Psoriasis increases risk for heart attack
Adults with psoriasis, especially younger patients with severe psoriasis, appear to be at increased risk for a heart attack, according to a study in the October 11 issue of JAMA. Psoriasis is a common, chronic disease that affects about 2 percent to 3 percent of the adult population. It is associated with markers of systemic inflammation, such as increased C-reactive protein levels, which have been linked to the development of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack), according to background information in the article. Several hospital-based studies have indicated that psoriasis is associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack, but these studies did not control for major cardiovascular risk factors.

UV-A therapy more effective than narrowband UV-B therapy in chronic plaque psoriasis
UV-A therapy was found to be more effective than narrowband UV-B therapy in treating patients with chronic plaque psoriasis, according to an article in the July issue of Archives of Dermatology. It is unclear whether narrowband UV-B (NB-UVB) therapy is as effective as psoralen-UV-A (PUVA) therapy in treating psoriasis, according to background information in the article. PUVA therapy includes the combination of 8-methoxypsoralen medication (taken orally) and exposure to UV-A (long-wave) radiation. NB-UVB involves exposure to UV-B (short-wave) radiation and is thought to be safer than PUVA.
