Understanding the Full Scope of PN: Lesions, Dyspigmentation, and Patient Burden
Professor Matthias Augustin details the various clinical manifestations of prurigo nodularis, illustrating how different lesion types can present concurrently in patients.
Understanding the Contribution of IL-4 in the Development of Fibrosis in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Sarina Elmariah highlights the multifaceted role of IL-4 and IL-13 in driving dermal fibrosis in prurigo nodularis, which leads to persistent scarring and dyspigmentation that significantly contribute to patients' embarrassment, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.
Beyond the Skin: Understanding Systemic Comorbidities in Prurigo Nodularis
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the high prevalence of both atopic and non-atopic comorbidities in patients with PN, including increased risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.
Targeted Approaches to Holistic Management of PN
Professors Matthias Augustin and Sarina Elmariah evaluate how targeted therapies transform the management of prurigo nodularis, addressing the itch-scratch cycle and broader manifestations such as lesions.
CRSwNP: A Chronic Type 2 Inflammatory Disease
Prof. Peter Hellings describes how type 2 inflammation drives CRSwNP.

Explore the clinical features, complex burden, and underlying mechanisms of PN.
What Went Wrong? How Dysregulated Type 2 Immunity Contributes to AD, PN, CSU, and BP
This is the full presentation of the March 2025 ADVENT cross-dermatology symposium, hosted in Orlando, Florida, presenting the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).

The faculty present the latest information around type 2 inflammation and its association with atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP).
ADVENT On Air | Getting to Grips With Atopic Hand and Foot Dermatitis: What Is It, and What Does It Mean for Patients?
This podcast episode looks at the epidemiology, clinical presentation and classification of atopic dermatitis of the hand and feet and the impact it has on patients' quality of life.
ADVENT On-Air Podcast: The Multifaceted Patient Burden and Drivers of Disease in Prurigo Nodularis
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.
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.
