Psoriatic arthritis management update - biotherapeutic options.

T P SABER and D J VEALE

J Rheumatol Suppl 83(0):65-8 (2009) PMID 19661546

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a seronegative spondyloarthropathy (SpA) occurring in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis. It has a wide variation of annual incidence (median 6.4, range 0.1-3.1 per 10(5) people), based on analysis of 13 incidence and prevalence reviews published between 1987 and December 2006. Conventional treatments with antiinflammatory and disease modifying or antirheumatic drugs are not efficacious in all patients, in particular those with axial disease. This review examines new pharmacological developments in the treatment of PsA with a focus on biologic therapies.

    We have sought to investigate the role of coronary drug eluting stents (DES) in the tibial vasculature in the hope that they may reduce recurrent stenosis, the leading threat to interventional patency. Ample data now exists in the form of registries and randomised trials designed to evaluate the use...
