There is growing evidence that supports a role of gut dysbiosis in the pathogenesis of psoriasis (Pso). Thus, probiotic supplementation and fecal microbiota transplantation may serve as promising preventive and therapeutic strategies for patients with Pso. One of the basic mechanisms through which the gut microbiota interacts with the host is through bacteria-derived metabolites, usually intermediate or end products produced by microbial metabolism. In this study, we provide an up-to-date review of the most recent literature on microbial-derived metabolites and highlight their roles in the immune system, with a special focus on Pso and one of its most common comorbidities, psoriatic arthritis.

Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) significantly contributes to increased morbidity, reduced life expectancy, and higher healthcare costs due to the burden of comorbidities. This study assessed the prevalence of comorbidities in PsA patients in India and explored the influence of age and disease duration on these comorbidities.
Methods: The prospective, multicenter observational study was conducted across seven centers in India, utilizing data from the Indian Rheumatology Association.

Background: Biologics are recommended for use in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) after the failure of conventional systemic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs). However, compared to csDMARDs, biologics are significantly more expensive. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of biologic treatments for active PsA patients who have failed treatment with csDMARDs, from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system.

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.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) presents various clinical manifestations, including skin lesions, peripheral arthritis, axial involvement, enthesitis, nail involvement, dactylitis, and uveitis. In addition, it causes a high incidence of lifestyle-related diseases and an increase in cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events. As the pathology of PsA has been clarified, molecular-targeted drugs targeting tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-17A/F, IL-17 receptor, IL-12/23(p40), IL-23p19, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4), Janus kinase, and phosphodiesterase-4 have been developed and are widely used in clinical practice.
