Increased understanding of the neurobiology of dry eye disease (DED) has led to a greater emphasis on its significant and potentially serious impact on patients’ vision and quality of life. Emerging treatments for DED go beyond mere symptom management to target its neurobiology. Join an expert panel consisting of an ophthalmologist and an optometrist to discuss the burden and causes of DED, the role of the lacrimal functional unit in its pathophysiology, and the rationale for targeted neuromodulation. The panel will also explore the symptoms of DED and the new pharmacologic agents that target the LFU along with clinical evidence supporting their use. The program will also include a video vignette of a patient with DED to highlight the challenges and realities of living with DED.

This 15-minute audio podcast uses real-world patient cases to illustrate effective strategies for managing adverse events (AEs) associated with GPRC5D-directed therapies in multiple myeloma. Expert faculty discuss how to safely implement these therapies to achieve deep, durable responses while optimizing patient tolerability and quality of life. Listeners will gain insights into specific prophylaxis, dosing, and interprofessional management protocols to address unique AEs such as cytokine release syndrome, skin toxicity, and dysgeusia. This practical case-based discussion will equip healthcare professionals with actionable tools to improve outcomes for their patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Although the first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) revolutionized the treatment of Ph+ CML-CP, the rate of resistance to these agents is high, and many patients require further treatment with second- and third-line therapy. The development of newer drugs with unique mechanisms that can overcome these resistance phenotypes offers new treatment strategies that can maintain response rates. This activity reviews the current treatment options for newly diagnosed disease and the importance of integrating patient preference when planning therapeutic regimens.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, otherwise known as PDAC, is a lethal disease which is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage and has an extremely poor prognosis. Advancements in treatment regimens have improved survival rates, but early diagnosis is crucial for improving outcomes and awareness of risk factors is vital for early diagnosis. Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the cornerstone of treatment for advanced or metastatic cases, although molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapies may benefit select patients. Treatment selection depends on several factors, including patients' performance status and co-morbidities and these should be considered alongside the efficacy and safety profiles of the different chemotherapy regimens.

This 2-part microlearning provides an overview of the risk factors, diagnostic tools and treatment options available to date for different patient groups.

Complete both modules, answer pre- and post-test questions and start earning CME credits.

Discover the transformative potential of nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (ns-MRAs) in optimizing care for patients with the Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome. Emerging data presented at EASD, HFSA, ASN and AHA, highlight their ability to improve cardiorenal outcomes in the spectrum of the Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic syndrome. By integrating ns-MRAs into individualized treatment plans, healthcare professionals can offer their patients advanced care backed by cutting-edge research.

This series of bite-sized episodes will take you on the winding journey that patients with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) often undergo to achieve an accurate diagnosis. Once the condition is finally identified, even the most astute specialists can find themselves challenged by the treatment, management, and monitoring of these patients. Join Drs. Corey Casper and Sudipto Mukherjee as they explain the ups and downs of this rare disease.

During a satellite symposium at the AHA 2024 Annual Meeting, experts reviewed the role of novel disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in treating and managing pulmonary hypertension (PH) and the impact of current PH treatments vs novel DMTs. They also discussed how to identify appropriate patients for DMTs and strategies to customize treatment with risk-based assessments. In addition, highlights from the 7th World Symposium in PH were discussed. Tune in to keep up!
