In this episode, Dr. Sarina Elmariah and Dr. Brian Kim explore prurigo nodularis (PN), with a focus on severe itch, fibrotic skin lesions, and their impact on patients’ quality of life. They discuss PN epidemiology, common comorbidities, and the challenges of managing multimorbid patients, while breaking down the neuroimmune mechanisms, highlighting the role of type 2 cytokines in itch and lesion development.

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.
In this video soundbite from the ERS-ISIAN 2025 symposium, Dr. Vibeke Backer discusses how Type 2 inflammation drives severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP. It covers key immune cells and biomarkers (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, TSLP), global prevalence differences, and the importance of symptom tracking and targeted therapies.

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.

Join experts G. Walter Canonica, Vibeke Backer, and Joaquim Mullol for an educational symposium on elevating treatment goals from control to remission in the upper and lower airways.
The ERS-ISIAN 2025 symposium, featuring Prof. Vibeke Backer and Prof. Sietze Reitsma, titled "Type 2 Inflammation and Disease Control in CRSwNP: Current Perspectives and Future Directions," will delve into the complexities of the role of type 2 inflammation in CRSwNP.

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.
Prof. Vibeke Backer provides an insightful presentation on the association of type 2 inflammation and the pathogenesis and management of severe and uncontrolled CRSwNP.

In this educational presentation, Profs. Vibeke Backer and Sietze Reitsma cover key aspects of type 2 inflammation and its role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP and practical strategies for optimizing disease control and improving patient outcomes.

Join global expert Dr. Michael Wechsler as he discusses type 2 inflammation in COPD.

Professor Lisa Beck explores the chronic and persistent burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) as well as the concept of early intervention in patients with AD.

Embark on this interactive triathlon challenge to uncover the interplay of type 2 inflammation, barrier dysfunction, and neuroimmune dysregulation in the disease pathology of CRSwNP.
