Background: Despite the autoimmune nature of psoriasis, the potential association between psoriasis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains underexplored.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 117 patients with psoriasis was conducted, excluding those without chest imaging prior to methotrexate or biologic use and those with other comorbidities leading to ILD.

Article Synopsis
  • This prospective cohort study investigated factors that lead to Sever's disease in junior gymnasts, analyzing 74 limbs from 37 athletes over six months.
  • The evaluation included demographic data, flexibility, foot alignment, trunk function, and balance tests to assess the incidence of the disease.
  • Findings indicated that gymnasts with Sever's disease had lower arch height ratios and balance scores, suggesting that preventive measures like arch supports and balance training could be beneficial.
