Abstract:
Hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory systemic dermatoses. The immune system plays a fundamental role in their pathogenesis, as each involves an immunological imbalance and the participation of numerous cytokines, including interleukin-17. The coexistence of these conditions can significantly impair quality of life, thus requiring integrated and targeted therapeutic approaches. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with hidradenitis suppurativa who developed psoriasis lesions over time. After receiving multiple therapeutic regimens without response, she began treatment with secukinumab, with excellent outcomes for both entities.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
