Itch in Prurigo Nodularis
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr Brian Kim discuss the burdensome itch in prurigo nodularis, the multifactorial etiology of the disease, and the multiple pathological factors that contribute to chronic itch and skin inflammation in PN.
CLCI in Atopic Dermatitis Infographic
This infographic highlights how uncontrolled moderate‑to‑severe atopic dermatitis (AD) can lead to Cumulative Life Course Impairment (CLCI) by contributing to ongoing physical, psychological, and social burdens such as itch and sleep loss, impaired bone growth and mental health challenges. It emphasizes the importance of early and effective disease control to help reduce long‑term impact on patients.
How Does Protective Type 2 Immunity Become Harmful Type 2 Inflammation?
In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation. The associated inflammatory process can contribute to the pathophysiology of several dermatological diseases, including AD, PN, CSU, and BP.
From Protective Type 2 Immunity to Aberrant Type 2 Inflammation
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares explains how type 2 immunity evolved to protect against parasites, venoms, and toxins, and how its dysregulation can result in aberrant type 2 inflammation underlying multiple chronic inflammatory diseases.
Lung Function Decline: Why it Matters and What’s at Stake for Patients
Understand the drivers of lung function decline in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic inflammation, key risk factors, and the impact on patient well-being .
A Tale of Two Itches: Bridging the Gap With Type 2 Inflammation in PN and CSU
Join Drs. Elmariah, Kim, and Metz as they explore the latest research on neuro-immune mechanisms driving chronic itch and inflammation in PN and CSU.
Neuroimmune Dysfunction Is Critical in the Pathophysiology of Prurigo Nodularis
Dr. Sarina Elmariah explains the importance of neuroimmune crosstalk in the development of prurigo nodularis.
ERS 2024 | Pathophysiologic Mechanisms of Airway Remodeling in Severe Asthma
Professor Celeste Porsbjerg presents the pathophysiology and disease processes involved in airway remodeling in severe asthma.
Pathophysiology of Blister Formation in Bullous Pemphigoid
Professor Enno Schmidt discusses the pathophysiology of BP, focusing on the role of type 2 inflammation and blister formation
Skin Dyspigmentation In Prurigo Nodularis (PN)
This infographic illustrates the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology and impact on patients of skin dyspigmentation in Prurigo Nodularis.
KOL Video Interview – Dr Paula Luna
In this exclusive video interview, Dr Paula Luna discusses how disease modification can be defined in AD and how IgE may be used as a biomarker in AD.
Type 2 Cytokines Have Multiple Critical Roles in BP That Contribute to Inflammation and Itch
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Enno Schmidt highlights the role of type 2 cytokines involved in the dysregulated Type 2 immune responses that contribute to inflammation and subsequent itch in bullous pemphigoid.
