“…Psoriasis is an autoimmune and inflammatory skin disorder that primarily affects the elbows, knees, scalp, umbilicus, and lower back, with sharply defined erythematous plaques covered in silvery-white scales (1). The prevalence of psoriasis, according to peer-reviewed literature, varies from 1 to 9% in the adult population across different countries (2,3).…”

BackgroundPsoriasis and atherosclerosis have overlapping pathophysiological mechanisms. However, the association between psoriasis and coronary artery calcification (CAC), a hallmark of atherosclerosis and a predictor of poor cardiovascular prognosis, remains to be determined. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the association between these related inflammatory conditions.MethodsObservational studies evaluating the relationship between psoriasis and CAC were retrieved by searching PubMed, Cochrane’s Library, and Embase databases. Presence of CAC was confirmed according to an Agatston’s Score >0 upon computed tomography examination. A random-effect model incorporating between-study heterogeneity was used to pool the results.ResultsSixteen studies involving 3,039 patients with psoriasis and 46,191 controls without psoriasis were included in the meta-analysis. All participants were without previously known cardiovascular diseases. Pooled results showed that psoriasis was associated with overall CAC [odds ratio (OR): 1.54, 95% confidence interval: 1.23–1.91, p < 0.001; I2 = 57%], after matching or adjusting the conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Subgroup analyses showed that study country, comorbidity of psoriatic arthritis, baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, and duration of psoriasis (p for subgroup difference all >0.05) did not significantly affect the association of psoriasis and CAC. However, a stronger association was observed in younger patients (mean age <50 years, OR: 2.63, p < 0.001) compared to older patients (≥50 years, OR: 1.24, p = 0.02; p for subgroup difference <0.001).ConclusionPsoriasis is associated with CAC, and the association may be stronger in younger patients.

“…The second review focus on the association between psoriasis and CVD. Psoriasis is an autoimmune and inflammatory skin disorder that primarily affects the elbows, knees, scalp, umbilicus, and lower back, with sharply defined erythematous plaques covered in silvery-white scales ( 13 ). Beyond the skin, systemic inflammation might cause the insurgence of immune-mediated alterations eventually leading to important comorbidities including CV ( 14 ).…”

Editorial on the Research TopicThe role of circulating immune mediators in the crosstalk between cells of the immune system and cardiovascular systems in CVDs Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries (1) and encompass multiple disorders including atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke. Risk factors that drive CVD development include hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, age, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, stress, or their combination. Mechanistically, chronic inflammation and immune cell activation play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis and progression of CVD. Indeed, strong evidence have demonstrated a key role of soluble molecules such as pro-and antiinflammatory cytokines in the atherosclerotic plaque stability (2-4) in the myocardial dysfunctions (5, 6) and in the ischemic stroke outcome (7). Moreover, extracellular vesicles (EVs), released by several cell types, have been shown to regulate a multitude of functions in target cells, thus maintaining the cardiovascular balance or contributing to pathological changes in CVD (8-10).In the Research Topic-"The Role of Circulating Immune Mediators in the Crosstalk Between Cells of the Immune System and Cardiovascular System in CVDs", we provided a platform for exposing the main advancements in the ongoing CVD research. Six papers including both reviews and original articles are published in the volume.Among the reviews, Li et al. described the role of the endothelial glycocalyx (eGCX) in lung diseases mainly focusing on the hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). The eGCX is a carbohydrate-rich layer lining the vascular endothelium. It is formed by soluble plasma components, bound together either directly or via soluble proteoglycans and/or glycosaminoglycans. The composition of eGCX is dynamic due to enzymatic degradation, de novo biosynthesis of new molecules and recruitments of soluble molecules from the bloodstream (11). Moreover, new evidence supports the role of the eGCX damage and fragmentation under inflammatory conditions in the pathogenesis of Frontiers in Immunology frontiersin.org 01

AimAmidst the mounting challenges posed by climate change, the healthcare sector emerges as a vital frontliner, with nurses standing as its linchpins. This review delves into the pivotal role of nurses in combatting the health consequences of climatic alterations, particularly within the nuanced environment of Saudi Arabia.DesignA rapid literature review.MethodDrawing from a rigorous analysis of 53 studies, our exploration revolves around the preparedness strategies formulated in response to Saudi Arabia's changing climate. The variables analysed included study design, sample size, focus area, geographical coverage and key findings related to nurse competencies. Data were collected using a structured data extraction form and analysed using thematic content analysis. Employing content analysis, we discerned essential domains: from grasping the health impacts of climate change to customizing care for the most susceptible populations and championing advocacy initiatives.FindingsSalient findings highlight nurses' profound understanding of both direct and secondary health implications of climate shifts. Additionally, the results emphasize the tailored interventions needed for vulnerable groups, capacity building and disaster readiness. Crucially, our findings spotlight the significance of weaving cultural, ethical and regional threads into nursing strategies. By painting a comprehensive picture, we showcase the delicate balance of environmental evolution, healthcare dynamics and the unique socio‐cultural tapestry of Saudi Arabia.ConclusionThe results of our analysis revealed key competencies required for nurses, including the ability to address immediate health impacts, provide tailored care for vulnerable populations and engage in advocacy and policy formulation. In summation, nurses' multifaceted roles—from immediate medical care to research, advocacy and strategizing—underscore their invaluable contribution to confronting the health adversities sparked by climate change. Our review accentuates the essential contributions of nurses in tackling climate‐related health hurdles and calls for more nuanced research, policy adjustments and proactive measures attuned to Saudi Arabia's distinct backdrop.
