At Harvard Kennedy School, we apply a âmodest but livableâ standard when determining the 2015-2016 cost of attendance, and the domestic, international and Mason Program student budgets.e realize some students may incur expenses before the academic year gets underway but they cannot be included in the cost of attendance. For example, if a two-year student begins a lease in July with Harvard University Housing, July and August rent payments cannot be included in the cost of attendance.
â¢ PSORIASIS (noun). The noun PSORIASIS has 1 sense: 1. a chronic skin disease characterized by dry red patches covered with scales; occurs especially on the scalp and ears and genitalia and the skin over bony prominences. Familiarity information: PSORIASIS used as a noun is very rare.
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes itchy or sore patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. You usually get the patches on your elbows, knees, scalp, back, face, palms and feet, but they can show up on other parts of your body. Some people who have psoriasis also get a form of arthritis called psoriatic arthritis. A problem with your immune system causes psoriasis. In a process called cell turnover, skin cells that grow deep in your skin rise to the surface. Normally, this takes a month. In psoriasis, it happens in just days because your cells rise too fast.
