INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVES: Background: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease with a genetic predisposition. Prolactin may contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis. However, there has been a debate over the serum level of prolactin in psoriatic patients. 
Aim: To delineate the role of serum prolactin in the pathogenesis of psoriasis
MATERIAL & METHODS: The serum prolactin level was measured in 45 patients with psoriasis and in 45 sex- and age-matched healthy individuals using radioimmunoassay.
RESULTS: The mean serum prolactin concentration was not different between psoriatic patients and healthy controls (320 ± 179.38 vs. 318.18 ± 191.78 IU respectively; P = 0.95). There was no sex- and age-related differences in serum prolactin between the two study groups. Hyperprolactinemia (serum prolactin >324 IU in men, and >496 IU for women) was observed in 11 patients with psoriasis and 12 healthy subjects, which showed no significant difference between the two groups [Χ2 (1) = 0.06, N = 90, P = 0.81]. The serum prolactin was not significantly correlated with the duration of the disease (r = -0.18, P = 0.24) or the PASI score (r = 0.10, P = 0.50).
CONCLUSIONS: The possible role of pituitary-produced circulating prolactin in the disease process needs further investigations.

If yes, please write the names of the organizations in the box :  
What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : The reader of my e-poster asked me about my opinion about the reasons of disagreement of the results of the evaluation of prolactin level in psoriasis patients in different studies.
If you met staff members, please list their full names & positions. : no
Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress :
I’ve seen that many participants listened to lectures eagerly but unfortunately posters received little attention in the congress because of not enough time especially e-posters. I think that it may be better if organizer of the congress consider a separate time just for poster presentation. You may suggest this point to the organizer of the EADV congress. 
 
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The processes of the reservation of ticket and hotel is relatively easy and not so time-consuming.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) congress take place in one of the European country every year, and many dermatologists and some residents of dermatology from all over the world participate in EADV congress. EADV congress has different topics in all fields of dermatology and a lot of interesting lectures present and sometimes it’s very difficult to choose some lectures between them to listen. I’ve seen that many participants listened to lectures eagerly but unfortunately posters received little attention because of not enough time. I think that it may be better organizer of the congress consider a separate time just for poster presentation.
