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.
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 Pathophysiology of Prurigo Nodularis
An infographic exploring the pathophysiology of prurigo nodularis and the role of type 2 inflammation.
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.
Type 2 Cytokines Have Multiple Critical Roles in BP That Contribute to Inflammation and Itch
In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Prof. Enno Schmidt highlights the role of type 2 cytokines involved in the dysregulated Type 2 immune responses that contribute to inflammation and subsequent itch in bullous pemphigoid.
CSU is Associated With a High Burden and Impact on Quality of Life
Dr. Casale discusses delays in diagnosing CSU, the impact of severe itch on daily life and mental health, and the challenges in achieving remission.
