Introduction: Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by T-cell-mediated hyperproliferation of the keratinocytes. It develops through immune-mediated mechanisms and is defined as an immune-mediated inflammatory disease. The inner ear is susceptible to inflammatory attacks, and vertigo and dizziness can occur as a complication. There is little information about psoriasis and the vestibular system.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) results of psoriasis patients and the effect of psoriasis on the vestibular system.
Materials And Methods: Randomly selected and included in the study were patients who had been admitted to the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic of the Afyon Kocatepe University Medical Faculty, between November 15, 2017, and March 15, 2018, with the diagnosis of psoriasis, in addition to a healthy control group. This research was designed as cross-sectional study. Ethics committee permission was received. Both cVEMP and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) tests were administered to all of the participants. Values were compared between the control group and psoriasis patients.
Results: The study included 43 psoriasis patients and 40 controls. The duration of treatment of the patients and the drugs that they were using were noted. The psoriasis patients had lower p13-n23 amplitude differences in their cVEMP tests ( < .05). These patients also had lower signal to noise ratio values, at 4 and 6 kHz, on their DPOAE tests ( < .05).
Conclusion: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that can be associated with vestibulocochlear dysfunction.

Eruption of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Following Initiation of Adalimumab for Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Case Report.
Cureus

Dermatology, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, Temple University, Philadelphia, USA.
Rarely, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors can paradoxically induce eruptions of psoriasis with generalized pustular psoriasis being among the least common presentations. We report a patient who presented with a generalized pustular eruption following adalimumab therapy for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The diagnosis of generalized pustular psoriasis was confirmed with a biopsy showing neutrophilic spongiosis and intraepidermal pustulosis.

Department of Dermatology and Venerology, CHU of Sart Tilman, University of Liège B-4000, Liège, Belgium.
Background: Biological therapies, including TNF-alpha, IL12/23, IL17 and IL23 antagonists, adequately control a very high number of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis with an excellent long-term safety profile. However, on occasion, patients on biological therapy with stabilized disease or complete remission report episodes of sudden breakthrough psoriasis.
Aim: To study prospectively in a monocentric tertiary setting, the clinical characteristics of patients presenting a sudden breakthrough psoriasis although completely stabilized (PASI 90-100) under biological therapy.
Weight-Adjusted Waist Index, Psoriasis, and All-Cause Mortality: Findings from the NHANES 2003-2006 and 2009-2014.

Department of Dermatology, The Second School of Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital and Yuying Children's Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Psoriasis is associated with obesity, which in turn is linked to increased mortality risk. Therefore, we undertook a cohort study utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to examine the impact of weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) on the likelihood of all-cause mortality in psoriasis individuals.
Patients And Methods: This study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to investigate the influence of WWI on the probability of all-cause mortality in psoriasis individuals.
Proteomic Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Exosomes in Psoriasis.

Shanxi Key Laboratory of Stem Cells for Immunological Dermatosis, Institute of Dermatology, Department of Dermatology, Taiyuan Central Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, China.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the unique proteins in exosomes from mesenchymal stem cells derived from psoriatic lesions and compare them with those from healthy human skin. It seeks to identify potential regulatory factors that may influence the differential effects observed in these exosomes.
Methods: Dermal mesenchymal stem cell exosomes were isolated from healthy human skin (HDMSCs-EXO) and psoriatic lesion of patient (PDMSCs-EXO).
Low apolipoprotein A1 and high apolipoprotein B levels indicate specific lipid changes in treatment naïve early psoriatic arthritis.

Objectives: To investigate serum lipid profile in early, treatment-naïve psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to determine whether changes in classical lipids or apolipoproteins are specific to PsA.
Methods: Total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), HDL-c, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) were compared in newly diagnosed untreated PsA patients (n=75) to sex- and age-matched controls (healthy control (HC)) (n=61) and early untreated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (n=50).
Results: Among classical lipid measurements, HDL-c levels were lower in PsA than in HC and RA (df 2, χ10, p=0.
