  The increased rate of mortality that is seen in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is predominantly due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) disease. CV morbidity is also increased in patients with PsA compared with the general population.
  This increased CV risk might be related to an increased prevalence of CV risk factors or undertreatment of CV risk factors in patients with PsA.
- Psychological Distress in Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris

  The presence of psoriasis is often associated with psychological distress and/or psychiatric co-morbidities. In particular, depression, anxiety, and difficulties in expressing emotions have been observed at a much higher prevalence in patients with psoriasis than in the general population.
- The Role of Keratinocytes in Inflammatory Skin Diseases
  
  Cristina Albanesi, PhD 
  
  Laboratory of Immunology, Istituto Dermopatico dell’Immacolata (IDI)-IRCCS, Rome, Italy 
  
  Substantial evidence that has been acquired over recent years indicates that keratinocytes play an active role in the generation and expression of protective immune responses in the skin. The constitutive production of immune and inflammatory mediators by unperturbed keratinocytes is low or absent. However, upon stimulation by environmental, physical, or chemical stimuli, a significant increase in the production of pro-inflammatory mediators can be observed both in vitro and in vivo.
