Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress: Its Role in Disease and Novel Prospects for Therapy by Axel H. Schönthal

“…In recent years, this dichotomic stress response system has been linked to several human diseases, and efforts are underway to develop approaches to exploit ER stress mechanisms for therapy. For example, obesity and type 2 diabetes have been linked to ER stress-induced failure of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, and current research efforts are aimed at developing drugs that ameliorate cellular stress and thereby protect beta cell function. …”

Exploring comorbidity and pharmacological treatment patterns in psoriasis - a retrospective population-based cross-sectional study by Nelly Hamgård, Albert Duvetorp, Anna Hägg, Sandra Jerkovic Gulin, Oliver Seifert

“…Arthritis other than psoriasis arthritis was found to be the most prevalent comorbid diagnosis among psoriasis patients (adjusted OR 7.2, CI 95% 6.4-8.2, p < 0.001), followed by obesity (OR 2.4, CI 95% 1.9-3.1, p < 0,001). There was no significant difference in drug prescription for comorbid diseases between patients with psoriasis and patients without psoriasis except for arthritis and smoking cessation treatment. …”
