The results from the scan didnt fit in with any sort of injury, or any sort of wear and tear damage, and with a few other nagging bits in my history, it meant that I was referred straight to the rheumatology team, Wilson says. Despite inconclusive blood tests, Wilson was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. It wasnt until she was 28 that she had what she describes as her largest breakthroughshe moved to another part of the country and saw a new doctor. A fresh pair of eyes meant my diagnosis changed to psoriatic arthritis, and with that my treatment changed too, she says.

Unlike Parker, Wilson doesnt have skin psoriasis, which is possible (though less common) and another factor that may contribute to a delayed diagnosis. In some cases, PsA symptoms may present before the skin symptoms show up, especially in young patients, Dr. Fors Nieves adds. The skin psoriasis may also be present in less visible parts of the body, like the scalp, under the arms, or on the groin or genitals.

The first hurdle of treatment is typically finding the right specialist, which can be a struggle for some. While Parkers first rheumatologist wasnt the right fit, she eventually found a provider she felt comfortable with. I wanted someone who I could relate to and feel heard, she says. I wanted to see someone who understood a person of color may have different experiences with medical staff, and a professional who knew how to communicate with me in a way that was helpful and hopeful.

The next step is finding a treatment method that works for you. In the decade since she first saw a doctor for her joint pain and swelling, Wilson has tried several different treatments with varying levels of success. A few years ago, she underwent arthroscopic surgery to try to reduce some of the inflammation of her knee joint. Wilson says it helped for a while, but it certainly wasnt a cure. She currently manages her condition with a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, biologic injections, exercise, and sleep.

Early and mild PsA is often treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen. For some patients, sporadic use of these medications is sufficient to control their symptoms, Dr. Fors Nieves says. But in more severe cases, and in patients who are experiencing joint damage from the inflammation, stronger medications are often required.

In the case of a patient who is having regular flares with attacks of swollen joints and severe stiffness, we may need to add immunomodulatory medication since PsA is an autoimmune condition, says Dr. Fors Nieves. These might include conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biologics, or enzyme inhibitors.

Some patients may require multiple medicines to have their skin and joint disease under control, Ronald Yglesias, MD, a rheumatologist in Aventura, Florida, tells SELF.

Managing this condition isnt just about taking medicationslifestyle changes can actually be life-changing for people with PsA. The key is listening to your body to get an idea of what it needs (or what it really needs a break from.) For instance, Wilson started to cut back on alcohol when she realized it was a major trigger for pain and stiffness the next morning.

The Winding Road to Psoriatic Arthritis Relief - Self

2022 APR 05 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- New research on Biotechnology - Biologics is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating from Creteil, France, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, Treatment options for psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have evolved significantly throughout the era of biologics. Clinical trials are inadequate to assess the relative long-term efficacy of biologics and are often insufficient regarding safety.

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from University Paris Est Creteil, To assess the long-term persistence of different biologic classes to treat PsO and PsA. This nationwide cohort study involved the administrative health care database of the French health insurance scheme linked to the hospital discharge database. All adults with PsO and PsA who were new users of biologics (not in the year before the index date) from January 1, 2015, to May 31, 2019, were included and followed up through December 31, 2019. Patients hospitalized for PsA in the PsO cohort and for PsO in the PsA cohort in the year before the index date were excluded. Data were analyzed from June 1 to October 31, 2021. Persistence was defined as the time from biologic therapy initiation to discontinuation and was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Comparison of persistence by biologic class involved using propensity score-weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models and adjustment on specific systemic nonbiologics (time-dependent variables). A total of 16 892 patients with PsO were included in the analysis (mean [SD] age, 48.5 [13.8] years; 9152 men [54.2%] men). Of these, 10 199 patients (60.4%) started therapy with a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor; 3982 (23.6%), with an interleukin 12 and interleukin 23 (IL-12/23) inhibitor; and 2711 (16.0%), with an interleukin 17 (IL-17) inhibitor. An additional 6531 patients with PsA (mean [SD] age, 49.1 [12.8] years; 3565 [54.6%] women) were included; of these, 4974 (76.2%) started therapy with a TNF inhibitor; 803 (12.3%), with an IL-12/23 inhibitor; and 754 (11.5%), with an IL-17 inhibitor. Overall 3-year persistence rates were 40.9% and 36.2% for PsO and PsA, respectively. After inverse probability of treatment weighting and adjustment, the IL-17 inhibitor was associated with higher persistence compared with the TNF inhibitor for PsO (weighted hazard ratio [HR], 0.78 [95% CI, 0.73-0.83]) and PsA (weighted HR, 0.70 [95% CI, 0.58-0.85]) and compared with the IL-12/23 inhibitor for PsA (weighted HR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.55-0.87]). No difference between the IL-17 inhibitor and IL-12/23 inhibitor for PsO was noted. The IL-12/23 inhibitor was associated with higher persistence than the TNF inhibitor for PsO (weighted HR, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.72-0.80]), with no difference observed for PsA. The findings of this cohort study suggest that IL-17 inhibitors are associated with higher treatment persistence than the TNF inhibitor for PsO and PsA. Interleukin 17 inhibitors were also associated with higher persistence than the IL-12/23 inhibitor for PsA, with no difference for PsO.

According to the news editors, the research concluded: However, the persistence rates of all biologics remained globally low at 3 years.

University Paris Est Creteil Reports Findings In Biologics (Long-term Persistence Of First-line Biologics For Patients With Psoriasis And Psoriatic...

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., April 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc.(Nasdaq: ARQT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing meaningful innovations in immuno-dermatology, today announced the enrollment of the last subject in its ARRECTOR pivotal Phase 3 trial of topical roflumilast foam in adolescents and adults with scalp and body psoriasis. Roflumilast foam is a once-daily, topical formulation of a highly potent and selective phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor (roflumilast). The foam formulation was designed to treat all areas of the body, including the face and particularly hair-bearing areas such as the scalp. If successful, the Company believes that this trial will provide sufficient basis to file a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in the U.S. for roflumilast foam in scalp and body psoriasis.

Scalp psoriasis occurs in approximately 40% of individuals with plaque psoriasis and can cause physical and emotional distress, with 97% of individuals with scalp psoriasis reporting that the condition impacts their daily life.i

The scalp and hair-bearing areas of the body create unique treatment challenges, not easily solved through creams or ointments, and often requiring patients to use multiple therapies, complicated treatment regimens or resort to expensive systemic or biologic therapies. This can result in lack of compliance to treatment and worsening symptoms. Roflumilast foam has been formulated to overcome these challenges and provide a once-daily treatment option for use on all areas of the body, said Patrick Burnett, MD, PhD, FAAD. We are proud of the continued execution of our clinical development program as demonstrated by the completion of enrollment in a second pivotal phase 3 program for roflumilast foam this year. More importantly, we move one step closer to providing an important treatment option to millions of individuals impacted by scalp psoriasis.

About ARRECTORThe A Randomized tRial Employing topiCal roflumilasT foam to treat scalp psORiasis (ARRECTOR) study is a parallel group, double blind, vehicle-controlled pivotal Phase 3 study of the safety and efficacy of roflumilast foam 0.3% or a matching vehicle administered once-daily in subjects with scalp and body psoriasis ages 12 and older. A total of 432 subjects have enrolled in the study. The co-primary endpoints of the study are the proportion of subjects achieving Scalp-Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) success and the proportion of subjects achieving Body-IGA success, with IGA success defined as an IGA score of clear or almost clear plus a 2-point improvement from baseline after eight weeks.

About Scalp and Body PsoriasisScalp psoriasis is a manifestation of plaque psoriasis characterized by raised, red areas of skin (plaques) covered with a silver or white scale that occurs in the hair-bearing area of the scalp and sometimes extending to the forehead, back of the neck, or behind or inside the ears. Patients with scalp psoriasis commonly have plaques on other areas of the body as well. Approximately 40 percent of the estimated 8.6 million Americans with plaque psoriasis have involvement of the scalp. Scalp psoriasis plaques are identical to psoriatic plaques on other areas of the body; however, topical treatment of scalp plaques is complicated by the difficulty of delivering topical drugs under the hair and onto the skin. As with psoriatic plaques on other parts of the body, psoriasis on the scalp is often itchy and is sometimes painful. Scalp psoriasis can also be associated with hair loss, likely due to damage to the hair from excessive scratching, rubbing, or combing of the affected area. Often, patients require two or more medications to manage their disease when they have scalp involvement.

About Topical Roflumilast Foam Topical roflumilast foam is a once-daily, topical formulation of a highly potent and selective PDE4 inhibitor (roflumilast), which the Company is developing for both seborrheic dermatitis and scalp and body psoriasis. The unique foam formulation is designed to penetrate and treat inflammatory dermatoses in hair-bearing areas of the body, such as the scalp, although it is usable on all areas of the body. Arcutis has also submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for a closely related cream formulation of topical roflumilast for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Actaction date of July 29, 2022. Roflumilast has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for oral treatment to reduce the risk of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) since 2011. PDE4 is an intracellular enzyme that increases the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and decreases production of anti-inflammatory mediators; it has been implicated in a wide range of inflammatory diseases including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and COPD. PDE4 is an established target in dermatology, and other PDE4 inhibitors have been approved by the FDA for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis and the systemic treatment of plaque psoriasis.

About ArcutisArcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT) is a medical dermatology company that champions meaningful innovation to address the urgent needs of patients living with immune-mediated dermatological diseases and conditions. With a commitment to solving the most persistent patient challenges in dermatology, Arcutis harnesses our unique dermatology development platform coupled with our dermatology expertise to build differentiated therapies against biologically validated targets.

The immune system is the body's first line of defensewhen infection-causing pathogens invade, the immune system springs into action, launching substances designed to neutralize the invaders. But that process can go haywire, and the immune system can actually attack the body's own tissues and organs. That's what's known as autoimmune disease. There are several of them, and their symptoms can be wide-ranging, from uncomfortable to potentially debilitating. These are the most common signs your body is attacking itself, according to doctors. Read on to find out moreand to ensure your health and the health of others, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had COVID.

Could be: Rheumatoid arthritis

When the immune system attacks the linings of the joints, rheumatoid arthritis can develop, causing painful swelling. Smaller joints tend to be affected first, followed by larger ones; about 40 percent of people affected by rheumatoid arthritis experience symptoms that don't involve the joints, such as issues with the eyes or skin. "In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels," says the Mayo Clinic.

Could be: Lupus, Arthritis

"The classic sign of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain and swelling," says the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Inflammation is a hallmark of a number of autoimmune conditions, the most common being lupus, a complex disease most often diagnosed in women between the ages of 15 and 44. It has a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, fever, joint pain, stiffness and swelling, and a facial rash.

Could be: Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder that causes the body's immune system to mistakenly attack its own healthy cells, damaging the sheath that covers the nerves. This can lead to various neurological symptoms. Numbness and tingling is one of the most common first signs, doctors say, as are vision problems (which tend to affect only one eye). Other symptoms include balance problems, trouble walking, stiffness or weakness in the limbs, and fatigue.

RELATED: I Have Omicron and This is What it Feels Like

Could be: Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBS) in which the immune system attacks the digestive tract, causing chronic inflammation. That can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool, fatigue, weight loss, and even malnutrition. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and might involve any part of the small or large intestine. It's treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants and antibiotics.

Could be: Psoriasis, Lupus6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

Skin-related symptoms are another common sign of autoimmune disorders. A red "butterfly rash" that develops over the nose and both cheeks is a common sign in lupus. In psoriasis, the body's skin cells go into overproduction mode and build up on the skin in rough, red patches or silvery scales. In psoriatic arthritis, joint pain, redness and swelling accompany the scaling. Both conditions are treatable with medication.

RELATED: COVID Symptoms Usually Appear Like This

Could be: Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes develops when the immune system destroys cells in the pancreas that are responsible for generating insulin, the hormone that helps the body process sugar and turn it into energy. Without that processor, blood sugar can rise to dangerous levels, damaging blood vessels and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia, and blindness. Although it's most commonly diagnosed in childhood, type 1 diabetes can develop at any age. Other symptoms include frequent thirst, increased urination, fatigue, constant hunger, and intentional weight loss.

Signs Your Body Is Attacking Itself, Say Doctors Eat This Not That - Eat This, Not That

Hair loss can be hard. For many people, losing something that is a such a big part of their identity can make them feel uncomfortable in their own skin. Some thinning hair is inevitable with aging, but luckily, it can also be caused by many other factors that are more under your control like hormonal imbalances, stress, or even what type of hair brush you use. With so many possible culprits, though, it may seem impossible to get to the root of the problem. But if you're struggling with hair loss in your sixth decade and beyond, it is likely that a common condition is to blame. Read on to discover what could be making you lose your hair if you're over 50, and how to turn things around.

RELATED: If You're Over 65, Not Doing This in the Shower Is Causing Hair Loss.

One of the most common culprits of hair loss after age 50 is inflammation, a natural response in the body that helps protect from infection and diseases. But if you are chronically inflamed, serious health issues can occur. According to Ben Behnam, MD, FASD, and medical director at hair loss treatment brand Happy Head, inflammation can damage the hair follicles, which can cause strands to fall out. Inflammation can also damage the hair shaft, making it difficult for new hair to grow.

Examples of inflammation on the scalp include dandruff, psoriasis, alopecia areata, and redness and flakiness. Each of these conditions varies, but some of the most common symptoms are itchiness, burning, and even hair loss. However, Behnam notes that not all patients will experience these symptoms.

One of the many causes of inflammation in the bodywhich can ultimately lead to hair lossis an autoimmune reaction. An autoimmune reaction is when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. "This can happen in a number of autoimmune diseases like lupus erythematosus or alopecia areata, both of which can cause patchy hair loss," says Cheryl Rosen, MD, board-certified dermatologist and director of dermatology at BowTiedLife.

Note that these conditions are somewhat rare: Only about 1.5 million Americans have lupus, per the Lupus Foundation of America. And alopecia areata affects about 2.1 percent of Americans, according to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. Rosen says autoimmune reactions can also be triggered by things like infections, stress, or certain medications.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition in which your immune system turns over skin cells too quickly, causing scaly patches. A common area for these patches to develop is the scalp. The National Psoriasis Foundation says that about 8 million Americans suffer from this condition.

Dandruff, on the other hand, is a condition that causes the skin on the scalp to flake. According to Mayo Clinic, it can be triggered by dry skin, a yeast-like fungus, or sensitivity to hair products. Per The International Journal of Trichology, the condition impacts around 50 percent of adults.

Hair loss can occur with both psoriasis and dandruff due to intense itching that manually pulls out the hair. The inflammation of the follicle that causes the conditions can also slow or stop hair growth.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb

Fortunately, there are treatments available to improve the condition of the scalp and promote new hair growth. Rosen says they include anti-inflammatory medications, topical treatments, and light therapy.

For example, if you have psoriasis, you may be prescribed a topical steroid to reduce your symptoms, says Behnam. If you have dandruff, you may be offered an anti-dandruff shampoo, such as Nizoral, to soothe the inflammation. For cases of alopecia areata, there are injectable drugs available to reduce inflammation. Over time, hair growth can be restored. "If you are suffering from hair loss due to inflammation, talk to your doctor about the best treatment option for you," says Rosen. That way, you can restore your strands to their healthiest state.
