Please review prior to ordering Genetic and immunologic advances have increased our understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and there is a need for practically oriented evidence based references to describe the management options open to clinicians. The speed at which developments are occurring in the field also necessitates a novel approach to keeping up with these changes in practice and the need is for a reference that that be updated regularly as the subject requires. Psoriasis is an incredibly fast-moving discipline within dermatology. Guidelines, treatment options and management all change at incredible speed. There is a requirement to provide a comprehensive reference resource to provide practical, user friendly information for the dermatology profession to aid in the decision-making process. Psoriasis is a graphical subdiscipline of medicine and therefore this will have copious illustrations. As a fast moving discipline the emphasis must be on annual updates to ensure that readers are kept up to date on the important areas of development. Please review prior to ordering. Part 3: Biologic InjectablesPart 3: Biologic Injectables However, for individuals who have never received this therapy, the process of performing a self-injection can be daunting. There is lack of patient educational material on how to perform and optimize this treatment. Objective The objective of this study is to present a freely available online guide and video on biologic injections that is informative to patients and increases the success and compliance of patients starting this therapy. Methods The self-injection technique taught at the University of California—San Francisco Psoriasis and Skin Treatment Center as well as available information from the literature were reviewed to design a practical guide for patients receiving biologic injections.

Results We created a printable guide and video resource that describes how to improve the injection process, pain management, travel planning, and common concerns with biologic injectables. Conclusion This guide is beneficial for patients who wish to improve their experience with biologic self-injections, for healthcare providers who prescribe these treatments, and for trainees learning about this modality. Many of these therapies are biologic injectable agents and are administered via subcutaneous injection. Below we will describe flow of treatment, injection techniques, and practical tips for biologic injectable agents. Methods We reviewed the biologic injectable agent protocol used at the University of California—San Francisco Psoriasis and Skin Treatment Center. In addition, the PubMed database was searched using the term “psoriasis” combined with the terms “biologic” “etanercept”, “adalimumab, “ustekinumab”, “secukinumab”, and “ixekizumab” to identify relevant articles to design a comprehensive guide for patients receiving biologic injectable treatment for psoriasis. This article does not involve any new studies of human or animal subjects performed by any of the authors. All photos are printed with the consent of the subject(s). Results and Discussion Overview The guide below will cover the supplies needed for biologic injectable agents, injection procedure techniques, how to plan injections, and how to travel with medications. It is important for patients and physicians to discuss in detail the treatment options, patient history, and patient preferences when considering biologic injectable agents for the treatment of psoriasis (Tables 1, 2 ).It should never be frozen as this can inactivate the drug. Unfortunately, patients commonly experience discomfort when injecting the medication that has been stored at cold temperature.
Additionally, it can be helpful for patients to warm up the medication in their hands to help reach a more comfortable temperature for injection. Target Injection Site Selection Selection of the injection site is a personal preference depending on what is the easiest for each individual patient. We have found that some sites are easier to inject than others (Fig. 1 ). When choosing between the arm, abdomen, and thighs many patients report that injecting in the thighs is the easiest. This location tends to be easier for several reasons. First, it is easily accessible and is within arm’s reach. The thigh can also be injected on either the right or left side without difficulty. In addition, this location tends to be less painful than other injection sites. Hence, thigh injection can be performed while seated, which provides a flat surface and allows for an easier set up. Fig. 1 Locations for target injection sites Full size image An ice pack (like the one that may come with the medication upon delivery) can be used to help numb the injection site prior to injection. Patients can apply the ice pack to the area for several seconds or until sufficiently numbed. When the patient is ready to inject, the injection site should be cleaned off with an alcohol wipe prior to injection (Fig. 2 ). Fig. 2 Applying ice pack Full size image Medication is best held in the dominant hand to maximize control and dexterity during injection. Make sure to review the injection instructions unique to each medication. Injection Site Reactions Injection site reactions are relatively common side effects for injectable biologic agents. An injection site reaction is redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising at the site of injection. Injection site reactions typically present within a day after injection, and commonly resolve within several days. It can be useful to ice the area to reduce swelling and alleviate symptoms, as well as use an antihistamine to reduce swelling and itch.
Disposing of the Medication After injection of the medication it is important to dispose of syringes in an appropriate sharps container. Sharps containers can be obtained at a local pharmacy or at some doctors’ offices. When the sharps container is full it can be disposed of in safe container disposal sites located at the doctors’ office and other healthcare facilities. If a sharps container is not available, a coffee tin can be used as an alternative until a sharps container is acquired. Traveling with Biologic Injectable Medications While we advise patients not to miss any medication doses, sometimes it can be difficult to maintain the injection schedule during times of travel. There are several options to modulate the injection regimen if the scheduled injection happens to fall during travel time: This will guarantee that the medication remains adequately refrigerated and in optimal condition without risking the integrity of the medications during travel. It is crucial to find adequate storage and refrigeration for the medication during travel. The medication should be kept cold in an insulated bag with an ice pack at all times. If the patient is traveling on a long flight, a flight attendant may be able to store the medication in the refrigerator of the airplane. A doctor’s note or copy of the prescription information can be helpful when traveling through airport security. Patients should make sure that their accommodations at their travel destination provide a secure place to refrigerate the medication. The goal is to ensure that that medication is safe, secure, and at an adequate temperature. Depending on the severity of the illness, it is reasonable to delay the injection until after recovering from the illness; however, this should always be done in consultation with a medical doctor.
Conclusions Biologic injectable agents are safe and effective treatment options for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, and while they are becoming more common throughout medical practice there has been a paucity of guidance for patients and clinicians on how to optimize the treatment experience. We hope that this guide will be a valuable resource for patients and clinicians preparing for treatment with biologic injectable agents.

Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features!The incidence of psoriasis in Western industrialized countries ranges from 1.5 to 2. Patients afflicted with severe psoriasis vulgaris may experience a significant reduction in quality of life. Despite the large variety of treatment options available, patient surveys have revealed insufficient satisfaction with the efficacy of available treatments and a high rate of medication non-compliance (Richards et al.To optimize the treatment of psoriasis in Germany, the Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft (DDG) and the Berufsverband Deutscher Dermatologen (BVDD) have initiated a project to develop evidence-based guidelines for the management of psoriasis first published in 2006 and now updated in 2011. The Guidelines focus on induction therapy in cases of mild, moderate, and severe plaque-type psoriasis in adults. This short version of the guidelines presents the resulting series of therapeutic recommendations, which were based on a systematic literature search and discussed and approved by a team of dermatology experts. In addition to the therapeutic recommendations provided in this short version, the full version of the guidelines includes information on contraindications, adverse events, drug interactions, practicality, and costs, as well as detailed information on how best to apply the treatments described (for full version please see Nast et al.Epub 2019 Jul 1.

The disease most commonly manifests on the skin of the elbows, knees, scalp, lumbosacral areas, intergluteal clefts, and glans penis. In up to 30 of patients, the joints are also affected. Contributed by Randy Park, MD. Laboratory studies and findings for patients with psoriasis may include the following: Progression of corneal melting, inflammation, and vascularization may require lamellar or penetrating keratoplasty. Patients with psoriasis have a genetic predisposition for the illness, which most commonly manifests itself on the skin of the elbows, knees, scalp, lumbosacral areas, intergluteal clefts, and glans penis. The joints are also affected by psoriasis in up to 30 of patients with the disease. (See Pathophysiology and Etiology.) It impacts quality of life and potentially long-term survival. There should be a higher clinical suspicion for depression in the patient with psoriasis. (See Prognosis.) Plaque psoriasis usually presents with plaques on the scalp, trunk, and limbs (see the image below). These plaques appear as focal, raised, inflamed, edematous lesions covered with silvery-white “micaceous” scales. (See Clinical Presentation.) Contributed by Randy Park, MD.
Patients with ocular findings almost always have psoriatic skin disease; however, it is rare for the eye to become involved before the skin. This is supported by the successful treatment of psoriasis with immune-mediating, biologic medications. Multiple theories exist regarding triggers of the disease process including an infectious episode, traumatic insult, and stressful life event. In many patients, no obvious trigger exists at all. However, once triggered, there appears to be substantial leukocyte recruitment to the dermis and epidermis resulting in the characteristic psoriatic plaques. This is supported by histologic examination and immunohistochemical staining of psoriatic plaques revealing large populations of T cells within the psoriasis lesions. One report calculated that a patient with 20 body surface area affected with psoriasis lesions has around 8 billion blood circulating T cells compared with approximately 20 billion T cells located in the dermis and epidermis of psoriasis plaques. Interestingly, elevated levels of TNF-.Epidermal hyperplasia leads to an accelerated cell turnover rate (from 23 d to 3-5 d), leading to improper cell maturation. In addition to parakeratosis, affected epidermal cells fail to release adequate levels of lipids, which normally cement adhesions of corneocytes. Subsequently, poorly adherent stratum corneum is formed leading to the flaking, scaly presentation of psoriasis lesions, the surface of which often resembles silver scales. However, environmental, genetic, and immunologic factors appear to play a role. One study showed an increased incidence of psoriasis in patients with chronic gingivitis. Satisfactory treatment of the gingivitis led to improved control of the psoriasis but did not influence longterm incidence, highlighting the multifactorial and genetic influences of this disease. Perceived stress can exacerbate psoriasis.
Some authors suggest that psoriasis is a stress-related disease and offer findings of increased concentrations of neurotransmitters in psoriatic plaques. The gene locus is determined. The triggering event may be unknown in most cases, but it is likely immunologic. The first lesion commonly appears after an upper respiratory tract infection. In some families, psoriasis is an autosomal dominant trait. Additional HLA antigens that have shown associations with psoriasis and psoriatic subtypes include HLA-B27, HLA-B13, HLA-B17, and HLA-DR7. Whether it is related to weight alone, genetic predisposition to obesity, or a combination of the 2 is not certain.Studies show high levels of dermal and circulating TNF-?. Treatment with TNF-.Psoriatic lesions are associated with increased activity of T cells in the underlying skin. Experimental models can be induced by stimulation with streptococcal superantigen, which cross-reacts with dermal collagen. This small peptide has been shown to cause increased activity among T cells in patients with psoriasis but not in control groups. Some of the newer drugs used to treat severe psoriasis directly modify the function of lymphocytes. This is paradoxical, in that the leading hypothesis on the pathogenesis of psoriasis supports T-cell hyperactivity and treatments geared to reduce T-cell counts help reduce psoriasis severity. This finding is possibly explained by a decrease in CD4 T cells, which leads to overactivity of CD8 T cells, which drives the worsening psoriasis. The HIV genome may drive keratinocyte proliferation directly. Internationally, the incidence of psoriasis varies dramatically. A study of 26,000 South American Indians did not reveal a single case of psoriasis, whereas in the Faeroe Islands, an incidence of 2.8 was observed. Overall, approximately 2-3 of people are affected by psoriasis worldwide. Psoriasis can begin at any age, yet there is a bimodal peak between age 20-30 years and 50-60 years.
Approximately 10-15 of new cases begin in children younger than 10 years. The median age at onset is 28 years. Psoriasis is slightly more common in women than in men. It is less common in the tropics and in dark-skinned persons. Psoriasis prevalence in African Americans is 1.3 compared with 2.5 in whites. It progresses to arthritis in about 10 of cases. About 17-55 of patients experience remissions of varying lengths. Women with severe psoriasis died 4.4 years earlier compared with women without the disease. The authors concluded that large prospective studies with long-term followup are required to determine whether psoriasis is an independent risk factor for vascular disease or is merely associated with known risk factors. After adjustment for age, sex, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and body mass index, the adjusted hazard ratio for CKD among patients with severe psoriasis was 1.93. The relative risk for CKD was highest in younger patients. The physical and mental disability experienced with this disease can be comparable or in excess of that found in patients with other chronic illnesses such as cancer, arthritis, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and depression. A study by Kurd et al further supports the notion that psoriasis impacts quality of life and potentially long-term survival. Measurements using these tools generally show improved quality of life with more aggressive treatment such as systemic agents. Avoiding drying conditions and using lubricants can be effective. Patient recognition of these symptoms is vital for effective early treatment of this disease. Most cases of psoriasis can be controlled at a tolerable level with the regular application of care measures. Biologic response modifier therapy for psoriatic ocular inflammatory disease.
