From the Skin to Distant Sites: T Cells in Psoriatic Disease

Eva Reali, Davide Ferrari

Summary: Human skin acts as a protective organ with a complex architecture hosting various immune and non-immune cells that play crucial roles in immunological processes. Dysregulated or excessive immune responses can lead to autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis. Understanding the mechanisms of psoriasis is important for developing targeted treatments and preventing severe systemic conditions.

Factors associated with high cardiovascular risk in psoriatic arthritis and non-psoriatic spondyloarthritis

Chengappa Kavadichanda, K. C. Shanoj, Sachit Ganapathy, Sanket Shah, Ramesh Ananthakrishnan, Jayprakash Sahoo, Vir Singh Negi

Summary: This study identified the association between traditional cardiovascular risk factors, diseases related factors, body composition, and adipokines with high cardiovascular risk in patients with psoriatic arthritis and non-psoriatic spondyloarthritis. The presence of sarcopenia and any traditional cardiovascular comorbidity were associated with high cardiovascular risk. Non-psoriatic spondyloarthritis patients had a lower chance of having high cardiovascular risk compared to psoriatic arthritis patients. Adipokine levels correlated with body composition but not with high cardiovascular risk. Sarcopenia was found to be an important determinant of high cardiovascular risk, possibly due to ectopic adipose tissue deposition in skeletal muscles. Physical therapy targeting sarcopenia, optimal treatment of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and adequate disease control may help prevent atherosclerosis in spondyloarthritis.
