Light It Up Up Up: Phototherapy Is Still a Big Fish In The Sea of Therapeutic Options for Psoriasis
Let’s face it, we are faced (redundancy…on purpose) with almost too many therapeutic options for the management of plaque Psoriasis. Absolutely a good problem to have, even better for our patients, but it can also be the source of a management riddle: Erythema isn’t always red, Nevi can be blue, with all of these systemic agents, should you be using phototherapy too? Yes, simply yes. Tune in as JDD Podcast host Dr. Adam Friedman gets to these burning questions with renaissance dermatologist Dr. Peter Lio. With all the great practical information highLIGHTed, this podcast will certainly brighten your day.
What Women Don’t Want … Psoriasis
In this edition of the JDD Podcast, Dr. Adam Friedman is joined by Dr. Deirdre Hooper, Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Dermatology at both Louisiana State University and Tulane University, to discuss her article “Impact of Psoriasis on Women” in the September 2019 issue of the JDD on the unique considerations for the adult female psoriasis patient.
What questions should you be asking? What matters most when discussing therapeutic options? What is the best way to partner to ensure a long term relationship? If we could read minds this podcast would not be necessary but alas, it sorely is. Check it out!
Picking up on Prescribing Patterns for Psoriasis: A Real Deal Assessment
We (and our patients) are fortunate to live during a time when we have many safe and effective options to treat a chronic inflammatory skin disease such as Psoriasis. We are reminded of this, nay inundated, with warm and fuzzy headlines in the lay dermatology press that humblebrag said efficacy. However, how does this translate to the real world, when the perfect, neat lines of clinical trials are blurred by practical issues such as access, patient and practitioner perception, and long term use and efficacy? In a JDD Podcast first, we had not one but two investigators share their work and first steps to evaluate just that.
To Treat or Not To Treat: Systemic Therapy Considerations for Psoriasis in the Setting of Malignancy
I’m a biologic girl in a biologic world…or so I think myself and never say out loud when reviewing therapeutic options for moderate to severe psoriasis. We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful options, however certain clinical scenarios may limit our ability to capitalize on said armament mostly due to limited experience and data. Enter previous malignancy – in most phase 3 studies these patients are weeded out or the history of malignancy must be at least 5 years prior to entry. So what to do? Our colleagues at Tufts Medical Center asked this very question. Tune in to hear what Dr. David Rosmarin, Assistant Professor of Dermatology and Residency Program Director learned from performing a retrospective chart review and how his work and his experience guides his clinical decision making when managing psoriasis. Don’t flake (or is it scale?)…check it out.
