Dupilumab Reduces Total IgE and Allergen-Specific IgE in a Real-World Study of Pediatric Patients With AD and Type 2 Comorbidities
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares discusses evidence demonstrating that dupilumab reduces both total and allergen-specific IgE in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis and comorbid allergic diseases, underscoring the role of IL-4/IL-13 blockade in modulating B-cell activity.
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.
A brief overview of the pathophysiology of PN
Dr. Chovatiya explains that PN is primarily a chronic itch disease with a complex pathophysiology involving neuronal changes, type 2 inflammation, and fibrotic skin processes, affecting patients' overall well-being.
Can Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps be Considered in Remission if the Patient has an Impaired Sense of Smell?
Dr. Backer discusses assessing remission in CRSwNP by evaluating the patient's sense of smell in this video clip from the EAACI 2024 symposium.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
Differential Effects of Dupilumab and JAK Inhibitors on CCL17 (TARC) in Patients With AD
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Oscar Palomares compares the effects of biologics and JAK inhibitors on the biomarker CCL17 (TARC) in atopic dermatitis.
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.
