However, there are still unfulfilled gaps resulting from the inherent limitations of existing therapies, which have paved the way for the identification of new therapeutic strategies or the improvement of existing ones.

Although current therapies have dramatically changed the therapeutic approach to the disease, the heterogeneity of responses often results in an essential unmet clinical need. This study describes the design and development of the Psoriasis Registry (Pso-Reg), an Italian electronic-based-registry, aimed to collect real life data of patients with psoriasis.

Background: The aim of this observational study is to assess pre- and postoperative retinochoroidal vascular changes in patients undergoing epiretinal macular membrane (ERM) surgery by using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).

Materials And Methods: 23 eyes affected by ERM and those which underwent phacovitrectomy associated with ERM peeling were enrolled. They were evaluated using structural OCT and OCTA before surgery and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively.
