Psoriasis Cure Now Podcast No. 4 - Remicade for Psoriasis - October 2006
Welcome to Psoriasis Cure Now's Podcast Number 4: Remicade for psoriasis. Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Centocor's Remicade (infliximab) 
for the treatment of adults with severe plaque psoriasis. This podcast includes interviews with a top psoriasis expert and a man treating his psoriasis with Remicade to help people understand what Remicade is and whether it might be appropriate for them.
First, we speak with renowned dermatologist Alan Menter, M.D.,
Chairman of the Division of Dermatology at Baylor University Medical Center, and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Southwestern Medical School. He is also President of the International Psoriasis Council. Dr. Menter was the lead investigator for Remicade's U.S. psoriasis study.
Next, we interview Mike Hills, a Remicade patient from Virginia, who shares his experience with the treatment and walks us through an infusion from the patient perspective. Remicade is delivered via intravenous infusion in a medical setting, and is also approved for several other diseases, including psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.

We hope you find the interviews helpful, and inspiring: Mike Hills has found a treatment that works for him. He did not give up trying to clear his psoriasis, and we urge you not to give up either.
Finally, the podcast includes brief excerpts of the virtuosity of famed pianist Byron Janis. Mr. Janis is considered one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century.
He also has lived with psoriatic arthritis - in his hands and wrists! - for decades. You will not want to miss this brief interview with him conducted by the Arthritis Foundation a few years ago. The music that opens the podcast is Piano Sonata No.17 In D Minor, Op.31 No. 2 'Tempest': 3. Allegretto, composed by Ludwig van Beethoven, with Byron Janis. The music that closes the podcast is Mazurka for piano No. 45 in A minor, Op. 67/4. CT. 95, composed by Fryderyk Chopin, with Byron Janis. Both are available on this collection of his work.
