GRAPPA Slide Library

Introduction to the GRAPPA Slide Library

Welcome to the GRAPPA slide library, where we have carefully curated slides to provide a comprehensive overview of psoriatic diseases. Our aim is to ensure widespread use of these slides for educating healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with psoriatic diseases.

The library consists of eleven sections covering the following topics:

Genetics
Pathogenesis & Tissues
Classification, Epidemiology, and Prognosis
Clinical Features
Imaging
Psoriatic Skin Disease
Psoriatic Nail Disease
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment
Outcome Measures
Comorbidities

Currently, all slides in the library are accessible in English and can be conveniently accessed using search terms such as keywords or by browsing the specific categories mentioned above. The slides are designed to be used as they are and should not be modified in any way. While we have taken great care to ensure the accuracy of the slide content, please note that GRAPPA cannot be held legally responsible for any potential mistakes that may have occurred.
