Summary
Psoriasis and uveitis (eye inflammation) are linked, with each condition increasing the risk of developing the other. Patients with severe psoriasis or joint symptoms face a higher risk of uveitis.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Dermatology
- Immunology
Background:
- Uveitis prevalence is rising in psoriasis patients.
- Previous research explored psoriasis-uveitis immunological links.
- A systematic evaluation of their bidirectional relationship was lacking.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically evaluate the bidirectional association between psoriasis and uveitis.
- To provide evidence for the connection between these two conditions.
Main Methods:
- Searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for observational studies up to March 11th, 2024.
- Systematic review protocol pre-registered in PROSPERO (No. CRD42024522464).
- Analyzed risk and bias using STATA 16.0.
Main Results:
- Analyzed 7 studies with over 81 million subjects.
- Uveitis incidence is higher in psoriasis patients (OR=1.16).
- Uveitis patients have increased psoriasis susceptibility (OR=1.52).
- Uveitis influences psoriasis severity and type.
Conclusions:
- A bidirectional association exists between psoriasis and uveitis.
- Severe psoriasis and psoriasis with joint symptoms increase uveitis risk.
- Informing patients about increased uveitis risk is crucial.

12.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.

01:24T Cell Types and Functions
643
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.

01:29Autoimmune Disorders
328
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

20
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...
