Article Abstract

The burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) was assessed. A population-based, cross-sectional questionnaire study was performed among 34,313 Swedish adults in 2017. The prevalence of AD was 14%. Adults with mild AD had an increased relative risk ratio (RRR) of severe depression (aRRR 1.78, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.50-2.12) and anxiety (aRRR 1.97, 95% CI 1.69-2.30), which was higher for severe AD (aRRR 6.22 95% CI 4.60- 8.42, aRRR 5.62 95% CI 4.10-7.71, respectively). Persons with severe AD were less likely to have a university degree (aRRR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34-0.90) and more likely to have a lower annual income (238,000-324,000 SEK: aRRR 0.51, 95% CI 0.39-0.77; 325,000 SEK or more 0.36; 0.25-0.58) compared with individuals without AD. These results suggest that AD implies an increased prevalence of comorbid mental conditions and an adverse impact on academic achievement and work. These adverse associations increase substantially for patients with severe AD and comorbid asthma.

Allergic diseases, characterized by complex pathological mechanisms involving immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, impose a substantial burden on global health. The Hippo signaling pathway, a highly conserved regulator of cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune homeostasis, and tissue repair, has recently emerged as a pivotal player in allergic disease pathogenesis. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the core components and physiological functions of the Hippo pathway, elucidates its mechanistic roles in major allergic disorders-including allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies-and evaluates the therapeutic potential of targeting this pathway.

Early preschool wheeze trajectories are predominantly non-allergic with distinct biologic and microbiome traits.

Background: Disentangling preschool wheezing heterogeneity in terms of clinical traits, temporal patterns, and collective healthcare burden is critical for precise and effective interventions.

Objective: We aimed to collectively define contributions and distinct characteristics of respiratory phenotypes based on longitudinal wheeze and atopic sensitization patterns in the first 5 years of life.

Methods: Group-based trajectory analysis was performed in the CHILD Cohort study to identify distinct wheeze and allergic sensitization trajectories.

Atopic dermatitis is the most common chronically or chronically relapsing inflammatory skin disease, characterized by intense pruritus, eczematous lesions, and a significant disease burden. Emerging evidence in recent years suggests that atopic dermatitis and the associated chronic systemic inflammation have health implications beyond the skin. For psoriasis, another chronic inflammatory skin disease, the association with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is well-established.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, highly pruritic, relapsing inflammatory disease associated with high quality-of-life burden. Topical 1.5% ruxolitinib cream is a selective Janus kinase (JAK)1/JAK2 inhibitor that is well tolerated and effective in improving itch and lesion clearance in patients ≥ 12 years old.

Dupilumab for the treatment of cutaneous graft-versus-host disease: a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis.

Transplant Cell Ther

August 2025

Division of Pediatric Oncology/Hematology, Bone marrow transplant Unit, Meyer Children's Hospital IRCCS, Florence, Italy; Department of Neurosciences, Psychology, Drug Research and Child Health (NEUROFARBA), University of Florence, Florence, Italy.

Background: Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) remains a challenging complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), especially in steroid-refractory cases. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4Rα and inhibiting Th2-mediated inflammation, has recently emerged as a potential off-label treatment for cutaneous GvHD with atopic dermatitis (AD)-like features. However, comprehensive evidence on its use in this setting is limited.
