| Abstract | There is epidemiological evidence that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations, or HDL 'levels,' exert protection from atherosclerosis, suggesting that HDL plays a role in vascular diseases. More accurate measures of HDL 'function' are emerging, such as HDL efflux assays, which measure removal of cholesterol from peripheral tissues. Using this assay, we have demonstrated that psoriasis is associated with decreased HDL 'levels' and HDL 'function.' The study by Holzer et al. in this issue demonstrates in an open-label, uncontrolled study that HDL function is impaired in psoriasis and improves after successful treatment of psoriasis. These findings underscore the notion that treatment of psoriasis likely extends beyond the skin and that a randomized controlled clinical trial is needed to confirm these findings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
