As the findings suggest that the severity of asthma can impact fertility, the researchers stress the importance of effective asthma control to improve reproductive outcomes in women.  ●   The study explored how excess fat tissue around the abdomen affects the risk of chronic musculoskeletal pain at multiple body sites.  ●   Blood glucose test strips are essential for managing diabetes, providing crucial data on blood sugar levels. This comprehensive guide explores what blood glucose test strips are, their uses, and the benefits of regular testing.  ●   A cervical pillow, also commonly known as an orthopedic pillow, is especially designed to cure cervical problems, correct the positioning of the body, and prevent neck pain.  ●   Snoring affects many people, disrupting sleep and causing discomfort for both the snorer and their partner. Anti-snoring devices are designed to mitigate this issue by addressing the underlying causes of snoring.  ●   The latest study investigated how starting smoking before the age of 18 affects respiratory health in early adulthood.  ●   In the recent outbreak linked to contaminated chicken eggs, 63 people fell ill, 24 were hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.  ●   Diabetes patients are at an increased risk of developing asthma and the relationship between the two conditions is reciprocal, the study revealed.  ●   Poor posture can lead to severe lower back pain, especially for those who sit for long periods. Lumbar pillows provide an easy solution by relieving pressure on the lower spine and helping maintain good posture. These orthopedic support pillows fit snugly between the spine and the sitting surface, adapting to the body's natural curve to offer maximum support and evenly distribute weight.  ●   Coccyx cushions are a simple yet effective solution for tailbone pain and discomfort. Whether you're looking for cooling relief, portability, or orthopedic support, there's a coccyx cushion to meet your specific needs.  ●   SAM-e is a versatile compound with potential benefits for mood support, joint health, liver function, and cognitive health. As a naturally occurring molecule involved in various biochemical processes, SAM-e plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being.  ●   Incorporating probiotics into your diet can support not only a healthy gut but also improve respiratory function and cardiovascular health, promoting overall well-being.  ●   Excessive light pollution increases the risk of Alzheimer's in both older and younger adults. For those under 65, nighttime light exposure poses a greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to many other known factors.  ●   The study found that insulin resistance is associated with more than 30 diseases, elevating the risk for 26 of them and potentially leading to early death in women.  ●   Compared with an intermediate chronotype, participants with a late chronotype had a 46% higher risk of type 2 diabetes, even after adjusting for other factors including age and lifestyle factors.  ●   Including fish in the diet during pregnancy is linked to a 20% reduction in the risk of autism spectrum disorder and a decreased risk of autism-related traits in children, the study revealed.  ●   A low-carb, high-fat diet is linked to a 20% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the study revealed.  ●   A recent study offers a quick fix that not only shortens the duration of common cold but also significantly reduces the risk of transmission.  ●   Investing in good-quality ergonomic chairs may save you a lot of pain in the future. These orthopedic chairs can support your lower back, align your spine, and give your neck the comfort it needs while working.  ●   Choosing the right ankle brace can significantly impact injury recovery and overall support during physical activities. This article explores the top ankle braces on the market, evaluating their features, benefits, and user experiences.  ●   When managing knee pain or injury, selecting the right knee brace can significantly impact your comfort and recovery. This article explores the top knee braces on the market, highlighting their features, benefits, and suitability for various conditions such as arthritis, ACL injuries, and meniscus tears.  ●   Some studies have found that inositol reduces panic attacks if it is taken in high doses.  ●   Krill oil is a rich and important source of Omega-3s. It has been found beneficial in preventing several lifestyle diseases.  ●   Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays a vital role in producing serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood, sleep, and appetite. Incorporating tryptophan supplements into your routine can support relaxation, enhance sleep quality, and improve overall mental well-being, making it a popular choice for those seeking natural health support.  ●   The study revealed that long-term exposure to particulate matter from air pollution adversely affects male fertility, and noise pollution poses a significant threat to female reproductive health in women over 35.  ●

The Skin is Just the Beginning: Approaches to Management of Psoriatic Disease in Children and Adolescents

July 23, 2021
38 Mins
Description

This educational event will focus on the clinical management of psoriasis in pediatric patients. After a brief review of the epidemiology and unique clinical presentation of psoriasis in children and adolescents, the discussion will address comorbid inflammatory conditions and psychosocial comorbidities in this patient population. The expert panel will review the current guideline recommendations for treatment of psoriasis in pediatric patients, the role of systemic therapies, and considerations for their use in children and adolescents.

Speakers
Dr. Elaine Siegfried is board-certified in Dermatology and Pediatric Dermatology
  • Dr. Siegfried is Professor of Pediatrics and Dermatology in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Dermatology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Dr. Siegfried is a past president and director of the American Board of Dermatology. She serves on the editorial board of Dermatology Times. Her memberships include the Society for Pediatric Dermatology, the American Academy of Dermatology, the National Eczema Association and The National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias.
  • Dr. Siegfried diagnoses and treats skin-related disorders in infants and children. She specializes in treatments for atopic dermatitis and other eczemas, psoriasis, and vascular birthmarks, and participates in clinical trials for new treatments for eczema and psoriasis. Dr. Siegfried is interested in research investigating atopic dermatitis and pediatric drug development.
Dr. Wynnis Tom is board-certified in Dermatology
  • Dr. Wynnis Tom is a dermatologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and a professor in the Departments of Dermatology and Pediatrics at UC San Diego.
  • Dr. Tom cares for patients in the Severe Inflammatory Dermatoses/Systemic Therapy Clinic. Her special clinical interests include chronic inflammatory skin disorders, particularly atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis, and managing patients with diseases that require oral or systemic medicines. Her research focuses on the genetic factors contributing to these difficult-to-treat diseases, patient response to treatment, and complications such as secondary infections and cardiac health risks.
Dr. Amy Paller is board-certified in Pediatrics, Dermatology, and Pediatric Dermatology
  • Dr. Paller is Chair of the Department of Dermatology, Director of Skin Biology and Disease Resource-Based Center, and Professor of Dermatology and Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
  • As a pediatric dermatologist, Dr. Paller specializes in genetic and immune-mediated inflammatory in children. As director of pediatric dermatology clinical research, Dr. Paller has led almost 100 clinical trials. Her most recent translational research has: a) defined the immunophenotypes in early atopic dermatitis in children, paving the way for targeted therapy; b) discovered the immune dysregulation that may lead to inflamed skin in the ichthyoses, leading to a novel clinical trial with repurposed medication; and c) discovered evidence for an important role for ganglioside GM3 as an intermediate in the insulin resistance in diabetic skin and also in development of diabetic neuropathy.
