Abstract

The article focuses on recent clinical studies related to dermatological conditions and their underlying mechanisms. One study from Ain Shams University investigated the role of the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) in psoriasis, finding decreased enzyme activity in psoriatic lesions compared to non-lesional and healthy skin, suggesting its involvement in local glucocorticoid regulation and psoriatic inflammation. Another study examined nail changes in 100 end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis, identifying a wide range of nail abnormalities correlated with patient age, dialysis duration, and clinical factors, with dermoscopy enhancing detection beyond clinical examination. These findings contribute to understanding the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of psoriasis and renal disease-related nail changes.
