The Patient's Path: Unraveling the Diagnosis and Burden of Bullous Pemphigoid
Follow Janet, a hypothetical patient, as she navigates the difficult journey of bullous pemphigoid, starting with symptom onset to diagnosis.
Cracking the Code: Diagnosing and Managing Skin Diseases With Type 2 Inflammation
This symposium delves into the pivotal role of type 2 inflammation in diverse skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and bullous pemphigoid. It highlights both shared and distinct disease mechanisms and patient burdens, providing crucial insights for optimizing clinical management strategies through a series of engaging panel discussions with Drs Eichenfield, Elmariah, Culton, and Hawkes.
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 .
The Benefits of Early Intervention in AD: More Than Skin Deep
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.
Beyond the Visible: The Cumulative Burden of Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Matthias Augustin emphaizes that prurigo nodularis is a chronic systemic disease with a significant and multifaceted burden, encompassing both visible skin manifestations and hidden psychosocial and physical comorbidities.
ADVENT at WCPD 2025
The ADVENT symposium at the 15th World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) will focus on discussions around disease modification in atopic dermatitis (AD) in three main topic areas: restoring the skin barrier, reducing non-atopic comorbidities, and stopping the atopic march in pediatric patients with AD aged 6 months to 11 years.
Under the Itchy Surface: The Insidious, Cumulative Burden of Type 2 Inflammation in AD
In this soundbite video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson highlights the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson explores how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the importance of early, effective treatment to alter disease progression.
Under the Itchy Surface: The Insidious, Cumulative Burden of Type 2 Inflammation in AD
In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses the systemic nature of atopic dermatitis (AD) and how the disease burden extends beyond the skin. Through the lens of cumulative life course impairment, Dr. Simpson goes on to explore how persistent type 2 inflammation in AD may drive both atopic and nonatopic comorbidities, emphasizing the potential importance of early and effective therapeutic intervention to alter disease progression
Atopic Dermatitis and the Growing Evidence for Its Association with Various Non-Atopic Systemic Diseases
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Amy Paller reviews emerging evidence linking atopic dermatitis not only to atopic comorbidities but to a range of non-atopic systemic diseases, including mental health disorders, neurodevelopmental conditions and impaired bone health.
How Biologic Therapy May Lead to Disease Modification in Infants and Children with Atopic Dermatitis
The underlying pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) is driven by dysregulation of type 2 immunity that contributes to skin barrier dysfunction. AD typically develops very early in life and children with AD often develop other atopic conditions such as food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis in a progression called the atopic march. Early treatment may help reduce the atopic march and other comorbidities to lessen the lifetime burden created by these diseases. There may even be a window of opportunity for disease modification.
