Many studies have evaluated the role of individual nutrients on development psoriasis. However, only few investigated effect a healthy eating pattern, such as Mediterranean diet. In this study, we aimed to investigate relationship between adherence diet, body composition and severity psoriasis in group naïve-treatment patients with psoriasis.This is cross-sectional case-control observational study. Sixty-two (49 males 13 females, mean age: 50.2±10.5yrs) affected mild-to-severe were...
Background Psoriasis is a chronic disease which requires long‐term therapy. Therefore, adherence to therapy and patient motivation are key points in controlling the disease. Mobile‐phone‐based interventions, particular text messages (TM), have already been used effectively motivate patients improve treatment many different diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular asthma. Objectives To evaluate use of TM improving several outcomes quality life, severity, patient‐perceived severity...
Obese subjects frequently show skin diseases. However, less attention has been paid to the impact of obesity on disorders until now.The purposes this study are: highlight incidence some dermatoses in obese and water barrier function using transepidermal loss (TEWL).Sixty 20 normal weight volunteers were recruited. group was further divided into three body mass index (BMI) classes: class I (BMI 30-34.9 kg/m(2)), II 35-39.9 kg/m(2)) III 40 g/m(2)). All attended dermatological examination for...
The interleukin (IL)-1 family includes 11 members that are important in inflammatory processes. It various agonists and two antagonists, IL-1Ra IL-36Ra. Our aim was to investigate whether the IL-1 is involved allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). expression of evaluated by PCR immunohistochemistry positive patch test reaction site (involved skin) uninvolved skin ACD patients. We also examined these cytokines an ex vivo model ACD. antagonistic activity IL-36Ra injecting recombinant biopsies...
Obese adult patients have many dermatoses, such as skin tags, candida infection, cellulite, and intertrigo, but only limited data been published on obese children the barrier function of their skin. Sixty-five overweight (n = 40, BMI 85th-95th percentile; n 25, > 95th percentile) (aged 8-15; mean age 11.6) 30 normal-weight controls 7-15; 11.1) underwent a clinical evaluation calculation transepidermal water loss (TEWL). Higher weight percentile was associated with higher incidence some...
Western dietary pattern is included among the environmental factors involved in pathogenesis of psoriasis. Nutritional data collection methods and gender differences might affect association between diet The 7-day food records considered "gold standard" self-administered frequency questionnaires. In this study, we evaluated intake, anthropometric measurements cardio-metabolic risk profile a group psoriatic patients compared with an age Body Mass Index (BMI)-matched control group. addition,...
Obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and psoriasis, largely driven by environmental factors, show multiple bidirectional associations, with important implications in psoriatic patients. Besides body mass index (BMI) as a measure of obesity, data on phase angle (PhA), direct bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), used marker cellular health predictor morbidity mortality various diseases, are still lacking psoriasis. In this case-control, cross-sectional study, we investigated the PhA 180...
relationship with hepatic steatosis, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, insulin resistance.METHODS: Seventy-nine psoriatic patients who were not suffering from any chronic inflammatory disease retrospectively selected for inclusion in this study, their complete medical records accessed.An age-and sex-matched group of 80 non-psoriatic, obese was included as a control.The following relevant data collected: age, sex, weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure,...
