Abstract:
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin disorder affecting all age and ethnic groups. The age-dependent varying appearance and extent of pruritic lesions are accompanied by distinct individual suffering, highlighting the importance of effective treatment options. Over the past years systemic drugs have considerably extended therapeutic approaches of patients with moderate to severe AD, in particular new biologics, most notably dupilumab has appeared as major breakthrough. In addition to monoclonal blockade of IL-4 and IL-13 pathway, more cytokines have been found to play a substantial role in AD pathogenesis, presenting potential targets for new therapy options.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
