In this double-blind study, 100 patients with mild, moderate, or severe thick lesion psoriasis, characterized as acute, subacute, or chronic, were treated with either diflorasone diacetate ointment 0.05% or betamethasone dipropionate ointment 0.05% twice a day for 3 weeks. Clinical evaluations were based on overall improvement and improvement in signs or symptoms of erythema, oedema, lichenification, induration, scaliness, excoriations, pruritus, and soreness. Results showed that both medications were effective and when patients were categorized according to initial lesion severity no statistically significant differences existed between treatment groups.

Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a prevalent condition in adults, significantly affecting the global elderly population, with a higher incidence in women than in men. The modulation of gene expression through microRNA (miRNA) partly regulated the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous research identified a functional analysis of seven genes (CDS2, HDAC5, PPP6R2, PRRC2B, TBC1D22A, WNK1, and PABPC3) as targets of miRNAs related to CVD.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is among the most common liver pathologies, however, none approved condition-specific therapy yet exists. The present study introduces a drug repositioning (DR) approach that combines steatosis models with a network-based computational platform, constructed upon genomic data from diseased liver biopsies and compound-treated cell lines, to propose effectively repositioned therapeutic compounds. The introduced approach screened 20'000 compounds, while complementary and proteomic assays were developed to test the efficacy of the 46 predictions.
