These are the ones in the above post. I would rather read the full description myself as I have to look back for the meaning of some of these
Tip: If you look just before the (***) it gives the explanation.
Middle East and Africa (EMEA)
Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP)
phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4)
psoralen and ultraviolet-A light (PUVA)
Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs)
psoriatic arthritis (PsA)
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI)
New Drug Submission (NDS)
Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
European Public Assessment Report (EPAR)
The reason is because what I put here is an abstract, the full report could be pages long so they abbreviate repeat sayings.
