
Background: Infantile hemangiomas with minimal or arrested growth (IH-MAGs) are characterized by a proliferative component of <25% of its surface area. The co-occurrence of IH-MAGs and soft tissue anomalies is rare, and case series of this association are lacking.
Objective: We present 10 cases of IH-MAGs associated with soft tissue hypertrophy and describe their clinical features.
