  • Balancing Risk and Benefit: Traditional MG Treatments and Medications to Avoid
    Guest: Nicholas J. Silvestri, MD
    Guest: James F. Howard, Jr, MD

    The burden of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) on patients and caregivers is substantial. Current traditional therapies are often effective in the short term but bring with them many debilitating side effects. A more targeted approach to treatment that focuses on inhibition of the neonatal FcRn receptor complex is offering an exciting and different treatment option. Join Drs. Nicholas Silvestri and James Howard, Jr, as they discuss the expanding landscape of gMG treatments.

  • Evaluation and Management of AKI in Cirrhosis: At the Interface of Gastroenterology and Nephrology
    Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP
    Guest: Nancy S. Reau, MD
    Guest: Kevin Regner, MD

    In patients with advanced liver disease, decompensated cirrhosis and portal hypertension can impact kidney function through development of acute kidney injury (AKI). Multiple different etiologies of AKI can be seen in cirrhotic patients, including prerenal AKI, acute tubular injury, and hepatorenal syndrome (HRS), which require different treatment approaches. This podcast will emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary care and use of established protocols in treating these patients, particularly when considering a bridge to liver transplantation, and discuss specific considerations for patients with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).

  • Unique New Strategies for the Pharmacologic Treatment of Dry Eye Disease: Focus
    Guest: David Wirta, MD
    Guest: Selina McGee, OD, FAAO

    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.
