The frequencies of human lymphocyte antigens (HLAs) A, B, and Cw6 were studied in a group of 212 Greek patients with psoriasis and 202 control subjects. An increased frequency of B13, B16, and Cw6 antigens and a low frequency of B14 were noted in the group of all patients. However, there were striking differences in HLA phenotypes according to the age at onset of the disease. Early onset (less than 25 years of age) was associated with a high frequency of A1, B17, B37, and Cw6 antigens, whereas patients with late onset (greater than 25 years of age) had a significantly lower incidence of A1, B17, and Cw6, which did not differ from that of the control subjects. Patients with onset of the disease greater than 60 years of age had, in addition, an increased frequency of B16. Psoriatic erythroderma was characterized by an increase of Aw19 and a higher frequency of B13 than in the total group of patients with psoriasis. In patients with a familial incidence of the disease, there was no significant association with any particular HLA.

Association of systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with risk of psoriasis: a cross-sectional analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014.
Eur J Med Res

The Department of Pediatrics, The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, 410013, Hunan, China.
Background: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is an emerging marker of inflammation, and the onset of psoriasis is associated with inflammation. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential impact of SII on the incidence rate of adult psoriasis.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014 data sets.
Effectiveness and safety of adalimumab biosimilar in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Servicio de Farmacia, Hospital Universitario La Plana, Castellón, España.
Background: Adalimumab biosimilar MSB11022 (Idacio®) has been approved for the same indications as its originator (Humira®), based on findings from clinical trials in plaque psoriasis. Data on its efficacy and safety in inflammatory bowel disease, however, are scarce.
Methods: Retrospective, observational study of 44 patients with inflammatory bowel disease: 30 were treated with originator adalimumab, five were directly started on MSB11022, and nine switched from originator to biosimilar adalimumab.

Background: Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease primarily treated through molecular-targeted therapies. However, emerging evidence suggests that dietary interventions may also play a role in managing inflammation associated with this condition. The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), prevalent in southern European countries, has been widely recognized for its ability to reduce cardiovascular mortality, largely due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Baricitinib Provides Significant Improvements in Quality of Life and Functioning in Adults with Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis with Baseline Body Surface Area ≤ 40% and Severe Itch.

Introduction: Patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), a body surface area (BSA) of ≤ 40%, and an itch numerical rating scale (NRS) score of ≥ 7 ("BARI itch dominant") have been characterized as an important group to consider for the oral janus kinase (JAK) 1/2 inhibitor baricitinib (BARI). Herein we aim to evaluate quality of life (QoL) and functioning outcomes in adult patients with BSA ≤ 40% and itch NRS ≥ 7 at baseline (BL) who received BARI 4 mg in the topical corticosteroid (TCS) combination trial BREEZE-AD7.
Materials: BREEZE-AD7 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group outpatient study involving adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD who received once-daily placebo or 2-mg or 4-mg BARI in combination with TCS for 16 weeks.
