Janus Kinase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis: Military Considerations
1Department of Dermatology, Naval Medical Readiness and Training Command San Diego, California.
Abstract:
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors represent one of the newest and most promising additions to the available treatments of atopic dermatitis (AD). Janus kinase inhibitors offer several key benefits over injectable biologics to include more predictable pharmacokinetics, nonimmunogenicity, and flexible dosing, in addition to their oral and topical bioavailability. Recommended laboratory assessments before and during treatment in addition to medication side effects may limit the scope of use in the active-duty military population and specifically within special-duty populations. In this article, we review approved and emerging JAK inhibitors for the treatment of AD as well as important considerations for both military and nonmilitary patient populations.

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...

Leukotriene modifiers work through two distinct mechanisms:
cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways
Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...
