Coughing, Choking, Wheezing, Itching, Sneezing: Understanding the Connection Between Atopic Diseases Through a Case-Based Panel of Expert Nurse Practitioners
Join leading experts Miguel Lanz, Lakshi Aldredge, Angela Bretton, and Hilary Ugras in an engaging case-based discussion that explores the interconnected nature of chronic underlying type 2 inflammation and its profound impact across multiple diseases.
Prurigo Nodularis Management Goals: From Itch Control to Improved Quality of Life
Tune in as Dr. Sarina Elmariah describes the management goals for patients with prurigo nodularis.
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.

Inside the Hive: Type 2 Inflammatory Pathways in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
Join Dr. Jason Hawkes in discussing the burden of CSU and how type 2 inflammation contributes to the development of chronic wheals (hives) and angioedema
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.
AANP 2025 | Atopic Diseases & a Case-Based Panel of Nurse Practitioners
Experts from different specialties use a case-based discussion to understand type 2 inflammatory diseases from a nurse practitioner perspective.
The Role of IL-4 and IL-13 in CSU Pathogenesis
Dive into the complex pathophysiology of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), where mast cell degranulation drives the hallmark signs and symptoms. This interactive infographic elucidates how key type 2 cytokines, specifically IL-4 and IL-13, contribute to mast cell activation, immune cell trafficking into the skin, and neuronal sensitization in CSU, which ultimately leads to the release of mediators like histamine that cause wheals, angioedema, and itch.
