Many AD treatment goals focus on clinical manifestations, so that if a patient is free of lesions, their disease is considered well controlled. However, the inflammatory process underlying AD reaches far beyond the skin, affecting patients in unique ways at different stages of their lives. Education on the importance of treating AD beyond the skin and altering the treatment approach to fit the individual patient will help improve clinical management and reduce long-term patient burden.
Experts from different specialties use a case-based discussion to understand type 2 inflammatory diseases from a nurse practitioner perspective.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Eulàlia Baselga discusses data identifying atopic dermatitis as the first diagnosed atopic disease and the start of the atopic march.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Amy Paller reviews a Japanese study showing that early proactive treatment of infant atopic dermatitis with topical corticosteroids reduced the incidence of food allergy but was also associated with decreased gains in height and weight.

In this clip from the April WCPD 2025 symposium, Dr Paula Luna discusses how moderate-to-severe AD may hinder growth in pediatric patients.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares describes how IL-4 is the key cytokine involved in the initiation and perpetuation of Th2 cell responses and type 2 inflammation.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares discusses how type 2 inflammation plays a critical role in a broad range of diseases across different organ systems.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Amy Paller discusses the significant risk of developing other atopic diseases among infants with early-onset atopic dermatitis.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof Oscar Palomares highlights the substantial impact of type 2 inflammatory diseases on the quality of life of patients and their caregivers.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explores the histaminergic and nonhistaminergic mechanisms of itch, highlighting how type 2 cytokines like IL-4 serve as central orchestrators of neuronal sensitization and immune–nervous system cross-talk.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 inflammation and barrier dysfunction contribute to the development of atopic comorbidities and increased susceptibility to infections.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim describes the dynamic neuroimmune interactions in chronic pruritic skin diseases, emphasizing how type 2 cytokines and sensory nerves actively influence both itch perception and tissue inflammation.
