[TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE IN DERMATOLOGY- FURTHER PROMOTING PSORIASIS RESEARCH].

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that affects approximately 2-3% of the population worldwide. Translational medicine, which focuses on treating and analyzing diseases caused by translational factors, is becoming increasingly relevant in the field of psoriasis research. This review aims to display the current literature on the role of translational medicine in the treatment and understanding of psoriasis.

Ectopic presentation of hidradenitis suppurativa.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving primarily intertriginous skin areas. Ectopic HS lesions are a reported phenomenon that is not fully understood. We present a case report of a 66-year-old patient with painful symmetric ulcerated plaques on the posterior surface of the ankles and lower lip.

Adult Henoch-Schönlein Purpura: Comprehensive Assessment of Demographic, Clinical, and Histopathological Features as Predictors for Systemic Involvement.

Background: Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a small-vessel IgA-predominant vasculitis. A major challenge in managing adult HSP is the difficulty assessing the risk of systemic involvement. There is currently a paucity of data in this area.

Factors associated with treatment satisfaction in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: results from the Global VOICE project.

Background: Nearly half of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) report dissatisfaction with their treatment. However, factors related to treatment satisfaction have not been explored.

Objectives: To measure associations between treatment satisfaction and clinical and treatment-related characteristics among patients with HS.

Interviewing Women with Hidradenitis Suppurativa-Thematic and Content Analysis.

Objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic autoinflammatory skin disease with a higher prevalence in women. The disease results in a low quality of life as well as physical and psychological comorbidities. The authors sought to determine the effects of HS on women's self-perception and life experiences.

Hidradenitis suppurativa: Evaluating activity patterns and predictors of recalcitrant course-A population-based study.

Background: Epidemiological evidence regarding the course and activity patterns of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is yet to be delineated.

Objective: To identify activity patterns of HS throughout the time axis and to outline predictors of recalcitrant disease course.

Methods: A population-based retrospective cohort study was performed to follow patients with HS (n = 4417) throughout the initial 10 years following their diagnosis.

Phototherapy for Generalized Pruritus of Unknown Origin: Single-Center Experience.

Objective: Phototherapy is a well-established therapy in dermatology. However, there is limited evidence regarding phototherapy for the treatment of generalized pruritus of unknown origin (GPUO). The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy in patients with GPUO.

Skin and soft tissue infections in biological therapy for psoriasis-A case report and systematic review of the literature.

Background: Biological therapies are widely used for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis owing to their high efficacy and safety profile. However, skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) have been reported in association with biological treatment in psoriasis.

Methods: We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis in an 18-year-old psoriasis patient with a history of severe combined immunodeficiency treated with secukinumab and conducted a systematic literature review of SSTIs associated with biological therapy for psoriasis.

Coping with Psoriasis or Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Qualitative Study.

Objective: Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are both chronic inflammatory skin diseases with significant comorbidity. This study aimed to examine how patients with psoriasis or HS cope with their conditions on a personal and psychosocial level, especially in times of clinical exacerbation and symptom deterioration.

Design: This qualitative initial study used the phenomenology model to examine patients' lived experiences through the lens of their disease.

Evaluating patients' unmet needs in hidradenitis suppurativa: Results from the Global Survey Of Impact and Healthcare Needs (VOICE) Project.

Background: A needs assessment for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) will support advancements in multidisciplinary care, treatment, research, advocacy, and philanthropy.

Objective: To evaluate unmet needs from the perspective of HS patients.

Methods: Prospective multinational survey of patients between October 2017 and July 2018.

Healthcare Service Utilization by 116,816 Patients with Atopic Dermatitis in Israel.

Understanding of the epidemiology and healthcare service utilization related to atopic dermatitis is necessary to inform the use of new treatments. This cross-sectional study was based on a group of patients with atopic dermatitis and a matched control group comprised of age- and sex- matched enrolees without atopic dermatitis from a large medical database. Healthcare service utilization usage data were extracted and compared between groups.

Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa: A large-scale population-based study.

Background: The coexistence of psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has been described, but the association between these conditions is yet to be firmly established.

Objective: To study the association between psoriasis and HS by using a large-scale real-life computerized database.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the prevalence of HS among patients with psoriasis with that among age-, sex- and ethnicity-matched control subjects.

Mortality and risk factors among Israeli bullous pemphigoid patients.

There are differences concerning reported mortality rates and prognostic factors of bullous pemphigoid (BP) patients in different studies. Our objectives were to evaluate the mortality rates and prognostic factors among Israeli BP patients compared to matched control subjects. Three age- and sex-matched patients without BP (n = 261) who were treated in our clinic were selected and compared to BP patients (n = 87).

Intraoperative Parathyroid Aspiration and Parathyroid Hormone Assay During Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Background: Direct aspiration from suspected pathological tissue and rapid parathyroid hormone analysis may offer a reliable, cost effective alternative to currently used "gold standard" tests.

Objectives: To validate the accuracy of intraoperative measurements of parathyroid hormone levels in parathyroid adenomas.

Methods: A prospective study included 22 patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy due to an adenoma or hyperplasia.
