Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Initial Management and Introduction to Root Causes
Course Overview
Preview what you'll learn in this program
What You'll Learn
This activity serves as an introduction to the clinical presentation and management of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). The pathophysiology of these two diagnoses is rooted in the same spectrum of abnormal immune response, primarily mediated by mast cells. Using this framework, we will discuss the basic treatment principles clinicians can implement to stabilize mast cell response. Further, we will explore a deeper approach to the workup of these patients aimed at the identification of underlying causes of immune dysfunction which lead to MCAS and MCS.

New Insights into Managing Acne Through a Novel Nutraceutical
While acne has long been viewed as a condition of the pilosebaceousunit, accumulating evidence indicates that it may also be a result of systemic factors driving inflammation. These drivers include stress, hormones, diet and metabolism, skin and gut microbiome, oxidative stress, and immune function. Considering these targets on a systems-wide level could provide new approaches in managing acne. This master class discusses the evidence supporting the role of the six factors in the development of acne. It also presents clinical results from the use of a novel nutraceutical which addresses these root causes in subjects with non-cystic acne.
