Diabetes Psoriasis
Women with psoriasis appear to have an increased risk for developing diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure), according to a new article. Continue.....

The skin disease psoriasis is associated with atherosclerosis (a buildup of plaque in the arteries) characterized by an increased prevalence of ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease and an increased risk of death, according to a new article. Continue.....
A new study of psoriasis patients shows that a recently discovered immune cell, called Th17, appears to be a key player in the disease and occurs in far higher concentrations in their skin than occurs in skin of healthy individuals. Scientists compared skin and blood from healthy people to those from patients with psoriasis. After culturing the samples and examining the T helper cells -- immune cells that help coordinate immune response -- Lowes and Krueger found that the healthy subjects had a very small population of Th17 cells in their blood and even fewer in their skin. But while psoriasis patients had a comparable number of Th17 cells in their bloodstream, their skin had as much as three times the number found in normal skin. Continue.....
Green tea could hold promise as a new treatment for skin disorders such as psoriasis and dandruff researchers say. Researchers studied an animal model for inflammatory skin diseases, which are often characterized by patches of dry, red, flaky skin caused by the inflammation and overproduction of skin cells. Those treated with green tea showed slower growth of skin cells and the presence of a gene that regulates the cells' life cycles. Continue.....

People experiencing the skin disease psoriasis may get relief from their symptoms and the psychological distress they can cause through a new web-based therapy program. Continue.....
When the FDA assesses a drug, it looks closely at its safety and its effectiveness, but it doesn't require a precise understanding of how the drug works. A new study shows that a strikingly successful psoriasis drug, etanercept, may not act on the immune cells that scientists had originally believed. In fact, their findings indicate that the disease itself may be partially driven by these recently discovered cells. Continue.....
