Health care spending in Italy is high and continues to increase; assessing the long-term health economic outcomes of new therapies essential. Atopic dermatitis (AD) a chronic, pruritic, immune-mediated inflammatory dermatosis, clinical condition that significantly affects patients' quality life at cost requires continuous care. This retrospective study aimed assess direct adverse drug reactions (ADRs) Dupilumab outcomes. All AD patients treated with Sassari University Hospital, Italy,...
Derived inflammatory indexes from routine hematological parameters might be useful for predicting early-response vs. late/non-response to dupilumab, the first biological agent approved moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). We tested this hypothesis by retrospectively investigating association between pre-specified baseline and dupilumab response (≥50% reduction in Eczema Area Severity Index, EASI 50) at 4 16 weeks a consecutive series of 66 AD patients (38 males 28 females). Forty-six...
Background: Psoriatic disease, a chronic immune-mediated systemic inflammatory condition, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. The advent highly targeted biological therapies has transformed treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance selecting most effective and cost-efficient option. Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, demonstrated efficacy safety in treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO). However, long-term real-world data on its effectiveness persistence rate...
While CD4+ T-cells are traditionally regarded as the main pathogenic T-cell subpopulation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), role of circulating CD8+ remains poorly characterized. We evaluated differential representation subpopulations peripheral blood (PB) PsA patients.CD8+IL-17+, CD8+IFNγ+ and CD8+IL-17-IL-22+ were by flow-cytometry 25 consecutive patients, 7 rheumatoid (RA) 16 patients with psoriasis, 26 healthy controls (HC).We observed a significant expansion IFN-γ producing when compared to...

The absence inflammatory bowel disease was confirmed by gastroenterologist. patient under treatment for uveitis unknown origin immunosuppressive doses cyclosporin prednisolone approximately 3...
Dear Editor, We read with interest the correspondence "Complicated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a psoriatic patient treated ixekizumab".1 To improve knowledge of this important topic, we would like to describe experience Dermatology Unit reference university hospital located Sassari, Italy. The COVID-19 epidemic has been causing crisis national healthcare systems worldwide. clinical management patients significantly changed. prescription biologic therapies, which could favor...
