Serum irisin level, insulin resistance, and lipid profiles in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: a case-control study,
Conclusion: This study indicates that hidradenitis suppurativa patients have higher serum irisin, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and triglycerides levels than healthy controls. Thus, the authors suggest that hidradenitis suppurativa patients should be evaluated for insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, and monitored accordingly.

Blood microRNA expressions in patients with mild to moderate psoriasis and the relationship between microRNAs and psoriasis activity,
Conclusion: The detection of 24 mi-RNA expressions up- or down-regulated in psoriasis patients, even in those with milder disease, further supports the role of mi-RNAs in the psoriasis pathogenesis. Future studies should clarify whether mi-RNAs can be used as a marker for psoriasis prognosis or as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of psoriasis. (Source: Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia)
