Psoriasis is an inflammatory, chronic disorder that affects mainly the skin, always expecting systemic manifestations and distribution. The prevalence of psoriasis is estimated to be near 3% in adult population and industrialized countries. Also considering day to day consultations, it is one of the most frequently presented skin disorders, in which psychological stress and depression represent the key factors regarding the onset, flare or therapeutic resistance of psoriatic disease. We are going to present a review of the scientific literature about the psychological impact in individuals' well-being and further correlation with the severity of this disease. Prevention and further research of skin-psychology connection can guide to a multidisciplinary approach and a more effective treatment of psoriasis patients by treating the individual.

Uncovering the boundary conditions of the association between concerns about falling and physical activity in adult populations: a scoping review protocol.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Human Development and Family Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA.
Introduction: Despite evidence of variation in how concerns about falling influence physical activity, many of the currently available knowledge syntheses merely assume that this relation is uniform across populations and contexts. Therefore, we propose a scoping review protocol to guide a summary of the bodywork that has examined the association between concerns about falling and physical activity in adult populations, with an eye on the availability of empirical evidence of moderation.
Methods And Analyses: Studies reporting on both the concepts of concerns about falling and physical activity among samples with a mean age≥18 years will be included.

Disclosure of such conditions is important to provide social, emotional, medical and mental health support, but veterans may face challenges when deciding whether to disclose conditions, including fear of stigma or discrimination. Safe disclosure in the workplace is particularly important, as it allows employees to gain accommodations and enables employers to manage workplace health and safety effectively.
