The Science Behind the Scratch: Pathophysiology of Age-Related Itch
Dr. Butler delves into the multifaceted biological mechanisms, including type 2 inflammation, that drive chronic pruritus in older adults. He explains how age-related changes contribute to epidermal barrier dysfunction, neuropathic damage, and immune decline, leading to chronic pruritus.
Unmasking Itch in Older Adults: Zooming in on the Unique Challenges
Dr. Butler emphasizes the increasing prevalence of chronic itch in the aging population and details the significant physical, psychological, and healthcare system burdens it imposes. He also explores why chronic pruritus is often under-recognized and challenging to diagnose due to its multifactorial etiologies

The Shared Path: Type 2 Inflammation As a Driver of Chronic Itch
Professor Matthias Augustin highlights the role of type 2 inflammation in chronic itch across distinct pruritic skin diseases and the cumulative burden of chronic itch and skin lesions in PN.
Decoding Chronic Itch and More in PN: Implications of Real-World Data for Clinical Practice
This symposium highlights type 2 inflammation as a key driver of chronic itch and the characteristic skin lesions of prurigo nodularis and evaluates the real-world implications of targeted therapies on clinical practice.
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.
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.
