ERS 2024 | View From the Clinic: What Are the Clinical Consequences of Airway Remodeling?
Professor Klaus Rabe shares a patient case highlighting the burden of disease associated with airway remodeling and discusses practical aspects of identifying and managing airway remodeling in severe asthma patients with Professor Porsbjerg and Dr Castro.
EoE: A Chronic, Progressive, Type 2 Inflammatory Disease Infographic
Learn about key drivers of type 2 inflammation in EoE and how they mediate progressive esophageal remodeling and impact patient burden
Prurigo Nodularis: Type 2 Inflammation Links Neuronal Dysfunction and Fibrosis
This infographic highlights how PN is driven by type 2 inflammation, linking immune dysregulation, fibroblast activation, and neuronal dysfunction to nodule formation. It also shows how cytokine-mediated changes in neuronal architecture increase excitability and chronic itch, where resulting lesions and scarring significantly impact patients’ psychological well-being.
Type 2 Inflammation Contributes to Itch and Fibrois in PN
Join Dr. Kwatra outlining the micro itch cycle involving type 2 cell polarization and cytokines that directly affect fibroblasts to cause more immune dysregulation in PN.
Expert Interview: Featuring Dr Shawn Kwatra on PN itch and impact on patients
Join Dr Kwatra as he dives deeper into the mechanism of lesion formation in Prurigo Nodularis and the impact the development of these skin lesions have on patient life.
ADVENT On Air | Exploring PN as a Distinct and Unique Disease
Dr. Sonja Ständer and Dr. Shawn Kwatra discuss the unique features of prurigo nodularis (PN) as well as the characteristics that are shared with atopic dermatitis, and aim to raise awareness of PN among both physicians and patients.
