We're excited to share PAPAA's brand-new Issue 62 of Skin 'n' Bones Connection our go-to biannual journal full of trusted, evidence-based information. This edition dives deep into the "beyond the skin" story, reminding us why whole-person care, from screening comorbidities to multidisciplinary teams, is key, just like current UK and European guidelines recommend.
People with the condition know psoriatic disease doesn't stop at the skin, it sneaks into joints (affecting about 1 in 3 people with psoriasis), eyes through risks like uveitis that can blur vision or cause pain, plus heart health, metabolism issues, and even sleep disruptions from all that inflammation. The good news? Early holistic care and smart strategies can make a huge difference in managing it all and improving quality of life.
You'll find practical advice tailored for real life: navigating work with protections under the UK Equality Act 2010 (think reasonable adjustments like flexible hours or ergonomic setups), fertility and pregnancy planning (many see symptom relief during pregnancy, but watch for postpartum flares), insights showing Mediterranean diets and weight loss (even 5% body weight drop) can dial down inflammation, and our free medical alert cards for biologics to flag immunosuppression in emergencies.
Don't miss the Pso Pscience section breaking down hot topics like GLP-1 agonists (so called skinny jabs) tackling obesity-related psoriasis severity, promising new emollients rivalling steroids, global collaborations addressing care gaps worldwide, and a radiographer's guide to diagnostic imaging (X-rays, MRI, ultrasound) for joints and more. It's all designed to empower patients, families, and professionals with unbiased and actionable knowledge.
