There is a bidirectional relationship between obesity and psoriasis. Liraglutide has been shown to improve the severity of psoriatic lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes. We aimed to study the effects of liraglutide 3mg in patients with obesity and psoriasis. ⋯ Liraglutide 3mg for three months is effective and safe in reducing weight and improving psoriatic lesions among patients with psoriasis and obesity. Besides, there is an improvement in psoriatic lesions regardless of weight loss that deserves further studies.

This study aims to assess the risk of relapse after complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR), and to develop a prognostic nomogram predicting the probability in lupus nephritis (LN) patients. ⋯ High SLEDAI, ESR, and positive aPL, anti-Sm antibody are potential risk factors for LN flare, while high C1q can reduce its recurrence. The visualized model we established can help predict the relapse risk of LN and aid clinical decision-making for individual patients.
