Purpose Of Review: To analyze the status of precision medicine in atopic diseases.

Recent Findings: Atopic diseases are increasingly recognized as heterogeneous in nature and they can be quite different in severity, response to therapy, triggers, genetic back ground, ancestral risk and type of inflammation. This significant variability in the landscape of atopic diseases is not reflected in the common treatment guidelines that follow 'one fits all' approach for their management. Such an approach is largely based on minimal 'phenotype' elements, such as severity of disease and response to therapy and does not reflect the information accumulate in the last 20 years about particular pathogenic pathways (endotypes) leading to disease (phenotypes) based on biomolecular analysis of the single individuals. Accumulating data have defined asthma allergic rhinitis, food allergy based on their endotypes and clinically relevant phenotypes. In general, atopic diseases can be largely classified as high or low Th2 inflammatory status, which may explain the severity and response to therapy.

Summary: Precision medicine is aiming to use known endotype phenotype to guide specific individualized treatment. The work aimed in deep characterization of diseases to guide the disease management is crucial in light of the availability of ever more precise treatment able to target specific pathways.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterized by eczematous skin lesions and pruritus. There is an unmet need for effective first-line systemic therapies with good safety profiles, particularly oral medications. Orismilast is a novel first-in-class oral phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) B/D inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD.

Background: Atopic dermatitis is perhaps the most comprehensively studied skin disease in psychosomatic medicine and psychoneuroimmunology. Its biopsychosocial conceptualization incorporates psychodynamic as well as behavioral and systemic considerations. At the same time, there is also extensive biological knowledge of the neuroendocrine-immune control of barrier and immune function, characterized through animal experiments and translational clinical studies.

Following up on previous findings from the All Our Families (AOF) cohort, the current study investigated the relationship between birthing parent history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and child atopy, including asthma, allergy, and eczema, at five years of age. Potential indirect effects were explored. Participants completed the ACEs scale, validated questionnaires of anxiety and depression symptoms, and reported on their and their children's atopic disease history.

Objective: To evaluate the use of collar-mounted accelerometers to objectively monitor treatment outcomes in canine pruritus.

Methods: Observational data from 1,803 dogs from 2019 through 2023 were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of collar-mounted accelerometers to assess treatment efficacy for pruritic canine skin diseases. Accelerometer measurements were joined to electronic health records to establish symptoms, diagnoses, and interventions.
