Sodium content and the disruption associated with the twice-nightly dosing of sodium oxybate are common concerns when treating patients with narcolepsy. Is sodium content truly a risk factor for cardiovascular sequelae in patients with narcolepsy? Does twice-nightly dosing lead to medically unacceptable dosing errors? Join Drs. Sally Ibrahim and Clete Kushida as they dive into these questions and provide actionable answers for you to use in your clinical practice.

This program contains important information about the limitations of current therapies used to treat plaque psoriasis. Drs. Kim Papp and Jerry Bagel discuss these shortcomings and outline clinical data on investigational oral medications for plaque psoriasis.

In patients with decompensated cirrhosis and multi-organ failure, intensive care units must coordinate care between hepatologists, transplant surgeons, intensivists, and nephrologists to optimize patient outcomes. This roundtable highlights the importance of well-coordinated processes between floor units and ICU teams, including early response systems and regular multidisciplinary rounds to discuss management strategies and transplant considerations. Different specialists must collaborate effectively to make decisions about various treatments, including terlipressin administration, dialysis initiation, and transplant timing, particularly in challenging cases like alcoholic hepatitis. This activity also covers how teams must carefully balance improving kidney function against maintaining transplant priority scores.

This series of bite-sized episodes contains important information on the use of high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in multiple sclerosis (MS). Drs. Ahmed Obeidat and Mark Freedman discuss the role of inflammation in MS pathology, treatment strategies for high-efficacy DMTs, impact on cognition, and use in special populations.

In patients with cirrhosis and kidney dysfunction who are candidates for liver transplantation, transplant decisions are impacted by kidney function impacting MELD scores. This podcast explores ICU management of these patients, including the use of dialysis, and emphasizes the importance of considering multiple factors such as the etiology of liver disease, presence of chronic kidney disease, and individual patient characteristics. The experts highlight recent changes in transplant criteria, particularly for alcoholic hepatitis patients, and discuss the challenges of managing an increasingly diverse patient population ranging from young alcohol-related liver disease patients to older patients with metabolic-associated liver disease and multiple comorbidities.
